Avraham Shalom Levy Avi Levy Warning & Beware of Avi Levy - Avraham Shalom Levy who is a real estate conman! Miami Florida

I met Avraham Shalom Levy (Avi) via a mutual friend who told me he has many homes for sale. Avi came to my office and offered to me and my son’s partner between 50 to 70 properties he claimed he owned. He offered for us to purchase these homes from him and create a partnership as all these homes required renovation. The deal would be that my son's partner and I would put up the capital for the renovations and he would offer his properties to us at his cost. When we sold, we would split the profit 50/50.

My son's partner chose 15 homes approximately and a day later he informed me that those homes did not belong to Avi and that he did not want to deal with him. Avi convinced me that he is the owner of these homes but because he bought them at auction, he uses many different names. After several days, Avi shows up at our office and tells my son's partner and I that the Russian mafia is after him and that he wanted a loan of $80K for a week’s time. My son's partner gave him a check for $80K and I was responsible for this check and it took us nearly two years to recover this money without any interest.

During this time, Avi requested that I release money to him in order for him to clean the titles of his homes in order for him to then sell them to me. When we arrived at approximately $80K of monies that I forwarded to Avi (separate of the other $80K), having not received a single home thus far, Avi offered to write me two checks for the total amount of $80K ($60K & $20K). I deposited the $60K in the bank and the check bounced. I called Avi about the check, he said this bounce could not be, so I told him to come with me to the bank.

When we arrived to the bank, I called the manager of the bank and asked why the check bounced, the manager told Avi how do you expect the bank to honor this check when you closed the account a long time ago. Avi asked that I not file a complaint about this and that he would instead offer me homes, asking that I wait some time in order for him to clean the titles.

During this time, I gave Avi more money. He sold me a home for $40K, telling me he is the owner of the home whereas his friend’s name was on the title, and Avi would transfer this title to me. I renovated this home, listed it for sale, and then learned that the owner of the home sold the home to someone else. Avi claimed that the owner of the home stole the home from Avi, while I never received any of the money back.

Avi sold me more homes via fake quit claims and the notaries that signed these quit claims signed on behalf of people that were never present or knowing of these transactions. In all, I invested approximately $380K via Avi and his people to whom he asked I send the money of which about $350K was transferred via checks and wires while the balance was in cash.

Some of the homes that Avi sold to me had people living in them that had no knowledge of Avi.

When Avi flew to Israel on one occasion, he asked that I lend him $50K for his son’s bris. I told him that you owe me more than $300K and that I would require a mortgage against his home where his wife was names Batya Salim, and that the home was free and clear otherwise. Avi provided me a mortgage of $50K signed by his wife and a note signed by his wife and he never paid me anything. I approached an attorney about the $50K note and it came to light that Avi’s wife claimed that she never signed anything. The woman who notarized these documents from Chase bank, who was deposed by my attorney, admitted that her stamp was in fact present on these documents, yet denied she knew who signed on behalf of her stamp. The deposition revealed that Avi was present that day at the bank and did in fact cooperate with Avi. We are currently suing both the notary and Chase bank, in addition to Avi.

Avi would send fake emails impersonating an attorney of his from Melbourne, FL, claiming he owned many homes. I made two trips to Melbourne, FL to meet this apparent lawyer and was unable to find this person.

I further paid above $20K to Avi on behalf of a handyman to have work performed and the handyman never received any of the monies, forcing me to pay the handyman a second time to get the work completed. I know at least 5 other individuals who Avi took hundreds of thousands from them. I have their contact details.

The addresses of the properties Avi quit claimed to me which he never owned are:

• 2226 NW 98 st. Miami, FL 33147
• 2861 Leonard Dr. # F-311 Aventura, FL 33160
• 13425 NW 2nd Ave N. Miami
• 5708 SW 11 Ave, Miami, FL 33127
• 536 Easat 15th St. Hialeah, FL 33010
• 6428 Mayo St. Hollywood, FL

I further have an affidavit from Carlos Miguel Careaga Martinez where he admits that Avi conspired together with him to sell three properties in a scam to me and that he would receive a lot of money in order to do this. Carlos did in fact receive $5000 for this, a check copy is available as evidence.

This posting is a warning to ALL that Avy Levy, Avraham Shalom Levy, together with his wife Batya Salim, is a pathological liar and conmna who has stolen many hundreds of thousands from multiple victims and continues to do so. The good news is that he is not only being sued, but is under investigation by authorites, both private and public, and will be arrested. In the meantime, do heed this warning.
