Vestus Group - Carmel-By-The-Sea Marie Basinger: Run dont walk... Run as fast as you can away from this company. I invested most of my money into supposedly conservative investments. These people do not know what Conservative means. Every bit of advice was incorrect. I counted on them and when they got all that they could and there was nothing left (or they think there was nothing left) they stopped communicating. Yes every time I had a concern about how my money was doing or I questioned if it were really safe they would come back with high pressure rhetoric and I would just get disgusted and say forget it. Well, I finally took what I could out of their "incapable hands" and the rest I just consider a loss. Even in the downswing of this economy they kept telling me to leave it it in and that it was the best time to invest. Maybe for them. I prefer taking care of my own money in the future and because of this company I will never trust another Financial Adviser as long as I live
