INVESTOR BEWARE of this Scam. Biogenic, Julie Ann Youssef and Gary Youseff will take your money and you will never see it again – EVER! Save your families money and find a real business to invest in. My nightmare began last year and continues to this day. When something sounds too good to be true, it is. This is a prime example.

When I invested there was nothing online about the company other than their many websites. There were no reviews, no one on LinkedIn etc. All I got to go on was the contacts the company gave me – and unfortunately I fell for it. Since then I have met many other investors or reps who have been ripped off by Biogenic Corp.

They say they’ve been in business for 10+ years and have placed 1400 machines = FALSE. The website domain was purchased in 2018. They have no business license for Biogenic Corp. They will tell you that for 150K you will get a FFS contract from the doctor who will pay you a reimbursement for each test performed by the machine you pay for. Additionally, they will tell you that once your machine is placed, you will get the FFS contract back with the locations (Dr. Offices) of your devises. FALSE. After my devise was placed, they told me under no circumstances would they give me the Doctor Contact information.

The nightmare continues when I ask to be connected with someone in accounting so that I can give them my bank information for direct deposit of my monthly payments. After asking for weeks for this, it NEVER came. Finally, I was supposed to get reports showing how many tests were taken. I NEVER got those reports. Also did not get any reimbursements. So I paid 150K and got nothing in return. 150K + Zero = 150K loss.

Many of the investors come from connections they pay for through franchise consultants. Bill McKinna is most likely the person you’ll talk to first. Although he is “independent” like everyone else involved with this scam, he is not an innocent participant. Myself and other investors have talked endlessly with him about the issues and he looks the other way. He is still bringing in unsuspecting investors claiming he hasn’t heard of any issues with Biogenic Corp. Shame on you Bill.  

IF you love getting scammed, love being lied to endlessly, and love to lose lots of money, Biogenic Corp is for you. Ask for Julie Ann Youssef or Gary Youseff (yes they are married). Gary now goes by Gary Joseph and Julie Ann never uses her last name. It’s because they are longtime scam artists (see the links below) moving from Ohio to Newport Beach where they run this latest scam.

I have had a private investigator do background checks on them. They have countless bankruptcies to their names. They must be proud of each other. They belong together. I have also filed reports with the FBI online, FBI in person and am headed to the attorney general’s office to report these scammers hoping to stop them. They have hurt my family and other innocent victims enough. I’m doing my best to put them in Jail and stop this fraud in its tracks. Hopefully if you are online doing your due diligence before investing in this scam, you read this and tell them hell no. And when you tell them no, please tell them to F*ck off for me.

#5 UPDATE Employee

False information

AUTHOR: Brian - (United States)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 18, 2019

Biogenic Corp received the formal complaint involving Mr.................

As per the complaint I will answer each section of his complaint below:

