Complaint Review: Shaike Mohamad Fairway Consultants LLC - Astoria New York

My complaints are similar to the other complaints about Imran Shaikh who goes by many aliases. His aliases & company names change but the scam is still the same. He promises to add business tradelines to your D&B report so your biz can qualify for funding & then to get you business lines of credit & installment loans from his various contacts & relationmships with banks & lending institutions. He charges $3500 for business tradelinses then sends you a fake cookie cutter D & B report 7-10 days later showing tradelines he supposedly added, which never show up on your real D & B report!!! He is a very smooth con artist & actually knows a lot about the banking industry, tradelines & financing.. but he is total piece of crap scamer!! 

I am a financial consulatant who helps real estate investors get financing & i found Shaike Mohamad of Fairway consulting (1 of his many aliases) on craigslist (my 1st big mistake).  Callled the number on his add & he sounded legit. A few weeks later i refered 1 of my real estate clients who was looking for funding to purchase a building & to purchase trucks for his trucking business. I will call him Tom  to protect his idenity. I was totally upfront with Tom & told him i just came across Mohamad so i never closed a deal with him so i cant be 100%  sure that hes legit but i said he sounds pretty legit so im like 97%-98% hes prob legit (my 2nd mistake)

Had a confernece call with Tom & Mohamad & Tom decided to go forward with his real easte company &  Mohmad sent a loan application & fee agreement. Then Tom sent a Zelle  payment of $1750 to Mohmad for 50% down on the tradelines. Tom also had mentioned his trucking company to Mohomad &  Mohamad had said a client can do up to 3 companies at 1 time but all had to be done at the same time. So Tom Zelled him $1750 for 50% down on tradelines for that company (my 3rd mistake.. letting Tom pay for a 2nd company).

7-10 days later Mohamad send the D & B reprort for Toms 1st company & then said he would start applying for funding for Toms 1st company. Then he kept asking me to make sure Tom pays the 2nd $1750 which Tom did. Then 4-5 days later Mohamad send the D&B Report for Toms 2nd company & Mohmad said he started applying for funding for that company as well. A few days later Tom zelled the 2nd $1750 for his 2nd company.

During this process Mohomad was communicating with me regularly & we had a few more conference calls with Tom aboutn updates on how the funding process was going. about a week or so later Mohamad texted me a list of 5 "apporvals" he had for Toms 1st company. He listed the bank name & loan amount & wether it was an installment loan or a line of credit. Then a few days later he send me a revised list of "approvals " for both of Toms companies. The bank & loan amounts were the same for both companies. 

 During this process i also mentioned this funding program to a married couple who are real estate investors who were looking for business funding to invest into more properites. Will call them Dan & Jane. I told them what i told Tom about just finding Mohomad & i told them about Tom & that Mohomad did send me D& B reports with tradelines for both of Toms compaines.

 Mohmad & i had conferences calls with Jane & Dan. Dan also has has another business & Mohomad said he is knowledgble about that business & they had a seperate call about Mohomad possibly brining Dan some clients. Dan said Mohmad sounded very knowledgeble & legit & he said they could use funding asap so they decided to move forward before Toms funding was complete. Mohomad sent him the funding paper work & Jane Zelled him $1750  (my 4th mistake.. letting them send Mohomad money with out seeing what happend to Toms fundng). then 7-10 days later after she got her D&B report from him she zelled him the 2nd $1750.

On a friday evening after 3-4 weeks from Tom getting his D & B reports Mohomad send me a promisory note for a $42k intallment loan for each of Toms companies & told him to sign it & get it notorized then overnight it to them for Monday delivery & then they will wire his money. The adddress he gave for the bank was a legitmate addfress & on Monday Tom cecked online & saw the package was received by the bank.

Of course there was no wire sent by the bank monday..  Mohmad said they told him wire will go out Tueeday. Tom never got the wire either. Wednesday Mohamad said the bank will cancel the wire & just over night the checks for both companies. Of course Tom the next day Tom never got those checks. Couldnt get a hold of Mohamad all day. Then after 1 texted him Friday morning he finally got back to me with a lie saying his dad was in ICU at the hospital. Then later that evening he said the checks were mailed out Friday

Monday they never arrived nor did they arrive any of the following days. Mohomad was rarely returning calls or texts & still using the excuse his Dad was in ICU. So  Tom called them himself. Of course the bank said they never heard of Tom or his 2 companies. Tom emailed them a copy of the promisory notes that they supposedly sent him. The bank said they were fake because they always have a loan # on their promisory notes & these 2 notes didnt have any loan # & they always put the notes on theur company letterhead. 

 I then told Dan & Jane about whats going on with Tom. Dan then went online to D & B s website & paid for a copy of his real D & B report & lord & behold the tradelines Mohomad suppodedly added were not on Dans real report. Tom called D & B & the tradelines Mohamad put on his 2 companies also didnt show up!! 

We were all pissed & then i remembered that when my clients zelled Mohamad his money & sent me the payment confirmation receipts from Zell. I remembered that the recievers name was Imran Shaikh & the phone # on his zelle account which was different then the name i know Mr Mohmad by & the number was different then the 1 i call him on.   

So i did a google search on Imran Shaikh & i say the complaints about him on here. I confronted Mohamad about this & even sent him the complaints.  At 1st he denied he was the same person in the complaints. Then when he knew the gig was up he got nasty.  My clients asked for their money back but of course he never gave it back to them. He wouldnt answer my calls so i kept calling him from fake numbers to tie up his phonelines. & left him many nasty voicemails on all 3 of his numbers that i know..  We also exchenaged some nasty texts.  I plan to keep doing this until he either gets arrested or sends my clients their money back.

  Now i know what i couldnt find anything about Shaike Mohamad or Fairway consultants or the # that i called him on (347 234-7901)..Because he prob just started using that name, company name & # fairly recently so there was no complaints yet. Thats what scammers do. After they rip off enough people they change their name, compnay name & phione # & do the same scam again & then keep repeating the process.

I feel sick to my stomach about my clients losing their money (Tom $7K & Dan & Jane $3500) & even thoughi was upfront & revealed the fact that im just met him & cant 100% vouch that hes legit & they both talked to Mr Mohamad& felt comfortable & i never cohorsed or forced them to send him money, i was the 1 who introduced them to this scum bag so i do take my share of responibility for this very seriously. 

So i am asking any of you who  also have been ripped off by this scum bag under any of his aliases to please contact me  so we can work together to put this a*****e behind bars where he belongs. Their is strength in numbers & the more of us that work together to get this scum bag the better chance we will have of making him pay for his crimes!!
