  • Investors Response 1/3/2008
    As an investor of this company I do NOT have anything good to tell about them. Ms.Smith's article did not surprise me. I haven't seen any sign of respect or responsibility to the investors from this company, I regret my involvement with them. I invested $15,000 in June 2007 and did not hear a word from them until November . Many of my attemps to receive information were not answered, just once I was able to reach James Peck who was the one calling me many times to recruit the money, he answered my questions in an angry and unprofessional manner, no information at all. I received one quick phone call 5 months after investing from a person who told that they will open the site in December with some delay. I am not aware of many facts they mention on their response letter. Also I do not understand why their response came 7 months after the publication. They should inform and update the investors on a regular base, unfortunatelly my e-mails were not replied and calls were not answered. They do not give any kind of information to the investors on their web site which makes you think that this is a spam, nothing else. If they want to improve their image as a company a copy of their letter should go to all investors, especially remote ones like me. I wouldn't learn many facts they mention on this letter if I did not find it in the web incidentially. I hope they will learn from their mistakes and do not repeat them for the future. I still have many worries and concerns about this investment I made. The time will show if I am wrong or not. I will post it here if things turn around! Sincerely, TU Melissa

    • Another unhappy investor 1/30/2008
      I too feel absolutely scammed by Advanced Health Scan. I was stupid enough to have invested $45000 in this joke of an investment. DUMB!!! Calls or emails are never returned. Mark Joyner, when you can reach him, always has an excuse for why the project has been delayed....if there was a project at all. The only thing left to do is to turn all of my documents over to the Attorney General's office and let them get to the bottom of it. I do not believe for a second that I will ever see a dime of the money I invested. Hang onto your cash...do not give it to Advanced Health Scam.

      • promise that is not a promise 2/7/2008
        Invested 50K in April or may 2006. Delay in complition was explained at various stages. I understand that delays in new venture usaly possible. They wanted more money in Nov. 2007 to start new CENTER and was told by Mr. Pack that I will be getting two checks in December 2007. No checks in December. Called on January 8,2008. I was told that Mr.Joyner is out and Mr. Pack is on telephone. She asked me what do I want. I told her what happend to the two dividend checks. She said Oh they will be going out by the end of January. Today is February 7, no checks!! surprise ! Surprise. Promise is not a promise. Question: Is it a scam or mismanagement?

    • doesn't look good 2/12/2008
      Do a bit of googling and you'll find significant problems, Look up Dan Caterino. Also you find the SEC in Alabama is having lots of problems with these folk and the Johnsons from Inner Image Diagnostics - it is seeming like this is some kind of a scam. Visiting the offices has proven futlile.

        • actions we can take 6/7/2008
          Hi, I invested $25,000 in this investment in June of 2007. Like a lot of investors I have been lied to concerning dividens and progress on the facility. I believe it is time that we as investors should look at taking action against Advanced Health Scan. Is there any way that you know of to get names, address, phone numbers and e-mail address of investors. So we can all get togeather and file complaints and try to get some of our money back. thank-you Jeff Richard jrich10073@mtnparks.com (970)723-4247

          • also an investor 5/16/2008
            My wife and I invested in the early stages also. My contact there or sales rep left the company back in february with no communication to us. Im a bit leery but optimistic also. Perhaps Im being naive but have faith in the overall business plan. We live on the east coast so difficult to get out to California right now. I believe it would be in the an opportune time for Paul to reach out and give us an udpate to the group as a whole...

                I have repeatedly sent emails requesting information and called whatever office they could be tracked to. If their brand was so successful wht are they narketing another project under a different name? Does not make sense. I have thrown in the towel. I have submitted all fo my paperwork (original offering, contracts, old email communications) to the Orange County DA and will let them sort it out. If they have nothing to hide then we will all find out shortly.

                Team Paul Levy doesn't work with AHS anymore and I hear that Mark Joyner is going by the name of Tom Joyner and he too does not work with AHS anymore but Mark Joyner is with elife or emed. I think the most ligetimate man is Dr Smith.

                • key players 12/17/2009
                  Mark Joyner appears to be working for emedholdings . The web has articles indicating that Dan Caterino is in jail. There is no way to reach Mark Joyner. His phone was shut off and his internet site markjoynerministries.com no longer exists. As a "general Partner" it seems like he should be going to jail. He did some pretty underhanded things and people should be warned!

    • Still no dividend... 5/5/2008
      Does anyone have a telephone number for the Radiology Center in Rancho Cucamonga that Advanced Health Scan/Mark Joyner have supposedly opened? Has anyone actulally seen the facility? Belive it our not, Advanced Health SCAM is now soliciting investors for ANOTHER "facility" under a different corporate name. They had the stones to call me and ask whether I wanted to invest! I would love to discuss potential legal action with other investors conned by the organization. You can reach me at salvo1040@yahoo.com.

