Edelstein Asset Management Mark Roseman Kevin Peters Offer to sell diamonds and scammed us out of a fee they said was necessary to sell diamonds Laval Quebec
Contacted by Mark Rosman who said he got our name from Coloured Diamond Exchange in Toronto. Offered to sell our portfolio of coloured diamonds to someone in Hong Kong. Next day he called with an offer, but said we had to wire money to cover authentication insurance to Polygem Limited in Hong Kong. If our diamonds checked out, we would get this back. It is like a bond. It made sense to us. We wired money and then started doing more checking. They are not returning calls. An Internet search does not yield anything on Edelstein Asset Management. They do have a website which made us feel good, but we think it is just a fancy website set up to fool people like us. Polygem is not an insurance provider as they described. They got us for $195,000. We have contacted our local police who will contact police in Laval. This happened February 15, 2018.

You are welcome to contact us. These people got us for $195,000. I filed Ripoff report 1429557. We hired private investigator to try to find them. I don't know how you got our name but rest assured we have nothing to do with these scumbags. Please take the name Robert Hill off the title of your report. My guess is Ripoff Report should be able to do this for you,

This is in response to report labeled #2. It was filed before #1 above. They are very believable people. They stopped returning calls but then resumed. We even stopped the wire transfer. In the end we should have gone with our doubts. They are scammers.

These people are operating a very fraudulent operation. After they got our $195,000 they then said they needed more money for Hong Kong taxes. They said it would be returned once the transaction was complete. At that point we really started checking ... should have done it to begin with. They are not at the address ..2572 Boulevard Daniel Johnson, Laval, QC. We called the receptionist who said she had never heard of the company nor any of the people listed on the website. We hired a private detective who went to the building to verify our findings. We also tried to trace their phone number ..514-369-5310. It turns out it is an internet phone number which could be anywhere. We do believe they are in the Quebec, Canada area because our Verizon account listed cell towers in Quebec for their cell phones. We asked the receptionist at the address listed on the website if she received mail for them what she would do. She said she would have to return it. Someone later told me to send a certified return receipt piece of mail with a test document inside to the designated address. If they open and read it to you then you know the address is legitimate. The address listed is one of those office buildings where people have small offices and use common facilities like conference rooms. All I can say is beware. Only you can wire money.

We filed this as they stopped returning calls after we wired money, and this was same MO as another report. After an exhausting 48 hours and lots of help we have determined they are totally legitimate. They even offered to return our money.
