1 the products from a retail store. One of the many products offered by Global Verge is pre-paid
2 wireless mobile telecommunication services.
12.
All Wireless is a service provider for pre-paid wireless mobile
4 telecommunication services.
5
13.
Defendant Greco is not nor has ever been an owner, agent or affiliate of All
6 Wireless.
7 THE FRAUDULENT AGREEMENT
8
14.
On or about November 15, 2009, Global Verge contracted with, what it believed
9 to be, All Wireless (the "Fraudulent Service Agreement"). A true and correct copy of the
10 Fraudulent Service Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
1 1
15.
The Fraudulent Service Agreement was presented to Global Verge by Defendant
12 Greco who represented that he was an owner of All Wireless.
16. The Fraudulent Service Agreement was executed by Defendant Greco who
13 14 15 16 17 18 19
represented therein that he was an owner of All Wireless.
17. In reliance upon the Fraudulent Service Agreement, Global Verge made payments
in the sum of $123,000.00 into what it believed to be an All Wireless account at Southern
Commerce Bank and payments in the sum of $51,650.00 to an account Global Verge has since
learned was controlled by Defendant AKW.
18.
In reliance upon Section 13 of the Fraudulent Service Agreement, Global Verge
20 allowed Greco access to its confidential and proprietary information which included, among
21 other things, its client lists and contact information.
22
19.
Despite receipt of the foregoing payments, Defendant Greco failed to provide all
23 services under the Fraudulent Service Agreement.
24 THE FRAUDULENT ACCOUNT
25
20.
In or around November 2009, Defendant Greco individually and/or through
26 Defendant AK W opened an account at Southern Commerce Bank under the name All Wireless
27 Services Inc. without the approval or authorization of All Wireless (the "Fraudulent Account").
28
Page 3 of 17
1
21.
Defendant Greco directed Global Verge to deposit its payments under the
2 Fraudulent Service Agreement into the Fraudulent Account.
3
22.
Global Verge made payments to in the sum of $123,000.00 into the Fraudulent
4 Account.
5 6
23.
Defendant Greco withdrew all funds out of the Fraudulent Account.
24.
During the month of December 2009 alone, Greco wrote checks to himself or
7 made payable to "CASH" in the sum of $55,200.00.
8 ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUDULENT LITIGATION'
9
25.
When it was discovered that Greco had opened the Fraudulent Account and
10 entered into the Fraudulent Service Agreement, Global Verge demanded, among other things,
11 that he return its payments.
12 13 14 15 16 17 18
26.
Rather than return the ill-gotten funds, Greco used Global Verge's confidential
and proprietary information against it by sending out mass emails to Global Verge's clients with
allegations that a lawsuit had been filed by AK W against Global Verge for "full disclosure"
indicating that Global Verge was instable and unable to continue conducting business. In
support of his allegations, Greco attached a copy of a Civil Cover Sheet from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Fraudulent Civil Cover Sheet"). A
true and correct copy of an email sent out by Greco with the enclosed Fraudulent Civil Cover
19 Sheet is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.
20
27.
Upon information and belief, Greco downloaded a form civil cover sheet
21 available to the public from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
22 York's website and filled it in with false information. 1
23
28.
On the Fraudulent Civil Cover Sheet, Greco identified the attorney of record for
24 AKW as "Max Weinberg" of the law firm of "Weinberg Kohler and (sic) associates".
25
29.
A search of licensed attorneys in New York evidences that there is no Max
26 Weinberg nor law firm of Weinberg Kohler and Associates.
