Will the real Chris Ambrosia please stand up?
Which alias name will he be using today?
Chris Ambrosia
Leroy Castine
J. Costine
J. Cestine, Lee Cestine
J. Custine
Lee Castine has a criminal record-
Ambrosia Web Design’s (AWD) collection of “affiliate companies”

Ambrosia Web Design, LLC 2906 S Revere Circle, Mesa, AZ 85210, 888,-583-1956, 888-654-2988, 480-703-5818

AFB, LLC (website recently disappeared) 3021 S Woodruff, Mesa, AZ 85212,  800-525-2956, 602-620-1460

Concord Financial Advisors, LLC 123 Baseline Rd, D208, Tempe, AZ 85283 888-583-1956, 888-654-2988, 800-525-2956, 602-620-1460, 480-703-5818, 480-981-0138.

CAM Services, LLC (foreign for profit shell company) 1219 N Rosemont, Mesa, AZ 85205, P.O. Box21106, Mesa, 85277, 1000 E William St #204, Carson City, NV 89701, 888-583-1956

So, which one has the “business address”  that was a vacant dirt lot?

Even after reported as using several alias names- “Leroy Castine, Chris Ambrosia, Lee Cestine”, AWD continues to operate and “Rachel-robo-call“.
Just take a look at the available online AZ Sec of State scanned documents. Forms are filled out in the same handwriting!
“Ambrosia” must have forgotten how he signed AFB LLC- “Leroy Castine”,  and Concord Financial Advisors, LLC- Lee Cestine”.
Signatures are the same!!
AWD’s “Chris Ambrosia” is signed a little different, but the handwriting is the same!!
Isn’t that a Felony FRAUD?!?   It certainly is from the American Consumer standpoint!!

            Are you really expecting anybody to feel sorry for you? Even assuming you are one of the "poor unfortunate" souls that are no longer working for criminals, I have no sympathy for you. You actually sound more like one of the spanked principals.

            Your comically poor typing suggests that you are trying to masquerade as a semi-literate, sympathetic, hard-working-but-down-on-your-luck provider for a gaggle of nearly-starved, doe-eyed ragamuffins.

            OK, assume you are what you claim to be- you *had* to know at some point that your employers were criminal scum that skirted the laws at every turn. Once you realized that, you became one of them and deserve to be in prison, not just out of a job.

            And yeah, I fully expect to hear from Rachel again..there are too many skanky sun-baked strip mall storefronts and an equal number of slimy, greasy, hairy-backed, overly tanned, pinky-ring-wearing, "legitimate businessmen" willing to take over where these a**clowns left off.

              My poor typing was the result of doing it via a cell phone.
              Thank You.

              So , did ya follow along ?
              An 8 million dollar lawsuit suspended.
              Turns out the only actual wrong doing, was running other companies deals through their merchant account, aka money laundering. Which, no, I knew nothing about.

              What is actually is astounding  to me, is bum's, pan-handling, loitering, and people's side comment .....why don't you get a job

              Well rather than mooch of the system's food stamps, welfare, I took a crappy telemarketing job.  Court proved, no customer's money or information was compromised or used fraudulently. by Western GPS.

              There were and still are those actual rip off scam "boiler rooms" being shut down. Look at the list of what the end result was, the actual charges. Buying, Selling customer information, starting up getting as many cards as possible then shutting down, using the customer information to furnish their lifestyle. There are your crooks.

              Hell no, I didn't want any sympathy from you, I just figured that , I don't know, there was a bit of decency for your fellow human being  who did a job because I'm not a low life, I did what I had to do to survive. And that I'm an honest person, and that you were going melodramatic about a company who violated 2 laws, and only 1 effected you. Initiating a solicitation by the use of a automated message.

              While more time could be spent locating the people that actually stole information, swore and disrespected people's request to do not call, swindled money using false representation(not even using their real names), and even when the customer said no ... charged up their credit card and disconnected their phone.

              No, I'm not a sales person, or telemarketer by trade or choice. That was a one time gig. I am actually 20 credits from an AA in Business, have a slew of management experience and own my own business as a concert promoter.

              Your phone is still ringing.....

              and it will continue to do so.

              Donations, Credit Cards, Weight Loss, Vacation, or someone claiming to be your relative in another country's jail needing money.

              Like I said, I agree with the [***] calls and lying to people being wrong and needing to be shut down.. That's why I stand behind what I said prior, be a smart consumer. Ask questions, it's your money, you have the right to answers, a liar....will hang up .. or pause before they answer, or be so programmed  and salesman sly they will tip toe around it.

              Someone with nothing to hide, will offer it up with no problem.

              to those I called, I gave my real name. I'm not being sued, I'm not in jail. It's a crappy job, it annoys people, but yeah, you gotta eat.

              but I'll remember to offer up your information sir to someone who's down and out with no job about ready to lower their head and apply for a telemarketing job. I'll let that person how you don't want to be annoyed, and you'd rather foot the bill in the form of your tax paying dollars, so rather than work a phone sales job for a couple months and get back on his feet he can sit on his fat lazy ass mooching off the system because you can't ignore an unknown call that appears on your caller Id..

                Well, well, well, what do we have here? A Western GPS fronter circus clown,
                Of course, Consumers, you gotta love this line of baloney;

                “and that you were going melodramatic about a company who violated 2 laws, and only 1 effected you. Initiating a solicitation by the use of a automated message.”