  1. Will take your money and never see it again.
    1. ……………….purchased a Business Opportunity which involved a piece of capital medical equipment. This equipment has been placed on his behalf. Mr…………………was provided with 2 separate reports detailing this information.
    2. The First report was what we call a “Build Report” which details the unit and the serial number associated with the system(s).
    3. The second report was what we call a “Delivery and Installation Report” which details the system has been delivered with all pieces of hardware and consumables for the physicians’ location. Details with images, delivery notes (signed by the location), business cards, images of the location with street view and office images with system installed.
  2. Many other “investors” and reps who have been ripped off.
    1. We do NOT offer any kind of investment. This is not a guarantee of monies earned, this is simply an opportunity to facilitate better patient care while earning a potential income from the opportunity. We do not offer any guarantees on any kind of returns, futures or anything to do with investing in the company, period.
  3. They say they have been in business 10 plus years and placed 1400 units = FALSE
    1. We have many offerings that expand 10 plus years including additional software for other market shares within the medical industry. We have combined these offerings over the years to include additional distributors who have also utilized our software programs, equipment and solutions within the medical industry.
    2. 1400 units expands those 10 years which include our software and not just systems themselves. Many of distributors have also placed these programs and systems across the US.
  4. They say for $150k you will get an FFS (Fee for Service) contract from the doctor who will pay you a reimbursement for each test performed by the machine you pay for. Additionally, they will tell you that once your machine is placed, you will get the FFS contract back with the locations (Dr. Office) of your devices, False.
  1. The FFS is contained within a 3rd party company that performs all installations on our behalf. We provide the build report and installation report as part of the process with the images acknowledging to our Diagnostic partners (Owner Operators) that the process has been fulfilled. We have provided these items to Mr…………………. Mr. ……………..has also visited these sites and has been in contact with our location(s), so we are confused as to how he is referring to this process as being FALSE. Attached is the build report and the delivery report for your review along with a testimonial from the physician themselves where his system(s) are located. Mr. …………………..was also to provide us a testimonial; however, we are still waiting on him to provide said document to us.
  1. Once my device was placed under no circumstances would I be given the Doctor contact information.
    1. Typically we do not provide direct contact info to the Owner Operator as the location and the physicians request that not be given out as to not interrupt their daily practice routines, but we do provide the “Delivery and Installation Report” which has the business card and basic contact information as to where the unit was placed. Also, Mr. ………………..has visited the site and has been in contact with his locations.
  2. I asked to be connected with someone in accounting so that I can give them my bank information for direct deposit of my monthly payments. After asking for weeks for this, it NEVER came.
    1. Typically, when a system is installed it takes up to 90 days for any real testing to occur as the locations are getting and building a routine for the system and the testing. We explain this that it will take time for them to get setup. I am unaware of the request taking place, but we have that information on file.
  3. Finally, I was supposed to get reports showing how many tests were taken. I NEVER got those reports. Also did not get any reimbursements.
    1. Again, setup time for an office location typically takes 90 days from the date of installation to build a routine. Many of the tests being performed are demos so they can get used to utilizing the machine before taking on patients. Once an office location is up and running reports are generated 30 days from the first of that month and a bill is sent with a 30-day bill cycle. As stated in the beginning there are no guarantees made about how fast a location will begin testing, there are no guarantees for a return as this is a business opportunity and not an investment with ROI guarantees.

I believe, this answered his complaints and each section as he laid these out in his paragraph. As you can see from our statement replies, to the attached documents, we are unaware of any real ongoing issues with Mr. ……………... Mr. ……………… was again on-site and content as far as his in-person statements were concerned. Below details his trip:

Arrived in California:
3/12/2019

Meeting Scheduled with Dr………….
3/13/2019 @ 10:00/1100

Mr. …………………. had a complete assessment performed on him with one of his own Systems at Dr. ……………………… Facility - …………….. location. After his assessment was finished everyone met with Dr. …………….. (……………. B.,Dr ………………,  …………………., ………………..). Meeting was about 30 minutes long. Mr. …………………. left the meeting very ecstatic, thankful, and fulfilled in regard to the placement, or so he expressed.
After the meeting Mr. ……………….., …………………. went to lunch for Mexican food near LAX.  Mr. ………………… used an Uber back to LAX after lunch had concluded.

Please see the attached documents for further clarifications on Delivery and Installation, testimonial from Dr. ………………………. M.D. including the Build Report of the system(s).

Gary Youssef and Julie Ann Youssef are straight up scammers

AUTHOR: anonymous - (United States)

POSTED: Tuesday, May 14, 2019

I got taken by these people awhile back and have since spoken with countless other victims. I was dissapointed to hear that they slithered back into the medical industry since their last scam ran out of juice (clinicians group), and they are now operating as Biogenic Corp in Newport Beach.

First off, I can tell you that their cost per machine including training is less than $20k. They are charging investors $150k, so they are hustling bigtime right off the top.

Then, they charge $250/test, of which $0 ever makes it back to the investor.

Gary and Julie Ann Youssef should be in jail. Julie Ann drives around in a brand new Escalade and they live in one of the most expensive zip codes in the country. They will lie, cheat, and steal to maintain their lifestyle.

I feel bad for anyone that gets suckered by these people.

Sounds funny, wha wha wha

AUTHOR: Daniel - (United States)

POSTED: Friday, March 01, 2019

It seems funny to me why someone that supposedly just lost 150K to Biogenics. wouldn't file criminal charges against them, and or sue them for breech of contract in court plus damages.

For Fraud, deception, Grand Theft etc.before coming here and slandering the company like that. Seems to me all you've done is allowed yourself to put into a liabel situation to be sued yourself.

What did your contract say they would do for you. If you own the machine it's yours to take back and sell it, isn't it. Then do so. relocate the machine or resell it. If it turns out to be true in a court of law I'm sorry but say so is just that wha wha wha.
