Description

Initially met on a dating site. Dan uses dating sites to seek out women, and then scams them for money with bogus investments. Dan Andrade asked if I play stocks and if I would trust him on a stock tip for a high rate of return (40% in 7 weeks). He said he used to do residential mortgages for Royal Bank and CIBC, he now works for Attorney General (yes works for our Government!) and he said he runs his own international commercial brokerage. Dan told me he brokers deals for friends and family that need money to complete the build, get occupancy permit and then they can apply for conventional mortgages. Dan promised me it was totally secured loan because he registers a lien on title with his lawyer. When the build is complete, the builder (his friend) applies for conventional mortgage, the lien gets paid out to Dan's lawyer and Dan's lawyer pays the money to Dan, Dan then pays the money to me, the private lender. Dan is a very smooth talker and has an answer for everything. He got very verbally hostile when friends and family got involved with talking to him about this too-good-to-be-true-scam. Dan guaranteed me a 40% return verbally within 7 weeks, but his Promissory Note paperwork showed 90 days. When he was questioned about the time frame change, he again had an answer for everything and said he had to protect himself as building completions always run into delays. And delays there were. January 31, 2022 was my final e-transfer to Dan Andrade, and by July 22, 2022 I took him to small claims court and won. I have been garnishing his government pay cheque every 2 weeks until the last couple of weeks the garnishing payments have stopped. I am not sure if he is on government work leave or got fired. Either way he now has a website https://andradefinancialgroup.ca/ Please stay far away from this thief. BC Securities Commissions and BC Mortgage Brokers are investigating him. Police file is still open as well. Lots more information.
