Complaint Review: (((NAME(S) REDACTED DUE TO PERCEIVED HARASSMENT / CYBERSTALKING / CYBERBULLYING / REVENGE POST))) - (((NAME(S) REDACTED DUE TO PERCEIVED HARASSMENT / CYBERSTALKING / CYBERBULLYING / REVENGE POST))) British Columbia

EDITOR’S COMMENT(1/26/2021):  Ripoff Report strongly believes in the First Amendment, especially when consumers are truthfully warning other consumers about potential frauds, scams, rip-offs or the like by shady individuals or businesses.  Ripoff Report is by consumers, for consumers…and we want to keep it that way!  Unfortunately this Report was posted and, upon additional information, appears to have been primarily for the purpose of bullying or harassment.  In many instances Ripoff Report will reach out to the author of the Report to obtain further information.  In other instances, enough information is provided to Ripoff Report to warrant redactions without reaching out to the author.  Ripoff Report is working to combat tactics that are perceived to be cyberharassment, cyberstalking, cyberbullying and/or what is generally considered a “revenge post” as we do not condone such behavior. 

The Report was brought to our attention and, upon review of compiled information (which will be done on a case by case basis without any obligation as resources allow), and at Ripoff Report’s sole discretion, information that did not conform to current policies and/or the identifying information relating to the individual(s) and/or business(es) named in this “Report” and any subsequent comments thereto have been editorially redacted as indicated by the following “(((REDACTED)))” or (((REDACTED DUE TO PERCEIVED HARASSMENT / REVENGE POST)))”.

CONSUMERS:  Be kind.  Keep it honest.  Keep it fair.  Stick to the facts.  Do your research.  Keep the dirty laundry in the laundry hamper…not on Ripoff Report.

PLEASED TO SEE SUCH EFFORTS?  YOU CAN HELP RIPOFF REPORT COMBAT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES:  Ripoff Report, as resources allow, is working towards combatting Cyberharassment, Cyberstalking, Cyberbullying and/or other problems such as what is generically called “revenge posts” that can be riddled with personal commentary and/or allegations that can be serious.   Ripoff Report would love to be able to timely address each and every review request we receive, however, this takes resources.  If you think this is a worth-while endeavor, we encourage you to make a donation so that we can expand the resources that we can devote to this project.  You can make a non-tax deductible donation by clicking HERE NOW or learn a little more by visiting our “Donate to our Efforts” page.  The more resources we have, the more resources we can devote to this project and other forward thinking and positive initiatives like it.

Thank you!

NOW TO THE EDITORIALLY REDACTED POSTING(S):

I met (((REDACTED))) through his wife (((REDACTED))) and his friend/partner. (((REDACTED))) introduce himself as Attorney who specializes in investments and he proposed that I invest my husband and I's retirement fund with a value of 185K with the promise that he only makes safe investments that he guarantees will bring in profits.

He proposed to buy a Stocks of(((REDACTED))) a mine company in Mexico that he claimed was poised to ignite a frenzy of profits. He commented to me that he had insider information from various persons in New York working in big trading firms. The company name (((REDACTED))) and he said that he was so confident in the company that he gave it the name of wife name (((REDACTED))).

We decided to follow his advice as it seemed a golden opportunity to make a great profit off our hard-earned savings and have an even better retirement.

We paid him, as he asked, in cashier checks. He claimed this was for taxes purposes and because he was the Attorney of the company it didn't raise any concerns. Also, he said that the profits were going to be invested in the (((REDACTED))) because they are "known bank secrecy havens."

We wanted to hire a lawyer but the monies invested was all we had.

We investigated and learned that when (((REDACTED))) sold us the stocks, they were unregistered but in his possession, and we also learned that (((REDACTED))) is not new in this kind of frauds.

We still don't know how the SEC and other authorities let people like (((REDACTED))) with his fraudulent background, still practice taking advantage of innocent elderly investors.

Stay away from all companies where (((REDACTED))) is involved.
