This is the fifth in what turned into a series of articles. Here is the fourth and here is the next.
I’m going to use this post to keep an up-to-date list of the company names, aliases, and addresses Helen and Matt are using.
If you have been doing business with any one of these people or businesses, they are all Helen Joanne Pearce operating under a different name. If you do a Google search for any of these, you’ll mostly find the blog articles and online comments that Helen herself has created to make it appear that her company is legit.
Just for reference, in 2014 the address on Helen’s drivers license was 52 Riley Rd #231, Kissimmee, FL, which is a UPS Store. I wouldn’t normally publish a person’s home address here, but this is not her home address.
| Company | Aliases | Connections |
| KACW Investments, Inc. (2004-06)
Originally 2855 SE 50th St, Ocala, FL (single-family home) Changed to 12472 Lake Underhill Rd #143, Orlando, FL (UPS Store) in 2005 |

| Dun and King Investments (2008)
1926 N. John Young Pkwy #128, Kissimmee, FL (Convenience store? with mailboxes) |
Registered to Neleha K. Dun, Tracy L. King, Morgan P. Jones, Katy B. Dery.
Online comments mention sending checks to Joanne Pearce. |
“Neleha” is (a)Helen backwards. Neleha’s website biography says she has a law degree from Oklahoma City University and to have attended the University of Central Oklahoma. Helen’s Facebook profile says she went to Oklahoma University, and Matt’s says he went to Oklahoma State. Matt and Helen are both from Oklahoma. I haven’t tried hard to locate her “partners” in this company, but note she has a very close relative with the same first name and middle initial as one of them. |

Helen Peace, Matt Pear, Matt Peace | Helen and Matt changed their names on Facebook, but they are the same Facebook accounts as before. Operating a GoFundMe project and a Facebook page Luke 6:30, ostensibly to raise funds for a homeless shelter and to hand out necessities to the homeless in Orlando. Location of “homeless” photos. |
| At this point, Helen began advertising website design and search engine optimization (SEO) services along with real estate investing. I’m not making any claims about her website design and SEO services; they may be entirely legit. My only comment as a person who has done Internet marketing for twenty years is that generally, anyone who tells you they can get your legitimate company listed on the first page of Google using organic means (i.e. not paid placement) is pulling your leg. | ||

Not registered in Florida or North Carolina. North Carolina requires foreign companies (companies from out of state) to register to do business in the state. It does not appear that Home Run Capital is registered to do business in NC. Testimonials claim they’ve been in business since at least April 2015, but the domain was not registered until November 15, 2015. |

Annie Pearce Annie Tate-Pearce |
Registered 5/20/16 using Domains by Proxy to hide her identity. LinkedIn profile claims she has been working there since March 2009 or March 2013 but the domain wasn’t registered until 2016. Claims a Marketing degree from the University of Central Florida from 2007. Her recommendations on LinkedIn come in clumps all on the same day and all from people claiming to be in her industry, not from customers. The “Easy Seek” company LinkedIn page here claims it started in 2007 and that the company (?) has a degree from UCF in English Literature from 2012. |
