Concerning Rene figueira. His scam business goes way back , since 1980's. Somewhere in the 90's he met Anna Dimitriou and married her. Since today they have scammed more than 400 people. At this moment around 250 files are submitted to the french authorities, 15 in Greece. Many , but many have been scammed for 100, 80, 150 $ through his investment programs in internet and they do not bother. He promised 3,4,5, till 20% per month profit on capital. first month or maybe second gave the money and after (.:.). The typical story for aeroplanes and pyramids. He was smart emough to put all property and land to his wifes name and cash ????? unfortunately the amount is approximately 4-5 million euro. Some say less, some say more. Till last year Mrs. Dimitriou was desperately assuring the victims that the business is going well , with problems in transfering the investment profits from bank to bank. She learned well from the scam teacher. Why not, 24 hours together (or maybe not!). She chose the easy way to spend money. About the other two. !!!! What can someone say. They seemed good guys. BUT when the heat came out and had to choose : a) go against the thieves, or b) stick around and grab a good % of the cash, they picked B !! About 2 months ago Figueira left the country (greece), before he was found. Now he is (?) in Cotonou - Benin. ....trying to sell car elevators! Behind was a company wmi-management, owners: RENE FIGUEIRA - STELIOS KOUROUPIDIS.
The site must be now closed down. Hopefully many are saved from their super investments through UBS, HSBC (in the past) and now CITIGROUP as they say. And as Mercenary said in few words, what to expect when he promised 2X or 3X the capital. But does this mean he is in favour due to a smart scam? Should he not appear to the State judge and tell his story? And you should also listen. But make sure you don't have any cash with you, cause maybe you too will be invest! That's how good and sweet talking he is. And that is one of the criminal acts. No mercy. There is a site :
http://translate.google.com/translat...&hl=en&ie=UTF8 . http://www.espressonews.gr/default.a...1&artid=606696 is in greek but with pictures and alot of information about his way of acting. Also a very accurate site is fraud watchers.
I would like to advise people who think to invest: Avoid the above mentioned names and any company surrounded by them. You will not see your money back. At least this till today. If anyone wants, I can find the name of the lawyer who has this scam case in Greece as also in France.
