What is described by the poster of this report is called "an offer to purchase and request for a price" and "a response to a request for a price quote on something I own" Extortion requires that I threatened someone and demanded something from another person to prevent the threat from being carried out. Clearly, no such thing ever took place. This false claim against my husband and me is a desperate attempt to make me (and I am guessing my website - http://www.cheatauworld.ca ) go away. I am a victim of Andre Muran and his travel club scams (just Google it)
I posted to the Rip-Off Report about him and his scam in 2004. (Royal Club International, Andre Muran ) I sued him and his companies and won. The Judge in the case called what had happened to me at Andre Muran's hand "FRAUD". Andre Muran and his lawyer W. Murray Smith used slimy intimidation tactics as my case against them approached - including filing a 3.8 million dollar defamation suit against me for the report I placed on this website (of course, the night before trial- my suit against them- they offered to drop the defamation suit and agree to a withdrawal if I removed my post from the Rip-Off Report before trial the next morning) I have since set up a website that exclusively exposes Andre Muran and the scams he operates (Royal Club International, Chateau World, Elevations Resort, Royal Club Resorts, Royal Crown Resorts ) in Alberta.
I set that site up as a public service. I do not charge anything to anyone. I have never taken money from the poster of this report and demand proof that I ever have. The individual who posted this report clearly does not know what the words "extortion" and “fraud” mean. I did not threaten anyone. I did not demand money from anyone.
I am perfectly happy not to sell my website to "AM" - that was "AM's" idea, not mine. "AM" contacted me with an offer to buy... I did not contact anyone asking for anything. I was contacted with an offer to purchase something I own and was asked what I consider to be a fair price. I responded with what I consider to be a fair price. That is neither fraud nor extortion.
For a clear understanding of the word “fraud” one need only visit my site to see what the business practices of Andre Muran and his companies are. Finally, dragging Lea's name into this was a really interesting move. She is not only completely innocent of what is claimed in the false report, and has nothing to do with this except that she has done a couple of consumer reports that exposed Andre Muran's scams, she is a consumer reporter and a lawyer ... Brilliant move on "AM's" part. It is clear from the emails that the poster has already posted that the allegations made against me are not true. What is more, anyone can go to the website in question and see exactly why Andre Muran wants’ me to go away.
Ultimately, if what I had on my site were really false, Andre Muran and W. Murray Smith would follow through with their 3.8 million dollar defamation suit- but they don’t do that because I can prove every word is true and most of the proof is directly from the court record.
