my husband and I have been taken by this Husband and wife team! I truly hope that they get what they deserve. We trusted this couple, heck she was my grandson's godmother! Talk about Madoff!
They took every cent that we had from ours homes to our savings! It makes me think three times about becoming aquintances with any being with two legs. The Unitts, especially Peck Eu Lee Unitt. She is rotten to the core. Don't let her 7 degrees and her CEO supposedly in Austraila sell you a line of bull! Friends/family BEWARE!
