BTW, the Principal Financial Group runs the Principal U.S. Property Account
sham through the "Principal Real Estate Investors" which manage the account.

Interestingly, these highway bandits have acquired more property in San
Antonio TX, in Q3 2009

Hey, found another one.

Somewhere in the Between by Streetlight Manifesto, within five seconds of the song starting. XD

Check out the version from "Across the Universe" from the film as sung by Jim Sturgess. The introduction is an easy connection to the dreaded cello part of the Canon.

Also, see "Blue Sunny Day" by Jonathan Coulton; I hear it in the piano verse.

I had contacted an Orlando law firm that deals with stock and financial issues and they also didn't take the case, they left me with the feeling that what Principal is doing is perfectly legal. That actually makes it worse than the Madoff screwing. We need to rattle every possible cage of every elected official, congressmen, governors, attorneys general, AARP, anybody that has some clout, and call attention to the legal rape of American workers in these times of economic disaster when whatever money we have left goes to bail out millionaire executives. That's the stuff revolutions are made of.

i wasn't able to identify a lawyer who would take this case. i've contacted
two firms and haven't got a response from them yet. if you do, let me
know.

the argument is that if Principal cannot pay us the money, it should declare
bankruptcy. also, it did not clearly disclose to the investors that they
could 'limit' (read "freeze") withdrawl. they did not publish this
information on their website, not even on the pages available to the
investor.
i don't have a lot of money invested in this account, but still it is an
amount. i believe in God, the Angels, the Prophets, Revealed Books, Heaven
and Hell, and the Day of Judgement, so i'm hoping to collect then.

I just stumbled on this website and I also have money tied up in the Principal Separate scam. I would be pleased to join in any legal action, civil or criminal, against Principal.
We have to get what's rightfully ours or somebody will have to pay big time, one way or another.

This was a very enlightening aritcle, Joe. While I was aware of some of this information, Google has certainly spread its tentatcles further and deeper than before. That's comforting.

joelevi — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:17:39 -0000

Put the .menc files back on the original Windows Mobile device and start the steps over again. So long as you still have access to the original device and it hasn't been reset, you should be good to go! Otherwise, all gone, bye bye.

Re: Recovering data from your .menc file

joelevi — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:16:19 -0000

ActiveSync over the PC might work, if the Explorer view sees the files as "normal" files ("book.xls" rather than "book.xls.menc"), otherwise, you could email the files to yourself, or obtain an FTP client and upload them to yourself.

Re: Principal Financial Group 401(k) “Black Tuesday” Restrictions

I'd be happy to sue my ex-employer e.magination network in Baltimore MD for not giving me a copy of the group contract, and for offering this high risk US Properties Separate Account as part of our 401K plan.

Also, Principal should obviously be sued for their fraudulent actions - for not informing their clients of the "built-in contractual agreement", and putting a freeze on the withdrawls. If they don't have the liquidity to honor the withdrawl requests, they should declare bankruptsy.

Any lawyers willing to help? Is anyone in the government listening?

sooo... this sounded great... except i cut/paste the files to my laptop, and then deleted them from the card, moved the card to another (non-encrypted) phone; then i attempted to put the card back in the original handset and copy them back onto the card to attempt salvaging them- no dice.

any ideas?

I have lost over $80000 in this account. I will do all I can to warn people not to let this company touch their money, and I would advise everyone else to do the same. This "fixed income" investment was more volatile than any of their other investments..............should have left it in a high risk investment , it would have been safer.

I was joking with a friend the other day about wanting to create a website for just this reason. Just think of how quick and painless a mortgage could get paid off. I was bored today and found your site through Google. Good Luck on your endeavor. Sorry no donation, will save my buck for web hosting my Mortgage donation :)
