Syed Jamaluddin likes to describe himself as a political commentator and author. Read his 'books', if you can get past the poorly written text and pidgin english, and you'll realise he's neither of these. Instead, he's a man without a profession desperately seeking attention, living in Germany having sought asylum, and funding himself through a series of financial fraud schemes which we will outline below.

Ultimately he is a typical small time fraudster with big dreams. He'd like to be the Wolf of Wall Street, but he's just the donkey of Karachi.

A resemblance in appearance and character

The Anatomy of a Fraud Operation

We have received the entire bulk of Jamaluddin's communications with several of his victims. These emails and SMS messages detail how he ropes victims in with glittering promises and then begins abusing them once he's squeezed out as much money as possible from them in 'up front fees' and various other 'charges' - charges for a service that never materialises.

We will begin publishing these emails in the coming days and weeks in order to prevent further innocent victims from losing their hard earned funds to this shameless confidence trickster.

Please see our many other posts over the past several months for evidence on how this fraudster operates.

Our advice to anyone who is thinking of getting into business with this idiot, and doubts our evidence, is very simple:
Involve a reputable and experienced European lawyer from the very beginning and ask him/her what they think of jamaluddin's 'contracts' and his 'company'. Any genuine experienced lawyer will recognise this immediately for what it is: a scam.

You will find many of Jamaluddin's victims also on another blog, begging for help and advice now that he's swallowed their money.

EDIT: Since writing this post, we have been advised not to publish the correspondence as it could 'prejudice' legal proceedings in Germany and the UK. We have however been sent some other material which again proves how obvious a scam this is. We will publish that shortly.

Jamal abuses yet more victims

We have come to be familiar with Syed Jamaluddin's dirty gutter language. Those of you who follow this blog will have seen it on several occasions, such as here.

The general pattern is always the same - he uses flowery and accommodating language before he gets your money, and then within a few weeks - when you start asking questions about what's happening - he reverts to his natural state.

The question we are all asking ourselves is: is this man mentally stable?

Have a look at his latest ravings below (click to enlarge).


If you're wondering who 'Raza' is - it's his dumb sidekick who introduced us to him and helped him scam several of us.

The short answer to his 'come to germany' goading is this:
On several occasions we have each gone to Germany to confront him about stealing our money. He has then suddenly become 'busy', 'gone abroad', or simply vanished whenever any of us are in Heidelberg.

He talks big, but urinates himself when anyone actually turns up to confront him. None of us have the time to play these hide and seek games with him anymore.

Jamaluddun abuses a new victim

You may have noticed, on this blog, some comments from people attempting to defend the fraudster and confidence trickster Syed Jamaluddin. They were, evidently, fresh victims of his fraud operation who were giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Now that, just as in every other case, he has failed to meet any of his commitments long after the terms agreed have expired, the victims who were previously defending him are asking what he's done with their up front fees of thousands of dollars, and their corporate cheques. The responses they received are below. This racist, vulgar and street trash language is by now familiar to all those who have had the misfortune of dealing with this criminal. Beware.

Police Investigation

Dear all,

A police investigation is officially underway in Germany into Syed Jamaluddin's activities. Several victims have now passed on their evidence to the authorities. It will take time as these things do, but we are confident, given the mass of evidence against him and the fact that the authorities are now taking this seriously, that Jamaluddin will be behind bars or on the run sooner or later.

If you are one of the many victims of this confidence trickster, and you wish to add your evidence and complaint to this investigation, please email us at controversialninja@gmail.com and we will pass you the contact details of the investigating officer.

In solidarity.

Lies, Lies and more Lies

We notice Jamaluddin's blog from where he recruits his clients/victims was earlier deleted. It has since been restored. Bizarre.

Currently he is attacking journalist Hassan Ghani, who he claims has been 'blackmailing' and attempting to 'extort' money from him for the past six months. (How it's possible to extort money from someone who evidently doesn't have any is something we're still trying to understand.)

Now compare his nonsense about Hassan Ghani 'blackmailing' him for the 'past six months' with his recent email below (click to enlarge):



In fact Ghani, like all the other victims, has simply been asking for the return of the money Jamaluddin has defrauded - not for himself, but for his friends at Dostaan FZE in the UAE. He has told us Dostaan and several other companies have now filed a criminal complaint with the police in Heidelberg.

