Almost Out · Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2008 7:03 am Subject: Remaining issues from Sifxpert

Havent heard from Sif (Suprise) but that means the remaining 2 items he was working on are not getting attention either.
One was charged off and the other appears to have been sold to a CA. 7 weeks ago he told me that he had a settlement offer for the Charged off item. I was ready to move on it but never allowed him to have any money controls so i was waiting for the letter from the creditor which never came.
What should I do? Obviously i need to move on this fairly swiftly.
In reviewing my credit report i see that my recent address is listed as one of Sif's addresses, and the contact information is the same. I dont know where to start...
Up until recently things appeared to be going well...the accounts that were settled were done so dirctly to the creditors. I cant afford to lose sleep now...any advice would be greatly appreciated....

I am almost with the same situation. The most scaring thing is that we don't know if he is still in business or not.

I'm going to utilize a local attorney to work on this further. I will also have them initiate contact to terminate the limited power of attorney with Sif. I can use the funds i would have paid to Sif for his services...I cant wait to see what happens to this guy...

It is very difficult to make out who is real and who is not.
Pardon me for this question, mates.

But were you there at Sifxpert's forum?

If any of you were at his forum and were posting there lately, please email at email removed

I did look at his forum before it was shut down I and I did see a lot of complaints from people begging him to return their calls.

Heard from Sif today...Interesting story about hiring someone to cover while he was away...And the hired hand is the culprit.
You have to hear this one...

What a Bull!!!!

He contacted me too, with a completely different BS story. Must be difficult for James to keep all his stories straight. He is in deep doggie doo-doo.

Would like to hear the version you got...

Hilarious, so he hasn't returned emails or phone calls for 3 months after he personally took all my money out of my account with his signature and endorced in his name as the payeein his and now the story is that he left it up to someone else to take it out of his account and pay the companies that he was suppose to pay in the first place. The poor guy has been robbed. What was police report number on this outradgeous crime? It is almost comical how the stories change.
Soooooooooo, he just didn't bother to check his forum or messages for three months but yet somehow managed to call selected clients throughout this whole time frame, assuring them that everything was being taken care of. I'm sure that those selected clients were clients that were in the process of transfering money into their special accounts for him. Please people, keep James's stories to yourself because I don't think any of his former clients wants to hear them. We just want our money and quite frankly don't care why he took it, we just want it back.

Did James contact you? What did he say? What is his story. When he contacted me last week, the story was his account was wiped out and he served his ex-boss with a major lawsuit and his attoryey suggested him not to open his forum and keep it quiet. Then I have not heard from him again.

His account wasn't wiped out, my bank reversed out of it a duplicate check about 10 days ago for $4500 and if it was, it was himself that wiped it clean after stealing our money. Someone explain why he took our money out of our accounts as himself as the payee instead of our creditors? No matter how many times he changes his story, he won't be able to explain this question away.
He had the time to take our money but no time to do anything else.......how convenient. As for suing his exboss......I believe that was from more than 3 years ago in Florida and I fail to see any relavance with our situation..... unless you call stealing our money to help him pay for his law suit a relavent issue.
We've now got automobile accident laying him up, law suits with his exboss, an employee stealing all of his money.....got any more stories for us Mr. James Lombardo? Like I said, we don't want to hear your stories....sell your BMW, sell your house........and start paying your clients back all of the money you stole from us.

Okay, now those of us who rightfully deserve a refund have two problems. Not only do have have to deal with Mr. James Lombardo. But now we have to deal with some of his clients.
He named names, which wouldn't be appropriate for me to post here, YET.

I had a very in depth discussion with Mr. Lombardo yesterday, unfortunately I talked with him more yesterday than at any other time during our dealings, combined.

Mr. Lombardo said that those who do deserve a refund will get their refund, however it may take some time due to the fact that many of his clients have took it upon themselves not to pay his fees since many know that the situation he got himself into leaves him in a world of trouble.

For those of you who owe him his fee, PAY IT. As far as I see it, those of you who took it upon themselves not to pay Mr. Lombardo his fees because of this mess, well, you are no better than him, YOU TOO ARE THEIVES, you are keeping us that deserve a refund from getting it.

That being said I'm proceeding as planned, I have an appointment with my local attorney and local PD to go after Mr. Lombardo if I don't see a full-refund by 12 Noon CDT today. All my letters and evindence are ready to be mailed to every agency I could think of which includes the FTC, iC3, BBB, Irvine PD, OC DA, CA Attorney General, Local Attorney General, Ripoff Report, LA ABC, producer of 20/20, local attorney for criminal suit, and CA attorney for possible class action civil suit.

IF YOU OWE IT, PAY IT!!! If you deserve some type of refund, well I suggest you hop on this bandwagon as it may be a quick resolution to our problems. Either way, I will fight this until I get my money back, my motivation is not only the money, but to get my family back.

Client of James · Posted: Tue Jul 22, 2008 7:11 am Subject:

I paid my fees, as a matter of fact when he cashed 4 checks out on 6/25, he already took his fee but never settled my accounts.

James - if you read this, can you contact me? I'm the person who actually did a 3-way call with my bank and your bank for you to be able to cashed the 4 checks total $12,243.
In some way I want to believe James, because when I told him I have $30,000 to settle (someone loaned me the money). He could have taken it all, but he only cashed $12,243 for the 2 accounts he is supposed to settle and his fee.

My marriage is also on a thin line now...please refund my money!

SinkingFast, you certainly have done something strong to get Sif's attention. Was it your inititation to contact him again or he did that himself?
