Fraudster Suryawanshi cheated people from different cities, promising gold at cheap rate, he collected lakhs of rupees from gullible victims

Mukesh Suryawanshi, the fraudster who duped several persons at various cities in the state by luring them with cheap gold, is currently behind the bars. Suryawanshi impressed people by his posh lifestyle and duped them of lakhs of rupees.

A 28-year-old woman from Baner, Pune, entrusted Rs 42.80 lakh to Mukesh Suryawanshi in January 2018. However, he only returned Rs 17.59 lakh to her, and after July 2018, stopped repaying. Fleeing to Dubai, he returned to Goa on March 6 of this year, where he was arrested upon arrival at the airport. He was later transferred to the Mumbai police for further investigation. A farmer from Dhule also fell victim to his deception. Suryawanshi convinced the farmer to invest in gold with the promise of doubling the returns. The farmer, trusting Suryawanshi and his family's lavish lifestyle, believed in the offer, especially as the initial repayments were assured. However, as time passed, Suryawanshi ceased payments, and he is said to have duped over 60 farmers from Dhule, Nashik, Jalgaon, and other districts in a similar manner. Suryawanshi also victimized two women from Thane. He promised one woman gold at a discounted price and told the other he would sell her gold at a higher price than market value. Both women were left devastated. Furthermore, he defrauded several married women under the pretense of marriage, promising to accept their children as well. He met these women on Facebook, gaining their trust before taking large sums of money. It was an alert investor, Satyanand Gaitonde, who tipped off the authorities. Suryawanshi duped him and his family out of about Rs 60-70 lakh. Gaitonde, who was based in Dahisar, Mumbai, met Suryawanshi in 2013 on a film set, and was later contacted on Facebook and WhatsApp. He put his trust in Suryawanshi, who persuaded him to invest in a gold business he claimed to have set up. Between 2018 and 2019, Gaitonde invested Rs 15.62 lakh, with his family members contributing as well. Upon realizing he had been scammed, Gaitonde unsuccessfully tried contacting Suryawanshi and eventually filed a police report. Gaitonde is calling for strict legal action against Suryawanshi and encourages other victims to come forward so that such frauds don't continue. for 10 seconds

A 28-year-old woman from Baner, Pune, handed over Rs 42.80 lakh to the fraudster in January 2018. However, he returned only Rs 17.59 lakh, and after July 2018, he stopped making any repayments. He later fled to Dubai and, after spending three years there, arrived in Goa on March 6 this year. Upon arrival at Goa Airport, the police arrested him and subsequently transferred him to the Mumbai police for further investigation.

A farmer from Dhule also fell prey to his deceit. The suspect duped the farmer of five tolas of gold by promising double profits on the investment. The farmer explained that Mukesh and his family had a high-profile image and lived an extravagant lifestyle, which easily won over the trust of many. Initially, the fraudster made assured repayments for three months, but then the payments ceased. In total, Suryawanshi is said to have duped around 60 farmers from Dhule, Nashik, Jalgaon, and other districts.

In addition, Suryawanshi cheated two women from Thane district. He told one woman that he could procure gold for them at a price lower than the market value. Similarly, in 2013, he convinced another woman that he would help her sell her gold at a price higher than the market rate. Both women ended up being left high and dry. Moreover, the conman also deceived several married women by falsely promising marriage and accepting them along with their children. He extracted lakhs of rupees from these women by targeting them on Facebook, particularly those from Pune and Ahmedabad.

Suryawanshi was eventually apprehended due to an alert complainant, Satyanand Gaitonde, who works as an agent with the National Security Service Canada. According to Gaitonde, Suryawanshi duped him and his family members of approximately Rs 60 lakh to Rs 70 lakh. Gaitonde, who owns a flat in the Dahisar area of Mumbai and visits the city occasionally, first met Suryawanshi in 2013 on a film set. Later, Suryawanshi contacted him through Facebook and WhatsApp, gained his confidence, and persuaded him to invest in gold by claiming he had started a company. During 2018-19, Gaitonde invested Rs 15.62 lakh, and his family also contributed. When Gaitonde realized that he had been duped, he tried to reach out to Suryawanshi, but received no response. Consequently, he lodged a complaint with the police. Gaitonde now calls for strict action against the fraudster and urges others to come forward with their complaints so that another conman like Suryawanshi does not emerge.