As always, Jamaluddin is a compulsive, pathological liar. Almost every word that comes out his mouth is nonsense.

Lawyer's Opinion after observing Jamaluddin's scam

Here's an email from a lawyer employed by TMC (another victim of Jamaluddin) in Germany, sent at an earlier date. Note that in his professional opinion, and after having examined Jamaluddin's 'contracts' and communications, he designates the operation a fraud. No surprise there.

A criminal investigation has been opened in Germany against Jamaluddin, which should bear fruit in the coming weeks or months. If you'd like to add your complaint to the investigation, please email us on controversialninja@gmail.com and we will pass you the email address and phone number of the investigating police officer.

Jamaluddin runs away from face to face meeting AGAIN

Just as he did previously, Jamaluddin has run away when faced with meeting one of his victims. He avoids facing 'clients' who have figured out how his scam operates at all costs. He may well agree to meet you however if you are fresh meat.

This week representatives from Goldrock Global Trade PTE visited Heidelberg, Germany. Despite all his big talk, upon hearing of their arrival Jamaluddin suddenly left town (and then returned the day after their departure).

What we are dealing with is a smalltime scammer and confidence trickster. What he says, and what he does, are usually complete opposites. We have hundreds of emails that are testimony to this.

Take a look at one of his emails below prior to the visit of the Goldrock reps. Note the attempt to impress by mentioning an 'American express credit card' - which might impress Jamaluddin's own village people back in Pakistan, but not any serious businessperson.

Jamaluddin Forging Contracts and Documents

More evidence, if more was needed, of Jamaluddin's fraudulent activities.

Argo International Inc. has confirmed in writing that Syed Jamaluddin's 'contracts' in its name are forgeries. Please see the letter below.


As Jamaluddin has inadvertently drawn attention to this blog himself by mentioning it everywhere, we have started receiving more and more documents, emails and contracts from Jamaluddin's various victims. There is just too much information and incriminating evidence to go through.

We are getting hits from around the world - US, UK, Ireland, India, South Africa, UAE, Canada, Nigeria, Macedonia, Malaysia, France, Pakistan, Finland and others. Perhaps an indication of where Jamaluddin's target victims are.

This blog is in no way, as Jamaluddin has claimed (albeit against the wrong person), an attempt to extort money or make demands of Jamaluddin (we all know he has no money anyway). It is an attempt to save potential future victims from the stress and losses we have suffered. The blog is written and shared by several individuals - victims and friends of victims.

We have been told a legal case has also been handed to the public prosecutor in Germany.

Syed Jamaluddin - the keyboard warrior

From: Hassan Ghani
Date: 23 January 2014
Subject: Regarding the bullshit on your blog from Jamaluddin
To: "controversialninja@gmail.com" <controversialninja@gmail.com>


I see Jamaluddin keeps trying to be the big man, both on his own blog and yours, and is throwing down the gauntlet to anyone to come and 'debate' with him in person. Please see the extracts from emails below to see what happened the last time I tried to meet him, accompanied by a lawyer, to oversee his 'work'.

Despite all his bravado from behind the keyboard, he wet his pants at the thought of facing a legal expert, and went into hiding and avoided us for an entire week while I waited for him in Germany.

Initially we asked to meet on Monday. Jamaluddin then told us to meet him on Wednesday. Wednesday came and Jamaluddin refused to answer my calls and instead emailed us to tell us to meet him on Friday. In the run up to Friday he continued to refuse my calls, so I called him from a dutch number and he answered, and then started talking about all sorts of irrelevant rubbish and refused to answer whether he would meet us or not.

After that he stopped responding altogether and just hid from me. Finally I had to give up and go home.

Notice how he panics and feels threatened immediately from the start at hearing the mention of a lawyer - in the real financial world it is standard practise for lawyers to be involved in the process from start to finish to oversee transactions and due diligence - but in Jamaluddin's world a lawyer means trouble as his bullshit could be exposed.

Needless to say, the firm below did not receive any funding from Jamaluddin, despite him taking 20,000 USD in up front fees. Another tragic story, just like all the rest.

