Believe maybe RedWaters

call came from 310 6231728 but it was probably the same gang. Guy invited me to a free weekend seminar in Vegas on May 7, 2010. I refused and he suggested a later date tbd. The seminar was about "energy".
How do I know this isn't a scam? Everything else is.

What ever you do. Do not invest with these guys. I made the mistake of investing with them and am having a hard time getting my money back. Huge mistake. My loss and bad exprience with Leland Energy should be your gain

What happened with leland? were u investing in oil wells to drill?

I am currently involved in an Oil and Gas program. These guys started sending revenue checks then stopped I have been calling them, but I am about to get the SEC involved. I have a lot of money tied up with this company. What ever you do. Do not send them one dime Leland Energy and the CEO Steve Thompson are scam artist

My name is Steve Thompson and I am the President of Leland Energy. We have been in business for over 30 years. We have had successful programs and some not so successful. And, after these last 18 months of current economic chaos, we have indeed had challenges in achieving some of our goals. Difficult field conditions have also hindered our ability to live up to our expectations. Having said all this, we did not abandon our partners or file chapter 11 to negate or otherwise look to avoid our commitments and obligations. Even with these hurdles, we are committed to moving ahead to get the job done.  I can only represent the following: First, we have great assets in the ground that are just now coming to fruition; second, even though the economic conditions are a death knell for most small companies, we have managed to keep moving forward, third, we are just now about to get some re-financing and operational support after almost 12 months of literally non-existent credit facilities, and fourth, though some may question our judgments and we may make errors, we do not lie to anyone.  To my knowledge, we do not know the identity of the individuals posting the negative comments on this site and therefore cannot address the specifics of their claims. Anyone interested in seeing their investments work out should be more interested in seeing the company be as trouble-free as it can be, so that it CAN achieve utmost productivity in the areas needed and move forward. Things do not always work out the way they are planned, but that does NOT mean they cannot or do not work. While BIG companies ("To big to fail") have been either bailed out or have GONE OUT OF BUSINESS, Leland has been and will continue to service our partners. There will be NO further response to comments as I feel that a continuous dialog in this fashion with anonymous individuals would be counterproductive.  Anyone interested in solutions may contact me directly. My number here is 310-360-4130. Thanks for your time. S.M. Thompson.

Interesting, no safe harbor disclaimers, unsubstantiated claims.  You don't have a clue about investment regulation do you? Do you even have a lawyer, or is that one of the areas where you cut costs LOL

The SEC will be very interested in this propaganda, I'm sure!

Just got a similar call from a very nice sounding guy describing the "May 7th meeting in Las Vegas".

When I told him we would love to go if they would cover our air fare from Hawaii and accomodations and
other expenses in Las Vegas -- and he agreed that this was certainly possible -  I knew we had a
very unlikely (to say the least) legitimate situation.

Thanks for the information which I resourced while he was still on the phone.

949-382-6539 is the number used to call me from Leland Energy-  same May 7th gathering in Las Vegas - too bad I already have other plans for that day - oh well

Please Mr. Steve Thompson - address the issue with the State of Wiconsin who deemed it necessary to order you to stop any and all attempts to sell securities there in 2002 - (http://www.wdfi.org/newsroom/admin_orders/02_archive.htm) - but I suppose that was just a little misunderstanding - a little clerical error - right?  So now you're peddling in California at 261 South Robertson Boulevard Suite 200 Beverly Hills, CA 90211
.
Well, have you registered here with the State of California for sale of securities yet?

I went to the investor meeting in Vegas, it way nice.  I got to talk to Steve Thompson he is up front and smart guy.  I think this company is going to do some good things,  I will invest with this company.

I met Steve Thompson of Leland Energy and was very impressed with him. Leland Energy is a great company.

To Stephen Thomas I am an investor in your company past due from our contractual agreement, Your conduct in  our correspondence represents fraud, unless clarified; you said you would work out a payment schedule in paying back Mr Clark, He in a agreement lent you funds for a short period of time.
After that process you sent Mr Clark shares of a Consolidated Services which is pretty much useless. We had an agreement for you to borrow money for a short duration and than pay back the principle, None of this was done, everything your company has said  could be and is a fraudulent representation of agreement . As I see it , you mentally forced groups of people called funds to take shares in Consolidated Services " Oil and Gas Co?"Stock in place of their money or shares of said funds, I being just a cash investor for a short time was not given the opportunity to get my money back at the end of Contract. Unless proved other wise your company is a fraud.  Charles Clark, Calhan Co

Its funny to messages basically out of the Blue saying what a great guy Steve Thompson so of Leland Energy Inc and Consolidated Services who he is one of their CEO's or something, Find these folks giving these nice guy referrals fishy to say the least could of least gave a who they our.I call it damage control. I know Steve yes he is a great guy so our some used car salesman but do you get what you were promised no, in this case. I have an attorney for anyone who is interested in finding the facts out, Best Regards C Clark Calhan Co.

Regarding my earlier message, I am in the process of actually getting Data from one of Steve's VP's, if it works out and our problem has been lack of communication I'll let this page know if  its something else I will let this page know. I do believe that Stephen Thompson is very interested in Oil and Gas drilling and has some experience in production , they do have it seems lots of potential which I'll let you know if its
workable in my opinion. Best Regards Charles Clark

This may be of importance to you!

