Thread: Arnaud Massartic

Has anyone else been contacted by Arnaud Massartic in Los Angeles? He sent me a LinkedIn invitation about six months ago? I checked out his profile and accepted. At the time (he's since changed it), his profile said he ran a multi-billion dollar media fund. Oh, his profile also said he lived in Monaco. Here's a link to his current LinkedIn profile:

Soon after adding me as a LinkedIn contact, he emailed me suggesting we do business together. That's when the nightmare began. He seemed legit at the time. There's a Fortune article online which mentions that Arnaud Massartic owns an $8 million Maybach. Here's the link to the Fortune article:

Birdman's Billion Dollar Dreams - Forbes

Also, Arnuad claimed to have made his billions of dollars from the oil business and even has an email address at the following domain name:

http://www.panamerica.ca/

So I had every reason to believe Arnaud Massartic is a legitimate businessman, right? What followed was an intricate web of lies which recently fell apart. Here's a list of things Arnaud Massartic represented to me:

-He owns multiple cars including Maybachs and Ferraris
-He owns a $30 million house in Bel Air
-He has access to billions of dollars
-He owns property in Monaco
-Owns Panamerican Group
-He personally knows Vladmir Putin
-He owns multiple private jets
-He owns three office buildings in Beverly Hills

All of these things (and many other things he told me) are all lies. I ran a background check which said his residence was a small apartment in Hollywood. According to property records, the house he claimed to own in Bel Air belongs to someone else. I have a very strong business network in Monaco and can say with confidence that Arnaud Massartic does not own property there. I'm guessing Arnaud Massartic's net worth is zero, or less than zero.

Over the several months in which I believed Arnaud Massartic was actually legit, he sent me numerous contracts, bank commitment letters and other documents I now believe to be forged and fraudulent. All of this was an attempt by Arnaud to get me to access debt financing from US hedge funds with which I have strong business relationships.

Arnaud Massartic claimed to be a "business partner" with Hollywood legend Skip Paul. This is absolutely false. I wrote an email to Skip Paul and he admitted knowing Arnaud as an "acquaintance" but said they had no business together.

Please chime in here. I know Arnaud Massartic is a world-class con man, and has been scamming people for years.

Thanks for reading!

I hope you have taken everything you have to the FBI.

After that is done, any documents, emails, details of the scam would be very useful to load to the page. Surely you are not the only person he is dealing with.

Thanks, Ribshaw. I actually did file a report on Arnaud Massartic on the FBI's website. Do they actually look at that stuff? Is this kind of stuff actually a federal crime? I also called the local police in West Hollywood, but they didn't seem that interested. Should I post all of the fraudulent bank documents and contracts on this site? Does anyone have a good contact at the FBI office in Los Angeles? Someone has to put Arnaud Massartic out of business for good.

Off the top of my head it would depend on what if any crime(s) was/are being committed and how to determine if Federal laws were violated. As for ANY law enforcement taking action, as is often said "its not TV". There are a long line of crooks and a short line of resources, so any money you may have lost is likely gone.

LRM has provided IC3, if the mail was used I would consider this as well. https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/ SQUEAKY WHEEL and all that.

The next thing that jumps right out at me is are you really dealing with Arnaud Massartic? I have not looked very deep at this, but what you are describing is likely someone who stole images, a story, and made up details to perpetrate a con. Anything is always possible, but I would operate on the assumption that you are dealing with a Mr./Mrs. X or X(s) unless you have proof to the contrary. Seeing as you have a detractor that showed up, my suspicions are peaked.

That is what the site is for. There are only so many ways you can run a con, and someone somewhere will read the documents, see the story and realize what is happening to them. Hell just meeting someone on Linkedin who suddenly wants to do business is a start.

That is fact. Crime is the biggest growth industry on the planet and crime prevention the second largest. New con artists have to deal with some pretty savvy scam busters!

Be aware of RPAX being an unlicensed adviser trying to shake down and blackmail Arnaud Massartic and Partners.
Purely and simply.We can post his real name,a picture of his unlicensed notice,his address and all his records.

Hiya, RPax and welcome to REALSCAM.com

Be sure to register your complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) which can be done online HERE

Normally I shouldn't post anything here but truth to be told we are following RPAX with attention as he introduced himself to Mr Arnaud Massartic and his partners as a managing director at Ernst and Young while technically he was already terminated.
To be quite clear,he is in serious trouble right now as he is finding himself in a very sad situation.
He was an unlicensed financial adviser who has been going insane and calling every partner of Arnaud Massartic for no reason.The best part is that he didn't realize that all this time,they knew he was unlicensed and committing a felony as he tried to have them investing 5M$ in a bogus company that he represents and also tried to get 2m$ as a fee on a loan to finance the purchase of properties like it was written on the non bidding letter of intent . The best part is that he did not realize that a non binding letter of intent stating that it is not a contract and with no date on it means it is not a contract and nothing else.Now this is the second best part,he is in it for a rough awakening in the following days.Watch for a humongous lawsuit for blackmail,breach of non disclosure agreement,misrepresentation and abuse.How do we know?because this has been the most ridiculous case we have ever seen in a long time.

So surely you'll be taking him to court and posting real court documents here to back that up right? I mean.......he's committing a felony after all.

