Seeking Victims of Phil Capolongo and Equitex Venture Group

long-time scam artist based in NY who collects fees for diligence, signs contracts to commit to funding and then vanishes. more than 30 victims identified already. seeking others to speak to New York DA's office. Please have them email gilletto@dany.nyc.gov. Thank you to anyone who can help!

It would be nice to be paid back for the $1700.00 which I had lent him back in 1998.
So much for a gentlemans handshake!

Philip Capolongos E-mail is pcap@thefortiusgroup.com and he is on Facebook.com
He Has Stolen 100,000 From us with Identity theft When We dont even have 1,000 in the bank.

I too have been scammed by Phil. He took $5000 from me with a promissory note saying he would return 25% to me in two weeks. It is now a year and a half later. I have taken him to civil court and won but he still hasn't paid. I have spoken with the Assistant DA and she said there is nothing they can do until more recent people step up and share their stories. This man is guilty of Fraud and Larceny. Let's show a unified front here and see this man convicted.

This is so bogus it is not even funny. It is written by someone related to my son who has not the courage to even call me directly. I will not even dignify this with a response it is totally untrue....

As our attorneys are now settling this note you will have made almost 60% in a one year four month period which is usurious. We will handle this slander legally... The only thing unethical is the interest we paid you which is above the NY State Legal limit....

Actually you are receiving $8000 for $5000 in one year and four months...under NY State law that is over the legitimate usury return......as we have told you in direct conversation our legal counsel is handling that directly....continue to slander me and us and we will take appropriate legal action....

Phil,
Tell the truth you scammed me 100%, I even had to fork over the rent you never paid becasue your coporate checks BOUNCED!

Anyone who is named Factman and who is not identifying himself is a coward....call our office at any time and we will be glad to provide proper information on everything. Being that you have to hide behind an alias, you are not a real person...By the way our address has been knowledge for years and no one has called or visited.....You are a coward and incorrect....

Phil Capolongo is a liar and commits fraud regularly. He enters into agreements to fund projects which never get funded. He "borrows" sums "just to get him through to next week" which are never repaid. I invite him to initiate a lawsuit against me for slander -- remember Phil, truth is an absolute defense. And by the way Phil, where is the $84,000 that you owe me -- plus interest.

Philip the "scam artist" Capolongo is at it again I see. For those of you that are new to this, He has NEVER paid back anyone that he has borrowed, stole money from. There are more than 30 victims that the current DA has on file but unfortunately, we need new victims to come forward. We will get this guy as long as I am still alive. I will never stop! Please reach out to other chat rooms to find other victims of the man they are out there!

Let's not forget that you were convicted of Larceny 1 in the state of CT back in 1998 sentenced to 5 years probation which you violated and was assessed a $10,000 fine. This is of public record and you cannot deny it. You can say it was a false conviction but no appeal was ever filed and your record was never expunged.

Hello, I have been scammed by P. Capolongo to the tune of $17K. He has now owed me this money for 3 years. If you know him, then you know his deal, which is false hoods, lies, stalling, bullshit, and massive fantasy delussional fabrications-I wonder if you have any knowledge on how to extract funds from this retile? Thank you

Anyone have any idea how to extract funds from this person that walks the earth freely without any repercussions?

Any advice-any-would be greatly appreciated.

He is a piece of shit liar. Now his emails bounce back. Nothing he says is true. Nothing. Every word uttered frm his mouth is absolute fabrication. He is adeluded and demented and spiteful arrogant soul.
