Rodolfo "Rudy" Villareal Jr. Rudy Scammer Thief Fraud Con Artist Lier Ponzi San DiegoInternet, California

Definitely sounds like Rudys handy work. He has absolutely no remorse for what he does. He will steal from and cheat anyone that gives him a chance. Send me your name and number to this email tthumbsandiego@gmail.com and I will give you a call. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know how you feel and what it does to a family as well. I will tell you what I know and help get you started. I want nothing from you. I just want to see Rudy get what he deserves. I will be there the day they throw his a** in jail!

The original address he gave me was for La Harina Ct., and then I got the Avenida de los Lobos address. Avenue of the Wolves... quite fitting.

Well my story is that I came into this through a friend whom I trust. This person vouched for Rudy. Thru this contact Rudy said that he had a church friend that needed to get money out of his hedge fund immediately for a family emergency (can't remember if it was healthcare related or what), but anyway because the contract term was not up for this person who had all their money tied up in Rudy's fund, they were willing to pay a 20% fee to have someone else take their place because they needed to get out of it NOW.

All that needed to happen was for me to "invest" in his fund and we could get that 20% fee after about three weeks when the contract was up. I say ok and, like an idiot, I wired him the money the same day. Three weeks came and went and there's an excuse about some bond sale that needed to happen, and he needs more time. Again, we wait and ask him for details, again there's some sort of excuse. Then he says the funds have been frozen by the bank or the government or whoever and that he was going to try and get us the funds through another deal he was working on. Rinse and repeat for many many months. Finally, I smell the BS and decide to do some research and end up here.

As I'm reading through all of the comments, my heart sank and I felt like I was going to be sick. I have (what for me is) a lot of money that I'm now kissing goodbye to. Just as tax season is rolling around, too. I'm pissed off at myself for falling for this, and that rage now has turned into a quest for justice. My friend that introduced us is of course embarrassed but maintains that he has every intention of paying me back and there's no reason to believe otherwise and that Rudy just needs more time and he has had a string of bad investments. I'm totally convinced of the opposite, so here I am trying to make the best of a terrible situation that I got myself in.

Thanks for the link, I'll do some research there.

I don't have a lot of resources, and that means I can't part with this as easily as some of the wealthier people here who can make that money back quickly. Not trying to minimize their loss in any way at all, but I'm saying I'm feeling the sting pretty hard. So yes, I'm definitely a victim and I'm wiling to talk to anyone that'll listen. But I'm weary of getting into another scam/trap again coming off fresh from this one which is why the post is short on names, amounts and so on. Of course, I'm willing to release all the details and name names, numbers, documents or whatever else will further the cause if I feel like it won't compromise the safety of my family because I've already had a scare at my house (someone threw an egg at my window at 1:26AM) shortly after my last post and although it could be a coincidence, I have no idea who I'm dealing with.

Very interesting choice of author name. Id like to verify that we are in fact talking about the same Rudy Villareal.
 
The Rudy Im speaking of is a coach at WestView High school. Also, and without coincidence ($$$), attends Horizons church in Rancho Santa Fe. Furthermore, he has his children involved in basketball clubs in Rancho Santa Fe ($$$) and in La Jolla ($$$) at one of the most expensive private schools in the county. Rudy likes to use his childrens functions and his church to find fish for new victims.
 
His last know address is on Avenida De Los Lobos San Diego, CA 92127. This is his parents house and Rudy doesnt live there. This is a three-bedroom home that already has 3/4 people living there. Rudy his wife Jennifer and five children dont let anyone know exactly where they live (the just use this address when asked).
 
Also, his scam (fraud) usually involves some sort of financial opportunity either through bridge loans, hedge funds, or property investments. This is all basically a front to keep his Ponzi scheme going.
 
If in fact we are talking about the same person, Id like to hear your story before I tip my hand to you. I will say that there are many people involved and youre not alone. Rudy has been doing this for a lone time.
 
Post your story, provide some sort a verifiable info (when, how, where) and I will find a way to provide advice / help. You should move quickly.
 
This will help get you started on who this man really is.
