Jay Sherbondy (aka Jason Secord) / Global Reach Interational / Theologians

Let's try this again. No anonymous posts this time...

Please feel free to post any experiences you have had with con man/convicted felon Jay Sherbondy (aka Jason Secord). Let's send this loser back to prison where he belongs!

I'll start with my story just to get the ball rolling. Back in 2005 I had the misfortune of meeting Jay Sherbondy (aka Jason Secord) through a friend of mine. This friend hired Jay Sherbondy to market a property in Southern California. Jay later contacted me about doing some web design. He said that he worked for a company called Global Reach International, Ltd. that had thousands of employees and a management team and legal department based in Florida. They also had an IT group and technology center based in Chicago "the size of a Wal-Mart."

Jay Sherbondy (aka Jason Secord) said he personally made over $5 million per year. As IT Director, I would be started at $90,000/year, but I was told I would quickly be making $250,000/year as a percentage of the income generated by the websites I developed. He stated "the company regularly hands out $25,000 bonuses."

He said he personally owned a home in Las Vegas, as well as "a villa in Spain." He also stated that Global Reach "owned several buildings in Las Vegas." He stated that Global Reach "had just purchased the company Mr. Coffee."

In addition, he also offered another friend of mine a $200,000/year job as an activity director for "Global Travel," an cruise ship company. This job would entail spending one month in Spain every other month.

Detecting what I call "a high B.S. factor" in just about everything Jay Sherbondy told me, I decided to do some research. I quickly learned everything I was told were lies.

Global Reach was essentially a 2-person company consisting of Jay Sherbondy and his girlfriend Peggy Smith. Jay is a convicted felon who spent nearly 7 years in prison for fraud. There was no legal department in Florida, no IT department in Chicago, and no travel company or cruise line. I also found out that my friend had been scammed out of $4800 for marketing services that were never provided.

And this turned out to be just the tip of the ice berg. Some of Jay Sherbondy's lies didn't even make sense. For example, why make up the cruise ship story? What did Jay stand to gain? At some point, it would have become obvious that the job and indeed the entire story were fake.

My best guess at this point is that Jay Sherbondy (aka Jason Secord) is compulsive, pathological liar, and runs scams but also simply lies just to lie. His mind may be so delusional that he actually believes some of the stories he is telling, or thinks they will come to pass before anyone catches on.

These are just my offhand speculations. It would take a psychiatrist to put forth a theory on Jay Sherbondy's compulsive, pathological lying and delusional ideas.

One thing is certain: Jay Sherbondy (aka Jason Secord) will continue to lie and run scams as long as he is free. He is a danger to society and should be incarcerated.

WEEEELLLLLL... It seems like it could be the right guy, that being Jay Serbondy because: I have researched the number "he" (being whoever this is) is calling from and the company is Global Reach International and they are located at 633 West 5th 16th Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90071
and please correct me if I am wrong. The number that appears on my phone is (213)430-4262. If I get someone on the other end (which is less often than not) it is a woman with an accent (Asian). They are rude, they call before sunrise, and after dark, and at all hours in between trying to sell me acai berry bull shit. I have told them numerous times to "never call me again for any reason" and the calls continue relentlessly. I put myself on the donotcall.gov list and supposedly, you wait 31 days and if you receive a call from that number you can file a complaint. When I did, the site said something about that company already being registered and that I would have to wait another month from their registration date...WTF? So I can't make a complaint with the do not call list as stated. On top of that these people don't even answer half or more of the time, because they use some computer program to initiate calls. Very frustrating. It's disrupting my daily life and I want to know, in all seriousness, why no one has filed a lawsuit so far that has posted (or if they have I didn't see it yet). I have spent too much of my time looking for info on how to gat them to stop calling and harassing me. It's getting tiresome. Is that why no one bothers to slap their asses with a law suit? Does California penal code 653m apply to this? How can I get them to stop calling? I can't complain to the donotcall list, I have filed complaint so far w/ the BBB, I am in the process of contacting the attorney general's office for CA, and then I will file complaint w/ the ftc....anything else to speed up the process??? any suggestions? Is this global reach international the same that he is operating?

Hello Everyone
I am trying to post this message on all the different blogs against Jay so pardon the redundancy. Basically I am interested in starting communication with all of you, who are willing, who have been trying to get this guy stopped. Obviously by all the posts he is actively engaging in this and doesn’t seem to want to stop. But there are some people out there who may be in a position to get this guy slowed down if not stopped. He is and has hurt a lot of people and when I say hurt I mean financially devastate. So what I am offering is a safe, confidential way to get in touch and start talking about what we know and can do. I have set up an anonymous email address that I am willing to take emails at and open up some dialog. Now I’m not stupid and realize that you may be suspicious of me being Jay and trying to out people so I will not ever ask you your identity in our private emails and will give you my identity first if we decide to share that info. Please email me from a free anonymous account so there is no worry of being identified and so that issue can be taken off the table so we can just talk. I also realize some of you that post are really pissed so please don’t take this as an insult but I don’t want to deal with jerks just as much as you probably don’t want me to be a jerk. Let’s agree to not be jerks! And as for Jay who I am sure is reading this….please please do your best to mess with me because I know you will do what you can to try and figure out who this is. My best advice to you sir is to stop what you are doing and go underground and stay there. Because you are going to get caught again, its just a matter of time.
My email is anonymous.jayinfo@yahoo.com. I figure that if we band together and share info we are stronger as a team than an individual.

As of 1/2013 (or earlier), he goes by the name Leland D. Benton, Phd where he claims to be a behavioral scientist and forensic investigator (the PhD is bogus). He has a lot of crappy books on Amazon. His real name is Harry J. sherbondy, Jr. He resides in cedar city, Utah at present and claims to work with an "assistant of 5 years" named Angie (or Angela Horvath) running a bogus business called "epubWealth.". His crimes involve RICO violations among many others over many years. Want to see a fairly recent video of him, where you can hear his voice? Search for "cons on a bus. Prisoners ride alongside passengers." It is written by Noah Pransky. Harry took Noah's name as one of his many pen names for his crappy self published books on Amazon. Avoid like the plague-especially if you are a woman. He has a Jeckyl/Hyde personality. He will be sweet, but cross him and he will regale you with his team of lawyers who will sue you into oblivillion...of course there is no team of lawyers (public defenders maybe).

He has been writing books and selling publishing services under the company name ePubWealth. He solicits other authors and publishers as a wholesale services provider. I purchased some of them and the quality of his services is very inferior. He didn't deliver on most of what he charged for, and as soon as I held him accountable he cut me off, gave me a partial refund and went underground. His website is still active at this time. This is not a reommended company to do business with.
