HOUSTON A Texas-based company and its owners are facing fraud claims relating to the purchasing, resale and investment of personal protective equipment.
Joel Garza, Sr., and Joel Garza, Jr., filed a complaint April 5 in Harris County District Court against McCreless Enterprises LLC, Caleb McCreless, Rick Figueroa and Patron Partners LLC alleging fraud.
According to the plaintiffs complaint, they entered into two consecutive side letter agreements with the defendants for the purchase and redistribution of personal protective equipment (PPE) from China and Vietnam. The Garzas claim that they invested $147,600 and were to receive 30% and 10% of the profits. They allege that Caleb McCreless took the investment funds and put it into his personal accounts to make himself appear wealthier than he actually is and that the defendants frauduently were double selling the PPE which put their investment in jeopardy.