An Uncanny Resemblance

Does this troubling image of Jamaluddin with his 'friends' in Romania seem familiar to you?



We thought so too. And then we realised why.

Yet Another Victim

We've been forwarded this email of yet another of Jamaluddin's victims. Just HOW MANY people has this individual defrauded of funds?

The email below is from the victim to Robert Vekich. Jamaluddin had a representation agreement with Robert, the CEO of Argo USA, however that was terminated in March 2013. Like all those who've dealt with Jamaluddin and then discovered his true nature, Robert has disowned Jamaluddin and distanced himself from his fraud operation.

Dear Mr Robert,
Good day to you over there.
We are clients of Argo International and referral to other clients to Argo.
In January, 2013 we sought for a financing solution to issue a Stanby Letter of Credit as Performance bond to a Client who in turn was to issue us a DLC to purchase Crude Oil from our company.We were then referred to Argo International GmbH Germany represented by Syed Jamaluddin who covered ASIA, MIDDLE EAST and AFRICA. We then began coresspondences with Mr Jamaluddin via emails, sms and Phone calls.At the beginning we were given an SBLC Agreement which you jointly signed with Mr Jamaluddin.At the end of the day,  because of some logistics delays, we opted for your Cheque Discounting Program through Mr Jamalluddin whom we believed was representing your AFRICAN region. We then introduced to him our client PHASE INTERNATIONAL CO. LTD GHANA who issued a POST DATED CHEQUE of $2 million for discounting  in favour of ARGO INTERNATIONAL GMBH GERMANY dated November 28, 2014. Our client paid the sum of $15,000 against an invoice issued by Argo International Gmbh on 15th November,2013 for the issuance of MT 199 to support the issued Cheque and was acknowleged by Mr Syed Jamaluddin. My Jamaluddin said the Cheque woul be discounted within 15 banking days of confirmation of payment of swift charges for the MT 199. Today makes it about 50  banking days and up till date the funds have not been remitted to the account of Phase International Co. Ltd Ghana as per the Agreement signed with Argo International GmbH. A lot of frustrations have trailed our client's request to know the current update on the funds remittance. the replies got from Mr Jamaluddin were not specific and dates were not consistently adhered to on several occasions. After several calls and sms, the last message today 17th January 2014 from Mr Jamaluddin to our client was " Do you have mental problem" ? This actually surprised us and was very embarrassing to our client and therefore we decided to contact you on this in order to have your kind and professional advice on the matter in view to solving the problem on ground. We appeal to you to kindly request Mr SYED JAMALUDDIN to give you a comprehensive update on the discounting so as to know exactly when the funds will be received by our account.

We count on you sir.

Argo Wealth Management LLC?

Just a quick update to say we've noticed Jamaluddin has started renaming his fraud operation. It has changed from 'Argo International GmbH' to 'Argo Wealth Management LLC' with an address in Las Vegas. No doubt this will be another mailbox operation like his previous and like RSI Bank.

Is this an attempt to escape justice as prosecution against him begins in Germany?

He won't get far. As an aslyum seeker he travels on a German passport which must be renewed every three years. When prosecutions begin in Germany, and if he absconds, he will be extradited back to Germany should he land in any country with an extradition treaty with Germany (most countries). Watch this space.

'Noted Political Expert' - Not Quite

Jamaluddin attempts to portray himself as a 'noted political expert' and author. This is a cover and distraction for his financial fraud schemes. The actual books he's written are of substandard quality, and are copy-and-paste jobs from other publications.

We've already shown, further down on this blog, how this 'noted political expert' has never been interviewed by any respectable news organisation, and the 'interviews' (if you can call them that) that do exist of him online are all conducted by the same woman using a home video camera and reading her questions off a sheet of paper below the camera (one of them sounds and looks as if it's been filmed in a toilet/kitchen). The contents of those 'interviews' are also laughable.

But you don't need to take my word for this. Have a look at some of the reviews of his self-published 'book' by those unfortunate enough to have paid for a copy, which is probably more useful as toilet paper than as reading material. The few positive reviews are written in a style that indicate those reviewers haven't actually read the book, but just agree with the title, 'Divide Pakistan'.