    • Plan of Action 5/6/2008
      This response will be broken down into several emails so keep reading the posts… OK, I have decided to expose whatever I discover about Advanced Health Scan, Mark Joyner, John Leal and Dan Caterino in hopes of flushing these guys out into the light to face investors in the Inland Empire project. It has become a shell game with changing names and addresses and lots of questions. I tracked down Jim Fower, CEO of Cal Scan who, according to the September Advanced Health Scan newsletter, repaired the facility MRI and declared to Dan Caterino (John Leal's assistant), "OK, Mr. Caterino, your center is now state of the art." Mr Fower confirmed via email that his company did indeed do the work and that Toshiba of North America was to have installed the 64-slice scanner in January. He also stated that he was hoping to pick up a maintenance contract and was waiting to be contacted by someone at the facility. I emailed back to him and asked for a contact number at the facility. He said he did not have one which I found to be a little odd. How could you perform service on an MRI and not have a contact number to the facility where you performed the work? I will try to get a hold of someone at Toshiba to confirm their part of the installation. Con’t…

    • Plan of Action.. con't 5/6/2008
      If you access the Advanced Health Scan website, most of the links are dead and roll you back to the splash page except for the newsletter, the mail link and the Signature Services link at the bottom of the page which is a solicitation for additional investment. As I mentioned in my previous posting, I believe that principals of Advanced Health Scan, Mark Joyner, John Leal, Dan Caterino, et al, have moved on to create another entity with the same purpose of creating a Limited Partnership to raise funds from qualified investors. I found a phone number on the internet for Advanced Health Scan of the Inland Empire, Irvine, CA. The number is 949-250-5701. However, the phone is answered as Imgine which is supposed to be the name of the company that John Leal started. Hmmmmm...I spoke to the office on the morning (8:47 am PST) of 5/6/08 and spoke with Susan (receptionist), identified myself as an investor in the Advanced Health Scan Inland Empire project and asked for Mark Pastor, John Leal or Dan Caterino. I was told that no one was in the office but if I gave my name and number they would call me back. I then asked if all three shared the office at Imgine and Susan responded that yes, they do, I then asked for an address and a contact number at the Inland Empire facility. She responded that she did not have it. I then asked if the facility was open and she responded, yes. No response yes from Mr. Joyner, Mr. Leal or Mr. Caterino. I have also tried to find a contact number for any facility in Rancho Cucamonga, CA that could be in any way connected to this project. The address is stated in the aforementioned September Newsletter as "the prior practitioner’s office at The Foothill Scan Center, 10681 Foothill Road, Rancho Cucamonga, CA. No suite number, no contact number. So the search continues. I will be in SoCal next week and plan on seeing once and for all if the place even exists. Con’t…

    • Plan of Action...con't 5/6/2008
      I ask any and all investors in this project to engage in meaningful dialogue towards resolution of these issues. I have initiated complaints with the SEC and the CA Attorney General’s office. Additional, I have contacted an attorney to create a strategy for action. If you, as an investor have something to add, please contact me at the email address below. Mr. Joyner has previously responded to a posting on this website, perhaps he would like to respond now. Salvo1040@yahoo.com

      • Contact 5/13/2008
        Hello, I have also invested in this project and while I am frustrated with the delays and lack of communication on Advanced Health Scan's end I continue to be optimistic that this venture will ultimately be a success. I have recently been in contact with Paul Levey who has given me prgress updates on the facility. According to him, the facility has been completed and is fully functional. They are currently in the interview process to staff the facility. The timeframe for this was to be within 30 days, but I am not sure on the progress as of today. If you want to reach out to Paul, his phone number is (949) 933-6124. Hope this helps.

    • Another investor 6/12/2008
      This has been a nightmare. I live in the LA area and have met with Caterino and have been escorted off the premises by the police. Please e-mail me, maybe there is some info I might have that may be of help to someone. I lost 35K. Lawyers wont touch it because after whatever disgorgment the SEC gets there will be no funds to even cover lawyers fees. The SEC in LA is dealing with this - ask for Peter Del Greco. He would love to hear from you. The Rancho Cucamonga office was apparantly open for a while but then, according to Caterino, investors starting hounding the workers and doctors there so now then can find no one to staff the facility. Please - all you people who are being optimistic = get over it - . This is a scam. I wish I could relay to you the actions one on one of all the people involved. Paul Levy is a worm - and is getting well paid. Imgine is the comapny that "operates" these "centers". Patricia Lyons is the mother in law of Caterino you will see her signature on some of your worthless certificates. Caterino is wanted by the Alabama SEC - big time . Randy Morton, Candace Lewis, Stanley and Easter Johnson, Leon Revis... the list is endless and this is a huge network of people that have all worked together at some point in some way. It is very messy. Inner Image Diagnostics - stay away from them too. We have lost 75K with them. the best we can hope for is to deduct everything as a theft on this years taxes. These people have practically ruined us and from what I am gleaning we have no recourse. By the way - Caterino has a very nice house in Lake Forest that we are all paying for. Do I sound a bit jaded? Sorry about. mvaspain@aol.com

      • fools desire 6/28/2008
        How can you speak as though you know what you are speaking of? Foolish investors are aplenty, and they need guidance and help. But, by you stepping out onto the stage and voicing your opinions, you would just think that maybe they understood law, or asked questions first. These types of blogs have created unfair working conditions for the limited partners, with brains that do NOT AGREE WITH the junk on NuWire. As a matter of fact, NuWire is guilty of the same thing that Advanced Health Scan was accused of. (Records at BBB not accurate)People, please don't hear this type of unproductive gibberish. I believe that Chandra may be a good person, but she acts as a FOOL, NOT COOL, when she elaborates where she has no knowledge. The NHI campaign is now taken over by a few good men, no women. These wise men are furious with the Chandra's of the investment world. And we would never get involved with another private placement- because today’s young investors do not read or understand what it is that they are buying into. This leads them into investment dollars going to scam organizations... and then they jump on the “everybody is a scam” wagon... killing the original real deals. How long do you think that John's attorneys are going to allow him to be abused like this? They are simply gathering there information to go to the proper authorities, and plead their case. If John had a place to take the doctors to, he would have months ago. But Investor Yates comes in sweating, screaming profanities, being escorted out by police.... very unprofessional people. I am amazed. I wonder how sad it is that children in our country could end up in strip clubs. Now I see how there parents treat their own investments, I understand now the poor children running away from home, It's the same feeling I get when I go to work every morning trying staff and market Advance Health Scan. Good Luck and God Bless Chandra, she'll need it.

