Turhan Erel age 50 of Northbrook Illinois as Of 2022
This individual was employed by us to be a maintenance repair man with some management for rental apartments,( collecting rents from drop boxes made to Building LLC names ) located in Arlington Heights, and Wheeling Illinois.
He's first scam was to try and convince us to become a partner investor with him and others in a retirement care facility in another state that involved a 200,000 to $300,000 investment or higher, after months of consideration, we did not feel comfortable with the investment out of state in a field we were not familiar with, and backed out.
Shortly after that Turhan Erel moved on with his next scam and financial fraud against us and our twnants as well as stolen multiple items and materials purchased on Home Depot card based on lies that the items and products will be used to remodel units. They were not and are now missing, flooring, paint , doors, etc.
inthe buildings that he neglected and did not perform any repairs for months he proceeded with lies to some tenants about problems with the account where they writing checks or money orders to, and instructed them to pay him zelle direct to 224-892-8770 AxeGlobal inc while he was lying to us the tenant needed extra time to pay or some other bs story.
While we were told the units were vacant being remodeled he situated new tenants without our knowledge and permission! Set them up as
He became a imposter copying, rightful owners leases for new tenants and amending them in his name, claiming he was the owner with his personal cell phone number, [email protected] address linked to axeglobal Inc. Instructing unknowing new tenants to send him two times security deposit, first months rent, and last months rent via Zelle.
he then proceeded to contact those victimized tenants and demand early payments for December as he knew his time was running out.
These tenants became his victims as they were led to believe he was the property owner when he signing falsified leases under "landlord" as Turhan Erel .
When confronted about his fraud of receiving rent payments and deposits that should have been made to property LLC names and given to us over various months, Turhan wrote numerous checks from his personal account to falsely claim to have the intension to pay the amounts owed back. Claiming he manages other properties and didn't recognize some of the names on zelle payments to be our tenants ....only to have all the checks bounce. He's last know addresses are 2539 windrush lane, Northbrook Illinois and address on checks as 1445 Shermer road apt 5A Northbrook Illinois 60062.
He thwn followed up with more lies that he would bring cash to cover thousands Of missing rents that were not passed on to us, as owners especially from recent tenants ,and he took off !
His wife is on the scam with him, because she reported him missing to the Northbrook police case number 22–22141 at midnight Friday beginning of December 2022 and the next morning we were informed that he was visiting our newer tenants demanding early payments for December 2022.
Arlington Heights police has reports with all victims coming forth Case No. AHP22-02741
As well as Wheeling Police department has a file on him. He has outstanding warrants from other states , has multiple financial fraud convictions from the past has had 24 addresses in last 2 years and has multiple leans against Him !!! as well as a bankruptcy from another court case pulling a scam selling wheat as a import export company.
