First of all, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to be here.
I am also one of the victims of Mr. Leon Kordzian. He defrauded over 45 people, collecting money to give interest of 20% to 30%.
In my situation, when this gentleman approached us, he showed us some kind of security, a notary's paper, to show it was legal. We went to the notary, and he put his house up as collateral, as security, if we would invest this money. He was in real estate, and he wanted to build some houses for newlyweds, couples. He fooled us into investing money to build these kinds of houses for the newlyweds.
After a while, we found out that this was all a fake, a fraud. When we asked him to give back the money, he always had excuses: that he didn't have it, that his mother was sick, and all this propaganda. When I found out that this guy had been in this kind of scam for almost 10 years, we went to the police and we claimed what happened.
Thanks to Madam Mourani, through her great help, we went through the police and we got lots of good response. We brought him to justice. We are in the case right now. Hopefully, we're going to bring justice to show him that this kind of fraud is unacceptable, and we can nail him and show the other victims that we are here for them.
Mrs. Naltchayan and I represent 45 people here, 45 victims, as a matter of fact. This guy defrauded us out of over $1 million, including me. I am here to ask you to help us to stop this kind of scam by these kinds of people.