      • truth locked inside 6/28/2008
        according to Mr. Yates, everyone must suffer. This seems to be his moto. I know, I see Johns crew deal with Mr. Yates cloud of doubt everyday! First off, the people that Mr. Yates attacked are not from the same side of the street as the others he names reclessly in this many attempts to rekindle investment dollars hew has lost due partly to his abrasive attitude and lack of talent in the field of investing. I recommend a good book called Rich Dad Poor Dad. People, put your thinking caps on... If a man robs a bank, what are the chances that he would halt.... upon fleeing the bank, Stop and pay his taxes to the IRS walk-up window for thugs, slugs, Mug,s Goofes, gangs, quiebies, creepies, sleepy's and Tanya Hardings. Point made well! Not a single scam artist, thief, crook, or bandit I have ever met that doesn't have a extreme love for money! OPM. or anybodies money . In your attempt to wash away the hurt deep down inside, you have many modes of attack, failing to remember that not only did they pay theior taxes, but they bought the scanner! and they paid a million dollars or 100%. This is above and beyound the c all of duty. dan has over $150,000 of his family's money in on top... and still placed a high regard to thye investors furnishings etc... His only problem is lies. Not his lies... there are lies!Example: They waited for any opoportunity possible to give market reports to investors... But because of Yates, and the autorities he mentions THE EXPERT MEDICAL STAFF has been handcuffed by their attorney. The attorney recently sucumbed to Sudden Death, ,after refusing A SCAN FROM Dan. wOw! nOW THE GATES HAVE BEEN OPENED , THE EXPERTS PROUCED 6 INFORMATIONBAL VIDEOS TALKING ABOUT gRAND oPENINGS rEVENUE. aND SOME YAHOO PUT THE TAPES ON THE INTERNET. tHIS IS A PRIVATE PLACEMENT! tHE REASON THEIR ARE NOP EMPLOYEES IS BECAUSE YA'LL ARE VERY GOOD AT SCARING YOUNG ADULTS. Mr. CATERINO HAS MORE HEART TALENT AND Gumption THAN THE THE CREW At advanced heatlh scan... and still gets up every day squeezing through the threats to build our profit margin. I'm in on the next one too. But They say they will not do them any more... and they are letting you win! You win nothing! Leave them alone so investors can get reports!

            I been with ads since 2005. I have heard it all. My question is, what more is there to be done? Last I heard they were hiring staff. There are centers around where I live that have popped up in less time than my time invested here. And they are 64 slice. Im sure if you look you will see some in your area. I think we as investors have been plenty patience. Has anyone talk to James Peck. He told me back in Jan 08 that we were running. What a lier.....Hope this come's to life soon. Good Luck to all

      • Why not believe? 6/27/2008
        The amount of damage that I have witnessed in the last few days is amazing. And the Investors are damaging themselves! If these guys were theives they would have taken the loot when they ran out the back door! Instead, I see the 1.6 million dollar scanner... sitting in it's proper place. I see beautiful plush interior (like no other)and I see a hugh market of customers as I wonder down the boulevard each evening. What I do not see is these loud-mouth investors! Not a one! I do not see respect to their profession or their home town. I do not see a shred of evidence that they are lazy or unqualified. But i can tell you this... When John hired me as a contact advisor, (PR work for the benefit of the partnership) I never invisioned a war against ourselves! If you have such a great need to fix this cruel world of shame, scam, and scumbags... then tune into Oprah Winfree. Now that's a scam and a story to that can't be beat! Contact Advisor #6

      • I'd bet ny life on your dime! 6/27/2008
        I believe that if Mr. quarterback couch potato spent a little travel time to the center, like other belivers have, that he would have a much harder time uniting the investors for destruction. I'm not sure he would make it past the first day! Most investors don't sit at home guessing... they put down their childish ways and seek the truth through their dedication... like driving out to the center on foothill boulevard!

      • Backing up the facts 6/30/2008
        Following Dan's Comments titled "fools desire 6/28/2008",Just to let other investors know that we had lengthy ( and sometimes angry,yet professional) emails going back and forth between us. Without getting too much into the details of the email, overall I have a feeling that advanced health scan is not a lost cause and light is at the end of the tunnel. So investors, I would kindly request you to stick with Advanced Health scan related discussion only in this forum. If you are level headed,dont get carried away by emotions ,send an email to Dan asking him a date where you can visit the center ,look at it for yourself. If many of you want to do it, please coordinate a single date where you all go to look at it, so Dan and his team work to have the center up and running... This is how i finished my email with Dan..and it holds true ""But the ultimate answer is pure and simple..Have the center up and running rather than answer to fools like me! "" Let us wait for Dan's email before posting our thoughts here! coolchandra@gmail.com

