It has been two and a half years that I have been trying to get some resolution from Scott Carson regarding my investments with him, and it’s been a frustrating road, peppered with financial loss and a near complete lack of communication on Scott Carson’s part.
I have posted the ORIGINAL PETITIONS or COMPLAINTS in 18 cases of OTHER investors who have filed suit against Scott Carson.
Those filings in the 18 COURT CASES, as well as my story are posted at:

Nice work Erin. Be careful about slander though. Even someone who is being prosecuted can start trouble for you if any of that content is considered slanderous. You may want to password protect some of the content and have the visitor complete a form to request access and agree to some kind of statement of indemnity

@Erin Lamb, Thank you for your story, my jaw hit the table when I read it. I know how much this hurts to type out, though you have done other new & naive investors a HUGE favor pointing this out so they hopefully won't be swindled. Like one well respected educator says, never buy notes or JV with guru's.

Christopher, would you be willing to share the "wise educator", as those are wise words, indeed?
Erin, you have done potential investors a HUGE favor in presenting the actual Court Filings, for those people on the fence who think this is an isolated occurrence.
18 people filing lawsuits is more than just a couple of investors getting impatient with the situation.

Again, Erin, let me congratulate you and thank you coming forward.
I hear over and over again people say that they wished they would have known about somebody else's experience before they themselves went down that same road.
If you hadn't come forward with your story on the website, and the 18 court filings, and people with similar experiences hadn't shared, then how would others ever be warned?
If we all feared slander over warning other people, then we would enable Scott to continue this behavior. It's pretty obvious to me that after 18 court filings, all mentioning a JV agreement that sounds frightfully similar to mine, that this is a practice, and not an isolated situation.
