Fraud

This post is to inform anyone currently involved in investments with one R. Beshay in the Toronto, Ontario area that Mr. Beshay has stolen close to $2,000,000.00 (two million) dollars through fraudulent means from unsuspecting victims in the Toronto area.  This dollar amount is only what is currently known; he has most likely defrauded in the past, and it is thought that he continues to defraud at this time.  This case is currently open with the authorities.  He has found his victims primarily by befriending them through Christian churches (Coptic, Korean and other) that he "joins".  His pattern is that he donates small amounts of money to the church to show his "generosity" and gain congregation members' trust.  Then, he offers certain members of the congregation an opportunity to invest in various paper companies, all with the intention of giving a portion of the profits back to the church.  He then fails to pay back any profits, claiming that he is having "banking problems".  This goes on for months, during which time he lies compulsively to the victim, to the point that it's obvious the money has been stolen.  Mr. Beshay finally tells the investor that the money has been lost through bad investments.  At that point, he investor sees that he has been completely victimized by Mr. Beshay.  Complete affinity fraud. Some of his victims are not affiliated with a church; they come to him as friends of friends in both the Egyptian and Canadian communities.  He gains their trust by flaunting wealth and spending significant amounts of money treating them to expensive dinners, drinks, and entertainment.  If you have associations with this man, this post is to inform you of his character and alleged crimes.  Do not invest any monies with him.