        • Time for Advanced Health Scan 9/29/2008
          Time is no longer on the side of Advanced Health Scan. In my personal opinion Mr. Caterino, Mr. Levey and Mr. Joyner is a bunch of thieving crooks. This is copied from the Supreme Court of California for Orange County: Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction. 5. Defendants Daniel A. Caterino and Dominic Felli shall be permanently enjoined and barred directly or indirectly holding, in this state, any position of employment, management or control of any broker-dealer defined pursuant to Section 25004 of the California Corporations Code, as of the date of the entry of the Final Judgment. 6. Defendants Daniel A. Caterino and Dominic Felli shall be permanently enjoined and barred directly or indirectly holding, in this state, any position of employment, management or control of any investment advisor defined pursuant to Section 25009 of the California Corporations Code, as of the date of the entry of the Final Judgment. As for the fact of me doing something stupid, thank you for your advice but if doing something stupid is complaining to the California Board of Corporations, The State's Attorney General, The FTC and The SEC about a bunch of thieves taking some honest investors for a ride is not stupid, It is a morally correct thing to do. The only way that someone would have been with this company for 3 years is if you worked for Advanced Health Scan. And I believe that Mr. Caterino himself is answering some of these posts to cover his backside. And one last thing, if you wanted to talk about doing something stupid, is posting without doing a simple spell check. Just a word of advice.

          • Dickhead 10/2/2008
            Information reported on NuWire is a sales pitch to sell information to people on the internet that more often than not appears to have ulterior motives or is just outright inaccurate. And we know what the editors… ulterior motives are; that is to fleece American investors out of their money though memberships, like the better business bureau…. In an article about Advance Health Scan, dated .., less than 30% of the information is accurate, I am positive of the inaccuracy and can prove it to anyone who drive to 100 Bayview Circle, Suite 1200, Newport Beach, CA 92660 Hi, my name is Dan Caterino, owner of South Coast Signature Services, which has been incorporated since July of 2002. My business is saving lives through heart disease awareness, and many of my followers believe in the opportunities that lie ahead with our organizations. I have a lot more to say in coming letters. If you have a problem with NuWire, or are like me and have been badgered for no reason at all with inaccurate statements from an n editor with no morals or ethics. I would be happy to discuss with you these issues. Were open from 9am to 4pm PST. Dan Caterino (714) 661-3000.

          • Dickhead 10/2/2008
            My name is Dan Caterino, a Christian business owner in Newport Beach, CA. Since 2002. Like Kevin Trudeau I am in the health care industry. And like Mr. Trudeau (to the best of my knowledge) my character has wrongfully been attacked over the last few years. On Friday August 29th, 2008 at approximately 11pm, my wife and I were playing scrabble in our home WITH our two little girls, ages 4 and 8 asleep. My wife and several of the neighbors heard the sounds of smashing metal; which turned out to be either a hit and run accident, driver under the influence or an attack on our family. We do not have enough information to draw any other conclusions. (Note: if the OC Sherriff’s department or federal authorities, which are part of the investigation, have other findings we will post them.) For now, I feel like a weeble, and have a hard time making it through the day without “wondering what has happened to America”. I have spoken to Colin Stewart, an Orange County Register columnist, which I put my trust in, on numerous occasions in 2007 about blogs written on the internet, which I defended when defense was needed and apologized when apologies were appropriate. Because clearly I am not a Saint, don’t claim to be, and like everyone else have made mistakes in my past. Also, I have emails from Mr. Stewart that point towards articles that he would write in favor of the information he received from me in our few conversations. Mr. Stewart, I quote; “That this information, I find exciting, and want to learn more about it when I get back from my vacation”. Unbeknownst to me, Mr. Stewart’s claims turned out to be nothing more than a bunch of hot air. (I have personal emails and eye-witnesses to back my statements) The information that Colin received was in reference to Heart Disease, and a NuWire Editorial with many inaccurate statements. Once Mr. Stewart heard the truth, I was led to believe that the truth would be known through his periodical or mentioned on his blogs. Instead, I know of two articles that have been written by this OC Register columnist, and does not once give credit where credit is deserved. The limitation of 2500 characters per blog allows me to go no farther. However read on as many more blogs will be posted or call me personally at (714) 661-3000. Dan Caterino

          • Why don't you put your name 10/2/2008
            To the investor who wrote in support of AHS, thank you. To the investor who thinks he knows what he’s talking about simply for the fact that he trusts the United States Government to be accurate and honest—to me shows the level of intelligence in this individual. (A) Do a Google search “Douglas Boyd, MD – HealtScan” What you will find is that there are 2 - HeartScans. (B) Go get Kevin Trudeau’s books about the FDA and how corrupt our government is. They are (burning his informative books) Fed’s are caught taking sex from Oil Companies in exchange for billions of tax incentives. In my case, (I’m not afraid of the truth, that’s why I put my name and number for anyone concerned to contact me directly (714) 661-3000. Dan) something I noticed that the cowards who know nothing about their investment with Advanced Health Scan always refrain from! Instead, complain and cry. Instead of putting a few buck of gasoline in their car to find out the truth. Complaining causes chronological problems! The man you sent your money to, John, has imaged more cardiac patients than any individual in the last 10 years! But it’s still a scam? You Mr. Ghost Writer, sure know what you’re talking about, you are an experienced expert. What I don’t understand is… what is it that you’re an expert in? Because other than using a pc generated spell check— it appears that you simply like helping NuWire sell uneducated periodicals on the internet. Uneducated people panic and do not do well in the market. That’s why you’re a loser. When I heard that HeartScan had violation issues, I immediately refunded all monies that were in dispute. I noticed you didn’t mention that, Mr. Expert? And I did it in one day, one check, the right Christian thing to do. Thank You Dan of Im-gine. Hey Paul.

