Supercars To Super Scammers, Dubai Has Everything To Offer

Supercars, mega-yachts, and the luxurious lifestyle of Downtown, Dubai has everything to offer. This attracted many wealthy individuals to Dubai. Streets full of fashionistas, exclusive luxury brand showrooms, and fine dining restaurants are always glamoured with tall, beautiful, and mesmerizing models wearing Gucci, Armani, Louis Vuitton, and Michael Kors high heels, wrist watches, and backless red and black dresses. Of course, Dubai is a luxury at its peak that attracts millions of visitors, business people, and wealthy individuals around the globe. This is what creates a haven for scammers and fraudsters who hide in these flashy night parties where wealthy individuals and businessmen come to devour some good time of their day.

Crypto and FOREX scammers, gangsters, fraudsters, and sometimes terrorists find a peaceful resort in these alluring streets of Dubai Downtown.

Two very clever and notorious individuals of the Adler family; Kerry Adler and Josh Adler land in Dubai with some ulterior motives of scamming businesses and investors in the Emirates. The same enticed Kerry and his son Josh.

Who is Kerry Adler?

According to Adler family shady company SkyPower Global, Since 2003, Kerry has served as SkyPower’s global President and Chief Executive Officer. As a visionary leader, Kerry Adler has been instrumental in building SkyPower into a major force in renewable energy, making it one of the most advanced and influential companies in the field.

We never found any evidence to support their claim of being an influential energy-producing firm in the world. As they claim they generate millions of megawatts of electricity but where it’s a mystery.

Who is Josh Adler?

“Josh Adler is a Visionary and leading business architect. Helped over 300 startups launch in 3 years, Founder of ConvrtX”, self-proclaimed on the matchmaker.fm website, a podcast company. It further says that Josh is the founder and CEO of ConvrtX, a venture ecosystem that is now one of the largest and most innovative startup ecosystems in the world. 

Isn’t it impressive?

Both Adlers; Kerry Adler and Josh Adler (who is a son of Kerry Adler) claim to be billionaires in their introduction which was published in the “19th Anniversary Ritossa Family Office Investment Summit“. This summit was organized by the Ritossa Family, headed by Sir Anthony Ritossa.

Who is Sir Anthony Ritossa?

Sir Anthony Ritossa, the head of the Ritossa Family, according to a Vanity Fair magazine article titled ‘Inside Wealth-Conference Con Man Anthony Ritossa’s Wild Web of Lies’ is “a self-styled knight and purported Nobel Prize nominee is actually a Wall Street washout, a deadbeat dad, and a con artist, repeatedly jailed by European authorities.”

The Role of Media and Press

Willingly or unwillingly media outlets publish unwetted stories of individuals with a history of scams, frauds, scandals, and whatnot. If media outlets do due diligence before publishing any content in their respective newspapers or news websites; the public can be saved from the venomous effects of these individuals. And then many scams and frauds can be prevented as well.

The Weekly Blitz newspaper came forward and exposed the shady business of SkyPower Global as well as the truth behind the billionaire story of Kerry Adler and Josh Adler. Blitz wrote, “We have reasons to believe, Joshua Adler alias Josh Adler is another grand scammer as Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the fraudulent crypto venture FTX. While Sam Bankman-Fried has cheated hundreds of thousands of innocent people through his fraudulent FTX and Alameda Research, most possibly Joshua Adler alias Josh Adler is cheating innocent investors from around the world as well as the Gulf countries through false claims. Authorities in the United Arab Emirates need to initiate an immediate investigation into the suspicious activities of Joshua Adler alias Josh Adler.”

On January 29, 2023, following the publication of an investigative report in the Weekly Blitz newspaper exposing Joshua Adler, alias Josh Adler, son of a notorious fraudster and terrorist Kerry Adler, the New York Weekly retracted their June 15, 2022 article titled “Josh Adler is a disruptive force in the realm of tech startups “. This came after the two Adler family members were found to have arrived in Dubai with plans to scam innocent businessmen and investors in the Emirates.

