CommentThey then take considerable time in finding excuses not to produce what they initially promise.They claim they have access to funds but can not prove it hiding behind non disclosure agreements.
Claiming to have been in operation since 1991 there is not one shred of evidence that these companies have ever funded any projects.Using credible brokers who they eventually wear down with their constant delays and non communication they allude to being able to fund considerable projects but never actually produce anything.
It is a long term scam that by constantly promising and claiming to have access to finance this then allows them to continue accepting fees.This is fueled by the need for finance for non conventional projects that search other than mainstream funders.They quote timescales that they just do not adhere too and talk about having an extensive number of potential investors that no one can find Tom Mckenzie should not be allowed to charge for something him and his companies just never produce The pain that delays cause also incur costs frustration and false hope to their supposed customers.
If Tom Mckenzies practices are not illegal then he is completely immoral ask anyone that has been promised something for months and it never arrives. Even in the hard world of finance their working practices should be stamped out. Please do not pay Prospexx integrated Capital and Barrett Capital Exchane fees and they will eventually go where they belong under a stone!
Companies like Prospexx Integrated Capital and Barrett Capital Exchange should be obliged to give actual proof of funded projects so Brokers and Customers do not engage with them or send them any money unless they can.I think then they will be stopped causing the problems that they do and another scam will be prevented.

| 2. Written by DONT MUG YOURSELF, on 31-03-2010 11:15 Unfortunately my path crossed with Mr. Tom 'Mack' Mckenzie recently and I wont bore you with the details because they are the same as everyone else's on the internet. Investment group offering private capital, up front 'due diligence fees' etc... etc... When I asked him to provide some references of projects he funded he started jabbering about disclosure agreements etc... I wanted people to be aware that the latest paperwork has a company name on there of Bromot Capital Consulting claiming to have offices also in Ontario. If you google the address it will show an insurance firm, if you google Tom McKenzine, hopefully you find these threads before you pay any money to this turd. |
| 3. Written by LEGAL VIEW, on 23-12-2009 07:52 It is a general doctrine of law in all jurisdictions that making false public statements against a person or firm is illegal. Commonly known as “slander” (when verbal) or “libel” (when written), false statements to damage someone’s reputation is called “defamation”. Defamation is defined by various laws in clear and uniform terms: “Provably false statements of verifiable fact, that serve to undermine or damage someone’s reputation.” It is no defence to phrase a false statement as an “opinion”, one’s “own experience”, or as some alleged “consumer complaint”. As long as the comments contain some false statements of fact that could be verified as false and could or should be known to be false, then it is defamation, and it is illegal. All defamation is illegal, and law suits against false defamers are highly successful and collect substantial damages from the wrongdoers. Written defamation (which applies to the Internet) is punished harshly, and damages usually do not need to be proven, as they are assumed by law due to the written exposure to the public. Defamation falsely accusing of fraud or professional misconduct is even more severely punished by “treble damages” and “punitive damages”, which can be enormous amounts of money far beyond any expected real damages to the victim. All defamation to enforce demands is criminal as extortion or blackmail, which are serious federal crimes in all countries. Extortion (in the USA), also called Blackmail (in the UK), is defined in various laws in uniform terms: “Threats or actions to damage a person’s reputation, to enforce a demand for anything the person is not obligated to give.” Defamers who use false unlawful defamation on the Internet, to enforce demands of things not owed to them, are committing a serious crime. If a person is entitled to something, they are required by law to use normal lawful “due process of law”, where an independent, objective and impartial court can apply any signed contract that governs the transaction, if there ever was any. Using criminal attacks by defamation to circumvent due process of law is highly illegal, and indicates that the person defaming probably did something illegal or criminal to sabotage the transaction by his own fault, if there ever was any transaction. Defamers know that their false statements are illegal, and that false defamation to enforce unlawful demands is criminal. This is why they make great efforts to remain anonymous, to avoid both civil and criminal liability. Experience shows that once an anonymous online defamer can be identified and their identity exposed by a reply in that forum, they stop, disappear, or begin modifying their statements to back-track on their lies. |
| 4. Written by LEGAL VIEW, on 23-12-2009 07:49 All established companies fall victim to false unlawful defamation online. The more successful or important the company, the more aggressive, inflammatory and false are the claimed complaints, in an effort to overcome the good reputation or well known authority of the company being defamed. All of the most respected brand name banks are the subject of outrageous accusations by anonymous posts in online forums. Almost all law firms and accounting firms, both large and small, are anonymously accused of all kinds of “fraud” and “scams”, by people who claim to be clients. Almost all such false postings defaming good firms involve a demand for money from the accused firm. The false accusers never simply say that they just “hired” the firm – they cannot resist inflammatory language like the firm “took” their money, or they “lost” their money. Are we really expected to believe that anonymous postings are made out of the goodness of their hearts, out of altruistic moral desires to help other human beings by “warning” them of a “scam”, that they have nothing better to do than find ways to damage a good business reputation for the very doubtful and unlikely purpose of helping people they will never know? Of course not. Defamers spend time and energy on false and aggressive postings, because they are after money from the victimized firm, one way or another, only for themselves. Law enforcement experience is that almost every single anonymous online false defamation posting is almost immediately accompanied by a private direct email to the defamed firm making unlawful demands of money that is not owed, under threat of increasing pressure by false public unlawful defamation. |

