FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FLORIDA FATHER & SON TEAM DEFRAUD ELDERLY NEW JERSEY MAN IN OIL & GAS INVESTMENT SCHEME.

Team Now Operating in Florida & Texas . A 79 year old resident of New Jersey has been identified as the victim of fraud perpetuated upon him by Joseph “Joe” Frank Britton Sr, Joseph “Frank” Britton III, Dennis Timpe and Francine Britton (now deceased).    The investigation shows between September 2008 and December of 2010, the victim invested Nine Hundred and Fifty-Eight Thousand Dollars in a company called GlobalTec Energy Corp.     Joseph F. Britton of Holiday, Florida is listed as GTEC’s CEO; he is also listed as GlobalTec Intellectual Properties (GTIP) CEO.   Frank Britton of Wesley Chapel, Florida is listed as Associate/Consultant with GTEC.  Investigators found Joe Britton sold the victim stock in a series of shell corporations, which existed only on paper.     In April of 2008 the victim was contacted by Dennis Timpe, a broker with TD and Associates, Inc., Yorba Linda California. Timpe recommended GlobalTec Intellectual Properties/GlobalTec Energy Corp as a good investment opportunity.   Timpe specifically referenced GlobalTec earnings for clients investing more than $25,000 in NRG Corporations. Among the materials found after the victims death was a joint “Press Release” from Dennis Timpe & Global Intellectual Properties Corp (GTIP), inviting “clients” an opportunity to receive a Confidential White Paper on “Owning A Natural Gas Company”.  On July 23rd, 2007 T.D. & Associates, Inc. & Dennis Timpe were issued a “Desist & Refrain Order” by the State of California for violations of sections 25110 and 35401 of the California Corporations Code.   In April, 2005 the Alabama Securities Commission issued a Cease and Desist Order against T.D. & Associates, Inc. & Dennis Timpe in connection with oil & gas investments.  In November of 1998 the State of Wisconsin issued an order prohibiting Dennis Timpe and T.D. & Associates, Inc. from offering or selling securities unless registered in that state.  Wisconsin authorities found five prior orders involving alleged violations of securities laws issued by regulatory agencies in the states of Maine, Montana, Minnesota and Pennsylvania against T.D. & Associates, Inc. and Dennis Timpe.     Shortly after Timpe contacted the victim Joseph Britton began calling the victim encouraging him to invest in GTIP’s new business model, purchasing a Black Gold “NRG” oil company from GlobalTec Intellectual Properties.       From September 23, 2008 through January 29, 2010 -GTIP/GTEC sold five “NRG” Corporations to the victim for $258,000.  The corporations were registered in The Commonwealth of Virginia; Francine Britton was listed as the resident agent.     A review of the investment transactions the victim made after January 29, 2010 shows a different investment pattern.  The victim’s poor health and age allowed Joseph & Frank Britton to gain his trust, and to take advantage of that trust. Using a myriad of shell companies & structures the Britton’s were able to entice the victim to invest in, High-Side Oil & Gas Production Purchases which were reported to be lucrative but with a higher risk.  From April 10, 2010 to December 9th, 2010 the victim was pressured by Joe & Frank Britton to invest $ 700,000 in this fraudulent investment scheme.     