Black Sports Agents Association / Andre Farr CEO
Of Black Sports Agents Association bilks two elderly women out of $10,080

I joined as an Executive Member of the Black Sports Agents Association in 2007. My membership fee was $2,800.00. For $2,800, Andre Farr, the CEO of BSAA states that I will be joining an organization of elite Black Business Professionals. The purpose is to get to know each other and support each other in our business ventures. The first year I went to three meetings. I met people but was not allowed to collect business cards. Mr. Farr's administrative assistant stated that it would not be appropriate. The following year when Mr. Farr ask for another membership fee I declined. I stated I hadn't gotten anything for the first year's membership fee. He assured me if I paid another membership that he would help find financial support for my non-profit organization that puts on high-end social events for seniors.
I gave him another $2,800. He tells me he has a sponsor for my first event and I am introduced to a fellow Executive Member. They state that I will have the money one week before the event. The money doesn't come on time but Mr Farr tells me to go ahead and host the party and I will be repaid. I borrow $2,500 from my mother and host the party. I am constantly getting assurances that the money is coming so I continue to believe in Mr Farr and host a second event. The same thing happens at the second event. Mr. Farr tells me he is going to use his junior group of members call the D.R.E. Group to raise funds from corporations and other Executive Members but fails to do so. I am out of another $2,500 dollars. When I ask Mr. Farr for the money he says he intends to pay my mother back. The first event was in May, the second in August.
It is now October and I have not received any funds at all and Mr. Farr sent his attorney to contact me to forbid me from telling other Executive Members what he has done to me and my 89 year old mom, I am 61. I asked for a refund of my membership fee because Mr. Farr failed to perform as promised. He has refused to refund my membership and the money he asked me to front the events. I am now out of $10,080. I am currently in the process of filing a complaint with the District Attorney Consumer Fraud Division in Los Angeles. The purpose of this report is to warn other potential victims. I am not the only one that has been taken by Mr. Farr. There are many Executive Members that are very unhappy with his organization so I hope they join me in my suit. All that glitters isn't gold. Mr. Farr gives the illusion that you will meet powerful people that can help you but he never delivers. Buyer Beware.