From Amazon:

S. Skariah
"Complete garbage. I'm Indian and even I wouldn't use this book to line my dog's kennel. Much of the author's facts and analysis are way off the mark and wouldnt be taken seriously by any Indian strategists, even the most hawkish elements.

For a good and insightful analysis of Pakistan see Stephen Cohen's Pakistan, Carol Weaver's Pakistan (I forgot the exact title), Bennett Jones's Pakistan: In the eye of the storm, Richard Clarke's Defeating the Jihadists.

Basically everything except this book."


Junaid Arshad
"It doesn't take very long to realize that Mr. Jamaluddin's arguments are highly flawed. He is ill-versed in history , Islam, and even current affairs. Someone with little common sense (forget about literary sense) would not present arguments in such a bizarre way.  I don't understand how such a garbage got published. Don't waste your money and time."


redman
"The tensions between Pakistan's various ethnic groups, and the potential division of the nation, is indeed a subject matter worthy of detailed discussion and discourse. However, this is an extremely disappointing amateurish work. It's poorly written, the arguments are weak and overly simplistic, and it provides no real insight into Pakistan's current state of affairs.

For anyone genuinely interested in the plight of minorities in Pakistan today, try other sources. This is painfully bad to read and a complete waste of time."


Ravi K. Ramsinghani
"ok i am an Indian and i thoroughly enjoyed this book by a exiled Pakistani traitor but still the quality of his writing and the whole interface of the book was pathetic which is quite expected from an illiterate Pakistani."



Raza Ali Agha
"Many authors have touched upon the idea of a division of Pakistan, especially since East Pakistan became Bangladesh in the early 1970s. Much of the debate that exists on this front is dominated by the notion that Pakistan lacks a unified national identity, necessary in the sustainability of a nation state. In present day condition, talk about the division of Pakistan is not only rooted in history of the country, but is also the result of the dominance of certain ethnicities and certain classes over most others. A sustained rise in inequality that this has resulted in is thus another factor.

I bought this book thinking at least some of these issues would be discussed. However, this book is a complete waste of money. Its poorly written, poorly argued, and a mockery has been made of the issue. I would not recommend this to anyone who is a serious student of Pakistan."


Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani
"The book is all garbage. Majority of the contents are collection of articles and excerpts from different writers. Author tries to link all these together for his evil intentions. How can USA have 5 pervaiz musharrafs to take care of their business if we divided the pakistan in 5 individual countries.

The chapter of "Tableeghi Jamaat" is a total mess. Author lives in his world of imagination without any clue of reality.

Actually, it seems that the author wanted to cash the idea of "war on terror" like many more.

Overall no Star, waste of time and money."


M. Sheikh
"This book is a wastage of money. Total trash! author has collected a few articles mostly found on propaganda sites to put together a book just to take advantage of the current war on terror situation. People like Syed Jamaludin are either funded by enemy governments or are trying to cash in on people's ignorance. This guy is not only misguiding people but falsifying facts. This book is not recommended to anyone as it does more harm than good. The only person who gains from this book is the author himself, who is written it to make some money. This is terrorism in the name of education."


P. Akhtar
"WOW!! I HAVE NEVER read anything more inaccurate. TOTAL grabage. "



Jawad Usman
"What a waste of paper is this book. What a waste of space is what is between those two ears."


Muhammad A. Kemal
"The author may or may not belongs to any political party or anti Pakistan group but he is not well equipped with the history of Pakistan. Moreover, he does not have information in Tableeghi Jamat. It's a misleading book which may cause more hatred in the heart of people. We should all condemn it."

The one that got away

Here's an email from Ian Tuppen, a company director from the UK who sniffed a rat when he visited Jamaluddin in Germany and realised it was an advance fee fraud early on, and so managed to escape relatively unharmed. But while he didn't send any money to Jamaluddin, Jamaluddin (or one of his partners in crime) forged Ian Tuppen's signature on several documents.

Please do check all our other posts on this blog regarding Jamaluddin and the growing rafts of evidence against him (see the 'blog archive' on the right side). Legal proceedings against him have begun in Germany with a complaint to the public prosecutor.

Hi,
I have read the various messages passing between SJ and all the various other parties.