Investing in Deception: How Friendship, Love, and Ambition Fueled a $150,000 Scam

This is a story I find deeply triggering, one that I’ve struggled to tell. But in reliving it, there are lessons to be learned about the perils of misplaced trust and the high cost of blind loyalty. It’s a story of deception, ambition, and heartbreak — a cautionary tale about the dark side of supporting friends in their entrepreneurial dreams. For the sake of privacy, names have been changed to protect the innocent.

It was the spring of 2019 when my long-time friend, *Lauryn, came to me with a business opportunity. Lauryn and I had been close for over 15 years, our bond forged in the trenches of grad school and solidified by shared life experiences. When she pitched her idea to me, I didn’t hesitate to listen. She was more than a friend — she was my sister, and I was eager to see her succeed.

Lauryn had been through a lot. Two years earlier, she lost her husband, becoming a single mother to two young children at just 39. As a widow, she faced challenges that would have broken many, but Lauryn was resilient. She was rebuilding her life, and I was invested in her success. That’s why, when she approached me about reviving her wellness business, I was all in.

Lauryn was no novice in the health and wellness industry. She had owned a natural body care line, taught fitness classes, and dreamed of opening her own wellness center. She was knowledgeable, passionate, and ready to take her business to the next level. So, when she met Zacharia Ali — a financier, businessman, and investor — at our local LA Fitness, she believed it was a divine connection.

All Smoke and Mirrors

Zac was everything Lauryn needed at that moment — a businessman with a wealth of experience, or so it seemed. He offered her intimacy, mentorship, and guidance. Lauryn fell for him, both as a romantic partner and mentor. Zac carried himself with an air of authority, his words laced with the promise of success and prosperity. He spoke of his business accolades and widespread connections. He informed her that he was divorced, had sadly lost a child in a car accident, and had moved to the area for a fresh start. He was a practicing Muslim from a prominent family in Philadelphia. He was well-connected and had successfully launched many companies, and now he wanted to do the same for Lauryn.

The First Red Flag: Trust, but Verify

When Lauryn introduced me to Zac, I was initially impressed. He spoke with authority about entrepreneurship, investing, and the importance of ownership in the Black community. He even attended my birthday party, where we discussed his ventures in South America, the Middle East, and the African diaspora. Over time, Zac and I exchanged messages about business opportunities, and he seemed genuinely invested in our shared goals.

Zac became more than just Lauryn’s romantic partner and mentor; he became a central figure in our budding business venture. He offered to use his extensive network to help Lauryn relaunch her brand, promising to turn it into an international success. The plan was ambitious but enticing: we would create a line of CBD-infused skincare products, tapping into the booming wellness market. I was hesitant but hopeful. Lauryn’s trust in him reassured me. In hindsight, I should have let Lauryn and Zac work together without getting involved.

Despite my initial reservations, I convinced myself that Zac’s impressive background and Lauryn’s enthusiasm were enough to move forward. I researched Zac’s company, Zar Capital, and found nothing alarming — just websites and social media endorsements that aligned with his stories. But I ignored the small voice inside that urged caution.

The Second Red Flag: If It Sounds Too Good to Be True, It Probably Is

Despite my initial excitement, a nagging voice in the back of my mind urged caution. I researched Zac and his company, Zar Capital. His online presence seemed legitimate — impressive even. His website detailed his supposed business ventures in South America, the Middle East, and across the African diaspora. But beyond the polished surface, something felt off.

Still, Lauryn was convinced. Zac had become her rock, helping her navigate the complexities of business and life after loss. She believed in him, and because I believed in her, I put my doubts aside. Under Zac’s guidance, we formed a business partnership: Lauryn would hold 50% of the company, Zac 30%, and I would take a 20% stake. It seemed like a fair arrangement, and over the next few months, Lauryn and I made substantial investments via wire transfer, totaling $110,000. We were instructed to send the money to a Navy Federal account for GC Worldwide under the umbrella of Zac’s businesses, CBD Switch Holding Corp and Zar Capital.

Another Red Flag: All New Opportunities Are Not Good Opportunities — The Moringa Mirage

As if the CBD venture wasn’t enough, Zac presented me with another investment opportunity: a business centered around the Moringa plant in Ethiopia. He pitched it as low-risk, with the potential for high returns and the added appeal of supporting Black businesses in Africa. He presented me with diagrams, mocks, financials, a business plan, and extensive research. I invested $40,000, and we formed a company called the Moringa Cartel. Through documented email presentations, Zac promised to establish operations in Ghana, help with the business plan, and set up the website. I was excited about the prospects, but the excitement was short-lived.

