Complaint Review: ana bourne - south lake tahoe area possibly Nevada

Ana Bourne Possible Ana Torres (Could be an alias)

May or may not have a partner named "JASON" who may also use these last names.

Advance Fee Loan scam....look it up on wikipedia

Stolen Almost 1 Million dollars in advance loan commitment fees.  She has a partner. She keeps sending phoney receipts for wire transfers that never happen. I strongly suspect these are all forgeries and fakes. We have literally dozens of pages of contracts and amendments to contracts etc that are all forgeries of the real investors name. The FBI has asked us to participate in the investigation by providing them with this evidence as well as many recorded voice calls. (we started recording our conversations when we realized it was a scam). We do not want to become involved with the FBI and to have to testify and really just want our money back.

The FBI says there are several complaints that they are impersonating a well known and well respected businesman who is promising to fund a large project for us. This is "Criminal Impersonation"  We have been told, given the amount of money involved and the number of separate counts of impersonation and forgery that this would easily get her 10-15 years in prison. We have informed her of this yet she seems to have no intention of returning the money despite the FBI asking us to assist in an investigation.  

The strangest thing is that she continues to keep in touch saying she is working to get us the money back. She has even provided (probably another fake, document showing that she has cashed in some of her stocks to pay us back) Still excuses for delays, and delays. 

I think she is not just a scammer but probably an antisocial pathological liar and maybe even unable to control her own lying. I believe she gets off on lying to others and that it gives her some kind of rush, even a feeling of superior intelligence believing that she is so smart, others are buying her lies. 

From Wikipedia

There are many consequences of being a pathological liar. If this continues to progress, lying could become so severe as to cause legal problems, including, but not limited to, fraud.[9]

I think this must be the reason she keeps leading us on that we will get our money back??? When it seems to me that she has no intention of doing this but seems to be simply enjoying the game.

Well the ripple effect of this game has been huge. She did not rip off some rich business or rich business person. My two partners and myself spent a year and a half working on this project.  Pretty much the retirement and life savings of 3 hardworking families went into this. We are all massively in debt now and just struggling to pay the bills. One of my partners is literally looking at losing his home. My wife is selling our things online. We are laying people off at our small business, the bank is on us, the mortgage holder of our business property is on us, our building contractors can't pay themselves or their employees either. 

If anyone has any information they would like to share about Global Alliance Ventures and the Ana Torres or Ana Bourne scammers please reply here and share that information so we all might prepare for where she might strike next. I would love to know where she is at this moment, just so I could sincerely express to her face to face, the damage that she has caused. 

Thank you for sharing your stories and information.

Sincerely,
