Andrea Smith Redeaux approached me in 2013 with a program that would provide my company with Project Funding for the next five years and a guaranteed investment fund for my business. I sent her my business plan, financials, budget of expenses for the funding and 5 year projections on October 15th, 2013. I then flew to her office in Oakland California at 1200 Clay St. She then proceeded to tell me I needed to file new incorporation papers and get a new Tax ID. She stated that to receive the project funding in November 2013 I would need to pay a fee of $2600.00. After a few delay in her funding timeline I submitted the $2600 and we entered into a contract for a specific amount that I was to receive. I have, in writing and in signed agreement, that the $2600 fee that I paid was for the transfer of the project funding grant to be completed on November 4th. After months of back and forth Andrea gave excuse after excuse that the bank (Comerica) was delaying the funds due to the amount. When I contacted the Vice President COMERICA, she stated this was not the case and no investment account attached to any name or business of Andrea Smith Redeaux existed. I consulted Andrea about entering into specific deal and she wrote false promissory notes and funding guarantee letters for me to enter into contracts with then once the funds became due, she began making up additional lies about international laws, grants, IRS etc – none of which were true after I did additional research.
After months of emails and texting, she had her then CFO/COO contact me regarding my file stating that I owed an additional 7600 that must be paid. They stated and gave false documents that stated the fund was going to begin disbursement beginning May 2015. I quickly worked to come up with the balance as I had invested many hours, money in travel, attorney fees and project set up fees and needed the grant money for my business to cover those expenses.
After an additional year and half and filing a lawsuit and complaint with the Department of Oversight, Andrea finally told me that the funders weren’t going to be completing this project and she was now working with a hedge fund of 100 million dollars. She was also opening up an investment bank. She asked me to send her an additional $2000.00 to help with the $29,000 fee it would take to complete. I researched and spoke to the investment banker who confirmed the ability to open the account and the fee however once I submitted this amount to Andrea she never sent in the funds. I contacted every investor, hedge fund director, administrator and bank that she stated she was working with and ALL OF THEM state they would not do business with her because she lied, scammed and wasted their time. She never had or has an investment bank, a funding portal or access to a hedge fund.After doing my research and stating that I was flying to California to meet her, she changed her story that she was scammed out of the money by the investors and her CFO – who I spoke to and denies it. Andrea has stolen money through fees and fake paperwork from churches, individuals and even falsified documents of a terminally ill person until the family threatened to sue and have her arrested. All of her contracts, paperwork and ‘business plans’ are taken from the internet and others and she doesn’t have any capital of her own. She even used my name with a hedge Fund manager in new York to state I was an investor when in fact she had stolen money from me. She has now refused to answer phone calls and text messages and was evicted from the home she lived in because she provide false documents to obtain the home and it went into foreclosure. In May, after taking over $12,400 in cash from me, plus travel, hotel, attorney fees and deposits that have been lost, she emailed stating that she would not be funding anyone and to take our business elsewhere however she is not returning any of the money. Additionally she borrowed $1500 from a colleague of mine and refuses to pay him back since January and text him that I misrepresented the loan to her.
She used family deaths, car accidents and family surgeries as lies to get out of meeting with me and other clients. On several occasions I flew to Oakland to meet with her and she pretended to be out of town, one time I even exposed that she was lying as she said she was in an airport in texas when in reality she was in Oakland. This is not a business deal gone wrong, this is a calculated, orchestrated fraud scheme to con hundreds of small business owners our of thousands of dollars. She has no intention of ever providing the services she states when she takes your money.
I have now been in contact and working with the department of Justice Financial Fraud division, the Internal Revenue Service, The FBI for mail and wire fraud and the Department of Oversight for the State of California to create a class action lawsuit against Andrea Smith, her family that is involved and all business entities that she fraudulently uses as a cover for her illegal activity. I am writing this open letter to anyone who has been directly or indirectly affected by her and would like access to the resources I am compiling to bring her to justice. Additionally, I hope that anyone thinking of doing business with her will read this and do your research. She will not follow through on any of the loans, project funds or grants and will charge you fees then disappear. She uses her religion as a mask to lie, steal and commit felonies. Please note that having monies wired into other peoples accounts using non-existent deal contracts and lies Is a federal crime called mail and wire fraud. Not only will she face civil judgements from all of the lawsuits but the federal government can and will be filing charges. The more of us that provide documentation of her false representations – the stronger the case will be and ultimately the longer the punishment.
I have over 287 emails, thousands of text messages and recorded phone calls and meetings to verify and substantiate all of my claims. All evidence has been turned over to the authorities for verification and the building of the case against her. If you would like to be part of this case or provide your story with facts and evidence attached please contact me. Thank you.
