I was scammed by Daniel in October of 2009. I initially put in $1000 into his sports betting scheme. He kept sending me account growth reports every week averaging 30% growth after commissions. So in November I invested another $7,000 into his scheme, and everything went great for a few more weeks, we were on the phone at least twice a week and in touch via email about twice a week too. The s**t hit the fan on the last weekend of November. By then my account had grown to about $25,000 (from $8,000). I asked for a withdrawal of $2,500. Amazingly I even got my withdrawal request fulfilled. Then all of a sudden he stopped sending me weekly emails and stopped answering my calls. The last I heard from Daniel was a text message mid December saying that my account had been blacklisted and frozen and that my $33,000 account was uncashable! After that I have tried repeatedly to contact him via email, text message and phone calls, but never got through to him. I have lost a total of $5,500 to this scam, and that hurts! I don't believe any sort of legal action or fraud reporting will be fruitful because he seems to be a seasoned con artist and is well aware of how to hide from the law. Too bad that I am an upstanding law abiding citizen becuase If I knew a few people with baseball bats and low moral standards, then I might have approached this loss in a slightly different manner! But for now, live and let learn!! Hopefully this report will save at least one other person from throwing away their hard earned money like I did.

Daniel Levy is a scam artist and thief who stole from me too!!
AUTHOR: scammedbydanlevy - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, August 29, 2011
I met Dan as Michael Remdey with Investar Holdings a few months ago! His real name is Daniel Austin Levy, but he changes his name, company, address and phone number often to continue scamming people.
He stole $1800 from me, and $2500 from my friend.
He is a sociopath and does nothing but lie and scam. He sounds sweet and charming and "seems" to really know his stuff. He is smooth talking and you will believe every word he tells you.
Dan told me his "investment" was as safe as putting your money in a bank account. He sent and signed contracts with me and told me that my initial investment was "guaranteed." He is a con artist who claims he has a sports arbitrage program and he make returns of 50% weekely. Really he does not do arbitrage at all. He is addicted to gambling and just bets straight up (and loses) everyone's money.
I invested $1800 and he would send me weekly "numbers" and reports telling me how much money I was making. When my account grew to over $5000, I asked for a withdrawl of just over half. It never came, he stalled and gave me a million excuses...and finally he told me Bookmakers processors had be seized and shut down and I couldn't get my money out. All of which was BS.
He claims he works for Bookmaker and they pay his phone bill, computer, office space, etc...but this is all a lie. He claims he is a big shot in the gambling world and has all these connections.
We actually became "friends" and I was able to get alot of information about him and his life. We talked every day and I saved every email, chat session, photo, etc. I will be taking full legal action against Mr. Levy and I can provide his full details to anyone who was also scammed and would like to go to the authorities. It is hard to press charges when he used fake names, addresses, corporations...but I have ALL his real info.
He brags of millions of dollars in offshore accounts in Malta, but really he lives in a tiny apartment in Santa Clara, CA and drives a Honda Civic.
When all of his lies finally caught up to him, he broke down and told me everything. I have his "confessions" saved on chat. No one has ever made money. He just takes everyone's money and gambles it away (no arbitrage.) He uses fake names/corporations to hide behind. That way he isn't responsible for his "fake" contracts he signs with you. He wasn't my "friend" and stole my money and lied to me about it for months.
He also claims to invest in Forex, stocks, etc. and sells shelf corporations and tradelines. All of this is all a scam too. He will just steal your money and you will never see a thing from him. Search for him on Ripoff Report and you will see all the trouble/scams he has been involved in.
He has used the names Daniel Austin Levy, Daniel Levy, David Likten/Lichten, Michael Remdey and I am sure countless others. He has had the companies Symtek Solutions, Investar Holdings, Incorpo Enterprises, New Business Network Solutions. (These are ones that I KNOW of...but may be many others.)
Known emails he uses/has used are: investarholdings@gmail.com, mds_investments@msn.com, freedomapprovals@gmail.com,info@thenbns.com.
His current phone number is: 408-550-3220, but I am sure he will change as soon as I post this.
He lives (and "works") out of the Bay Area....Santa Clara/San Jose area. But will claim he is from Palo Alto. He may or may not work with a girl name Kristina (in the photo.) He claims this is his girlfriend of 5 years, but there is NO way she can actually live with him and not know what is going on, so I believe she may be an accomplice.
The photo of his ID posted on here IS him, but the birthdate has been doctored. His real birthdate is: 02/13/87. That's right, a 24 year old has stolen and scammed half a million dollars (or more) from people!!
He is originally from Palm Beach Gardens, FL and has scammed people there as well. His family is still in that area. His Dad is an attorney there, maybe that is why he thinks he can get away with his crimes. I have his parents info, family/friends, contacts, his SSN, addresses, IDs, etc. which I will be giving to the authorities in both FL and CA.
Let's get this guy and get our money back, and make sure he NEVER scams someone again. He deserves to be in jail.
PEOPLE BEWARE!!!
Daniel Austin Levy is a con artist, scammer, sociopath/psychopath, liar, gambling addict, and terrible person who has no conscience. He needs to be stopped!!!

Do not invest with this man under any circumstances

This man operates from Craigslist and used many aliases (Dave Lichten, Dave Likten, Michael Remdy) in order to continue his scheme of stealing from people. I now am aware that his scam has cost investors close to $500,000 as I have posted my email and the brokers and or investors have contacted me direct.

Your situation is oddly similar to one I experienced with an individual offering a sports arbitrage investment. My guy was using an alternate name, with first initial D and last L, advertising through craigslist. I know of 50 other investors with an aggregate of over $425,000 that he has lost or stolen. Please email me so that we can compare notes - nbnsscam at gmail dot com.
I have posted my experience on multiple website - you can google "david lichten scam"
