This is an actual e-mail sent from John Cantu to my frineds that also have investments with him that supposedly were due in October:
I asked for a truce for 10 days...you said NO and continued your campaign of irreversible damage. And yet I have continued to work to get you your funds...I have never said I wouldn't get you your money, am working to get past the unacceptable delay and I have not participated in your vulgar, threatening text and email campaign...again you will get your funds asap despite whether you stop or not. The delay has caused you and yours heartache and worry and what you have done maliciously to me and my family can NOT be undone either...so I will continue to work to RESOLVE our issues asap no matter what you continue to do.

1) The problem with this is John did say he wasn't going to pay us. I was there when he said it. He specifically stated that he couldn't pay anyone if he was in jail and that we should not press the matter any further. It should be noted that he has not paid anyone a cent.
2) He and his wife are not working with anyone to get anything. He won't return calls or messages and olny answers if threatened. Marissa will simply promise to take your name and number and have her dear husband give you a call. It'll never happen, me and my widfe have both been there. They just want you out of the way as quickly as possible.
3) and probably the best laugh here is the comment about the irreversable damage done to his family. Let me fill you in, his children go to private elementary school. I have to tell mine that he either has to drop of of college for a year or get a full time job to pay for it because the Cantu's have stolen his college money.
4) I don't think John and Marissa have any clue what the term ASAP means. These debts have been over due for months. I mean what was promised as a six week investment has not been paid in over 16 weeks. Oh, he was off the mark by just a little bit there.
5) This simply shows that lack of compassion that John and Marissa have for the people they steal from. They are only worried about the accusations leveled against them and have no concerns about the hardships that they have created for others.

Other Tidbit's about the Canuu's past
John was working for a mortgage company based out of Santa Ana that was sanctioned by the State of California for illegal activities. I'll post the site later but the few comments have Cantu written all over it.
The brokers at the firm were taking money from people to supposedly help them with loan modifications and then not contacting the lenders or the homeowners and letting the property fall into foreclosure, very nice. These people are the lowest form of criminals around.
There were other brokers and the owner of this business sanctioned by the State, some of which may still be doing business with John and Marissa. If you would like the State documents detailing the sanctions and people involved I can forward them to you at your request as well as the website information or the mortgage company.

Orange Police Deparetment Update
I'll be checking back with the Orange Police Department this week regarding the case progress. I still find it very disturbing that they have not yet elevated this case to a higher level. The total number of victims and dollars lost to date warrant a quicker action against John and Marissa Cantu to prevent losses to others.
According to John Cantu himself he has been operating out of San Diego, Ventura and San Bernardino Counties for the past several months.

District Attorney Action
If any of you have been following the Orange County District Attourney's actions against the couple (husband and wife) in the South County take heart. This couple were both found guilty of the same type of fraud John and Marissa are conducting. Funny but reading the article it sounded like this guy could have been John Cantu himself, apologizing for the mistake, saying he never intended to take the money and he asked the court for lieniency for the sake of his children.
I don't think the judge was buying any of it with the over 40 families that gave victim impact statements detailing the financial hardships, lost retirements and broken families this couple caused. Stay tuned the sentenacing is scheduled for January. We are trying to set up a meeting with the same representative of the DA's office that prosecuted this casue to take up the John and Marissa Cantu case with the same results expected.
Other avenues that are currently being persued are an intervivew with the Securities and Excange Commission (SEC) regarding the investment side of the scam and the FBI. The FBI, Treasury Department and the SEC have just created a task force specifically to deal with Mortgage related scams like the one being conducted by the Cantu's.

Latest Broken Promises
John promised to pay another couple at least part of the $20K he owed them last week after they had given him the additional 10 days he asked for. What happened you ask? Same old, same old, on the 10th day he was really sorry that he still couldn't come up with the money as promised.
John mentioned that he was going to go by and talk to the Detective from the Orange Police Department and get this misunderstanding all cleared up. Never happened! I hate to break it to him but this won't be cleared up until the people John and Marisa stole money from have it returned, and I think we all know that isn't going to happen.
John mentioned that he was disturbed by the tone of messages being left for him and Marissa and that was why he wasn't being cooperative. Although he did mention that it was inexcusable that the alledged investments were being delayed so long. (As of next Monday John and Marisa will have the entire $30K that they owe me and my wife due, along with the supposed income and we have yet to see a dime from the October 7the note or the November 14th note. I'm not holding my breath for next week.

Cantu just doesn't believe
My friend and I confronted John Cantu again the other night, we were serving a suponea to appear in court (I am bound and deterimed to get this guy arrested fro fraud).
It is amazing to me though that the only comment that John Cantu made was that I should drop the case. His reasoning was that if he was in jail that I would never collect. I thought this was so ridiculous I almost busted out laughing. Here's a guy that stole $30K from me and much more from others and hasn't yet paid back a single dime to anyone I know. Yet he has the nerve to stand in front of me and basically tell me it is best for everyone if I don't sue him or have him arrested so that he can go on stealing from others, on the hope that he will give me some of money he gets out of scamming others. Him and hjis wife are living on the fact that they don't believe that people will report them to the police or file civil suits against them as long as they give you a little hope that eventually you will get your money back.
Well it isn't going to happen. We have looked and there isn't one person that I have found out of all the people that they have stolen from that have received anything back. If they have taken anything from you please file a report with the Orange Police Department, you won't get anything back from John and Marissa that is for sure.
