Complaint Review: Patrick Castielle

Patrick Castielle, co-founder of Maison De Castielle, in partnership with Olinda Castielle, whose real name is Olinda Borrggen, both from Sweden have perfected their art of ripping investors off. They run websites and business that are almost believable and present themselves in a professional manner. However there are holes in the story if you care to look as they will never provide any documentation which will prove anything they are saying. I met Olinda through her facebook page where she promotes her clothing line of Maison De Castille.

I had the misfortune of complimenting her work and that I thought it had big business potential. She contacted me back informing me that they were raising capital and I was transferred to Patrick Castille. He gave me stories about how well they had been doing and were raising 100,000$ for 3% which was minimum investment. In the meantime aside from his passport (which is real), he provided me false IRS letter and a number of unverifiable documents. We agreed to a 1% share purhcase fo 33,000$ with amount to be paid over a year.

Patrick was to provide me company registration documents after initial payment and he never did. I forgot and didnt follow up either. He promised that in case in this first year I decided not to continue with this investment he would refund full amount. I statrted making payments, anyway half way through he offers me a bonus payment if i paid the remaining payments faster, a share of profits from their book called 100 orgasms. I paid up to 28,750$ and when time for payment came from his side he started making issues about how I was slow in payments and that i wasnt serious about the business and etc etc. I demanded my principal back he promised to return it and in the end refused to.

They have done this before:

He used the relationship he developed with me over time with things I had shared with him, my wishes and moments of challenges to position his propositions. Frankly I fell for it. Instinctually I knew something was missing but I never cared to dig deeper, foolish of me. Their address is fake, their company has no records, only way is to trace them through the payments systems and bank transfer and for that a police report is to be filed which i will in Sweden as starting point. I doubt i will recover anything ever but I will make sure their capability to scam others is as limited as possible hence this post and the legal channels I will challenge them in. They are not business people, they are scammers, he will write anything in contracts promises never intended to be fulfilled. They dont provide any strong evidence of their work/business, nothing you can track them by.