This pointless rhetoric achieves nothing other than cause hypertension.

Cutting to the chase, a number of parties have paid SJ some €20k per time for MT199 messages from some fictitious bank that will somehow add credibility to promissory notes (post dated cheques) that are otherwise worthless.

But he has NEVER delivered any MT199 quite simply because he cannot.  Although a SWIFT MT199 is not a 'value' message (it is just textual) no genuine bank is going to ever get involved in such a scam.

Basically what he offers is best outlined as follows:

You pay me €20k and give me a post dated cheque for several million made payable to my (worthless) limited company and I will arrange for you to borrow around 80% of the face value of the cheque from a lender with no other security.  Why would any lender risk €1 on such a flimsy, preposterous basis let alone millions of euro?  Even if some MT199 issued by a bank that is different to the bank that the cheque is drawn on says something in terms that "we hereby confirm that John Smith's cheque is backed by cash and will be honoured when presented" where would that get anybody?  What bank would EVER contemplate leaving itself open to legal and criminal proceedings for its 'share' of €20k? And furthermore what security would any such (imaginary) MT199 add to the situation? Answer: NONE

Everybody needs to understand that Syed Jamaluddin is a confidence trickster.  His trade is to scam people out of their money.  He is a fat worthless gambler.  He is of no fiscal or moral substance whatsoever.  He just steals money wherever he can to fund a debaucherous lifestyle.

There is no point in getting into arguments with him.  That is all part of the game for him.  He is one of the most vile individuals I have ever come across.  What he offers is pure fiction.  He cannot deliver nor ever has he been able to deliver nor can anybody deliver this type of thing.  It is like selling  €50 notes for 50c each.  There is no such thing as a free lunch!!

I was interested to see that he had made somebody else denounce that Raza stooge in the same way that he did with me yet soon after I saw the two of them sat eating together.

It is all bullshit.  He is a THIEF and a LIAR

I think the best way is for the German police to be informed and let them charge him with fraud and send him back to Pakistan.

Please feel free to disseminate this email as you see fit.  Should you wish to send it to that fat idiot that also is fine.

Regards
Ian

Update on Jamaluddin's Fake Bank Guarantees

We've received further information and evidence from Dostaan FZE regarding the BGs that Syed Jamaluddin has been emailing his 'clients'. He usually provides these after several months of delays, failures and lies, as evidence that he is financially capable and is 'doing something' with your money.

As mentioned earlier they are from an institution named 'RSI Bank PLC'.

Dostaan FZE has sent us the following information:

"Please have a look at the addresses for RSI Bank listed on the supposed 'Bank Guarantees' and on its website.

RSI Bank's registered address is in a relatively prestigious part of London. However, the address, '124 Baker Street', is not a bank or even an office. It is just a mailing box shared with dozens if not hundreds of other 'companies', some of whom are frauds.
Here are just a few examples:
So next we turned to the 'Business Place Address' of RSI Bank PLC, which is in a much less glamorous part of London - Turnpike Lane.

We tried calling the phone number on the Bank Guarantee but nobody would answer. So we went there in person. What we found at 1 Turnpike Lane, Suite #9, Chris Aria House, was an office occupied by a travel/holiday agent 'Frontline Travel and Tours'

When I asked the travel agent about 'RSI Bank PLC' he was aware of it, but said it had no desks or office here. He instead give me the number of someone called 'Sikander', who he said would come round from time to time.

I called this 'Sikander'. He was not interested in talking about Jamaluddin, not interested in the Bank Guarantees for 10 MILLION EUROS printed with his 'bank's' name and he eventually hung up the phone on me when I asked to meet him in person. What he did say, before he hung up the phone, was that he hadn't spoken to Jamaluddin for THREE MONTHS.

His number is +44 7904 273711, please feel free to call him yourself.


In summary, 'RSI Bank' claims to be registered and operate from the UK, but it does not exist in any meaningful form in the UK, has no offices or representatives, and seems like an operation which exists online only. The dodgy bank guarantees are just another part of Jamaluddin's elaborate scam operation to swallow advance fees and provide people the illusion that he is doing something on their behalf, until they get bored and give up and walk away. He has proven through his actions over a period of several years and with many victims that he is incapable and impotent when it comes to any genuine financial transactions.


