Marcus Davin and Cobalt Funding

I get calls and emails weekly about Cobalt Funding and Partners Capital Group, and Marcus Davin ... amazing that he still gets away with stealing from small business people.  


Here is my best advice.  


1.  If you are out of state, file a written complaint with the FBI , Fax it to :Agent Paul Bonin  714-245-5394

2. File a complaint with the Orange County Sheriff's Department Phone 714-647-7040

3. File a complaint with the the Better Business Bureau Better Business Bureau    Marcus Davin changed the name of the company from Benchmark to Cobalt .. probably because Benchmark has an F rating ..   and over  80 complaints ... now there is only one complaint on Cobalt and it says that it has been resolved ..

Hard to believe that the person who filed the complaint wrote:  "I have received full refund and am 100% satisfied with Cobalt . Loan did get approved and Cobalt is ready to fund Marcus Davin was a true professional."  

Has this been your experience with Marcus and Cobalt .. Benchmark ... a professional crook maybe ... 

Marcus Davin is now Cobalt ..got this today

It is hard for me to keep up.. But I take ever telephone call from victims and answer every email and there are many. Today I got two.

First was a call from a lady from Ohio who was about to get ripped off by Marcus Davin for about $10,000. The vendor did some checking ... Googled Cobalt Funding read m y blog and hopefully she got to the bank quick enough to stop the transaction .

Marcus Davin and his minions tell customers to fill out the paperwork, prepare a check for first, last and fees, fax both .. And then they take the numbers off the faxed check and take the money... That's it... Then deal changes... And the victim does not get their money back.. That is it hundreds if not thousands of times by now.

Don't worry about a thing. Marcus Davin Et el are alleged crooks.. And they will go to prison when proven guilty in criminal court.

Here is the second contact that I received today....

I haven't seen any updates to your site regarding Benchmark Financial. I am in the same Ofice Complex as Marcus and his company. They have definitely changed their name to Cobalt Funding. They moved from 65 Enterprise to 75 Enterprise (the building next door). He has removed all signs for his office as well as his parking space. Just thought I'd update you on this slime.

He can change his location, his name, his hair color ..... But he can't change the fact that he is a crook .... I want to see Marcus in Court ...

Partners Capital - The New Benchmark for Fraud?

When you do contact me, please in a one page email, tell us who, what, where and when and how much that you have gotten stung for. I will also need your contact info.

I will protect your identity on this blog if you wish.

We are being contacted by so many victims that it is difficult to respond to each and every one.

Also .. please find information about the trials of Marcus Davin and Benchmark by going to the Orange County Superior Court web site There you can view civil and small claims actions against Davin and Benchmark. Simply search for it ..

Thanks to all that have helped... and if you are an employee of Benchmark or have been in the past, I would like to visit with you.