To support the scheme, in 2009 GlobalTec Energy Corp began sending the victim checks reported as earnings on his various NRG Corporations.   A total of $77,608.94 was paid to the victim as earnings on investments by Global Tech Intellectual Properties and GlobalTec Energy Corporation, which is typical in what is commonly known as a “Ponzi” investment scheme.     A Doctor who cared for the elderly victim described his condition during this period stated, “Based on his poor physical health, he would not have been able to participate in complicated business transactions.”    The allegations are that the Britton’s were very much aware of the victims declining health and used it to further take advantage of the man.     GlobalTec is a privately held company, in order to complete their obligations under the contracts they signed with the victim they would have to contracts with other partners or own lease rights to oil and gas production sites.  GlobalTec Energy Corp is not known in the oil & gas industry, no contracts or vendors were found and GlobalTec Energy Corporation does not own lease rights to oil and gas production sites.            GlobalTec Energy Corps original web page listed 1225 Banks Ridge Road, Tazewell, VA. as its corporate address.  The phone number listed was 276-472-2122 (now disconnected).    The property at 1225 Banks Ridge Road was sold in a Trustees sale on 12-15-2011.  GlobalTec Energy Corp now lists its address as 3125 Shipwatch Drive, Holiday, FL. Phone 727-934-7179.       Joseph Britton advertises himself as an executive with 30 years experience as an independent financial and business consultant. He lists no experience in the gas and oil business.  However, he is listed as the CEO of GTIP, GlobalTec Energy Corp and the Business Manager of Enerops LLC (an oil & gas operating company in the State of Oklahoma.  Enerops LLC., advertises that it operates leases and wells owned by GlobalTec Energy Corp, in the State of Oklahoma.  Enerops LLC. is registered as a Domestic LLC  in Oklahoma. It was formed on 11-12-2008 and lists its address as 908 E. Grand Ave., Tonkawa, OK 74653.   Enerops LLC exists only on paper it does not operate in Oklahoma.       To date – GlobalTec Energy Corp has not produced evidence showing ownership of wells and/or lease agreements with drilling operators.   The Britton’s paid the victim earnings on his NRG investments from the victims continuing purchases of additional NRG LLC or amended rollover agreements.  When the victim died and the money stopped, GTEC left Virginia      Joseph Britton is still operating GlobalTec Intellectual Properties Corp. He is now associated with Florida International Funding Group LLC,  International Funding Group LLC- registered in Florida, and a series of Domestic NRG companies; NRG 7061 through NRG 7068 all registered in Texas.  Frank Britton is the sole corporate officer of FB3AJB LLC an active Florida Corporation.  Frank Britton lives with his wife Amy who has a degree in Nursing in Wesley Chapel, Florida and is closely associated with the Wesley Chapel Athletic Association.  He sits on their executive board and coordinates Lacrosse tournaments.        For additional information about this incident or if you are or know of additional potential victims of the alleged suspects please contact us at:  internationalfraudalert@nym.hush.com

