Asif Zamir: Accused of massive fraud

Ok, I wasn't sure if I would post this, mainly because I thought it might go somewhere, but now I'm not so sure.

I was contacted by somebody who accuses Asif Zamir of having committed fraud against individuals and a church. The amount that the accuser says he and the others have lost is $450,000. I have no way of verifying if this is true, but as I have said before, if you have been a victim of Asif Zamir, contact the police in Toronto. Provide proof. File a complaint with the RCMP.

Maybe, just maybe, the police will hunt down Asif Zamir and arrest him. It is my most fervent wish that Asif Zamir spends his life hiding, looking over his shoulder and fearing eternal damnation for what he has done.

Asif Zamir: Call the Toronto police

Hi All,

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Here's the deal. The RCMP has the Asif Zamir dossier. They also recommend that each of us contact the Toronto Police Services at the following address:

40 College ST
Toronto,ON
M5G 2J3
(416) 808-7300

Just call them. We all know that the Peel police department doesn't care about this, but seeing as Asif Zamir scams people from the Toronto area, this is the way to go.

Anybody who wants my support on this, just let me know. I will happily spend a few days in Toronto to testify against Asif Zamir.

To RR who left the comment in the last post: Let me know how I can help.

New blog

This takes me no time, so I started a new blog called: http://myacumenisascam.blogspot.com/ check it out.

Asif Zamir and myacumen.com: Just another PO box

Thanks to Mike for checking out the listed address from the www.myacumen.com website. As I suspected it is just a PO box. Of course Asif Zamir does not have an office, he's a two-bit fraudster. Anybody who can pay a private detective can stake the place out and give your letter of demand to Asif Zamir personally. If you do that, make sure you take a picture of him.

www.myacumen.scam

Myacumen is a scam website that demands payment upfront and does not deliver the goods. Chances are it is not a registered company. Give your money to www.myacumen.com and you will never see it again.

Asif Zamir = www.myacumen.com

Hi All.

Asif Zamir is www.myacumen.com.

Asif Zamir used to have a website called Blue Ocean International (www.bointernational.com). This is the site that he used to give credibility to his fraudulent ebay transactions. If you had called the 800 number on the site you would have found it disconnected. The site offered poorly defined business consulting services for a flat rate, paid in advance, of course. I am guessing that the site was not a raging success.

Once Asif Zamir got into trouble and was found out and apparently banned from ebay for fraudulent transactions like mine, his website was taken down for lack of payment.

Now Asif Zamir has set up a new site called http://www.myacumen.com. This site offers similar services to the other, and, although the look and feel are different from bointernational.com, it is clearly based entirely on the old site, right down to the stock photos of offices and the chummy multicultural young people photo.

He now focuses on offering website development for small businesses for a flat fee of $250 (paid upfront, of course). How can he develop a website for such a low cost? Well, that's how I found the site, in fact.

Asif Zamir hired some web developers over the internet. They worked for him and he promised to pay them. The problem is, he never paid them. Then they started to look into what kind of a person Asif Zamir is, and they found my site. Then they gave me the URL for myacumen.com.

So, this time the fraud was committed against the web developers rather than the customers. I am sure, however, that eventually some of these people who pay upfront will not see their products. This is how Asif Zamir seems to work. He starts by actually delivering at an unsustainably low price, then once he has a bit of a track record of delivering, he goes for the big scores and commits larger frauds. He did it with the camera equipment, delivering a few pieces to customers, getting some good feedback and then reeling in the bigger purchases which he never delivers on.

There is already a consulting firm in the Toronto area called Acumen. I am sure that Asif Zamir did not trademark the Acumen name, so I hope this company sues him for trademark infringement.

I am also sure that he has not registered or incorporated Acumen as a company. And I am sure he is not declaring whatever he makes as income. So, all of his ill-gotten income is tax-free, off the books. This is income tax evasion and fraud.

I have not visited the address on the website which is:

250 The East Mall, Suite 1687
Toronto, Ontario M9B 6L3
Canada

I am pretty sure that it is a PO box. There is no way that Asif Zamir can pay rent on an actual office, but if anybody ever gets the chance to look into it, let me know. I have already sent him a registered letter of demand that he refused to accept (because he knew it was an invitation to pay me or see me in court), so the next time I send a letter, it will be in person. On the off chance that there is an office there Asif Zamir is there as well, give him my regards... and call the police.

Asif Zamir: Lucky Victim #13

Yes, that's right, another victim has contacted me, bilked out of almost $900 for a Nikon D80 body. That makes 13. Do you think Asif Zamir buys himself little gifts with the money that he steals, or does he live off of this income?

Asif Zamir: What he sounds like...

I have finally obtained a digitized voice recording of Asif Zamir from one of his victims. I can confirm that this is indeed his voice, and all of his other victims will surely recognize its Owen Meany-esque timbre.

Click here to listen to Asif Zamir lie

What you will notice is how nice he sounds. Interesting how Asif Zamir can claim to be a Christian who is involved in homeless charities in Toronto, how he can come across as a benign well-intentioned person on the phone, and then commit acts of fraud that amount to over $30,000 (that we know of).

Asif Zamir continues to hide, to the point of having removed the word "Pickering" from his blog because it may help his victims and the police locate him.

The hunt continues...

Asif Zamir Must Be Brought to Justice

The comment in the previous post seems to indicate that Asif Zamir's whereabouts are known. If that is the case then that information would be of great use to many of us with the desire and means to seek reparations from Asif Zamir.

All I need is the information on where to find him and Asif Zamir will be flooded with lawsuits, so, if you can tell me where to send the bailiffs, I will publish it and it will be all over for Asif Zamir's career as a crook.

Ebay's Opinion? Asif Zamir is a Scammer

I haven't really emphasized this before, but when I filed a dispute on ebay regarding the Asif Zamir's failure to provide the merchandise I paid for, Asif Zamir did not respond. I then filed for compensation as a victim of fraud. Ebay investigated and found in my favour and compensated me $175 USD as a victim of fraud on ebay. $175 is the maximum amount that ebay compensates fraud victims.

So, if anybody has any lingering doubts that Asif Zamir is a crook, think about the above.

Asif Zamir: Thief, Liar

Hi All! I'm back!

There have been some developments since I've been away. There are - let's see - 4 new victims. Two victims from the usual camera equipment scam and two that Asif scammed into doing work for him to the tune of well over $20,000 and then never paid.

It looks like Asif Zamir is getting back into business and he hopes to start anew and forget his sordid little past. Of course, his business is fraud, so if the 12 of us just go away, he'll just create more victims until somebody puts a stop to it.

The good news is that the more victims we have the more interesting Asif becomes as a target of a criminal investigation. The bad news is that there are more victims.

I am amazed by how many people who were scammed 1 - 1.5 years ago still Google Asif to try to find something out about him. He obviously doesn't care about the misery that he creates, but the fact that a victim from July 2006 contacted me after Googling Asif in December 2007 shows that the psychological impact of fraud is profound.

Victims who write me have likened Asif's fraud to the most intimate of violations. I certainly feel violated, stupid and gullible. This is worse than having you house broken into; home theft doesn't involve a gross violation of trust.
