Thibault Danjou Is a Con Artist
French Citizen / Singapore Permanent Resident / DOB: July 31st,1963
Thibault Philippe Paul Danjou is a con artist in Singapore, Tokyo and Paris. Born in France, he lived in Tokyo married to Japanese wife so he speaks Japanese.
He worked for TOTO Ltd. in Japan (94-97), Saint Gobain-Hanglas K.K. in Japan (97-04), AGC Flat Glass Asia Pacific Pte Ltd in Singapore (04-06) where he was let go in less than a year. He worked for glass companies in Middle East after 06, but he was let go from 2 companies both in less than a year. He returned to Singapore. He registered Augusta Pte Ltd in Singapore as Managing Director.
Augusta Pte Ltd is basically a paper company and used to scam companies and investors to transfer money. He asks clients to make advance payment to consult business to this bank account in Singapore.
My company was asked by Thibault Danjou to make an initial payment to Augusta Pte Ltd in Singapore and he would take care of Singapore company registration. He explained that the initial payment included the entire registration fee, lawyers fee and corporate secretary fee.
We asked for registered documents, but, he repeatedly confirmed everything was controlled with number in Singapore and there were no documents. We asked for registration numbers and he provided 1 page PDF.
Later on, we received an e-mail from his lawyer in Singapore that we owe him money because the lawyers fee and corporate secretary fee were outstanding. Thibault asked us to transfer funds and he never paid them. This was the first open sesame to Thibault Danjou's scam.
We asked the lawyer to send us all the related documents and we found out there was a massive booklet of corporate contract and stock holder's rules. Thibault created and registered his own corporate contract and stock holder's rules of our company without our approval. His took our funds, registered himself as stock holder and he planned to own our company.
He has also kept the company's DBS Bank cards, checks and security package. We requested these items for months and his response was he never received them and he was checking with DBS Bank.
When we clarified everything with the lawyer, he explained DBS Bank issued everything on the same month and the package had been there for months but Thibault kept them. He even made himself a company's bank card with his password. Meaning, he could withdraw any amount anytime. He thought he could take over the entire company by keeping everything and informing us Singapore was all digital and there was no information except for registration number.
Another incident we had, we kindly issued a Corporate American Express linked to our company's account to avoid conversion rate hectic during business trips. We only approved for 1 lunch with someone we asked him to meet during the first month. The first month, 1 lunch, taxi and 1 drink was charged. We approved these expenses. The second month, we didn't offer any because there was no business lunch or dinner to invite someone. The second month bill arrived with over JPY500,000 (USD5,000). He charged his coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks on daily basis.
We went to talk with our accountant and requested to American Express to send the mid-month bill - turned out he was spending further buying his holiday pacakges, flights, son's train tickets, home goods, etc.
We asked him to return the credit card but he refused. This was the beginning of revealing this con artist.
As a result, he escaped from Japan on the day we accused him. He is in Singapore now because his wife works in Singapore. We contacted him repeatedly, but, he never responded and he still owes a large amount of funds to our company.
He is still around as if he is a high-end business consultant. In reality, he was struggling with money. We remember the first time we met introduced by mutural fundraiser, he didn't have money to invite for a cup of tea and gave me the bill in Singapore.
For few months, there was not even once he split the bill or took care of the bill. Even for Starbucks. He expected our company to pick up the bills and he always convinced to go to specific places. He never paid for coffee, lunch, dinner or taxi and he called himself an investor / business consultant.
He looks innocent and he wears backpacks on business look. We are still waiting to receive the money he owes and compensation to settle the damages he caused to our company.
