Mentor

[Tejuan Nickelson]

Has anyone heard of or know of Darnell Cooley. I've been offered his assistance in getting my Real Estate Investor career going. I'm asking bc I do have to pay him and don't want to be scammed.

Hmmm. let me google that for you...

Second result:

BEWARE of a local real estate "mentor" who offers his coaching services. Goes by the name Darnell Cooley and is located in Elk Grove. He leases an office space at Douglas Blvd. in Roseville but moves around.

What's the purpose of this message? To warn anyone who might be fooled into his "coaching" program and hand him their hard earned money. He talks BIG, makes huge claims of success and posts fake pictures of checks and travels claiming he is closing huge deals.

He is a liar and a cheat, will take your money and run for the hills with it once discovered. Take it from someone who experienced it first hand. I don't want to see any locals wanting to learn real estate being taken advantage of.

Here is just an example of some of his lies. An attached picture of a copy of a check he claims from closing a wholesale deal. Some simple due diligence will show the routing number is fake and not linked to any bank, and a simple lookup on California's secretary of state website will reveal the LLC the check is made out to was suspended long ago. A further look into the LLC shows he has nothing to do with its formation in the first place.
