Israel Hicks aka Israel Smith aka Bryan Hicks Israel Financial Education Services FES 310-409-9916 SCAM ARTIST BEWARE DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ISRAEL HICKS 310-409-9916 Desoto Texas

BEWARE OF THIS NARSSISTIC SCAM ARTIST HE WILL ROB YOU BLIND Israel Hicks / Israel Smith / Isreal Hicks / Isreal Smith / Bryan Hicks / Bryan Smith / Warburg International / Salon Blowdry Bar

Upon meeting him the first time or spending multiple hours in long conversations he will dialogue about his accomplishments and what he can do to help you, he will work without mercy to make you believe that he's a true Christian and how his calling is the ministry. He'll brag about how he's a savvy business man graduating from Morehouse but supply no proof of ever successfully making any money, it's all made up lies from a pathological liar.  

At first, he will try to seem genuinely interested in your business but beware he's only looking to prey on you to see what he can get out of you. Looking for a weak entry like a divorced or to speak down to you about how your business as a Real Estate Agent / Credit Repair / Tax Company / Whatever Business is subpar and inferior to his business offer. Let's not forget about the 401K Talk or American Express Cards he's digging for. He loves to extract your 401K. Especially with older women who've managed their life pretty well. 

Don't take this for granted. If he has to bring up Rip Off Report he's sure to tell you this elaborate tale of how he's just hated on by some angry investor and he's a "MAN OF GOD". Imagine my surprise when I found out this fraud has a credit score below 500, no car, no home all fluff and lies. What's really disappointing is he will tell you he has an excellent score and makes $40K a month. Ask to see the credit score real-time. I'm sure he'll say no or just show you a paper copy he had someone make for him. Ask for the bank statements too....they'll probably be made-up also. 

He took $50,000 of my hard-earned money after promises of returning my investment through Real Estate Investments and his new found gold mine with FES aka Financial Education Services. (Ask to see those checks too! All fake) He claims he was able to figure out the compensation plan where I could be paid weekly and it would replace the investment. He asked me to sit down with him at "HIS ELABORATE HOUSE" in Desoto TX. Upon driving up you will be very impressed and think this man must know how to manage money. Don't be fooled. Found out later this is his Sisters Home and he has nothing but a corner room. (((REDACTED))), Desoto TX (((REDACTED))) THIS IS NOT HIS HOUSE. He doesn't pay a dime. This is his TRAP. His way of boasting and making you feel like you've met the perfect business man. 

If he asks you to pick him up or suddenly after a meeting wants to ride with you don't be stupid. Ask yourself where is his car. He's not riding with you because you're special. He's riding with you because he doesn't have a car. Don't believe whatever excuse he gives you. Just wait a while to see if he catches an UBER. Or rides off in his sister's white Impala or her husband's silver truck.

I introduced him to several of my professional business friends at Art Galleries and private functions. I should have done my research because upon trying to enter an event they requested his ID and to my surprise it say's Bryan. I became suspicious and asked him about it later. Of course, this was after I had given him the money. Once again this elaborate story about how Israel was his ministry name. He said he was going to change his name to Israel eventually. It seemed very weird so when I got home I Googled his name only to find "GUESS WHAT?" A previous rip off report from someone else.  

I was furious that he lied about his name but even more afraid of what was going to happen with my money. I confronted him. He just told me the long story about someone he took money from in the past got upset with him because a deal fell through. He talked about how he took college money and invested it in real estate. How he's been to Africa with Andrew Young and Hope Bryant.

I asked him for the money back and guess what? He turned into an angry man!!!! Very degrading and condescending. Telling me I knew nothing about him or money. I needed to get over myself. He has SEVERAL investors and people and he didn't need my money. A totally different person. I have yet to receive anything and I'm hating myself right now. 

Lastly, I was fooled by the California phone number only to find out he never lived in California. He's from Arkansas but lived in Atlanta then moved to TEXAS. Just a liar. I'm in the process of suing him right now. Just be careful and don't be fooled like I was. I wish someone to warn me.
