Fraud alert about Rashid Javed,

(55597)
Saturday, November 7, 2009 10:11 AM 

All visitors are informed that a person named Rashid Javed is committing many frauds by opening accounts in all banks and than asking people to deposit token money online or via checks in accounts owned by Rashid Javed by offering direct deals at much lower rates than market for prime locations or DHA files etc.


He is an educated person a smart talker with very smooth English. He is mostly offering good deals like facing park or corner plots like plots in by pretending a on line property dealer or a direct seller ( He has defrauded many property dealer and direct buyers in DHA Lahore market including Lahore Real Estate in pat few weeks). Because of his lower prices many dealers and direct buyers are sending small token money to him like Rs 10000 to 25000. He makes a deal and asks you to make online deposit of small amount before he will send you papers.



Let me explain you how he have done last two frauds that I know. This person offered to sell a DHA 8 file and offered to pay 1% commission to my staff if he gets a good price.He checked rates daily from my staff. He was in touch with my staff for more than 2 weeks and finely agrees to sell files. He said he will not send papers unless we make a deposit of money online. My staff told him we will not make deposit in account unless papers are faxed and verified from DHA that Rashid Jawed is true and current owner. He will insist many dealers back of from offers so a token must be deposited. Normally 50000 to 100000 token is paid to lock the deal. He asked my staff to submit Rs 5000 or 10000 first and only than he will fax papers medially and rest of the 90000 money will be deposited in same account after you get papers verified etc.My staff took chance deposited Rs 10000 and waited for papers. Paper never came. He immediately got money withdrawn from account and turned of his phone. When phone came on again he had very funny songs like main luti gayi etc :).


In second case he gave an advertisement in Jang and offered to sell a plot in DHA Lahore phase 6. He gave a phone number of England when called on this number said because call may be expensive you could call his agent in Pakistan named Amir butt. Amir butt was than called by direct buyers and property dealers. A person named Abrar saw the newspaper advertisement and than called the number printed in newspaper. Dealer said owner of facing park plot A 101 in DHA 6 Lahore is in England and his name is Rashid Javed and willing to make a deal at offered price of buyer . Mr Amid butt than made a deal with person and told owner i Rashid Javed is not in Pakistan so please make a deposit online so Mr Rashid Javed can lock the deal and send all needed documents for transfer etc. As soon as this direct buyer Abrar sahib made an online deposit and called back to Amir butt he found out his phone no and England phone no is now off.

Interesting thing here is that ORIGINAL plot owner of DHA Lahore phase 6 plot 101 and the buyer Abrar that got defrauded for this plot by Rashid Javed and Rashid Javed are all website visitors of Lahore Real Estate. Since plot A 101 was offered for sale many dealers that have DHA plot owners phone numbers data lists started to call actual plot owner in Canada and asked him to make a direct deal with than if they find a buyer for him. Original plot owner said he never allowed any one to sell this plot and going to make his house there. Since owner was a frequent visitor of LahoreRealEstate.Com he called me and asked my advice about what to do because some one else in England is trying to sell his DHA Lahore phase 6 plot A 101. I told him NO ONE can sell his plot other than him in DHA Lahore.

Mr Abrar the direct buyer from newspaper advertisement is also a frequent visitor of LahoreRealEstate.Com and called me to ask my advice how to deal with this guy Rashid Javed that have taken token money online for making a deal for DHA Lahore phase 6 plot A 101 but fails to pickup his phone now. I told him 2 3 days I got a call from original owner this plot from Canada and he have told him he is not selling this plot and I also told him we both have also been victim of this fraud like many other dealers in DHA Lahore.

Police don't register a fraud case because we don't have any thing other than online deposit slip. Police charges you more than 10000 to register a case in most cases so I never bothered to file a police case. They say perhaps you made online deposit for loan payback money so we will not register a case.

Bank wont give us any details without police case because their bank reputation hurts and they say their is no proof account holder defrauded you. They say you must have verified the owner name and other details before making deposit.

DHA will also not get involved because Rashid Javed never offered any papers to any dealer of direct buyer.


I request all visitors of this web site to please please please don't deal with any unknown dealers and direct buyers advertising in local newspapers and on internet. A dealer or direct buyer should not make any online or check deposit to people he have no met and have not checked their original NIC cards. Only deal with DHA registered dealers and dealers that you for long time and know their offices etc.


Please see attached bank account deposit slip where Lahore Real Estate made deposit to Rashid Javed. If there is any visitor that works in Standard charted bank please provide me address of person Rashid Javed that is holder of this account number. It will be helpful if NIC copy is also provided too if not too much trouble for you.

Please also be very alert when you are told by a dealer or direct seller that papers are in a bank locker etc. No papers no verification no online deposit to any one.

Please also check Jang Nov 2009 advertisement for this plot where direct buyer Mr Abrar sahib got defrauded.

Thank you CMY for informing us. These type of people are every where and it is good to publish their names and activities. 4 years back I also faced same situation. There was a property dealer named Khalid Minhas in I-9 Islamabad. He tried to do the same thing and wanted to get Rs.250000/- for a house in I-10/4, with a photocopy of transfer letter with a claim that original documents were in bank Lockers. Thanks to one of my Uncle, who insisted on showing the original documents before we make any token payment. May Allah guide these people and protect us all from all wrong doings. I am a true believer that if my money is halal and clean then it is protected by Allah.

Dear CMY

Thank you very much CMY for informing the general public from such like people. May Allah punish such people and protect us all from the fraud of these people.

I pray you all should join me in praying that the money made by this Rashid Javed from CMY and direct buyer Mr Abrar should be used in making Rashid Javed's GRAVE,Ameen.

CMY Sahib,
The number in newspaper is not a UK number. I tried to call that number from UK and it's going to a message in URDU. "is number sa jawab moosool nahee ho raha ha"
He is clever person and must have taken the number through online service like Skipe ect.

Cant anyone get the account holder`s details from the bank ? As now a days it is mendatory to submit a CNIC Copy to open an account.

And I believe that if anyone shows all the correspondence(if any) to the bank which can include his advertisements or the email in which he mentioned his account number, Then I think bank should cooperate to locate such fraud people.

Internet scam and getting money on false business deals is also common in the developed World. Identity theft and theft of bank account numbers is on the increase. A person like CMY should not have fallen prey to this kind of a thug.
* Safegurd your identity.
* Don't respond to Emails from people whom you don't know.
* Never deal in property till you are sure of the title.
*Never close your deal till you are face to face with the buyer/seller.
* Property dealers are great at making an emergency out of an ordinary situation.Be cool, don't jump to conclusions.
* Know the dealer, this forum has a good person like CMY and may be others. All in property dealing are not frauds. If I deal in property I will not deal with or through an unknown person/dealer.

I would recommend everyone involved in a property transaction to verify a sellers ID card through a simple process:

Type the persons ID card number (without the dashes) and sms it to 7000.
You'll get a reply message stating the persons name and father name against the ID card number.

It isn't foolproof but definitely makes one more secure against fraud.

Regards

Dear CMY
You are one of the major brokers in the DHA. You should consider setting up a Central Information Bureau type of Information database about the past dealings of people. If someone has been involved in giving fake cheques / not honouring his legal obligations / offering false documents etc. his name should be reported. Mechanics can be worked out between the DHA and the dealers. It will greatly enhance confidence and speed of transactions.
