Sam Smargissi asked me to invest money with him to help purchase and improve on a waterfront property I found that was up for foreclosure. I gave him $20,000 in April of 2003. In August of this year, I went by the property and noticed that improvements had not been made. Upon calling him, I was told that the property was tied up with variences which stalled the rehab. I then asked for my money back to invest in other properties. At this point he made various excuses on why my money was tied up.

He made 3 $5000.00 payments to me and stated that the last $5,000 was tied up in legal fees. I asked for documentation and he never returned my calls. I located the property owner listed with the state. The property owner had never heard of Mr. Smargissi and the owners brought the property out of foreclosures themselves. I left voice and fax messages about this fraud and demanded my money back. To this date I have not recieved any contact from him. His business associates say they are aware of the situation but he is telling them the same lies regarding the legal fees as well.

How people lie when they are having an affair.

AUTHOR: Sam - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, September 27, 2011

I guess this was all a bad dream. We have someone that lied to his wife, lied to his girlfirend, lied to me, and is lying on his rebuttal. Well, it goes to show you how people really are. He did get back all of his money for this investment, the home was renovated, and I sold it. He girlfried left him, and he moved back with his wife.

Hard to keep track of the lies..... trying to cloud the truth with issues that dont pertain to facts

AUTHOR: Weny - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, April 13, 2004

As the title suggests, it is hard to keep track of the lies but the truth will never waver. Mr. Smargissi should look up the word "morals" in the dictionary. As usual he is trying to cloud the truth with issues that dont pertain to facts. HE DID NOT BUY ANY PROPERTY WITH THE MONEY I GAVE HIM. The property address is 951 Magothy in Arnold MD.

Look up the public tax records.
Lets address the rebuttal. The use of the word "we". Yes, I purchased a property with $40,000 at 15% over three months. This was borrowed from Sam's partner at the time. He had did not have any ties to that money at all. The personal note was due on April 1st 2003. Issues with the title company caused the repayment of the loan to be delayed until April 15, 2003 for $46,000. A lawyer for Sam's partner was never mentioned and has never contacted me. Now, from the rebuttal, Sam states he tried to contact me and had to sic a lawyer on me to get his money back. If that was the case, would you still do business with me?

Mr. Smargissi recieved a check for $20,000 on April 22, 2003. I have copies of the check.
The third paragraph of the rebuttal doesnt make any sense as well. Any sane person would follow up on a twenty thousand dollar investement. To say that I would not respond is ludicrous.

The lies continue here as he states he invested my money toward that property and it was tied up with the property. Again, look up the property tax assessments. He never bought the property. I have emails and voice mails from Mr. Smargissi swearing that the money is tied up with this property. The property owners phone number is listed. Give them a call, they never heard of him.
It's funny, the only way I could get back my final $5,000 was to sit on his front porch to address the issue.

His reaction to me was that he found out I was lying about this and that and he was keeping it because of the issues he had to deal with on my behalf. I had him tell me what the issues were and I was again handed a pack of lies. Each issue I researched and addressed and provided proof with the facts. At this point, he had to give me my money. He then stated that I "came out smelling like roses" and would like to work with me again.

This contradicts his last statement of not dealing with me after he gave me my money. Again, I have the emails for verification. Obviously, he was directed to this site and is going back to his standard of someone being a liar.

#4 REBUTTAL Owner of company

loan officer who should have better morales

AUTHOR: Samuel - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, April 10, 2004

Weny had a girlfriend who we put into one of our
rental properties that he stated he was going to move into with his girlfriend and if we could upgrade the property for him, which we did and then he went back to his wife and we helped him with a 40,000 loan to close with to purchase this property in Annapolis.

When we asked for the money back that he had borrowed from a friend of ours brother he would say his parents had it and hewould give it back shortly. We called him several times no response. Finally our friend contacted his lawyers and low and behold he got his money back.

The investment money we had invested toward a property and when we tried to work with Weny on it he would never return calls and sothe money was tied up with the investment, that he stated he was interested in but never showed any interest in after providing themoney so we had to get out of the deal which took time and he has since forth received his 20,000 back.

Weny is a lying person, one not to be trusted.
Since this no dealings have been made with him and he is a loan officer who should have better morales than he does.
