I am a very big supporter of EM and can't wait to finally get to drive one on my 120 mile roundtrip commute to work, but I am extremely unimpressed with my issues during this stock offering.
I had pledged $500 to purchase stock as soon as the "testing the waters" phase opened. This is a large sum of money to me and I know it would take all the time available in order to save up by the time I could purchase. The first issue was of course that the offering required a minimum of $600 to purchase stock once it was available. This felt a little like a bait and switch to me, but I have faith in the company and realise that when dealing with the "government", things often change for no reason. I placed no blame on EM and managed to get $612 into my acount to reserve my shares on the final day. It felt great to be a part of something that could be so important.
25 days passed and I reach out to StartEngine because I had reached no communication about anything concerning the $612 that had been removed from my account. 15 days and several emails later it was determined that I switched some numbers when entering my information.
I was finally approved on Jan. 13th and I was just waiting to be notified by EM that the stock was mine. After receiving no communications from EM by the 20th I reached out to them via email to see if there might be another issue. On the 26th I received an email back stating that it had been forwarded to the Investor Relations Team.
I then received a short, form email stating that "my securities will be available for transfer as soon as the current offering is closed and the company is listed on the QTCQX."
For those of you who haven't fallen asleep already I apologize for being long winded, but I saddened by the fact that the only time I received any information about my purchase was after reaching out to both StartEngine and EM. I had hoped that this would be a much more fulfilling experience.
Now I wonder how long it will be before I hear anything more. Didn't the offering close on Feb. 1st? Has anybody else heard any news?