It has also been widely noticed that many dubious PR agencies find good business in promoting these scammers in the local media. Talking to a representative of a PR agency in Dubai: “This is a matter of great surprise that a globally known swindler Anthony Ritossa has also landed in the UAE and he has collected hundreds of thousands of Dirham by organizing a fraudulent event, where he charged AED 5,000 as entry fees and there were more than 300 people who bought tickets to attend that program. Anyone searching the internet would find full details about Anthony’s past record of fraud.”

He further said, “We are also a PR agency but we never take any suspicious or dubious individual as our client.”

Meanwhile, according to a tweet by Anthony Fenton, Kerry Adler, who has been exposed as engaging in terrorist activities has a financial relationship with Anthony Ritossa, while Adler is holding an important position in the Canada Arab Business Council and Canada-UAE Business Council.

It is a matter of great astonishment to know that a dangerous individual like Kerry Adler is holding important posts in two of the business councils in the UAE, which would create an opportunity for him to target and cheat Arabs.

It was reported in the EU Reporter that Kerry Adler has connections with a transnational drug trafficking racket operated by the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah, Afghan drug lords, and Ukrainian mafias.

Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, World's Richest Woman, Loses $13 Billion in 2024.     Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, the world’s wealthiest woman and heiress to the L’Oréal fortune, has faced a significant financial setback in 2024, losing $13.1 billion of her net worth over the first seven months of the year.   This decline, which brings her fortune down to $86 billion from nearly $100 billion at the start of the year, reflects broader challenges within the luxury beauty and fashion sectors. The Bloomberg Billionaire Index reports that Bettencourt Meyers’ wealth reduction mirrors the difficulties faced by other luxury industry titans, such as Bernard Arnault, the head of Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH).   Read Also : EFCC Detains NAHCON Chairman, Secretary Over N90 Billion Hajj Subsidy Scam   The downturn in Bettencourt Meyers' fortune is closely tied to her substantial stake in L’Oréal, the global cosmetics giant, which has been adversely impacted by a slowdown in the Chinese market. As a result, L’Oréal shares have fallen by 14.25% year-to-date, stoking investor concerns over the company’s growth prospects in key markets.   L’Oréal’s Response to Market Challenges In response to the challenges facing the luxury market, L’Oréal has been actively working to diversify its portfolio. One significant move is the planned acquisition of a 10% stake in the Swiss skincare company Galderma, valued at $1.85 billion. This strategic investment, which involves purchasing shares from Sunshine SwissCo AG—a consortium that includes Swedish private equity firm EQT, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and Auba Investment Pte. Ltd.—is part of L’Oréal’s broader effort to strengthen its position in the global skincare market and reduce its reliance on more volatile luxury segments. Additionally, L’Oréal has continued to invest in its workforce through the expansion of its Employee Share Ownership Plan, launched in 2018. This plan, now available in 63 countries, allows employees to purchase L’Oréal shares at a 20% discount. Over 37,000 employees have participated in the initiative, which aims to align their interests with the company’s long-term growth and values. Nicolas Hieronimus, Chief Executive Officer of L’Oréal Groupe, emphasized that this plan reflects the company’s commitment to fostering a sense of shared ownership and responsibility among its employees. About Francoise Bettencourt Meyers Françoise Bettencourt Meyers controls approximately one-third of L’Oréal, the world’s largest cosmetics company. She became chairwoman of the holding company that manages the family’s stake following the death of her mother, Liliane Bettencourt, in 2017. Under her leadership, L’Oréal has continued to thrive, generating €41.2 billion ($44.5 billion) in revenue in 2023. The Bettencourt family has received more than €10 billion ($11.2 billion) in dividends from L’Oréal over the years, according to analyses of company filings and market data. Beyond her business acumen, Bettencourt Meyers is deeply involved in philanthropy. She oversees her family’s charitable foundation, which is dedicated to advancing French sciences and arts. Notably, following the 2019 Notre Dame Cathedral fire, the Bettencourt Meyers family, along with L’Oréal, donated $226 million towards the restoration efforts.   This philanthropic commitment highlights Bettencourt Meyers’ influence not only in the business world but also in cultural and social spheres.   As L’Oréal navigates the complexities of the current market environment, Bettencourt Meyers remains a central figure in the luxury industry, with her wealth and influence continuing to shape the future of the sector.

