On the 19th of October, 2018 I received an email in response to a notice I had posted on Google + communities for a business partner or financing partners. This email iwas the first in the collection of emails I received from a person representing himself as Martin Kohler.
As I always do in these matters having been scammed once before, I checked him out on a number of anti-scamming website and did not come up with any flags. We corresponded back and forth and he eventually sent me a copy of an agreement named Confidential Working Agreement. (Copy enclosed Section 3).
After reviewing this, I suggested we Skype or have a phone conversation. His response was he was toobusy. This response plus the phone conversation I had with his associate, Mary Niessen who claimed to work at the Royal Bank at 5700 Yonge Street, Toronto caused bells to go off. More so after Ms. Neissen requested an upfront payment in cash of USD$16,500. She requested I meet with her at the RBC branch, hand over the cash and then she would deposit CAN$2.5 M into my BMO business account.
I made a report to the RBC Fraud Department of the RBC on November the 12th in regard to a Ms Mary Neissen representing herself as an employee at the Royal Bank branch at 5700 Yonge Street, Toronto.
I spoke to a gentleman named Bruce at the fraud or security office at RBC central who took the details and said I would hear back. I have heard nothing. He actually was the one who advised me there was no Mary Neissen in the RBC HR data base. I then contacted the manager at the 5700 Yonge Street branch, Mr Sean Kim who advised me the same.
I emailed him the documents I received from this Mary Neissen and again, I have not heard back.
It appears Ms Neissen is a scammer and represents herself as working for the Foreign Payments Security Department of the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) and in particular, the branch at 5700 Yonge Street in Toronto, Canada.
If you review the letter this woman provided (Attached. Section 5) you will see the email address is fake. [email protected]. As I understand RBC only uses the following format: [email protected]
She advised me I had to arrive in Toronto for the meeting at the branch with USD$16,500 CASH to consummate $2.5 Million financing her associate had arranged for my company with a middle east investment fund (See agreement Section 3) that invested in projects involving children and the environment.
Needless to say, the flags raised by the requirement for an advance fee of CASH, the phony email address, the fact that MARY NEISSEN was not an employee of the RBC and the phony department she supposedly worked for at RBC were more than enough for me to scrap the deal.
I am most concerned that I have reported this fraudulent action to two people at RBC and have yet to hear back. Does RBC condone this sort of thing or do you people just sweep it under the rug as you do not like adverse publicity?
I would hate to think that Ms Neissen IS an actual employee at RBC and carries out this kind of fraud under the assumed name of Mary Neissen.
