STAY AWAY FROM THAT CRIMINAL! I was given the contact information of Trex Samson, LLC, as a private money lender. I had been working with him, trying to get a $60,000 loan to acquire and flip a property. After sending several payments for taxes and miscellaneous fees, totaling US$15,180, and after having gotten a written guarantee that the loan was approved and that I would NOT need to submit any additional payments or else he would reimburse me all of my money within 48 hours, he came back to me asking for an additional $6,000 payment. Since I had no more money,this individual "negotiated" with me a last fee of US$ 2,000, which I sent, too, bringing the total to US$ 17,180.00. Since the loan was never processed, I enforced the reimbursement clause, needing to pay an additional $1,500 in "legal fees"., Bringing now the total money I had transferred to him to US$ 18,680.00 That was back in November 16. I still have yet to hear or read back from him. He since appointed another person by the name Jim Anderson to process my refund. This new individual is now requesting an additional payment of US$ 800 in order to process my refund and mail it to me.

His LLC is based in Nevada, his commercial address and phone numbers in Santa Barbara, CA. I deposited money into US bank accounts

Dear members: This post is to warn you. Do not do business with an individual by the name "Trex Samson" or his company "Trex Samson LLC". If you see this individual around, he is a fraudulent lender. I had been working with him, trying to get a $60,000 loan to acquire and flip a property. After sending several payments for taxes and miscellaneous fees, totaling US$17,180, and after having gotten a written guarantee that the loan was approved and that I would not need to submit any additional payments or else he would reimburse me all of my money within 48 hours, he came back to me asking for an additional $6,000 payment. I enforced the reimbursement clause, needing to pay an additional $1,500 in "legal fees". That was back in November 16. I still have yet to hear or read back from him. He is supposed to be a "Licensed Lender". Beware; he just wants to steal from you the same way he stole from me.

Great job, Stephen! I am in the middle of closing on my first deal I actually got in an auction and as soon as I close, I'll start with remodeling it. One question I'd like to ask you, since I am barely getting started, is: Where could I find the list of unpaid property taxes in my city?

I am Manuel (Manny) Fuentes. So far, I have been in the rat race working for Corporate America and am in the early stages of getting my Real Estate Investment Career started. I am currently working in the North-Central Florida area and am looking for deals I can wholesale, fix and flip and keep for generation of passive income.