The client later learned when a request was made to by the client to withdraw and return the funds as the condition for having placed them in escrow for safe-keeping was no longer valid, that the funds had been removed under Longo’s direction without notifying the owner of the intent to do so or to request whether the owner had authorized release as stipulated in the original escrow agreement.    This was done by fraud and forgery.

Once the distribution was determined to be improperly made the client then requested that Longo fulfill the firms’ fiduciary requirement as guardian for the funds. Upon such request the Mark Longo and the firm curtailed contact with the client and no longer responded to requests for just recourse.

The placement of the funds were made after clear understanding by document and verbal commitment by Mark Longo that all components were in good order and that he would manage the escrowed capital with appropriate authority as the legal representation.

In this case that did not occur and as such Mark Longo and his firm have violated their oath and then refused to take any action to rectify the malpractice of their actions.

This is not an idle rant. All signed documentation referred to relative to this notice is on file with the securities commission in the state of New York. This firm simply choose not to comply with its fiduciary responsibility and made no attempt to request if the entrusted funds had been authorized by the owner for release. We are making a HIGH ALERT of Mark Longo.  Do no business with Mark Longo or anyone he is a associate or partner with.  If you can not trust a man to do his job and if mistakes are made, to make them right, then he is not a man worthy of honor in his word.

(aka TPFX, Inc., Power Play FX) of Frisco, Texas, and its principals, Craig B. Poe, also of Frisco, and Thomas Patrick Thurmond (aka Patrick Thurmond) of San Antonio, Texas.
The court’s order requires both Poe and Thurmond,  to pay a civil monetary penalty of $3.24 million and $1.62 million and holds Total Call Group jointly and severally liable for the payment of these amounts.
The order, that was  entered on March 30, 2012, by Judge Richard A. Schell of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, stems from a CFTC enforcement action filed on September 29, 2010, that charged the defendants with issuing false customer account statements in connection with an off-exchange foreign currency (forex) fraud (see CFTC Press Release 5908-10).
The order finds that, beginning in early 2006 and continuing until October 2008, the defendants solicited approximately $808,000 from at least four customers to trade forex. In soliciting the funds, Thurmond made false representations to one or more of Total Call Group’s customers, including that Poe had been trading forex and living off the income for over four years, and that he and Poe had personally provided over $1 million to Total Call Group, according to the order.
At the end of August 2008, the defendants sustained trading losses and incurred trading fees amounting to approximately 90 percent of the then current balance of the trading accounts, according to the order. However, the defendants did not report these substantial losses to customers, but instead continued to promote the profitability of trading and solicited additional funds, the order finds.
In September through December 2008, the order finds that the defendants traded and lost almost all of the remaining funds in the trading accounts. Despite these losses, Poe sent false account statements to customers, including several false statements after the trading accounts were fully liquidated in November 2008, that collectively reflected a positive balance of over $750,000 in Total Call Group’s forex trading accounts.

This operation and its conspirators, defrauds victims out of tens of thousands of dollars with the oral promises of their expertise to set up all sorts of bogus and financially worthless non-sense.  The promises are riches to follow. in Fact “Ann Sellerie”  promises the victim $23,000.00 in sales were waiting to be processed thru his flagship account and that he was to get 35% of that amount in earnings.  Its all boloney.  If there was such money, the AMT folks would set all the cites up themselves and derive all the profits.  They make their money off scamming the victims. No real money is made on any web sites with tens of thousands in sales backing up and after we get Department of Justice/FBI involved, they will be hard pressed to show anyone making this kind of money that is the standard victim as the one who contacted us.   The set up is as many we have bore witness to.  The victim falls prey to the web and other scam calls.  Then another con artist calls and offers to help them get their money back from the scam site and takes even more money from the victim with promises to get their money back.  We think they are all connected together.

ALLEGATIONS:   This operation is nothing but  sham.  We think once records are examined that there will be little to no success stories.  The victims
are all in the same boat. The only place making money is AMT Network and its accomplices.  When the victims want their money back, the folks at
AMT demand they contact them first before doing a charge back.  Then they wear down the clock and claim they are past the time to get a refund, so
sad, too bad.   Then they attack them and try to make out that they in their generosity tried to help so much and the victim let them down.  Its
outrageous!  We have attempted to give the perps a chance to respond, they have refused.

One more year and he could qualify for the worst Pastor of all time!

Fox has confessed to affairs with his own church members, including one affair which involved his son’s mother-in law. This was not the only one.  It is alleged that this was not the only one.   1)  In another such affair, the woman’s husband was dying and Fox made his move while doing pastoral visitation. Fox claims he only had one affair, but in a deposition under oath when asked if he had an affair, Fox need to have clarified which wife he was being asked if he had an affair on.   2) His own son in law Glenn Denman stated he should not have voted him back in for Pastor after the first affair.  Fox knifed his friend and mentor in the back and took his position at the Church. 3) Fox’s grandson Don Denman is alleged to have broke into the church and stolen funds from the poor fund.  All evidence suggests he was behind it. 4) Fox lied about not standing up and making it clear he did not want the number one non-member who contributed funds for the building project to be a member.  All reasons listed from Fox when he officially refused membership to this person had not yet even taken place at the time he stood and made it clear he did not want this man and his wife as members. Fox did all of this without a notice or vote of the church 5) Fox took the initiative and wrote up a motion to have the people that put the most time into the building project of the new church building, working free for untold of hours to be tossed out of church membership. 6)In addition to the list above, Fox is content to collect a paycheck with the least amount of work he can.  His fame as the worst pastor has spread around the world on a Scandal website which gives the whole story.
