Quatloos!

Has anyone heard of W**** W*** from Canada or George S****** from Kansas City? My brother-in-law and my cousin each put up 500,000.00 over three years ago with G***** S******. They were referred to S****** by W**** W***. Supposedly, S****** is trading with foreign banks and receiving high dividends. He keeps telling my brother-in-law all kinds of different stories and he falls for them all. OVER THREE YEARS! Supposedly, my brother-in-law and my cousin have earned 3.5 million dollars and S****** is having a hard time getting the bank to release the funds. My cousin is convinced it is a con, but my brother-in-law put the money in and only he can request the funds be returned. He believes S****** is on the up and up.

Sorry, but there are perfectly viable legal paths to take action in such cases and if the parties involved have that much at stake there would surely be local counsel to intervene on your relative's behalf.

Be sure to let us know if and when a viable case is or can be made. But until then, posting names without any credible evidence isn't something that the Quatloos site will help spread.

I was wondering if your brother-in-law ever got the money. My friend has a similar transaction with people of the same name and the "bank" is holding the money. There has been a lot of excuses of why the money has not been received. Any help would be appreciated.

Judge Roy posted the answer a year ago: demand in writing, then complain to law enforcement. If law enforcement views it as a civil matter - that happens - then get a lawyer and sue. They can't make endless excuses to a prosecutor or court.
