rene figueira - anna dimitriou - stelios kouroupidis - lina katsimente
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.

unbelievable.
We are 4 Cypriots located in Nicosia, Limassol and Pafos (Famagusta) being approached by Stelios Kouroupidis and Lina Katsimente 6 months ago. They introduced us to Rene Figueira and we were convinced to invested a sum of approximately 750,000 Euros in WMI Investments. They have showed us pictures of their office in Manhattan New York and pretended to be big time bankers doing business with CITI and other reputable banks. They also showed us agreements with CITI, BNP and other world prime banks according to which their company was able to handle big investments programs with high interest output. The agreements we signed with them were supposed to give us an output of 120% in 6 months plus the capital. The output was going to be paid in 6 equal monthly intallments starting in 30 days from contract signature. So, far we haven't seen a single Euro from this deal. I called them yesterday and Stelios said that we shouldn't worry because there has been a delay with the swifts. Are you guys sure that this is a scam? Anna Dimitriou said that Rene is in Benin to buy gold and there is nothing to worry about. After having seen Rene's picture in Espresso news I amd afraid that all that sweet talking from Anna Dimitriou and Lina Katsimente was only in effort to steal our money. Please people, mail me to " @yahoo.com " with the coordinates of the Greek lawyer in charge of this case. I cannot believe we have been caught that naive.

thomascyprus as you may see from previous posts this case is real. Is better to contact with authorities. I have asked from member "thesaloniki" to post any update can help all and such is not a PM or an e-mail. I should be more carefull asking an answer by e-mail from anyone, I should preffer an answer in public.