Welcome to the thread to you as well. Off the top of my head, can there really be two BEST PARTS? Were busting scams, not selling Ninja blenders. Until the judge takes my ankle monitor off I'm not going anywhere, and will love to hear your side. This is shaping up to be the most exciting thread on RealScam since Dancing Donald got outed as a fraud.

If things are a matter of public record then by all means it is important for us to understand who's zoomin who.

Maybe it's a "shakedown" cruise?

Do you realize that by coming here you both are opening yourself to all your dirty laundry being unraveled ?

Ok off to the couch for a day of debauchery via nachos.

Arnaud Massartic is listed a few places as a European Billionaire most notably in the sale of his Maybach to rapper Birdman. Whether he has a place in LA I have no idea, do Billionaires contact people on LinkedIn and do business with them sight unseen? Without a bevy of attorneys and accountants, color me skeptical. On the OTHER side, I have a very hard time believing the representative of a Billionaire would happen to grace us with their presence, especially if there was litigation pending.

Will be interested to see what if anything comes of this.

Forbes does not list Arnaud Massartic as a billionaire:

The World's Billionaires List - Forbes

Reporting to the FBI is exactly the right thing to do. The IC3 link to the FBI will appropriately direct complaints to the right enforcement agencies. That is the only route to getting law enforcement involved. Posters here who have worked with law enforcement, including the FBI, only get in contact with the authorities at their request.

The original poster was properly licensed as a financial professional through January of this year. Lots of digging to follow. This should be quite a juicy thread to be sure!

Apparently that turned out to be the "NON sale of his Maybach to the rapper Birdman" so the mysterious Mr Massartic remains mysterious, which is mysterious in itself, considering he is purportedly a "European billionaire"

This is interesting, apparently Birdman has in the past claimed he was buying the Miami Dolphins and owned and Oil Company. What happened to Birdman 5 million dollars bet ? - Page 2 « Kanye West Forum
But you are right Massartic remains a bit of a mystery too, the only reference I can find about him is the car and a representative saying that he had not been paid. It is almost like the whole thing was concocted.

Speaking of, I know Kid Rock set up shop at the top of Four Seasons, it appears Massaric II set up shop at the Hyatt.

What I had initially thought was this guy was a real businessman and someone had stolen his name. BUT the corporation predates the Maybach story, the businesses listed on his LinkedIN seem to be shells, leaving me to wonder if he is real at all?


This is a street view of the shop on Melrose which from the outside seems pretty real. Would be a pretty slick trick otherwise.

Bizarre, I do hope the aggrieved parties can clear a few things up. Why have a seemingly real business, but a partner that on the surface appears fictional?

(From left: a tee shirt look from Rockstars & Angels; the exterior)

It didn’t take long for the former Ana.M Designs store at 7729 Melrose Avenue to be leased out. In fact, the silver, futuristic mannequins are still in the window. Signage is now up for Rockstars & Angels, an Australian label due to make its debut soon. Their current website is not working but I did find a couple of their items online. We’re looking at tees, tanks, and rainbow totes. We shall see. (Bravada sportwear opens on Melrose, after the jump.)

(If you hit the gym, Bravada might help. Image via Melrose Village)

Women’s sportswear line Bravada opened their second retail shop at 7224 Melrose Avenue. (The other store is located at 322 South Robertson Boulevard.) You’ll be able to stock up on all types of active wear including yoga pants, performance leggings, and sports bras.

The evidence that you will receive are as Follow:

Regarding RPAX claims:

Evidence that RPAX never had a fraudulent contract in his hands but a totally legit NON BIDDING LOI stating that they were talking about a purchase.
Evidence that RPAX had an engagement letter and he definitely knew that it was a purchase.
Evidence that RPAX lost his license and try to cover his tracks.


Regarding Massartic's profile

-Evidence that Massartic has a collection of luxury cars and real estate in US as well as in Europe.

First, this landed in my mailbox, so I own it.

I have not and will not sign a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement.

Court documents are public record. I found the case and used my PACER account to purchase said docs. I certainly don't need to kowtow to your demands to access public documents.

If Arnaud Massartic and friends have information for us they are welcome to come back and post it here.

Since Massartic chose to file suit and in it demand that posts on here be removed I will be posting all the court docs and discussing them here at my leisure.

As it is in court I have no interest in answering these people privately. Massartic should understand that court cases are public and so all this shall indeed be public. That was nice of them to e-mail and clue me in to the fact the court case had been filed. That was an easy one to find.

The court docs will give us much more to investigate. Time top get busy!

I would also like to see some evidence that/if Defendant (Rpax) at any point during talks with Arnaud
represented himself as dealing on behalf of Ernst and Young or acted in any capacity as an investment advisor registered with a firm.

Defendant passed US SEC series 7 examination (so his expertise is somehow valuable) and he is currently as of January is not registered with any investment firm.
At which point of dealings with Arnaud they see his act as fraudulent ?

I find it odd his alleged linkedin has 0 connections.

Having trouble locating a company or anything named NAFTA Petroleum.

Oh, Boy! This could be fun! To quote a song from Don Henley, Eagles,
"I make my living off the Evening News
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry".
Now if both side will touch gloves and come out swinging, metaphorically speaking...!
