Tom Doumani (Thomas Joseph Doumani) is a self-professed financial planner and insurance agent based out of his home at 33 Deer Track in Irvine, California.  Doumani's license numbers are (were):

DOUMANI, Thomas Joseph (License# 0534011) Expired on 04/07/2015

DOUMANI Insurance Services, Inc. (License# 0617114) Expired on 05/31/2005

I met Doumani in December 2009 at a social event in Newport Beach.  Doumani claimed to be a financial planner to the wealthy (lie) wrote a book on wealth management and preservation (lie), and was a billionaire (lie).

In late 2011, Doumani offered an investment that was to pay 20% interest within 90 days.  On 10 November 2011, I invested $30,000 with Doumani with a promise to repay the principal and 20% interest ($6,000) within 90 days.  The $30,000 check was made out to 'TD Seperate Property Trust'.

Over the course of the past four years, Doumani has promised to repay numerous times via email, text, and voicemails.  Doumani offered ridiculous excuses for delays every time I called; one example: 'The money could not be wired because hurricanes on the east coast shut down the banks'.  At some point, he offered to increase the interest owed to $12,000 vs. the original $6,000 in order to buy my patience.  The total owed was now $42,000 ($30,000 in principal and $12,000 in interest).

In December 2014, I Google searched 'Tom Doumani' and found another victim had posted a detailed description of how they were ripped off by Doumani for several hundred-thousand dollars.  You can easily pull up that posting by Google searching 'Tom Doumani Arrest Wanted'.  The guy who posted it was scammed in a similar way.  I contacted the gentleman and found he knew of other victims.  Contacting those individuals opened up pandoras box on his decades-long run of scamming people.  Doumani has 19 fraud judgments against him at the Orange County, California Courthouse alone.  I'm sure none of those victims have been paid as Doumani has mastered the art of hiding the cash he steals.  Contact me for additional details.

If you have ever purchased insurance from Doumani and he's still listed as the agent on your policy, contact me immediately.  He is no longer licensed.  Switching to another agent is easy.  It is ILLEGAL for Doumani to collect residuals on ANY policies as he is unlicensed.  If you prefer to contact your insurance company directly, I would strongly recommend you do so as soon as possible.

In a seperate incident in February 2012, Doumani sold me a Penn Mutual Life Insurance Policy.  He stated in order to purchase the policy, I needed to give him a $3,000 check.  The check was made out directly to Doumani.  I contacted Penn Mutual's legal department in December 2014, and they said they do not charge fees for their policies and that Doumani scammed me.  He later forged a document (which I have the original of) in order to conceal his crime with both Penn Mutual and the California Department of Insurance.  As a result, Tom is no longer licensed after selling insurance for more than 30 years.

In addition to ensuring Doumani lost his insurance license, I also worked with the California Department of Business Oversight who conducted an extensive investigation into Doumani's fraudulent business practices.  The attached DESIST AND REFRAIN ORDER against Thomas Joseph Doumani, as well as his two companies (Advanced Planning Concepts and Venture Financial Services) details numerous Corporate and Securities Violations.  The ORDER is dated April 22, 2015.  In addition to losing his insurance license, Doumani can no longer conduct business in California.

Next step:

Doumani is currently under investigation by numerous state and federal agencies, some of which can charge him criminally.  If you are a victim, contact me.  I have a detailed gameplan for helping take Doumani down.  Working together we can finally put an end to Doumani's decades long string of scams and put him where he belongs.

#5 General Comment

these claims are bogus

AUTHOR: mr erickson - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, August 16, 2017
I wanted to write on this web-site and set the record straight in regards to Mr. Doumani. I have known him and his family for over 17 years and know him to be one of our best minds on subjects that quite frankly for the rest of us are hard to understand, I know that Mr. Doumani has not even had a parking ticket in the last 5 years --let alone being sought for any criminal activity. His career has span over forty years in the Estate and Business Insurance arena. 

 

I had met Mike Strom who has put up this site on a few occasions and found his allegations against Mr. Doumani false and mis-leading. 

