I was referred to Fund & Grow by a podcast hosted by Clayton Morris.I started following up after three months of non-performance on the part of Clayton, Morris Invest and any and all of his agents and contacts...including a personal phone call by my son to Clayton's personal residence when he spoke personally with Natali Morris with a personal assurance that she would have Clayton contact me with information about an "ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT" that I expected from him because he allegedly was only the SALES AGENT..which would, at least, give me an additional avenue of pursuit for performance of duty.Never got word back from them beyond that on the requested Assignment of Contract.2.