            • What a nasty Christian mouth you have 10/3/2008
              For such an excellent Christian, you do have a foul mouth. But I guess I would be angry to if I was called a fake, fraud or a snake oil salesman. By the way, its Ms. Dickhead to you. I find that people who use foul language are usually people who cannot use the "bigger" words in the dictionary. So for a moment I will sink to your level to reply to the comment that I am a "dickhead", Have you looked in the mirror lately. You look like a baldheaded baboon and you act like one too. You can plead that you are a good Christian who would not take an unhonest dime but I have had a good look at the court records for Orange County and records from the California Corporations office. You have been a very naughty baboon. By the way, how did everything go in Alabama? Heard that they would like to see you back there. On another note, I hope that everything goes well on October 28, hope you have a good time. See ya there.

              • Disagree? 10/3/2008
                May I ask you a question, what are you going to do in January when suddenly January is no lonfer feasible. But now its June or October, that you might see something on your investment? Wake up and smell the coffee. When I talked to the office just last week, it was supposedly up and running. But Mr Caterino himself said that one machine is broken and one was not even hooked up yet. As of this moment, we have all lost our money. Do you even hope for a second of getting any of it back? do you believe that the good Christian gentleman that supposedly runs this corporation is doing anything besides running his mouth. The pictures of the outside of the center even look photoshopped.

          • Share the pain,but disagree.. 10/2/2008
            I am an investor ( 15k) who was indeed very angry with advhealthscan. Even though I knew the risk of losing the principle,never really thought that was going to happen and naturally did get agitated over the perceived loss!. I also did look up Dan on the internet and found about the california County judgement as well. Might be it was just learning steps or simply that he may be a crook.But again, those are all history and my only interest is my invested money and possible returns. Few things are what kept my hopes up ( and hopefully your as well) 1. Why have they not shut their doors and gone home? 2. Dan is willing to entertain anyone to visit the center. That gives me hope 3. Dan in his video email , has said the distribution check could be expected in Jan 09. 4. If they had opened the center with the intention of fraud, they would be having a foolproof accounting to justify the cause. All they had to say was their salary was a million dollars ( or whatever be the amount). 5. Dan says his personal investment is 175k(in the video email). And he points to bible and gives some lecture on morals..but basic idea is I believe he is honest in saying his money is invested. 6. So this makes me naturally to assume that the only other way we lose money is mismanagement of a startup , which if it had happened, again.We as investors have lost our money and no amount of legalities is going to recoup the cost. 7. Assuming you go to a lawyer. He takes 40% of recovery cost. and that would leave most of the investors with nothing. 8. Assuming the government punishes them, well..You(me) have lost 100% of our investments. I agree with P.S. Let us be patient !! Remember health(esp heart related) is one of the safest investments you can make even today. As long as the center gets fully operational you will recover atleast more of your principle than you would make in any other way. Chandra coolchandra at gmail dot com

        • Scanning Centers in India 10/2/2008
          I just came back from India and this slice 64/128 scanners are a craze. There are lot of independent scanning centers promoting aggressively ( no prescription required) and are indeed making lot of money. In fact all of them (even hospitals) have marketing reps selling directly to public (Rs 12,000 but 50% off if you do today.... Rs 45 > $1). People have no idea that it is ultimately a radiation and are skipping the traditional testing ladder that begins with Cholesterol testing > symptoms>ECG etc. But from bottomline, I would be glad to have it.

    • Facts You must know 8/14/2008
      Dear Investors, It was brought to my attention just today about such internet blogs. You all deserve to know the details of this project from my point of view with nothing but facts. This is James Fower Of Calscan Medical, my experience in the medical imaging industry goes back to 1981. We engage in the sale and service of Medical imaging Equipment. Rancho center had an operational MRI and a none working old CT scanner. The MRI alone, we sold another system with exact configuration ( system and installation only ) for $350k. The imaging center was sold as ASSET only sale and not as a running business, Dr. Kumar wanted to keep his referrals. The sale price was $300k, a very very low price for such, it included the MRI and printer and dicom computer. The lease was transferred over to new owners. The old ct removal was included in the sale price. Calscan sold the new owners a 3 months old Toshiba CT 64 slice system that cam directly from Toshiba delivered and installed for a total price of $900k (new system price was $1.4 million at the time).

    • Facts You must know 2 8/14/2008
      Dr. Kumar wanted to send his patients to the center and pay per study but the center was never opened at the time to accommodate such. While waiting for CT install, We advised Dan to have the center opened and operate the MRI to make some income!!! nothing happened. To all you medical imaging investors in case you do not you: " MRI uses Liquid Helium to maintain the magnet super conductive and must be monitored daily". NO MONITORING was done, the liquid helium consumed and magnet "Quenched" a term used to hard and uncontrolled loss of power and causes damage to magnet, calscan replaced the chilled water system with brand new one and recommissioned the magnet to full working order! at a very expensive cost of which we still owed over $20k for material plus full labor Time passed by, Calscan was never been contracted as the service company, no monitoring was done and so the same thing happened again. We refused to fix again due to fact we were never paid in full for the first repair, and second is that our good reputation need not be smeared due the mistakes of others. WE spent an excessive time of 500 man hour of labor with two engineers on site with our rate of $350 per hour which never been collected.