                What Mr. L.I. Boiler-room pigeon is describing is aiding and abetting violating TCPA, TSR and the RICO Act-
                Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act U.S.C. Title 18, Chapter 96 § 1962:

                Sections 891-894 (relating to extortionate credit transactions), section 1028 (relating to fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents), section 1029 (relating to fraud and related activity in connection with access devices),”
                Section 1 of Pub. L. 91-452 provided in part that: "The Congress finds that (1) organized crime in the United States is a highly sophisticated, diversified, and widespread activity that annually drains billions of dollars from America's economy by unlawful conduct and the illegal use of force, fraud, and corruption;
                FCC CFR Title 47 Chapter 5, § 227
                PART 64, Subpart L-
                Restrictions on Telemarketing, Telephone Solicitation, and Facsimile Advertising

                 (1) Written policy. Persons or entities making calls for telemarketing purposes must
                have a written policy, available upon demand, for maintaining a do-not-call list.
                 (2) Training of personnel engaged in telemarketing. Personnel engaged in any aspect of
                telemarketing must be informed and trained in the existence and use of the do-not-call
                list.
                Consumers have suffered and will continue to suffer substantial injury as a result of violations of the FTC Act and the TSR. In addition, Telemarketing criminals have been unjustly enriched as a result of their unlawful acts and practices. Absent injunctive relief by the Courts to impose felony charges and prison time, the criminals are likely to continue to injure Consumers, reap unjust enrichment, and harm the public interest.

                And we’re not done reporting on this yet, (going on all the anti-scum-telemarketer sites!)

                Case 2:12-cv-02248-FJM, Filed 10/29/12 (page 15-16)

                “Mr. Castine has been versatile in finding and providing access to merchant
                accounts. From approximately June 2011 through November 2011, under the names of
                AFB and Concord, he ran charges through the AWD and CAM Services merchant
                accounts arranged by Ambrosia. But, in November 2011, AWD’s merchant account was
                shut down and shortly thereafter the CAM Services account was also closed. This left
                Western GPS with no way to conduct business and it actually ceased operations for several weeks as it scrambled to find a vehicle to process consumer payments.
                GPS found a temporary solution through Mr. Wayne Norris, owner of two Florida
                entities involved in similar interest rate telemarketing ventures – W&M Enterprises (“W&M”) and WM&T Enterprises (“WM&T”). Both were formed in February, 2012 and promptly secured merchant accounts which Mr. Norris made available to Western GPS. From approximately February, 2012 through April, 2012, Western GPS ran their charges
                through these merchant accounts, paying a 37% fee for the privilege.”

                Now, go cry me a river, loser telemarketer.

            I'm just a poor ignorant uneducated country boy from backwoods Wisconsin who has received more than 350 calls from you scum sucking criminals. Obviously I am not as uneducated as you are (nor as ignorant). There are jobs out there that aren't illegal, go scrub toilets (a lot more sanitary than what you were doing). After hearing thousands of complaints about your services charging innocent people in desperate need of relief only to be ripped off by your 30 people I can not feel any sympathy or even humanity for you scum sucking bottom feeders.

            Who cares you lost your job. Maybe you should go back to school and learn how to spell. You are a thief and you are working for thieves. You are considered a accessory to a crime by calling people and swindling them out of their charge accounts. You take advantage of people and that is illegal in this country. Go work at Mc Donald's if you want to feed your kids. I will be tracing this post you made and the police, FCC as well as the FTC and FBI will be picking up too as you have posted that you have worked for and participated in illegal activity. See how your kids eat now

      “past employee”- Wonder if your one of the many “live operators” we have recorded, some posted on youtube.
      And, NO, we did not fall for the scam, but are among the millions of Consumers that have been relentlessly abused, threatened, and harassed by your former crime boss’ robo-calls. We want Felony charges and prison time for violating TCPA, TSR and RICO-  Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
      We know about some of Ambrosia and Castine’s criminal “business associates”.
      Florida Robo-cardholder service dialers- WM&T Enterprises is discussed in an FTC receiver document. The link seems to have mysteriously disappeared from FTC the page-  http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/1223174/

      Before the connection between AWD and WM&T was established, Consumers had an online discussion with WM&T’s Marc Sommers.
      https://complaintwire.org/complaint/LVFYS9_SI ... -800-273-3214/2

      Wayne Norris said he’s on the side of the Consumer, in another discussion. With all those supposedly “on our side”, including the FTC’s little “slap on the wrist” lawsuits, Consumers have little chance for JUSTICE, except to keep reporting this organized crime.

    Just a Thought
    They have been calling me for so long that Rachel must be on social security by now or dead  / I have learned not to answer the phone anymore , just delete the message at the intro , crime pays I guess ,some people just get off by ripping someone off , they celebrate it  , their proud of it , the authorities could do something but there are more important  things  . Suggestion stop answering your phone or get a call blocker , of course since they use phone spoofing , you will probably run out of memory before they run out of numbers.They  read your comments all over the net , it is a joke to them. You could cancel your phone service . Phone is ringing again ah it is  Windows Technical Support ,who knew, calling from West Bengal . Just take the red pill. Expect Us