Gemma Martina, from Dundee city in the United Kingdom, wrote on her Facebook wall,

“WHAT THE HELL HAVE I GOT MYSELF INTO 🤣. I don’t even know where to start. I posted last year about a company who refused to deliver me my website and app, commissioned for my business, that I had paid £28k for. Their name is CONVRTX by the way. I didn’t name them last time. We came to an agreement after my last post, after me paying over £1k for a solicitor, that I would give them a chance to deliver the products and remove my negative reviews for the time being. One site wouldn’t allow me to remove the review, but the agreement was I’d give a fair update on the quality of the products once in a finished state. Now: 6 months later, the products are a shit show 😂 I literally won’t use them. I was going to let them fix them, until their CEO had the audacity to ask me to amend my review to 5 stars. Tried to say I’d agreed to once I got my products, absolute load of shit. Daniel and I have been keeping an eye on their review pages over the last 6 months. So many fake positive reviews, copy and pasted, removed, and reposted under different names. It’s an absolute farce. Now to today; I reposted my negative reviews this week. The company relentlessly reports and hides them. Not just me; with every negative review. Bark says they are investigating the matter, but the negative reviews remain hidden. There are a number of negative reviews they’ve managed to hide. There is suspicion that they are a Ponzi Scheme. We came across a newspaper who are doing investigative journalism on them, and have found out that both the CEO, Josh Adler, and his dad, CEO of SkyPower and a member of the World Economic Forum, Kerry Adler, are high flying fraudsters. Things are insane. Kerry Adler deleted his twitter after being accused of cyber attacking the newspaper who ran a story on him 👀 ���� What’s even crazier; I’m now in touch with a number of clients of CONVRTX who have had the same experience as me. Some I’ve tracked down myself. Others have sought me out after being tipped off from a ConvrtX staff member that I’m rounding up disgruntled clients. Clearly someone in that company has a shred of morals. These people have taken 28k of my money. One client I’m speaking to gave them 100k for projects they apparently cannot complete. There are international journalists looking into them. I’ve accepted that I’ve lost my money, but hopefully in rounding up all of these clients they’ve scammed I can be a part of bringing them to justice. I’ve screenshotted some of the now hidden negative reviews. I’ve also screenshotted a small number of the obvious fake reviews. I remember when their legal counsel sending me inappropriate emails which were what I deem to be sexually harassing was the most insane part of my story. God knows where this is going, but it’s getting more insane by the day. If I suspiciously wind up dead one day under odd circumstances, it’s probably because I’ve help exposed a huge fraud ring 🤣🤣🤣 All jokes aside… If you know anyone looking for software development, avoid CONVRTX like the bloody plague. “