    • Facts You must know 3 8/14/2008
      We did not collect $60k for the work done? Some seem to think an offense is there best defense, you as well as Calscan have lost money in this poorly planned adventure. My simple advised is that there is an imaging center, with fully working state of the art 64 slice CT scanner, the best, start using it and make some $$ before it becomes outdated and from the profits save some to get the MRI back on line it is not too late. We run an honest business since 1992, the prices sold were below market and our goal was to be the future service company for a long term relation. Some investors have contacted me with questions that were answered with full honesty. Next time you need to invest in medical, just contact a medical specialty company, I will be very happy to give free advice to any of you and welcome any business opportunity. Furthermore: Not myself neither Calscan were ever hired by Dan or any of his companies to be consultants and never received $$ for such. We simply brokered the sale, and then were told to go ahead to repair the MRI after the first Quench and we did. We submitted an agreement to Dan to be the service company, and such was never considered. You need to asked the key questions: How many investors are involved? how much money total investments? how was it spent? Financial statements? $900,000 CT, $300,000 Assets center, and around $30,000 repairs and the rest ????? Where are the rest? how much is the rest?

    • Facts You must know 4 8/14/2008
      We have over $200k owed to us? we elected not to even pursue at this time and keep a good distance from AHSLP, however we reserve the right for such. It is impossible to buy an imaging center with MRI and room ready for CT as a running business with referrals and all for only $300k, no one will sell a milking cow so cheep even in todays economy as it is, the sale was ASSET sale and have to be made into a business buy popper managing which never happened until today. For us we brokered $1.2 million deal, our cost was $1.1 million plus $15k in commission plus $25k to remove the old CT, all the labor and Helium...going back in time i would have made such a stupid decision to be involved with this project our honesty and integrity are far beyond. Three months ago i was contacted by an old friend that have been managing imaging centers for over a decade, i put him in touch with Dan, thinking thats exactly what is needed to help, and yet nothing came out of such. I am truly surprised with some the comments i read here, you are taking all what is said by AHSLP as the final and only facts! Please ask yourselves the questions from above. I am really sorry it came down to this, GOD bless you all with good health and prosper.

    • Advanced Health Scam 9/24/2008
      We invested in this company about 2 years ago. We have received nothing except the runaround. I have called numerous times to hear "No one is here at the moment, let me have someone call you back", and not a word. I have called the office number at the 10681 Foothill Blvd and there is never an answer or an answering machine. The one receptionist at the 1-877-520-0091 (the 877-328-2322 is out of service)that I have talked to doesn't even know the website for the company that she works for.I think this investment is a crock and the owners/partners in this are crooks. I am not sure what any other investors are doing, but I am filing several complaints against them. And for all those saying that this business might turn around, isn't 2 years + some, a bit long to see a return on your investment?

          • Imgine is officially out. 11/26/2008
            Hope we recover some money.. TO: THE LIMITED PARTNERS OF ADVANCED HEALTH SCANS INLAND EMPIRE, MEDICAL LP The Management Services Agreement has been signed and notarized between your General Partner and SMITH & ASSOCIATES, a Virginia Sole Proprietorship. The General Partner was represented by Patricia Lyons, on record with the State of California. (See Attachment 'A', which is part of the Management Services Agreement.) Effective November 15 IMGINE has been disengaged from all business activities. SMITH & ASSOCIATES is now charged with restructuring operations. Those options have been outlined in previous correspondence dated Oct 20 & Oct 28 and included dissolution or relocation. OWNERSHIP has no funds currently to fund these efforts. The limited partners are OWNERS, in addition to the General Partner. 145K is needed to 1. pay the outstanding rent on the current space (40K) 2. relocate the Scanner to the hospital campus. (45K) 3. pay the management fees for our team (60K, 120 days) ((and complete a new business plan with revenues and expenses which reflect the payer mix and specific geography, while taking into account the hospital joint venture campus location and proceedure mix)) SUGGESTED TRANSITION PATH: 1. Limited Partnership is kept intact 2. Management 'C' Corporation with 3 Member Board of Directors to be formed 3. 10% currently earmarked for IMGINE reverts to the new investors as Preferred Stock 4. Up to an additional 40% of 'C' Corporation sold for $400,000.00 with CT Scanner as security. This 'C' Corporation can effectively replace the GENERAL PARTNER as one scenario within the next 120 days. It is the responsibility of 'OWNERSHIP' to address these current cash needs. I can be reached by cell phone at 1-615-686-5786 Or contacted by email to set a time for direct discussion. emr4md@hotmail.com C. Frank Smith, MD Principal, SMITH & ASSOCIATES PLEASE NOTE: 1.