I have sent you the video that we took inside the supposed offices of RSI Bank PLC. Please feel free to disseminate this further afield and publish it on your website."








EDIT: Please note, since the time of writing this post, frontline travel and tours have moved office, and RSI bank will probably put another fake address for their offices at some point. If you have contacts in London, feel free to get them to check out the new address for RSI bank and you will probably find a taxi service, tour operator, or drug dealer in the location.

Testimony from Jamaluddin's Fraud Victims

Have a look at the emails below, which are a small selection of the growing numbers of firms that are coming forward who've been defrauded by Jamaluddin. You will see a pattern emerging. Some Email addresses have been censored to protect the firms involved, but the company names are included so you may look them up and contact them yourself.

We have yet to find a single example where a 'transaction' that involves Jamaluddin has been successful (well, they have been successful for him as he's swallowed the advance fees). The very nature of what he is offering is a transparent fraud - how can he possibly discount a cheque and provide finance based on just your corporate cheque and no collateral? It is evident from all we have seen that Jamaluddin has NEVER MONETIZED anything in his life. He is unable to provide any evidence to show that he has, despite all his grand claims.

Goldrock Global Trade (Singapore)
"We are a company based in Singapore in the name of GOLDROCK GLOBAL TRADE PTE LTD. Here is our story of being cheated by Syed Jamaluddin of Argo International Gmbh, Germany. We first received a marketing email from him dt- March 18, 2013. Then, someone called Rene Forbi talked to us as representative of Jamaluddin Syed. He introduced him to us directly. Jamal claimed that he has a provider capable of issuing SBLC from top bank of UK for USD 5 million in our bank acceptable format, on receipt of MT199 for his lease fee. That he can arrange the required message MT 199 from his firm ARGO International GmbH, on receipt of USD 15000 as MT199 issuing charges and within 2-3 days of the receipt of the funds the SBLC will be sent to our account. Thus, the contract was signed accordingly and the funds was remitted on 29-05-2013. Once, the funds was transferred he began showing his true colours.

He wasted more than 6 months, everyday telling new stories of issuance of SBLC. After, the contract was signed to issue the instrument from a Prime Bank within 2-3 days of the receipt of funds at his counter and the funds was sent to him with all documentary compliance he said after 2 weeks the instrument was already issued via KTT, which was obsolete long back. Then after a week he said us that the instrument will be issued shortly, and he again killed 3 months with new stories everyday saying the issuer is in contact with the bank. Then, finally the matter was dropped, as he accepted that he was not in a position to perform the contract and we started demanding the refund ever since. He again came up with another option saying that he will issue RSI SBLC of 25mil USD, within a day of your confirmation and will monetise the same, and we have to act only as custodian of SBLC. After confirmation of the same instantly, he passed another 2 months and asked us to meet some provider in Chennai, India. Finally, after meeting them they were again not in a position to perform because of their own issues. Also, the RSI bank instrument is not worth in rags. Finally, he again tried to give another option of Hard copy from RSI SBLC, which we were clearly, not interested in and closed any pending issues on 25 October, 2013 and he agreed to refund the funds within a week, which he again passed  3 months telling stories everyday and till date we have received a refund of USD 1310 only which he sent on 06 Dec, 2013 after repeated followup. 

Since, we had demanded refund he is only trying to find an excuse to cheat our funds and find a fault with us, which he has been unsuccessful. Finally, we got tired of following him up as it is a waste of time to do so. He is not in the intention to refund a single penny, instead he is threatening us to show court. It has also come to our knowledge that we are not the only one who has suffered and lured in his Ponzi schemes. There are a number of other people whom he has cheated. His modus operandi is similar in all transaction and is a clear case of advance fee fraud. He is a Professional Scammer, International Conmen, and a Petty thief.  We also came to know that he does not hold any valid license from the FSA of Germany. 

We have all the documentary evidence and written communication to support our story which can be sent upon demand. We are ready to cooperate in any manner which is required for remedial actions. This type of people are a menace to the society which hampers the international business environment from Germany’s perspective. He should be bought to justice to restore the faith of people in international business transactions. We must unite together to fight against this cheat who believes there is no one to bell him and not allow him to escape with our hard earned money."

