A New Scammer in the Business Market

If you own a business and are looking for financing and are approached by a woman by the name of MARY NEISSEN and a guy by the name of MARTIN KOHLER, run for cover and report them to your local police department.They are scammers. She 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. However, a phone call to the manager of this branch reveal the RBC does not have a department with this name and no record of a Mary Neissen working at that branch. 

Now this is not too surprising given the following;

A quick check of the email address she provided: mary.neissen@rbcanada.ca turned out to be phony as RBC only uses the following format: info@rbc.com.

Then the second flag; she advised me I had to arrive in Toronto with $16,500 CASH to consummate a $2.5 Million financing deal her associate, Martin Kohler, had supposedly arranged for my company with a middle east investment fund that SUPPOSEDLY invests in projects involving children and the environment. This company's name for what it is worth is TEHRREQ PACIFIC GROUP and they are apparently located at KING FAISAL BIN ABDULAZIZ ROAD, AL TOUBAUSHI AREA, PO BOX 293, DAMMAM 31411, KSA or as commonly known, Saudi Arabia.

However, the flags raised by the requirement for an advance fee of CASH, the phony email address, the fact that MARY NEISSEN is not an employee of the RBC (this further verified by a phone call to the RBC HR department) and the phony department she supposedly worked for at RBC were more than enough for me to scrap the deal. 

I have listed them on www.ripoffreport.com, have provided a file to the local police and have written and provided the fake documents to the Royal Bank of Canada fraud and security department. They will be listed on more anti-scam sites over the next couple of weeks. I am also sending a file to the Ontario police and the FBI.

i will also have information on any associates in next few weeks. In the meantime, the next post.following  are images are of the letter I received from Ms Neissen on fake Royal Bank letterhead.
