I thought Kamran Kastle was my friend. We would go to dinner or a movie from time to time (if i paid). I always felt he had the ability to be a bit of a con artist and caught him in a few little lies on occassion (such as big birthday party he said a friend threw him at a hotel which in reality never took place), but as he could be charming and would act like a friend, I let go of that feeling that he was not honest.
Well shortly before the holidays, I invited him to join a few of us for a movie. As always, I paid for Kamran and for the refreshments too. He helped me carry the refreshments into the theater and grabbed by credit card from the gentleman at the cashier register after the transaction. I figured he would give it to me when we settled into the theater with our refreshements. As soon as we got in, he got up and left the theater for forty minutes. My friends and I were concerned so I went in the lobby to look for him. There was no sign of him. He returned as I said, after forty minutes and said he was in the bathroom as the pop corn did not agree with him. He later handed me my credit card.
Something about the incident did not sit well with me and knowing he had my credit card for those forty minutes, i went on line two days later to check my credit card statement. Sure DURING THE EXACT 40 MINUTES he had walked out of the theater MY CREDIT CARD WAS SWIPED AT THE CVS (DRUG STORE) ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE MOVIE THEATER!! He had purchased a $500 prepaid Master Card for himself with my credit card!!!!! I immediately texted him in regards to his unauthorized use of my card. His response was merely: "you should contact the credit card company and tell them your card had fraudulent activity on it". No apology or admission of guilt. It felt like a response a psychotic person would give.
I have notified the credit card company of this credit card fraud and naturally have broken off my friendship with him, and have since then learned he lied to me about numerous things such as the fact he is currently enrolled at USC, when it reality he dropped out over a decade ago, and many more lies too numerous to mention here. Just be careful of entering any kind of relationship with this man.
By the way his real last name is Kamran SYED but he prefers the name Kamran Kastle.

#2 Consumer Comment
Kamran's rebuttal is utterly false
AUTHOR: Ellen - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, February 06, 2016
Seriously Kamran, why would I take the time to sign up for rip off report and document the ocurrence outlined here if it were not true? Your turning this into a cross-examination does not change the facts that you ripped me off, a supposed friend who had been nothing but generous to you over the years. And you did so for absolutely no reason whatsoever but greed (or is it some form of psychotic behavior?). Below is the email I sent to some friends of mine immediately following your actions, to protect them and make them less suceptible to your vile behavior. As you know and as is stated in the email below, you were blind copied on that email. I did so to make you aware that these friends would know of your criminal actions to further ensure thay you cannot prey upon them.
Please see below for a copy of the original email as well as one of several responses to the email.

Dear Friends,
I have had the opportunity to speak to all of you in the past few days, and some others who know Kamran but are not copied here, about his most recent thievery-- leaving the movie theater during a film we were attending together, for the mere purpose of the unauthorized use of my credit card. He actually left the movie we were seeing together and ran over to a CVS outside of the Grove to use my credit card, unbeknownst to me, to the tune of $505 ( he claimed he was in the bathroom because the pop corn did not agree with him). I only found out about his most recent criminal behavior because I went on-line two days later to check my credit card statement. I later learned from VISA fraud control that it had been physically swiped DURING the movie!
He also, as I think I mentioned to most of you, despite my request last week, has refused to turn over monies earned from the sale of concert tickets I provided him with for the benefit of my non-profit organization, Animal Alliance. He already makes a percentage off the sale of these tx but that was apparently not enough for him. He wants 100%!
Oh and Mark has since found out that he was born in 1985, not 1980 as he has claimed all along-- probably so he does not look like such a looser living in a tiny apt with minimal income at the age of 35! Also it appears he is no longer attending USC (if he ever did) as he continues to tell everyone. Will keep U posted on that once we receive confirmation. And he claimed his father was Indian and his mother Italian. In reality both parents are Moslem Indians, something he is ashamed of to the degree he changed his bizz name from Kamran Syed (his real name) to Kamran Kastle (or sometimes Kamran Syd). Oh and he has a criminal record from a law suit or charges brought against him in Riverside county, details of which are forthcoming.
Thank you all for your suggestions ranging from small claims court; filing a police report; doing an online rip-off report, which appears on top when someone or someone's website is googled; agreeing to speak to an attorney who has reached out to me that is already engaged in a law suit against him on another matter (so he finally serves jail time); contacting the Secretary of State about his non-profit (remind me to tell you how he used HIS non profit to rip people off at a USC football game) and other suggestions you gave me beyond the scope of this email. And I can't forget to mention your volunteering to approach and humiliate him for his irreproachable behavior if you see him at the gym, restaurants, theaters or wherever ( I will do the same). I did get his father, Masood's cell phone number. Will be checking in with him for sure! Any other suggestions you have thought of since are welcome-- the gist of all of your suggestions is that he needs to be taught a lesson so he does not continue to hurt, manipulate or screw people over; some of whom are not in the position to suffer losses.
Kamran is blind copied here, as are a few others, by the way. And so as not to burden others with lots of emails please direct any responses directly to me rather then hit reply all.
Thanks again for your support and warn friends of your's in "the business" about an Indian grifter named Kamran!!
Hugs,
Ellen

This is a Fake Customer Review

1) Kamran did not steal $500.
2) If Kamran did in fact steal $500, why hasn’t the Article’s Author taken him to Small Claims Court?
3) What happened to the $500 Gift Card?
4) Does the Author of the Complaint have any Evidence that Kamran is in possession of the $500 Gift Card?
5) If Kamran stole a Credit Card, why would he give the Credit Card Owner financial advice on what to do about the stolen Credit Card? Credit Card thieves typically do not typically give financial advice to parties they steal from. The facts of this Complaint are suspicious.
