(((NAME(S) REDACTED DUE TO PERCEIVED HARASSMENT / CYBERSTALKING / CYBERBULLYING / REVENGE POST))) | RIPOFF REPORT POST-PUBLICATION CONTENT REVIEW: EDITORIAL REDACTIONS | They Stole Our Retirement Savings!! Investment Fraud!! Toronto Ontario

EDITOR’S COMMENT(1/28/2021):  Ripoff Report strongly believes in the First Amendment, especially when consumers are truthfully warning other consumers about potential frauds, scams, rip-offs or the like by shady individuals or businesses.  Ripoff Report is by consumers, for consumers…and we want to keep it that way!  Unfortunately this Report was posted and, upon additional information, appears to have been primarily for the purpose of bullying or harassment.  In many instances Ripoff Report will reach out to the author of the Report to obtain further information.  In other instances, enough information is provided to Ripoff Report to warrant redactions without reaching out to the author.  Ripoff Report is working to combat tactics that are perceived to be cyberharassment, cyberstalking, cyberbullying and/or what is generally considered a “revenge post” as we do not condone such behavior. 

The Report was brought to our attention and, upon review of compiled information (which will be done on a case by case basis without any obligation as resources allow), and at Ripoff Report’s sole discretion, information that did not conform to current policies and/or the identifying information relating to the individual(s) and/or business(es) named in this “Report” and any subsequent comments thereto have been editorially redacted as indicated by the following “(((REDACTED)))” or (((REDACTED DUE TO PERCEIVED HARASSMENT / REVENGE POST)))”.

CONSUMERS:  Be kind.  Keep it honest.  Keep it fair.  Stick to the facts.  Do your research.  Keep the dirty laundry in the laundry hamper…not on Ripoff Report.

PLEASED TO SEE SUCH EFFORTS?  YOU CAN HELP RIPOFF REPORT COMBAT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES:  Ripoff Report, as resources allow, is working towards combatting Cyberharassment, Cyberstalking, Cyberbullying and/or other problems such as what is generically called “revenge posts” that can be riddled with personal commentary and/or allegations that can be serious.   Ripoff Report would love to be able to timely address each and every review request we receive, however, this takes resources.  If you think this is a worth-while endeavor, we encourage you to make a donation so that we can expand the resources that we can devote to this project.  You can make a non-tax deductible donation by clicking HERE NOW or learn a little more by visiting our “Donate to our Efforts” page.  The more resources we have, the more resources we can devote to this project and other forward thinking and positive initiatives like it.

Thank you!

NOW TO THE EDITORIALLY REDACTED POSTING(S):

We were victims of a fraud perpetrated by (((REDACTED))) and (((REDACTED))), two attorneys from Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the owners and officers of (((REDACTED))). 

My husband and I live in the community close to them. We are surrounded by good friends and wealthy individuals, including a (((REDACTED))); an elderly politician in British Columbia who introduced us to (((REDACTED))) and (((REDACTED))). These two lawyers from Toronto turned out to be major scam artists.

We were considering proceeding with a large investment, and approached (((REDACTED))) for advice.  Per his suggestion, we invested our retirement funds in the company (((REDACTED))). Time passed. Later, when we needed funds for my husband’s surgery, we asked to cash out our investment. That was when we realized we were victims of a huge fraud. After several unanswered calls and e-mails, we discovered that the Ontario Securities Commission had issued a CEASE TRADE ORDER for (((REDACTED)))!

(((REDACTED))) and (((REDACTED))) had failed to file several financial statements as required under the Ontario Securities Commission, therefore violating the Securities Legislation of Ontario.

We’ve been desperate. We’ve gone to(((REDACTED))) office and she simply said that she is the attorney on record of the RCMP against the Attorney General of Canada and we shouldn’t mess with her!

We did contact an attorney for help, but we couldn’t afford the huge retainer.

Please believe that (((REDACTED))) and (((REDACTED))) are not to be trusted. If you do your due diligence you’ll find ample evidence of their abuses. Please don’t be as gullible as we were. We trusted in the advice of our neighbor, (((REDACTED))), and didn’t check references.

I would strongly advise anyone considering an investment with them to go elsewhere. We can only hope that Justice will catch up with them and they’ll pay for the damage they did to us, and continue to do to others.