Trust Your Gut

Once the money was sent and the paperwork signed, unease set in. I noticed discrepancies, like the fact that our business was registered in Nevada, even though we were all based in the Mid-Atlantic region. I decided to dig deeper, using the state of Nevada’s business portal, Silver Flume. What I found left me reeling: only the company formed between Lauryn, Zac, and me existed as a domestic corporation. My name wasn’t listed anywhere, and neither was Zac’s. Lauryn was the sole officer of the company. As for the Moringa Cartel, it was nothing more than a name reservation that had expired three months after its formation. On paper, my $100,000 investment had vanished into thin air.

“All Skinfolk Ain’t Kinfolk”

The pandemic hit, bringing unforeseen challenges. Despite this, I consistently reached out to Zac for updates. I pleaded with Lauryn to help, assuming her closer relationship with Zac might yield answers. But her relationship with Zac had soured, and she informed me that her new venture with a national television show prevented her from pursuing any legal action for at least a year. I was on my own.

I demanded that Zac dissolve my participation in the business and return my funds. His response was vague, promising to return the money once his partner returned from overseas. But days turned into weeks, and I received nothing but silence. Then, instead of the money, I received a cease-and-desist letter — a blatant attempt to intimidate me. My attorney dismissed it as legally invalid, but the damage was done. I realized too late that I should have involved legal counsel from the start.

Desperate, I contacted the Prince George’s County Financial Crimes Division and met with a detective. Lauryn accompanied me, providing proof of her own financial losses. The detective initially suspected she and Zac were working together to scam me, but her evidence showed otherwise. Still, the State’s Attorney’s office couldn’t help; our losses, though significant to us, didn’t meet the threshold for prosecution.

The Aftermath

The full scope of Zac’s betrayal came to light when I discovered another woman who had fallen victim to his schemes. Through social media, I connected with a young lady on Facebook who had also been scammed by Zac. Her story mirrored Lauryn’s — she, too, had trusted him, invested in his ventures, and been left with nothing but broken promises. She had been physically and romantically involved. The end result was a broken heart and $60,000 poorer. Her story was both devastating and validating. We were not alone, but that did little to ease the pain.

In total, I had invested $100,000 — $60,000 in the CBD skincare line and $40,000 in the Moringa Cartel. But the financial loss was just one part of the devastation. The betrayal cut deeper. Lauryn, the sister I had trusted implicitly, had unknowingly led me into the arms of a predator. Zac had exploited her vulnerability, using our friendship as a tool to manipulate and deceive.

I was left with nothing — no money, no business, and no means of contacting Zac. Emails bounced back, texts went unread, and calls went straight to voicemail. I had been swindled out of $100,000, and there was no way to recover it. Heartbroken, Lauryn had lost $50,000 and wanted nothing more to do with the situation.

Lessons Learned

Looking back, the signs were there. But I ignored them, blinded by the desire to support a friend in need and the allure of a promising business opportunity. I’ve since learned the hard way that when something seems too good to be true, it usually is. In the end, I had to come to terms with the trauma of losing everything because I let my desire to help a friend cloud my judgment. I was emotionally invested in Lauryn’s well-being, but I failed to do my due diligence on Zac. I trusted blindly and paid a heavy price.

Conclusion

In the end, the story isn’t just about a lost investment or a failed business venture. It’s about the importance of critical thinking, the danger of blind loyalty, and the painful reality that not everyone who enters your life has good intentions. I was betrayed by a man I barely knew, but also by my own willingness to believe in the impossible.

Let this be a reminder: Protect your dreams but protect your heart and your wallet even more. This experience has left me scarred, but it has also made me wiser. I share this story not to shame myself or Lauryn, but to warn others. In the world of business, and in life, there are those who will prey on your goodwill and ambition. The best defense is vigilance — ask questions, trust your instincts, and never let excitement cloud your judgment.

Victoria Veytsman DDS’ Fraud Exposed

Dr. Victoria Veytsman DDS is a well-known cosmetic dentist in New York. She has over 19 years of experience in the profession and graduated from New York University’s College of Dentistry.

She describes herself as a top-tier practitioner who provides revolutionary dental aesthetics and a stunning smile, and she is now accepting new patients. However, underlying this polished façade lies a more concerning reality. Despite her claims to be a professional and an exceptional practitioner, several people have reported incidents of carelessness and negligence.

