This page is to warn people about a couple companies, including some
related individuals that I feel are dishonest and a great risk if you invest
with them. This is the only time I have put such negative stuff in my web site
and in some ways I didn't want to do it because it may look like I've just got
sour grapes. If you don't want to read this type of stuff, stop reading, there
is nothing else on this page.

Integra Investment Services (Roy Jennix and Maxine Cooke)
I regret to state that I used to recommend looking at a company
called Integra Investment Services owned by Roy Jennix and Maxine Cooke.
Fortunately I only offered it on this page as something you should check out
and to the best of my knowledge NO ONE invested in them based on my
comments.
It turns out that , in my opinion, Integra Investment
Services, Roy Jennix, Maxine Cooke and their associates are not who you want to
invest in or with.
- Check out Aurora River Towers (a company owned by Roy Jennix and
Maxine Cooke directly or indirectly) and their lawsuit against Carling
Development Inc. In particular - go (or come) and see a copy of Roy
Jennix' cross examination from the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta
Judicial District of Calgary Action No. 0301-19649. Also, read the
judge's ruling and now check out what the Alberta Securities
Commission has ruled (against Integra Investment Services, Roy Jennix and
Maxine Cooke) at their site, and watch to see what RECA - Real Estate Council
of Alberta - is doing. (If you have any dealings Maxine Cooke regarding
Mortgages - ask and I'll give you the RECA contact info. If you have any
dealings with Roy or Integra Investment Servicesapart from Maxine regarding
Mortgages - I'll give you the ASC contact info.) Then check out the Appeals
Judges ruling on the aforementioned suite - notice which side has to pay costs!
- Check out Integra Investment Services' list of claimed "successes" on their
web site - then go and see how many of these projects have
actually resulted in the investors getting back their principle let alone
their promised return. And on the ones that the investors received their
money - check out the property and see whether the projects were completed even
in the ballpark (time and type) as suggested and whether therefore those
few investors were lucky to have received their money back. Then decide
for yourself about Maxine Cooke, Roy Jennix and Integra Investment Services.
Since the Alberta Securities Commission ruled against them, I have
heard rumors that they are starting up all over under a company by the name of
Victoria Station and Ntegra. (Note, during the court case, they introduced a
company by the name of Serendipity. (I am not suggesting there is anything
wrong with owning several companies by several names - after all, I do it - I
build and then sell companies for a living. I just want to warn people that - a
rose by any other name... and if their reason for these new companies is to
hide the sins of their past - then that is a concern.) Note: As of
October 2005, I have information that they are still putting their web address
on literature sent out, but when I try to go to it, they have been shut down -
if you find a new address that they are promoting under, please let me know so
I can update this page.
Since I put this page up, I have also been contacted by other people who claim to
have been in other projects with Jennix and/or Integra, every one of them indicating
that their projects are also in failure and they wished they had read this page
before they invested.