Woman in GoFundMe Scam Gets 3 Years in New Jersey Prison

An individual was sentenced Friday, to serve three years in a New Jersey state prison for her role in a scheme that raked in more than $400,000 through an erroneous GoFundMe campaign to help homeless people, the prosecutor claimed. She, Katelyn McClure (32) from Burlington Township, N.J. as well as her then boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, created an appeal for funds on GoFundMe on November 17, 2017 to support Johnny Bobbitt, saying he was homeless in Philadelphia according to the prosecutor. The couple stated that on GoFundMe they had found out that they had a relationship with Mr. Bobbitt gave Ms. McClure his final $20 to aid her out when she ran empty of gasoline, as per prosecutor's reports, who claimed that the claim was false. Mrs. McClure and Mr. D'Amico stated that they were looking for $10,000 in order that that Mr. Bobbitt could have funds to buy the purchase of a house, car and the cost of living for six months. Their case attracted the attention of many and they raised over the sum of $402,000. Instead of donating all the money in cash to the charity of Mr. Bobbitt, Ms. McClure and Mr. D'Amico spent the bulk of the funds on an BMW as well as gambling Louis Vuitton bags and trips in Las Vegas and a helicopter flight across the Grand Canyon, prosecutors said. In the year 2018 in 2018, Mr. Bobbitt filed a lawsuit against the defendants, Ms. McClure and Mr. D'Amico, claiming that he received only $75,000. After a while, the plan was dissolved and the three defendants were charged in the matter. The woman. McClure, who pleaded guilty, is currently serving an federal sentence of 366 days within the context of the trial. A state-wide sentence is expected to be concurrent with the federal sentence as said the Burlington County prosecutor's office said in a statement issued on Friday. For the duration of her sentence in the state as part of her state sentence, Ms. McClure, who used to be employed by the New Jersey Department of Transportation was barred for life from being employed as a government employee. LaChia. Bradshaw LaChia L. Bradshaw, the Burlington County prosecutor, said in her announcement that over 14,000 individuals were deceived by the scam, and the fact that "decency and compassion for others elicited a tremendously heartwarming response to assist someone they believed was truly in need." "Our wish," she said, "is that prosecutions like this will serve to deter criminals from such deceitful actions, but not discourage individuals from caring about those who are in crisis as a result of a tragedy, or simply need a helping hand after experiencing a hardship or setback." GoFundMe has not responded to inquiries for comment on Sunday or the lawyer representing Mrs. McClure. He. D'Amico also pleaded guilty and is currently serving an U.S. federal prison sentence for 27 months. He also was sentenced to 5 years of New Jersey state prison. The sentences are concurrently running. Then Mr. Bobbitt pleaded guilty the month of March to a second degree count of conspiring to steal through deceit. The authorities claimed that he posted the same account to his account on the Facebook site in 2012 declaring that he had renounced the money he earned from his dinner to assist an elderly woman. In October the month of October, Mr. Bobbitt was given a federal sentence that included 3 years probation. He received a fine of $25,000. Restitution. As part of the state's sentence the judge ordered the. Bobbitt was admitted into the program which provides treatment for addicts instead of being sent to jail according to the investigators. In the event that Mr. Bobbitt fails to follow the strict guidelines of rehabilitation and treatment services the program, he could be facing the possibility of five years at New Jersey state prison, the prosecutors stated.

ATTENTION!

Looks like the Ray Ban thing is going around again, only this time it's Louis Vuitton.

I spotted this post on my dashboard and I have no doubt it's a hack similar to the ray-bans one. Do not click that link, it's almost certainly not a discount link; Don't risk your account!

@immerso-sims has been hacked: if you can read this post, you should to change your account password!

Looks like the Ray-Bans situation is repeating itself, so let this be your reminder to not click suspicious looking links and to turn on 2 factor authentication if you're able to.

UH OH

someone on my dash got LOUIS'D

Looks like the Ray Ban thing is going about again, only this time it's Louis Vuitton.

So let this be your reminder not to click suspicious looking links and to turn on 2 factor authentication if you're able to.

[verifiedaccount]

It seems very hard to believe that anyone would be tricked into sending money for a Louis Vuitton bag to a scammer on the internet because a familiar account name that’s never before posted about Louis Vuitton would somehow make them overlook the obviously scammy offer post, but someone must be falling for it or scammers would presumably not keep hacking accounts like mine. Someone needs to write the great long read article on the scams’ success rates and the people who fall for them so I can read it, or to let me know where that article already exists if it does.

[vergeangst]

Hey y'all there's a new scam going around.

It's pretty much the same thing as the Ray Bans scam except now it's using Louis Vuitton discounts. If you see any posts about that with a bunch of people tagged and little to no notes make sure to message the blog owner, and if it happens to you make sure to delete all of the scam posts and change your account password and any passwords attached to the email you use to log in!

Okay so I'm not seeing much around about this, but. The post is a scam link about a Louis Vuitton bag or whatever. I checked my queue, it was queued to post 4 more times. It had already posted twice today. I checked where I was logged in, there was a device in Russia that had been logged in already for three days. I had also had an issue with my email being compromised this week, so I'm wondering if it was related.

Anyhow, check your recent posts and queue if at all possible, and change your password to be safe if there's anything out of the ordinary.

Hey yeah if you clicked on the link that got posted on my account, check ur recent posts and change ur password. Dunno how my account got hacked considering I never opened or received any odd messages, so just be aware!
