Complaint Review: Satere Karenhatase - Nationwide

Bottom line: If Satere/Scott speaks the truth about anything, it is so you will believe a much, much bigger lie.  

MODE OF OPERATION: Satere is about 6'2" and 190-210 lbs. He is Mohawk – Native North American. He has as commanding walk, is a perfect gentleman, will insist on holding doors and favors the ladies, while demanding better treatment from the men of him and of their female co-workers. He works from libraries (for free wi-fi) and coffee shops, often with his own tea bag so he can get water and work from wifi on his phone and computer.

"FAKE BUSINESS" CARDS: He claims to be “Owner” of HSSD Depository (never built), and Ambassador for Aotearoa Embassy of New Zealand (a fake) never formed and not recognized by the government of New Zealand.  (**Call New Zealand Embassy in Washington, DC to confirm, as I did**). His business cards are impressively elaborate and were paid for with funds stolen from me. 

The HSSD Depository was planned for but never built. (I learned directly from a contact of Satere’s, who could also confirm his other name: Scott Gabriel).

DESTITUTE: Initially, I gave help to him in very dire circumstances, believing his story of broken-heart by a girlfriend he publicly slanders on his website. Weeks later, he began "helping me" and then 2 months later, required a signature on a confidentiality agreement with the fake embassy seal. In emails, he often copies a "legal" email address in correspondence. He insists on "his excellency" and H.E. on his business cards for all purposes. 

SECURITY: He speaks of a "head of security" - but I learned directly from said security, that he has never provided security for Satere, beyond training local law-enforcement or protection details. Satere gets a financial compensation "thank you" for making the connection. Satere inflates security's "regular rate" by about 3 times, then acts like he can get you a deal to have security for so much less... when the "so much less" is actually the normal rate. 

HOME: This man has no known permanent address. His slate-gray 2015 Dodge Ram 3500 has a lift with automatic steps and extended mirrors. He has Nevada plates is listed for repossession for lack of payment since October of 2016. As of June 2, he had “Haudensaunee” lettered on the back of the tailgate. He has three different addresses in Las Vegas, Nevada listed on paperwork for vehicle, bank account, insurance, etc., but told me that his address for at least 1.5 years (as of June) had been Air B&B. He claims to work on reimbursements but has no money.

STOLEN: The Microsoft Surface book Pro in his possession was stolen from me in Atlanta, Georgia between June 2-4, 2017. As of Friday, June 2, he is no-longer associated with my organization, yet still lists my organization on his website, LinkedIn and other public profiles. He has been requested multiple times to return the computer and refuses. Computer listed as stolen on NCIC. 

MONEY: Do not, under any circumstances give him money for any reason to pay for anything, if you’d ever like to see it again. Do not pay for things - ever - as he has a way of manipulating you into do it "for your own good" because he offered to "help you" with his high-end clients... so all he does/has must be high-end, of course.

He has a very well-planned and complicated story. His method is to draw you in with charm and offer of elaborate help, drown you in so much information and tasks, while he demands that you follow his instructions and financial requirements without question, then berating you when you cannot complete his expectations.

TARGET: Now, that I have spoken to a couple of people who "know him" I understand he preys on single women and independent contractors/self-employed who are hurting for funds or looking for ways to make investments. His truck, his personality and the nice things he has make him seem legitimate. He is nothing of the sort. He is a master manipulator and was abusive to me in every way, but physical.

When he doesn't get what he wants, he turns mean and condescending. I personally have proof of that now too.

Sadly, you will think initially that you can help him out of a very difficult situation. It is not the case. Run the other direction.
