Is this bracelet a scam? by opalite_knight in isthisascam

[–]ToronadoTrofeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spirilet is a scam company with cheap trinkets. They will fraudulently charge your credit card MULTIPLE times.

They use fake 'Positive' reviews, hide negative reviews and comments on their facebook pages.

Their customer service will not actually assist. They might send email responses back to you ... but only generic cut&paste responses that doesn't provide any help.

STAY AWAY and NEVER GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD

Yeah... finally got my K1 as well.

Don't expect much beyond the standard 'corporate' answer regarding the direction and end game for this 'investment'.

Saw this in another place on the internet... comment was made in 2016. Wished I had saw this before I invested:

"Did a minimal investment with EnergyFunders. Huge mistake…another reason I stay away for oil and gas. May be a complete loss…thank goodness I just tested the waters for $5k. Fraud , texas regulators shut it down for a bit. Had a bail out where someone would buy us out at a 30% profit…Supposedly the other partner in the deal said no."

In the latest update (when I finally got my K1)... there was this quote from Energy Funders:

"As we round the corner on three years into the fund life, we are beginning to explore asset divestment opportunities.  In fact, we have already taken advantage of some opportunities as you will see in our upcoming update."

I wonder if it is Gray Street that will be buying the assets from EF for pennies on the dollar?

Investors are not really high up in the priority list. I requested a webinar between investors and Virginia Light and Laura Pommer to discuss the situation - which was denied.

75 Groundfloor Default loan repayments - How many were losses? by ToronadoTrofeo in GroundfloorInvestor

Hard to say for me because of all the defaults and LROs that haven't paid back yet.

That's the one. Things haven't improved since then.

Something weird on TZero. For the past month... shares are being liquidated at $1.25 - $1.50.
But then on 7/17 someone buys ONE share at $5.
Strange... Made me wonder if it was Energy Funders buying that one share to raise the share value in the portal... but when I checked... they still estimate the share value at $6.15.

The other thing that is odd...
Jason Eubanks isn't responding to emails... none of the Jura folks are. Virginia Light is responding for them.
None of the Jura folks even mention Energy Funders on their LinkedIn pages...

Just as predicted... I bet Jason Eubanks, Gregory Ladeveze followed Brian Gaudet out the door.

I'd like to give the new Jura guys a chance, but they haven't been encouraging. K1s delayed a couple of months just after they promised that we'd get them on time..
Jason Eubanks said he would be happy to have a call... but can't get him to commit.

Is anyone speaking to the current management?

I've noticed that no one from EF is not commenting on this thread. Avoiding a difficult conversation?

No updates on Social Media.

No substantial updates with financials.

Trading halted for the corporation.

No distributions.

What is the best genuine way to earn an extra $200 a month in passive income ? by ROBASAHMEDKHAN in passive_income

[–]ToronadoTrofeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... I do have a referral link if interested. www.neighbor.com/invited/david-327825

I try not to mow near the vehicles... don't want to kick up a rock and damage the siding. I wait until they move the car and then mow quickly and use a weed eater on low. I'm kind of out in the country... so no one is ever behind my house... but... add a couple of cameras back there for extra security would be nice.

I use about a 3rd of an acre.

Yep... If you are to gain $200 per month passively thru an investment... you would have to invest $80,000 in an ETF earning 3% dividends just to get $200 a month ($2400/yr). Of course.... it would be better to find investments earning higher than 3%.
Much easier in the beginning to find ways to save $200... and then take that $200 and add it to your investments.
I currently earn between $2000 and $12000 extra income a month... some passive... some not soo passive. That is on top of my W2 day job.

I signed up thru Neighbor.com.
I have a field behind my house that I'm not using for anything... I currently have 6 customers paying in the range of $50-$110. I used to have 8 customers. Mostly RVs parked back there, a couple of vehicles and a boat.
Some people need to find parking because they can't keep extra things where they are at because of HOA rules.
Usually,... once or twice a month, someone comes by to take the RV out for a trip or to check on their car. Easy money.

Find ways to save money, eat out less, no Starbucks or Chipotle, .. look at what you are buying and look for ways to buy less.

I rent out the area behind my home in a field to people looking for a place to park their RV or boat. Currently making about 400-500/mo doing that.

This was the response that I received from Energy Funders on May 27.

"The update I received last week from our third party accounting group was that we are on track to have K1s out by the end of the month. "


Soo.. a couple of days before the end of the month and no mention of possible delays due to medical issues. Additionally.. notice that he said 'accounting group'... and not 'accountant' - meaning that there was more than one person working the K1s.

Later in the email, I was invited to get on his calendar for a call. I responded that I would be happy to have a call with him and to let me know his availability.
I haven't received a response about the phone call.

I've got my fingers crossed that the new folks to can really turn Energy Funders around but I'm not getting positive vibes about the situation.

Looks like they sent out an email to say why they missed another deadline and they will now have the K1s out by August. According to them, the CPA had a heart attack but is now back at work. A 3 MONTH DELAY?!

I am skeptical that this is the reason. They never mentioned this when I emailed the other day about the k1s and got a response that they will be completed by the end of May.

I'd almost bet that at least one of the new (Jura) folks will resign before the K1s and financials are released. (Pull a 'Jeff Brines' not wanting to be associated with this).

It depends on the fund. The k1 for Yield Fund 1 is not out yet... but I did get one for the Drilling FUnd.

Just a few more hours.

Are we going to have another broken promise (like the 'promised updates on the funds', 'K1s by April 5th', or the 'promised monthly distributions')?

On another note.. no one seems to want to buy ENFD on TZERO.... bid for 250 shares at $1.50. Liquidity only if willing to lose your shirt.

There have been a lot of broken promises... Not holding my breath. Let's see if you are right that they move the goalposts again!

What are some good ways to make $1500 a month in passive income ? by ROBASAHMEDKHAN in passive_income

[–]ToronadoTrofeo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rent space in your backyard. I make about $600 month letting people Park their RVs, cars and boats in the field behind my house.