Mirage International (India)
"He has taken USD 35 K in Cash from me and is also holding Two Corporate Cheques worth USD 10 M & USD 2 M respectively in Indian Rupees( Copies of which are included in this SCFA Contract).

The Original Hard Copies of the Cheques and SCFA Contract were signed and returned to Jamaluddin on the 26th of August, 2013.The USD 35 K Payment reached his Account with Volksbank, Germany, by the 3 / 4th of September, which details also, I am sending you vide the next mail.

As per the understanding between him and me as well as the Terms mentioned in the SCFA, M/s Argo Intl, was supposed to SOURCE A 100M SBLC, PUT THAT FOR TRADE THROUGH THEIR CONNECTIONS WITH TRADERS / TRADE PLATFORMS AND GIVE ME A PART OF THE TRADE PROCEEDS FOR A 40 WEEK PERIOD, ON A WEEKLY BASIS, AFTER ADJUSTMENT OF THE LEASE COST OF THE SBLC, COMMISSIONS, SERVICE & MANAGEMENT CHARGES FOR ARGO INTL. AND MISC EXPENSES IN THIS REGARD.

The Time Frame mentioned and also mutually agreed for this initial Process and for the First Payout to be released to me, was a Max of 35 Days, from the Date of receipt of the USD 35 K Funds in Syed's Company Account.

The only thing what he has done, that too through the pressure exerted by me, was to provide me a copy of a PURPORTED BG FOR EURO 10 M FROM RSI BANK PLC, LONDON, IN FAVOUR OF MY COMPANY MIRAGE INTL. This BG for all purposes SEEMS FAKE / FORGED and the CREDIBILITY AND GENUINENESS OF THE COMPANY, RSI BANK PLC, is also in serious doubt.

As you are completely aware now, Syed Jamaluddin, has neither delivered on any of his promises rendered till date, nor his commitments towards his Contractual Obligations!

He has been lying to me, putting forth numerous stories and excuses to prolong the core issue and withhold payments to me, which, he should have done as a matter of routine.

He has also not returned either the Advance of USD 35 K and the Two Corporate Cheques taken from me for this supposed Transaction as a gesture of goodwill and decency."

Dostaan FZE (UAE)
"In brief he has taken $20,000 USD from us in 'up front fees' in order to 'facilitate' the discounting of our corporate cheque, which is to the value of 3.4million USD. Over the past six months he has made various excuses for failing to do so. When we have queried him or demanded truthful answers regarding his activities and repeated failures to fulfill his obligations, he has reacted aggressively, abusively and even made derogatory remarks against our religion and ethnicity.

On one occasion he has said the funds are available and has claimed to have sent them to our corporate bank account in UAE, but of course this was nonsense. He also tried to get us involved in what appears to be a suspicious 'server to server' bank transfer, which as far as I am aware is something only for internal banking management, and is otherwise known as a means of money laundering. He then demanded we sign a document providing him with power of attorney for a period of three months, and again assured us of the success of the transaction if we co-operate with his demands, which we did fully and at every stage. We have the email exchanges of all of this.

When all of his excuses were saturated, he then provided us with a copy of a Bank Guarantee from 'RSI Bank PLC' in London in our name, to the value of 10 million Euros.We have sent someone to physically go and check the address of this so called banking institution, and it does not exist. Our friend has taken a video of the offices where it claims to be located, and there is only a travel agent there. Our emails to the bank have resulted in no response, and instead our emails to the 'bank' have somehow ended up with Jamaluddin who has responded to us angrily for making inquiries.

In summary:
- He misappropriated the funds sent to him by us to issue MT199 for our Corporate Cheque.
- Our Corporate Cheque is still with him, despite demands from us to return it.
- He has told us our cheque has been discounted but has never provided us with any proceeds.
- He is holding a BG in the name of Dostaan FZE issued by RSI BANK based in UK again, but refuses to provide us with it, and the BG itself looks suspicious and fraudulent.

As per his own contract, if he is unable to provide the discounting service within 21 working days, the transaction is a failure. It has now been approximately six months, and yet he has refused to return our fees or our corporate cheque. We have suffered major financial losses as a result of his prolonged delays and failures to meet his obligations.

