Complaint Review: Rahim Shaker Doodran

I, Peyman Taheri solemnly declare that I was scammed through an acquaintance who lives in Spain, called Mr. Rahim Shaker. (+34-628- 08-2082).

On June 2020, I received an offer from the said gentleman that; A group of American Investors are interested in procurement of cryptocurrencies in large numbers and surcharge 10% fee as broker’s fee.

As I found the offer attractive, I sent this gentleman a service agreement whereby I declared terms & Conditions & account coordinates for the purchase/transfer of such cryptocurrencies and the professional fees in regards.

Unfortunately, they never signed and returned the agreement and as I haven’t heard back from them, I considered the deal annulled. Then, due to my family issue, I had to take a trip to Iran and join my family on July 2020.

To my surprise, a year later on Aug 30, 2021 a lady called Cindy Frank wire transferred $11.500.00 to my Company’s Account, (Smartrex Union Trust, LLC) without prior notice.

Then I was contacted by Mr. Rahim Shaker to inform him that such a wire transfer took place on the above date.

As I was in Iran, I informed Mr. Rahim Shaker that I’m unable to carry out the promised service due to two main reasons:

1.   There’s no Agreement in place.

2.   I am in Iran and I don’t have access to American Cryptocurrency websites.

Then Mr. Shaker asked me to refund the money to the sender’s Account.

I immediately intended to refund the money but due to an unknown reason, the swift did not go through. (Apparently, the sender inactivated her account in order not to receive the swift).

Then I was so naive to accept another account to transfer the whole balance of $11.500 to Suntrust Bank, something I did immediately and this was the beginning of a problem with Wells Fargo at sight ( as I received an email from the bank that I was not allowed to make a swift transfer from a sanctioned Country, Iran).

Then, it seems that the sender took advantage of this action and claimed that the service was not provided by Smartrex Union Trust LLC and made a claim for a full balance refund to the sending bank, something Wells Fargo did without my consent and transferred the remaking balance of $9.027 to Mrs. Cindy Frank.

 What is not clear to me is as follows:

1.   Why wells Fargo can arbitrarily decide the claim is legitimate and allow my money to be transferred to another account while they have a record of a wire transfer $11.500 to SunTrust bank?

2.   Why they closed my account due to suspicious activity while they didn’t consider the compensation claim as suspicious from another party?

I believe what Wells Fargo has done is suspicious activity and the one who was scammed is Me and my Company.

Hence, I need my money back plus the Restoration of dignity as I am being defamed by Wells Fargo and scammed accordingly.