    • To. Mr Dan Caterino 10/3/2008
      I do believe in your follow-up posts to me that you mean to diparage me. If you do not know what the word means then please look it up in the dictionary. As a good Christian that you supposedly are, then you are suppose to turn the other cheek. But in your normal low fashion, you can only call someone a dickhead, loser or an idiot. To lower myself to your standards is in fact an affront to my standards but I will give it a try. If you look in the mirror, you will see a bald headed nasty mouth baboon looking back at you. But in the State of California and in Orange County, court records are online. So in the spirit of calling someone a loser, I am sure that you would not appreciate me showing everyone on this board what a naughty baboon you have been. Now as the conniving wench that I am, I plan on making sure that you, Mr. Tom Joyner and Mr. Paul Levey get exactly what is coming to you. You never plan on opening that center and you never plan on refunding anyone's money to them. You will just write it off as failure and then move onto the next scheme. In my book, that does not make you a good Christian.

      • Still hazy..official update1 1/15/2009
        January 11, 2009 The former headquarters for IMGINE, INC, located at 100 Bayview in Newport Beach, CA is now closed effective Friday, January 9, 2009, to my understanding. All furniture, computers, records have been relocated to temporary storage location unknown to me currently. As I understand, the records of the General Partner are to be maintained at a specific address and this new address will be forwarded at such time as the location is determined. Many comments, questions, and concerns have been fielded by me, personally, over the past 2 months. I am making no judgments on the past other than those previously communicated by me, personally, beginning October 20, 2008.

      • Still hazy.update 2 1/15/2009
        Current Status: The free-standing Rancho Cucamonga facility continues to house the Toshiba Scanner and additional hard assets of Advanced Health Scans, Inland Empire, Medical LP. The full inventory of those assets will be videotaped for perusal via internet prior to removal and relocation, re-installation. To Date, SMITH & ASSOCIATES has not been paid the contracted fees as set forth in the management services agreement with the general partner. We have options which include walking away or continuing to pursue finalized agreement with Rancho Specialty Hospital. I returned to Southern California on January 7 to meet with the hospital CEO, Mike Kerr, and the hospital attorney, Chris Doan. Mr. Jim Hanson accompanied me to that meeting. Holidays have delayed back and forth communications and drafts. There were elements of the agreement which I could not agree to. Specifically, we were originally seeking a 180 day interest free loan of $145,000, using the Scanner as collateral and providing the hospital with a first right of refusal to sell should a buyer emerge. We were presented a draft which included $150,000 loan, 24 months, 8%, and default language which was unacceptable. I advised there are 300 investors. We have a specific timeline and financial needs for current lease and release of assets plus dollars for de-installation, relocation, re-installation. In addition to management fees and now, we are looking at past due taxes which I just learned about. This has gotten messy with time delays. The hospital offered 'interest only' for the first 6 months. I countered with $200,000 request, 36 months, 6 months interest only, and our desire for a 5 year, renewable lease. This offer was taken to their Board Monday on the evening of Jan 12. I expect to receive a counter with updated revised language regarding default and I expect to receive that by Thursday. This is not great news. We will look at alternative solutions. Intent is to take existing assets, revised business plan, leverage the assets to best economic advantage without going back to investors for additional $$ per unit. I have been swamped by emails, phone calls, tax issues. We are seeking to obtain, update, and document a listing of the current investor roster with phone and email. Will expect that to be forthcoming from CPA (s)... .

    • The truth about Dan Caterino 10/29/2008
      I too am an investor in AHScam. I have spoke with the authorities in Alabama, and here is what they told me. Dan Caterino is a convicted felon and has spent time in prison. Scams like this are how he makes a living. He apparently has been doing this since the late 1990's, but SURPRISE none of these scanning centers have ever been opened!!! Quite a track record. Dan, Mark Joyner, and others in AHS previously did this same type of scam with a company called Lifeline Imaging (in Orange Co.) Dan and others in Lifeline were indicted by the authorities in Alabama and were arrested. They are currently awaiting trial on securities fraud charges for doing the same thing they are doing with AHS. Alabama also told me it was illegal for them to just pick up the phone and start selling securities to anyone, and since Caterino has two previous felony convictions he is facing 10 years to LIFE in prison in Alabama. I guess he is just trying to steal as much money as he can before he goes off to prison. I also did some research and found the California order against Caterino that basically says he can't even touch a security, much less sell any. He is a crook claiming to be a Christian, and he will rot in hell for using religion to steal from people. Dan if you read this and think I am making all this up, go ahead and post a reply. I have got documentation to back up what I am saying, and I will burn you some more you crook.

      • It takes time 9/28/2008
        I dont how much you have invested in venture capital, but it takes time to take new companies from start up to profit. I have some companies I have been with for 10 years waitng. But I believe this one is now ready to produce profit buy the frist quarter of 09. Here is the latest that I have heard: http://www.advhealthscan.com/ir/ Now if they dont do what they say, than I would be with you. But take a little more time. Dont do something stupid because you did not know what venture capital was all about. Thanks and good luck. Fellow Investor P.S. I have been with them for over 3 years...

    • Important Letter .Give Feedback 11/6/2008
      I received this letter from a doctor who may turnaround the company. sorry for the formatting At Dan's invitation I agreed to serve on an interim and unpaid basis as consultant to IMGINE. I met with the hospital and did so from a turn-around perspective. On my recommendation, a letter of confidentiality was signed on a September 13 to begin joint venture negotiations. I am confident the operations can be successful if moved from the current location onto the Hospital Campus. 1. regulatory and reimbursement environments have shifted again to hospital campus versus free standing and 5 year future is extemely positive. (see the attachment) 2. Dan disengages from all aspects of operations and John Leal provides services which have been paid for 3. the hospital is on target to complete the 10,000 sq foot build out for its Spinal Surgery Center scheduled to open in February. 4. a new management team has been identified to oversee the relocation and operations (see key bio with name deleted until contractually secured) Given the current political environment and economic uncertainty, we have a LAG period which offers excellent timing for making this move. I have made these recommendations to Dan, Leal and relatives. Cost for relocation: 85K Cost for management services: 20K per month x three months = 60K. I will serve as interim CEO and make introduction to the turn-around business development team when contractually retained. Total: $145K C.