I have attached a copy of the contract he made us sign (mou.zip), and below is a copy of the confirmation email from our corporate bank manager regarding the original transfer of funds to Jamaluddin.

It is my personal belief that this is nothing more than an advance fee fraud. Given the repetitive nature of his activity, and the many firms we have now come into contact with who have suffered the same experience at his hands, I believe Jamaluddin has never successfully discounted any cheque or provided any genuine financial service, nor does he have the ability or intention to do so."

Jamaluddin - The Confidence Trickster

Have a look at and compare the two videos below to see how Jamaluddin makes a mockery of himself. In his attempt to get some sort of acceptance he tries to put on a fake American (Texas?) accent in one video. The content is pretty crap too - he knows nothing about the subject of Kosovo other than what he's seen on the TV, and doesn't even know the demonym for the people of the region - they are Kosovans or Kosovars, not Kosoveeans which he just invents. Makes for hilarious viewing.

This is pretty pathetic behavior from someone who describes himself as a 'noted political expert', which he evidently isn't. 



Here he is in another video, again 'interviewed' by the same woman and filmed on a home movie camera (in the toilet?). This time his accent has disappeared. He's still talking garbage though, and providing hollow discourse littered with cliches, void of substance and full of made up facts (other than the ones he's seen on the TV):



UPDATE:
As people have started coming to the conclusion that they've been swindled, having waited for many months for the conclusion of their 'transactions', which never materialised, they've started commenting on his blog. Jamaluddin, in his typical manner, says one thing and does another. The man literally lies whenever his lips, or his fingers, move.

Take a look at this screenshot of his blog. On the one hand he writes 'I AM NOT DELETING NEGATIVE COMMENTS IN INTEREST OF BEING TRANSPARENT', just after having deleted negative comments which outlined his modus operandi. The other comments that remain do not contain any seriously damaging or relevant information.

List of Jamaluddin's fraud victims

Here are the firms who have been defrauded of funds by Jamaluddin that we know of so far:
Erdem Plastik (Turkey)
Mirage International (India)
Dostaan FZE (UAE)
TMC Ltd (UAE)
Goldrock Global Trade PTE (Singapore)
Kings Highway Nigeria Ltd (Nigeria)
AB Investments (Ukraine)
EFE (S.E.A) Pte Ltd. (Singapore)

Each has paid between 15-35 thousand USD up front for Jamaluddin to discount their corporate cheque(s) (a classic fraud scheme). None have received anything in return, except from excuses, failed commitments, and abuse from Jamalauddin over a period of many months.

We will upload emails from all these firms explaining how Jamaluddin has scammed them one by one.

Note that Jamaluddin avoids doing 'business' (defrauding) with German firms, as he knows the police will be on his back within days. He tends to go for firms based outside the EU, from where it will be difficult and costly to prosecute him.

Worthless Bank Guarantees

If you push him and start demanding some proof that he's doing something, having taken your money up front, then he might provide you, after several months of lies and excuses, with a bank guarantee like the ones below. He gave these to three of his victims, based in the UAE and India. Several others received similar scanned images like these from him.

Please be aware that this 'RSI Bank PLC' doesn't actually exist. Its 'Baker Street' address in London is just a mailbox, and its 'office address' in Turnpike Lane in London simply isn't there. It seems to be another fraudulent operation, like Jamaluddin. After all, thieves work together. If you email the bank, the emails will either bounce back, or the ones that do go through will magically be forwarded to Jamaluddin, who will provide an angry response to you for querying the legitimacy of the bank below.

Ultimately, all of this is a ploy to keep you hanging on for your 'funds', which will never materialise. The plan is to make you give up and forget about the fee you paid him, or at least just accept it as a loss, so he can move on and scam someone else. The value of the money that he demands up front - usually between 15 to 35 thousand USD - is chosen because it is large enough for a worthless loser like him to make a living from, but is too small for firms to spend another 10-20 thousand USD chasing him in the German courts. He's been conducting this scam since at least 2009, from what we've seen, and has managed to evade the consequences so far.

There is no evidence that Jamaluddin has ever monetized anything in his life, but there are MANY firms around the world who've lost significant sums of money.