Written by Jeff, on 13-12-2009 19:03 The man should not have lied that he had access to funds What goes around comes around then he starts creating pathetic web pages that make excuses but can just not show one funded project Get back under your stone thief. Trying to shame people that trusted him to do something Gave them his hard earned money and he still is in denial He has shut his sham so why does he not shut up He said no for so long and now he thinks people want to hear his ramblings.If he ever spoke to a serious funder no wonder they said no He is a sad old man that should go and play with his toys.Before the authorities seize them for taking money under false pretences. Be attentive he will try to do it under other names but remember you will get nothing from him. Pay the people their money back you did not do your job and never have! |

| 9. Written by Beck, on 26-11-2009 15:27 Have you seen this on BigsiteofMoney Tom Mckenzie is the personality behind a group of websites mainly with addresses in Ontario Canada. He claims to have access to capital to fund projects and charges upfront fees claiming to undertake due diligence. There is no evidence or testimonials to prove that anyone has ever received funds. The websites have common factors that make the whole picture very suspicious originally the name was Prospexx Integrated Capital www.prospexx.com and www.prospexx-i-c.com however those two websites along with Barrett Capital Exchange have had many disgruntled clients complaining on the internet. The website has been replicated with a name change and now appears under the name of Canada Capital www.canada-capital.ca so rather than proving it is a reputable company it has just changed its web name and making the same unsubstantiated claims. Tom Mckenzie is the common thread within this suite of websites that seems to make false statements. These web sites have identical addresses and contact details and 4025 Dorchester Rd. Suite 305 Niagara Falls, ON, Canada L2E 7K8 is the same address used by www.peregrinefundingpartners.com and www.trideca-advisors.com there are generic similarities to these and other sites. The address 150 Battery Street, Fort Erie Ontario Canada is used by Prospexx Integrated Capital. Number Contact 905.481.2329 this number is common to Prospexx Integrated Capital, Barrett Capital Exchange and now Peregrine funding Partners and Canada Capital Resources. Trideca Advisors is a website that has only recently become live but makes identical claims to previous sites. It also has an address listed in the USA Suite 331,266 Elmwood Av Buffalo, New York, USA.14222 and Toms direct line is listed on the contact details. An almost direct replication of this site is also at domain name www.trideca-dealer-group.com. The information desk number is the same 905 991-8841.as Trideca Advisors and the address 2-504 Steele Street Suite 156 Port Colborne, Ontario L3K 6A7 Canada is common to www.canada-capital.ca , www.barrettcapital.ca, and www.trideca-dealer-group.com All these sites make similar claims by what seems to be Tom Mckenzie that after charging upfront fees he has access to funding this is not supported by any proof. He has posted some limited explanations to clients on the internet that seems to indicate that his clients agreed to paying him fees for trying to achieve funding but there is no proof he ever has. This is the major problem with the claims on these websites and it is Mr Thomas Mckenzie that has to prove he has or can fund anything or the negative conclusions on the Internet must be assumed to be correct. Is it a simple misrepresentation charging fees claiming the ability to access funds when there is no evidence to support that claim. Is this a classic example of abuse on the internet to charge fees while making claims that can never be fulfilled? Or is it just a scam? |