      • Apologies 10/13/2008
        Well, I’m not sure how to respond, the title is Dan of Imgine. For those 2 words to be in there is only going to create harm, I’m not sure how it could possibly help, but I guess the good news is, the truth, I didn’t type that. And the only other people there were my wife, a woman, and three dogs. I don’t believe in bashing women and it would be unwise to attempt to not support my wife. Whom I truly love. Again, I wrote the letter, and not the title. Not all of the investors understand me, and there is a few I’m not fond of myself. I definitely do not think of them as dh’s. My true feelings are not directed at any people, but as Christians see it, it’s what they do that we don’t like. Again, I apologize to any Christians who had to read that title, I didn’t write it. Just what we need, another Adcanced HealthScan mystery series. Christian Brother Dan

      • Heart Patient 10/13/2008
        Did you know Dan & John in Nov 1999? I did! Hi. My name is David. I have built a few of these imaging centers as a State of California General Contractor for John. Next to john, my brother Dan is the most knowledgeable (non cardiac-physician) person on this subject I have ever met. And quite frankly, it is starting to bother me reading about you investors BELIEFS, and I see all the ignorance. My brother has helped more people (AMERICAN PEOPLE) from succumbing to SCD (Sudden Cardiac Death) than anyone I know! LifeLine Imaging was built by Dan , John, and myself. And when most of the industry-experts ran from the truth, Dan was there to help those people in need. In 2004, the mortality rate dropped by a record 50,000 less deaths according to census bureau! This has never happened before in America prior to my little brother entering the heart disease market! Do I give Dan credit for this drop? Well, not without his mentor John, and the local cardiologists getting their share of the credit too. But to me my brother is a good man and a great brother. Soon after the grand opening of the first imaging center, while Dan was helping fill it up with cardiac patients I was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease which would soon require surgery. I never took the heart scan craze seriously back then; but had I listened to my little brother as a “heart expert”, instead of the “great salesman”; his lectures taken wisely as good advice would have made this whole heart condition (major surgery) a lot less painful. Awareness is the key. Dan has helped me with my ordeal, helping with the very young boys when I was down. Today I have a heart made of steel. (My aorta valve) I have several other open heart surgeries since then. ALL LIFE SAVING EVENTS! I believe in what my brother is doing today, and so should you. PS: It was my brother Dan that introduced me to Jesus (and trust me when I say - that wasn’t an easy sale either) that helped out when my heart changed for Christ; to me that says it all. I owe my eternal life to his persistence, and ultimately our Father God. God bless Danny and his medical imaging centers. Good Luck People. God Bless to you all! David

        • My call with imgine 11/11/2008
          I spoke with an investment salesman in Imgine. He said they still need 45k before dec 31st deadline by which the unit has to be moved inside the hospital. Our choices are 100% loss of capital or invest little more and make sure the unit is up and running. As like any salesman, they had nothing but rosy projections ($1500 income/unit/qtr) conveniently ignoring their lousy execution so far. I said I am not willing to buy any more units(which is what they wanted)but rethink if each unit person contributes a very minimal 'x' dollars . any case,the person's contact info is James Peck 877-520-0091 office 714-900-8116 cell I have 15k at stake

          • Waited so long--- 6/1/2009
            I guess I am just too tolerant that I am just now joining the group but, on the other hand, no one was nasty with me, they always returned my calls and gave what seemed to be reasonable excuses for the delay---after delay---after delay!!! However, I called again to check on progress and none of the phone numbers or websites are valid now and the ilness I am feeling tells me my $15000 is gone. I didn't even know who to contact so I just kept googling different names and came up with this group. I am going to contact the SEC, and any other group who may be able to help. However, I was involved in another of what turned out to be a scam. The person who said that all the money that will be confiscated will be eaten up in lawyer and receivership fees. Unfortunately, my money came from my IRA so, I have been told that I don't have the option of turning that in for an income tax deduction!!! But the group will be caught and punished in the worst way---all their money and possessions will be confiscated.

    • Just joined the group 6/1/2009
      I just wrote a comment but it doesn't seem to have been posted---just in case this is a repeat. I invested 2 years ago. I was talking to the imgine people, health scan people, etc. Today I tried to get through and there is no one. It took quite a while but I finally found your group here. I agree with the person who said that we will get nothing. I invested in 2 other companies but very small scale--$500 each. The first company was put into recievorship and all their assets were confiscated, sold at auction, and when the lawyers and the receivor were paid, I will get $10. The only way I will get anything back is to put as a loss on income tax. The other company is in the process of losing all their possessions, business and personal, and again it goes through a receivership. With this AHS investment, I have been told I can't use as a loss on my income tax because it was through my IRA. So I am royally screwed. I plan to turn any information in to anyone who will listen--SEC, FINRA, BBB, etc. This group is one of many out there who are just crooks!! If any AHS people want to dispute this, then WHY HAVE YOU NOT CONTACTED YOUR INVESTORS!!!??
