Ten Southern Arizona firms were among the inaugural 50 Companies to Watch in Arizona for 2006 honored in ceremonies Thursday night (June 1) at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix.
The list was compiled by the Edward Lowe Foundation, a not-for-profit operating foundation, to recognize second-stage companies that are critical, but often overlooked, drivers of the state’s economy. They are past the start-up phase; are generally concerned with issues of growth, not survival and have not yet become large corporations. The event was hosted by the Arizona Small Business Association.

This is an advanced fee scam. I have all documentation on file for your verification if requested. This person has stolen $1,681USD from us on the promise that the loan would be transferred immediatley to our bank account. We are 30 days later and still haven't seen a penny. She just keeps demanding more money. The last fee is called "anti-terrorism" fee for an anti-terrorism certificate. After further investigation we found this:
The European Commission does not require such an Anti-Terrorist Certificate nor does it request fees in association with the international transfer of funds. There is no "Commission Patriot Act of London, July 2005 (Public Law 313)" nor any similar Act, Law, Regulation or Directive.
Please remove her ad before others have their money stolen from them as well.
Thank you,
