Enforcement Division Requests Information About Oil and Gas Investments Guaranteed by Timeless Protect

Contact: Joe Rotunda, Director of Enforcement, at jrotunda@ssb.texas.gov

On Nov. 22, 2019, the Texas Securities Commissioner entered three Emergency Cease and Desist orders against Timeless Protect LLC.  The emergency actions accuse Timeless Protect of illegally, deceptively and fraudulently offering investments in oil and gas programs that are purportedly guaranteed by its Cash Back Program.

As described in the emergency actions, the company is allegedly enrolling investors in the Cash Back Program, depositing their funds in a trust account, commingling those funds with money obtained from other sources and concealing material information regarding its management and use of principal.

Timeless Protect allegedly claims funds will be available to pay returns to investors regardless of the profitability of the oil and gas investments or the solvency of the parties. The orders entered against Timeless Protect and associated companies are:
