Almost all of my holdings were always in 1st or 2nd place to "sell" but never did. There was always some excuse why they weren't moving and exciting stories about why I should be buying more. I suspected that I was being taken and when I stopped buying, he stopped calling and did not return my calls. My only consolation at the time is that I actually liked the majority of the pieces and even hung some of them up.
Imagine my surprise (after 8+ years) when I got a voice message from Nick Poulos (apparently they also change their names) stating that my portfolio had "just landed on his desk" after I was "lost in the shuffle" and he was anxious to "sell" my pieces "quite soon".
I did a bit of digging on the Internet and found this site so I thought I would share the "experience". I would love to be part of a class action suit but it looks like the Canadian BBB may just be on their payroll.
I would also love to know the details of Maria's settlement.

Con man is my brother-in-law

I spent years trying to convince my husband's brother to stop, but the way he was living was too exciting to him. Karma did bite him in the rump, if it makes you feel any better. He is now divorced, poor, and a real shlump. Now he is conning the Rabbis in Montreal, hiding behind his new facade - that of an orthadox Jew. He went from conning Nuns out of their life savings to sculking around with the Lubavitchers and they have no interest in the truth.
I can provide any information that is legally requested for any lawsuits. I and my children heard and saw a lot in those years. It is not too late to get organized. There are thousands of you. Good luck. You all worked to hard for your money to let this one go.
I cannot go into too much detail here, but there are many family members of all these guys in Montreal that were sickened by their behavior and would feel better putting things right. One small victory if you people organize yourselves. It is a very small community here, and many people knew what they were doing to our neighbours in the States. Go for it. Don't let these guys keep you 8th in the line - push in!

While understandably upset with my posting a report here prior to speaking with him (my apologies Nick) I was provided some interesting information (which I verified independently) about this site. But, what's done is done. It's often said comments made in haste out of frustration can be regrettable.
My current perception of Galerie Concorde is that they are willing to work to resolve any issues and do what they can to keep their customers satisfied.
Bottom line - If you want an opportunity to right your perceived wrongs with this company contact your broker or, contact the company and ask that your account be reassigned to another broker. You have everything to gain.