I invested in Leland Energy in July of 2009 in the Asset Management Drilling Fund, LLP,  and attended the Las Vegas event in 2010. It is unclear to me at this time if they are conducting business inappropriately, however I will say this. At the time of the event Stephen Thompson was the CEO of Leland and Consolidated and when asked pointed questions about Consolidated's intentions,  goals etc.. he could have at anytime stated he AS CEO of Consolidate believes .... but he never mentioned anything about being a part of Consolidated and his answers were extremely short and non informative while transitioning to another topic leaving me to believe he had little knowledge of Consolidated's strategy other than his statement about looking for bigger fish than Leland Energy.

Months go by without a royalty payment or any contact - I have had to call and pushed to receive my royalty payment, and I have received it, but I don't like having to ask several times for what is due me.

I received A ballot to vote for the exchange of the 1st operating well for stock "equities" in CNSV. I voted against the sale. Here are the reasons why. CNSV was originally in organic food and appeared to have failed in that business. They shifted gears and were now trying to use their penny stocks to acquire operating assets, they had no website or detailed financial information available and the management looked like it was due for a shake up. I have asked repeatedly to three different staff to get information about the vote data because I don't want penny stock in a company that is questionable, and I would believe anyone else investing in non traditional investment assets did so because they were intelligent and adverted to the stock market condition, thus would want to stay away from equities. I have never received any information and most importantly the ballet stated that management "Stephen Thompson" strongly recommended the transaction for stock. I called Leland Energy and spoke to the person involved my my initial transaction and specifically asked why management would even consider recommending something that looked to horrible on paper and what did they know that I didn't and why did they recommend this transaction and to please provide me a list of the vote results and associated data that I never could get. Well this would have been a good time to state STEPHEN THOMAS WAS THE CEO OF LELAND ENERGY AND ALSO THE CEO OF CNSV CONSOLIDATED SERVICES and that maybe it might be self motivating to get his clients to transfer good working wells for penny stock at a big loss. My own research a few weeks later showed Stephen Thomas was the key person that facilitated the transfer of good working wells for penny stocks at a loss to his clients and never disclosed he was the CEO of both companies, nor would his employees. When asked the answer was they told some clients and thought they had told me too... come on!

Now for the numbers - CNSV stock is questionable yet was trading at aprox $100 per share before tens of millions of assets were exchanged - the fund received 1.1 million dollars total from investors for 4 wells. 1 well, of 4 would then cost $275,000, yet it was according to Leland Energy management valued at $165,000, so why on earth would anyone buy something for $275,000 and sell it for $165,000 in exchange for penny stocks valued at ~ $100 with a perceived value of ~ 136% of value which still make the sale a loss no matter how you look at it. Now the stock is under 30 cents and the only winner I can see if the CEO of both companies while he transferred good working assets from his clients to his new company in exchange for non performing penny stocks.

I have asked several times for the vote results and whom my partners are and I cannot get that from Leland Energy - if you are a partner or want to help promote knowledge and transparency of these matters and Leland Energy and CNSV then please post your comments and or contact me directly at jonngina@live.com

Quick Update - the $100 described in the previous thread is supposed to be $1 not $100.

CNSV stock is now trading at .11 Cents making a $275K investment in the only operating well owned by the fund at that time now worth less than $16,500 in CNSV stock, not to mention I was shored 250 shares and never made whole - not that it matters at $0.11 per share.

What is equally alarming is one of the other many businesses Stephen Thompson has headed, like Pavilion Energy Resources, symbol PVRE is worth $0.01 cents... Also according to information on the internet claims to own the same fund as Leland energy... There are other businesses that Mr Thompson has lead in various top positions along with his brother whom seems to keep a low profile, anyhow these companies have one thing in common, they all end badly.

I'm still waiting for the vetting and voting documents to show real people did vote horribly wrong without proper knowledge of disclosures.

I also invested with Leland and got shares of a worthless company. I am interested in pursuing as i told them that i was not an accredited investor originally and they told me they could work around that. I never sent in my packet for the vote yet they still sent me the shares. The reason i did not send it in is because i was going to vote NO but it ask if i was accredited or NOT.  I did receive a call from the State of California a week ago asking me exactly how the first conservation was when i talked to Leland and if i was accredited. If anyone can tell me where this is at i would appreciate it.  Thanks

This is the second company to call from the same phone number.  
When I was working with True Green Energy Group and needed to call them, the man answering the phone
said they were "gone" and told me it is now Leland Energy.  True Green's parent company is Spectrum Blue Steel, so if anyone has any information on either of these companies, I would really be interested in reading it.

Since my experiences with TGEG were very unsatisfactory and I have yet to see any money or checks, I was very leary about doing business with a company answering the same phone number and selling the same  oil investments, regardless of the actual name of the company.  All of the companies say they are in Beverly Hills, CA but have been sending me information and investment pacs from Irvine,CA.  The phone is registered as a landline in Irvine,CA also.
 A company may be a great investment, but how does one know if the "Senior Fund Executive" is telling us the facts, and is actually putting the money we send where we want it to go? Anyone can actually find out the public information, copy it and send it out as an investment pac, including pictures of any active wells anywhere .  I really feel that there are scamming salesmen claiming to represent these companies, and never send the funds to a paying/ profitable company.  By the time we decide to complain about not receiving the royaties check, the company is now" based" out of the country -such as Canada and Asia, and we have no recourse to recoup our investment funds.
The latest company to contact me is Synergy Energy Group.  Exact same conversations!  Is any energy company worthy of our investment dollars?
If anyone has any dealings with any of the companies mentioned, please let me know.  I believe other readers would be interested in finding out the facts and protecting their investments.
