  • Have met with rep. in Mission Viejo, did not invest. Later talked to on who had and he was not happy. Have heard on noone satisfied with results
  • Yes I have heard of Glongoo! Sam King/Dr. Kern is the individual that has put this Scam together! I deposited $25,000 on his assurance that I would be able to get $1 million line of credit from EmpowerCapital for my Real Estate deals. This was in June of 2006 and as of today Aug. 2007 he has my $25,000 and hasn't provided the $1 million line of credit. This whole program is a Scam! Do not invest any of your money with this Con Man!!

  • He has now moved to Leeds and is doing a lot of pushy cold calling of companies. The conversation goes along the lines of "I'm a successful business man, I'm new in town and I found your details in Yellow Pages. I'd really like your company to do work for me."

    He then sets up an appointment at his (???) house - at least it's a residential address where you meet him.

    Does anyone have any more details about him?

    no.none.Why?
  • The Original Ripoff Report Title:
    Dr. Seymour Kern Or Sam King Here is what the website says: "We provide you with access to the Six Essential Missing Links: Credit, Capital and Cash Flow London, England California
    The Original Ripoff Report Text:
    The following is copied and pasted from the web site www.empowercapital.com "Although, there are No Fees to being a member in Empower Capital, Inc., Everyone, however, must come to the table with some small $ change commonly known as Cash Collateral in an effort to Control Much Larger Sums of Capital re Real Estate and Business Acquisitions. This could be anywhere from 40 times to 100�s of times more than your initial input of small change. The following credit limits are initiated by wire in advance of cash collateral deposits as follows: 2.5% ($25,000) per $1,000,000 spending Limit or part thereof 1.0% ($100,000) per $10,000,000 spending Limits or part thereof 0.5% ($500,000) per $100,000,000 spending Limits or part thereof 0.5% ($5,000,000) per $ Billion spending Limits or part thereof. The total Cash Collateral held by the Association is still 2.5% across the board of the entire project regardless of the contract price realized by the time the entire transaction is completed and collected at each phase of funding. All Cash Collateral is totally backed by prime property that is owned by the group of by properties in the process of being acquired for collateral purposes."

    This is a CROCK OF SH.... I wired $25,000 to his B of A account based on his guarantee that I would receive the $1,000,000 spending limit! That was back in June 2006 and guess what to date 3/12/08 I have yet to receive the Spending limit or my money back. If you come across a Dr. Seymour Kern or Sam King run as all he will do is take promise you the moon and take your money and NEVER PRODUCE!! I see Sam has done over his other website www.glongoo.com because it also claimed the same thing that www.empowercapital.com does, see my letter to Sam on Feb. 3, 2008

    Hi Sam I just copied and pasted the pitch from the web site Glongoo.com! Your site says I have been "pre-approved for up to $10,000,000 low interest funding for business and real estate use." The site goes on to say "You would need to provide matching funds of:" 2.5% ($25,000) for $1,000,000 .... "This offer is good for 72 hours. Please advise. On June 14, 2006 I wired $25,000 to your Bank America Account in NY. I am now asking for my $1,000,000 funding!! This is less than your 72 hours that is stated ! You already have my money!!

    This whole thing is nothing but a Scam! He cannot provide you the Capital that he says he can. This guy is a THIEF, CON, FRAUDSTER, EXTORITIONIST AND A LOW LIFE OF THE WORST KIND! Dickmah Sebring, Florida

    Sam rebutted my complaint to Ripoff Report and the following is my response to his rebuttal:
    The Original Ripoff Report Title:
    Seymour Kern; Sam King Extorted by Fraud and Deceit $25,000 Encinitas, CA & London, UK Internet
    The Original Ripoff Report Text:
    Sam King or Seymour Kerns has filed a rebuttal to my complaint! What is interesting in his rebuttal he states that I (Richard Mahan & Jack Bauer are "Registered Extortionists") Sam please if you would please explain how one registers as an extortionist? Plus you do not state what we are extorting from you! You also state "We have more than sufficient written proof kept on file to put them behind bars if these charlatans get totally out of hand." This I would like to see, because the only LIAR, CHARLITIAN, EXTORTIONIST, LOW LIFE IS SEYMOUR KERN/SAM KING!

    For all of you that read this report and you do not know who to believe go to the following web site: (http://www.sdcourt.ca.gov/portal/page?_pageid=55,1056871&_dad=portal&_ schema=PORTAL)

    When you get there do the following:

    Go to Court Index Inquiry Do a Party Name Search Fill in “Civil” for case type

    Fill in “Unknown / All” for location

    Fill in “Defendant” for party type

    Then Kern for last name and Seymour for first name

    The “Leuthold” case is the one with about 23 plaintiffs. This should convince you beyond any doubt that I am not the only one that has been defrauded by this Charlitian, Extortionist, Liar, Fraudster! Its now wonder he has fled to the UK as his past is catching up with him in the USA! For those of you in the UK who are dealing with Sam King/Seymour Kern watch out because all he will do is take your money and produce NOTHING it is called FRAUD!!

    Below is what Sam's rebuttal was to my complaint: Beware the Criminal Activities of Registered Extortionists of Both Richard Mahan and his Bill Collector Jack Bauer On-line: Examples of Damage Caused by Registered Extortionists: Richard and Jack : At 03:17 AM 6/16/2007, Mark Says: Below is a copy of the Rip off report found through a google search from a customer VERY unhappy with your services ! Whatever the reason is, it does not matter. The names glongoo, empower capital, Sam King and Dr. Kern have all been tarnished through a google search, regards, Mark Reply from GLONGOO.COM, et al. Hi Mark: We are well aware of Registered Extortionists: Richard Manhan and his associate Jack Bauer (probaby a fictitious name) whose devious antics are no doubt tantamount to criminal extortion. We have more than sufficient written proof kept on file to put them behind bars if these charlatans get totally out of hand. Dickmah Sebring, Florida