In fact this formed Marine has been indicted and is serving out his prison sentence. see link below

#4 Consumer Comment

I was also ripped off

AUTHOR: Stopthescam - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, November 25, 2016

I was also ripped off by Thomas Doumani. He offered to set up an off shore trust account for me, the price of the trust is around 30k.. (seems like a very common figure) I gave him a deposit of 5k to start the process, I was going to pay him the full amount but I felt a bit funny about it because he was so persistent to get this money off me in full and kept asking. Now In my eyes when setting up a trust any fees that incur will be billed to the owner of the trust, and if I'm going to be putting a large sum of money in a trust account they can almost pay me to put it there.. right? He sent a heap of documentation for the trust all of which were not on letter head or have any details of the company that will be holding my money. In the end I asked him for my money back as I don't trust him with his reputation, who knows there could be some loop hole into my trust account that I don't know he put there! Then suddenly your money is gone! His attorney who also has a record of ripping people's money off apparently has my money because he transferred it to him to start the process, which they both refused to refund even though their services hadn't even been engaged. I got off relatively unscaved as I smelt a rat and I was warned when one of my friends heard I had been in talks with the guy.

Doumani: Deadbeat Dad with Extravagant Jet-Setting Lifestyle

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, June 03, 2015

Thomas Doumani, professional con man, lavishes himself in the good life while his abandoned kids and ex-wife can barely make ends meet, according to public records (Case Number: 95D008983).

Doumani takes frequent extravagant $10,000 to $40,000 a week vacations, buys $6,000 Armani suits, $100,000+ vehicles, stays in $2,000 a night hotel suites, rents limousines instead of taking cabs, and regularly dines at the finest restaurants, all while owing hundreds of thousands in unpaid child support.  Doumani also considers himself a Vegas high-roller and gambled away much of the money that should have gone to his children.  Strip clubs are also a place where Doumani like to dump his cash.

His ex-wife, on the other hand, was barely making ends meet with their four young children on her own.  She even had the paid-off family Chrysler minivan repossesed to pay a small portion of one of Doumani's many judgements.

Moral of the story:

You give deadbeat-dad Tom Doumani money, it will be gone to support his lavish jet-setting lifestyle.  You will never see it again.  

Contact me if you're a victim.  We will have justice.

Doumani: Stole $303,000 From His Own Mother

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, June 02, 2015

Among the 19 Fraud Judgements against Doumani at the Orange County, California Courthouse, one is quite a gem... Doumani vs. Doumani, mother suing wonderful son Thomas for stealing her entire life's savings.  Case Number 02CC10060.  Thomas stole $200,000 on 10 September 1994 with a bogus Promissory Demand Note, then stole the remaining balance of mom's retirement with a second bogus Promisorry Demand Note for $103,000 on 5 May 1995.  Same short-term, high interest rate ponzi scheme Doumani's still running today... 20 years later!  Anyway, by mid-2001, Thomas had not repaid his elderly mother, so she was forced to sue her amazing son Thomas for $303,000 plus interest and damages.  Mom died penniless that same year and other family members carried on the suit against dear Thomas.

Like everyone else that sues Doumani, they finally got a judgement against him on 3 March 2004.  Like everyone else, the judgment was worthless as Doumani squirrels away his stolen cash where it's never seen again.  Ten years of wasted time, attorneys' fees, and a mother dying broke and no doubt broken-hearted she created such a piece of garbage.

Moral of the story:

If you're considering doing any kind of business with Thomas Doumani, do you really want to deal with someone who has no problem stealing from his mother?...

Doumani: Scammed Wounded Marines Foundation

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, June 02, 2015

I'm a Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel with 29 years of service.  In early 2010, Doumani asked that I provide a color guard (four ceremonial flag carriers) for a Wounded Marines event he was organizing in Lake Forest, California.  Doumani personally pledged one million dollars.  Everyone was impressed, which added credibility to this con man.  Weeks after the event, the Wounded Marines foundation called me because Doumani had not sent the money he pledged.  I followed-up with Doumani and he offered numerous excuses for weeks.  Finally said he had changed his mind because the organization "did not seem reputable".  The truth is, Doumani never intended to give one million dollars to the Wounded Marines.  The whole event was a scam to give a simple insurance salesman/con man credibility as a 'financial planner to the ultra wealthy' and a billionaire himself.  He's simply an insurance salesman who's learned how to scam money from people decades ago, and has improved his skills ever since.
