Colorado securities commissioner sanctions California company

A California company is under investigation for selling penny-stock shares to an elderly widow in Montrose.

Colorado Securities Commissioner Gerald Rome announced that he has entered a final cease and desist order against a California technology company and its executives for allegedly violating the securities registration and broker-dealer licensing provisions of the Colorado Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale of securities in Colorado, according to a press release.

Service Team Inc., its President, Carlos Arreola, and Vice President, Robert L. Cashman, all located in Villa Park, California, are named in the order.

The staff of the division of Securities, a Division of the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), alleged that in February 2013, Service Team, Arreola, and Cashman offered and sold 50,000 shares of Service Team at $.50 per share to an elderly widow in Montrose. Service Team was promoted as a technology company that services and repairs electrical appliances under warranty, and the stock was touted as a growth and value stock.

Service Team, Arreola, and Cashman employed an unlicensed broker-dealer and sales representative who solicited the investment by cold-calling investors. The staff alleged that Service Team, Arreola and Cashman failed to register the security offering and employed an unlicensed broker-dealer and sales representative.

“Any investor should be particularly leery of unsolicited offers to purchase securities through cold-calling, especially when they are offering penny stocks,” Commissioner Rome said in a statement. “Penny stocks are low priced securities that lack information and have poor liquidity, making them an easy target for fraudsters.”

The cease and desist order, which Service Team, Arreola and Cashman agreed to, orders the parties to immediately and permanently cease and desist offering or selling any security in or from Colorado in violation of the registration and licensing provisions of the Act or otherwise engaging in conduct in violation of any provision of the Act. As part of the agreement, Service Team, Arreola and Cashman have rescinded the sale and returned the investor’s money.

A copy of the order can be obtained from the Division by calling 303-894-2320.
