Billing ScamThis is the big one folks. The scammer will tell you that waiting for payments is unrealistic and you should be paid right away. They will offer to help you with this. When they sign up a client they will get advance payment. Of course what they don't tell you is you will be lucky to see 25% of that money. DO NOT LET ANYONE OTHER THAN A LICENSED COLLECTION AGENCY COLLECT FUNDS FOR YOUR BUSINESS.Scammers offer to take credit card payments for you as that is quicker. Trust me folks wait for Canada Post to deliver the check. It may take a few weeks but at least you will get it and can put it in your bank account and not the scammer's vacation fund.The scammer will also try for access to your bank account. NOPE NO DA NADA - ABSOLUTELY FRIGGING NOT. No one other than you or the accounting person you assign should ever ever have access to your bank account. You will be very poor and indebt very fast if you allow this.One question I was asked is how do you stop scammers from getting funds from your clients that you aren't aware of. Yup that is right they are collecting for extra stuff from your clients and pocketing all the money and you have no clue about. They get rich and you get poor.One of the easiest and most effective ways to stop a scammer is:Send a welcome letter to all clients. Yup that easy and that simple. In the letter put in about where all billing is to be sent and introduce yourself and make sure your email, phone number and extension number are on the letter and state clearly that you are the person to contact and that all payments are to be made out to your company and sent to your office address.Sounds simple doesn't it but it's not - you have to be on your toes. These scammers have been doing this for years and years and years and are never caught and never charged. There is a reason for this. Most companies are too embarrassed to admit they have been scammed so the scammer just keeps right on doing it.The average company is scammed for between $25000 and $500000.these guys are pros - it is how they live the high life and as far as they are concerned they are doing nothing wrong. It is just business.Of course you are out of business but they are in Marthas Vineyard sampling wine and don't give a damn about you.

Wow, I looked up Alan Fine as I'd gotten his name from I believe a China Rose some time ago and was looking for some web work that I've since gotten done elsewhere but I'm not only glad I found this site but very surprised by the comments.Not in a bad way, but in a glad way, I didn't get a good feeling at the presentation but I think it may have been Peter (heavy set man, moustache and seemed to know very little about online development). At anyrate, I'm not here to post any harshness, only my encounter with their group and I wasn't comfortable and glad I did not go ahead with either one of them.Thank goodness for details like what is here, it was going to cost me $2500 if memory serves so thank you all for your insight.Geniveve

Just had to respond to all these b***s*** lies about me. I have never Scammed any one out there, I cant speak about PETER SINGLETON or Ryan Soper, just myself.
I have never had any dealing with anyone named Marlene Henson or Tyler Marshall in Calgary. Search for their names and you wont find them , because its a bunch of made up BS.

Anyone who has a problem with me is free to contact me and I will fix it, always have always will.

Lets see if the posters of the lies have any balls to put their contact info above so we can verify that any of what they say is true ( $1000 say they don't)

Interesting how this company makes out his guys are heroes and saved the day. 10-106 security lost this contract days after the incident, mmmm funny how ryan doe not indicate what went wrong. They also lost a number of other bars they do as a result of this incident. In addition they had ibex which is a stone throw away from blue diamond which was shut down by algc because they went in their to find the 10-106 security staff were not licensed and shut down ibex. 10-106 security is a liability and anyone using them or is thinking of hiring them may want to rethink the liability this company will bring. 10-106 = liability.

Alan,I suggest you stop posting such comments, you are only serving yourself up further on a platter for all to see publicly.  I don't know you or anyone else on this forum, but i did meet Peter only once and that is all it took as my intuition told me this is a person of little or no conscience what so ever.As for you, simply prove yourself the better person by either not having anything to do with Peter Singleton or his business and build your reputation based on your own results.I wish you well and success if you earn it the right way.Very bestMichael

I noticed 10-106 security has committed identity theft by lowering themselves to link another security companies web site to theirs.  WOW how low can you get. So basically if you log onto this www.secureprotection.ca you get this crap 10-106 security site. I learned that company changed there address to www.secureprotection.co so if you want a security company that is honest and does not commit identity theft and fraud call those guys. 10-16 security scam scam.