These negative reviews are frequently suppressed by public relations organizations that Victoria Veytsman DDS hires in order to maintain her spotless reputation. In stark contrast to her public attitude, this approach of using falsehoods and dishonesty to suppress complaints raises serious ethical and professional questions. It also creates an image of a completely distinct individual.

The public persona of Victoria Veytsman DDS

Victoria Veytsman DDS’ public character was methodically cultivated. Her website and internet profiles highlight her significant experience and knowledge in cosmetic dentistry. Her website has testimonials from delighted patients as well as before-and-after images of dazzling smiles. She appears to be the embodiment of a talented and caring dentist, committed to improving her patients’ smiles and confidence.

The Unseen Complaints of Victoria Veytsman DDS

Despite the carefully crafted image, a number of patients have expressed major concerns regarding Dr. Veytsman’s procedures. These allegations, spread across multiple online sites, depict carelessness, irresponsibility, and a lack of professionalism. Patients have complained about substandard care, botched surgeries, and a lack of responsibility from Dr. Veytsman and her facility. Many of these angry individuals have published their stories in the aim of warning others about the dangers of obtaining therapy from her.

The PR Cover-up of Victoria Veytsman DDS

However, Dr. Veytsman’s impeccable reputation is not a coincidence. It is the outcome of a well-planned campaign to suppress and eliminate unwanted feedback. Multiple sources have stated that she hires public relations firms particularly to control her online profile. These organizations try aggressively to bury any unfavorable evaluations, employing a variety of strategies to conceal or erase complaints from public view. This method assures that potential new patients only receive glowing testimonials and positive reviews, leaving them uninformed of others’ unpleasant experiences.

Relying on Deception

Dr. Veytsman’s approach to safeguarding her reputation goes beyond simply employing PR agencies. She has been accused of lying and deception to conceal any flaws in her practice. Former patients have stated that their concerns were neglected or that they were mislead about the results of their therapy. This habit of deception not only erodes patients’ trust in their healthcare providers, but it also raises major ethical concerns about her practice.

Legal Responsibilities for Medical Practitioners

Medical practitioners are legally obligated to ensure patient safety and effective care. Key considerations include duty of care, informed consent, confidentiality, reporting requirements, and professional conduct. The duty of care requires physicians to give care that is comparable to what a “reasonable physician” would provide, which includes attending, diagnosing, treating, and training patients. Any breach of this responsibility may result in negligence lawsuits. Physicians must also seek patients’ informed permission by thoroughly discussing the procedure, including its advantages, hazards, and alternatives. Maintaining patient confidentiality is critical, with information disclosed only with consent or as legally required. Physicians also have specific reporting obligations, such as reporting child abuse, domestic violence, and certain infectious diseases, and must follow legal documentation requirements. Adhering to professional conduct norms ensures that physicians avoid conflicts of interest while maintaining legal and ethical standards in their practice.

Ethical Implications of Hiding Negative Feedback and Misinforming Patients

Hiding negative feedback and misleading patients have serious ethical difficulties, particularly regarding patient autonomy and trust. Patients have the right to make informed decisions regarding their healthcare, which is jeopardized when information is withheld or misrepresented. This diminishes patient autonomy and may destroy the confidence required in the physician-patient relationship. Furthermore, the ethical norms of beneficence (doing good) and nonmaleficence (avoiding damage) are breached when patients are misled, as educated patients often have better outcomes and more trust in their healthcare professionals. While therapeutic privilege allows for the withholding of information in exceptional circumstances to prevent considerable harm, it is typically viewed as unreasonable and can disempower patients. Physicians are legally and ethically responsible for their acts, and misleading patients can result in malpractice claims and breach the fundamental principles of honesty and integrity in medical practice. Transparency, honesty, and respect for patient autonomy are essential for upholding ethical norms in healthcare.

Conclusion

The story of Dr. Victoria Veytsman DDS is a sharp reminder that not all is as it appears in the world of cosmetic dentistry. While her public image is one of competence and professionalism, the reality for many of her patients is far different. As consumers, we must delve deeper and seek out the whole picture, especially when it comes to something as vital as our health and well-being. The Truth of Dr. Veytsman is a cautionary tale about how easy a well-crafted façade may conceal the disturbing realities of incompetence and unprofessionalism.
