(((NAME(S) REDACTED DUE TO PERCEIVED HARASSMENT / CYBERSTALKING / CYBERBULLYING / REVENGE POST))) | RIPOFF REPORT POST-PUBLICATION CONTENT REVIEW: EDITORIAL REDACTIONS | SCAMMERS OF OLD PEOPLE British Columbia
EDITOR’S COMMENT(1/15/2021): 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 father, (((REDACTED))), in (((REDACTED))), British Columbia, in October, 2016. (((REDACTED))) proposed an investment in a new project called (((REDACTED))), and he promised us it would pay an annual return of 40%. The prospect was very interesting and my wife and I gave him a $175,000 US dollar check; all of our retirement earnings. Time passed and last March we asked for our money as my wife needed surgery - her cancer had returned. That’s when our nightmare began. (((REDACTED))) has never answered our phone calls and his family always says that he’s away on a business trip. We were so depressed and with no money to hire an attorney. Then we found out on the web that he was traveling everywhere and he was posting the pictures of his trips with a good looking girl who we realized was her partner in crime; the same girl, (((REDACTED))) from (((REDACTED))), Ontario, that was with him when they came to pick up the check. We tried to get some help from the Police but again they told us to hire an Attorney. We are desperate and my wife still hasn’t had her surgery; time is not on her side. Please stay away from these scammers, (((REDACTED))) and (((REDACTED))), because you will never see your money again.

I met (((REDACTED))) through at a workplace event that took place this summer and he was trying to lure a bunch of people into his scheme before he even explained what it involved. He told us his son (((REDACTED))) was doing extremely well and that he (((REDACTED))) had been investing all of his extra funds with him and getting ludicrous returns. He tried taking a bunch of our phone numbers to call us for a meeting but I have never been one to invest in anything that sounds too good to be true because it always is. I saw this report through a private facebook group in the area warning our neighbors of crooked looters who pretend to be our friends and I couldnt be more relieved that I didnt fall for this, I am going to have to ask my co workers if they have seen this report and ask them if any of them got scammed as well because im sure if any of them did invest they either already know theyre screwed or they have no idea they will never see their money again.
