My cousin and her husband invested $60,000 last year. They were receiving a monthly return until the con artists pulled the pin and ran.
Contact Detective Michael Streng (or his partner Detective Wilson) at Toronto Police - Financial Crimes Division 416 808-7300 if you were a victim.

Debit Direct may have taken $30 million dollars before they ran away with investors money. Most investors were not rich. They were just average people looking for a reasonable return. Many planned to use monthly returns for their retirement.

How did it work Thiel?
Debit Direct charged something like $3000 per debit terminal and promised investors 15 cents back on each transaction plus one dollar per cash back. In their contracts they agreed to be responsible for all maintenance of the machines for the life of the renewable five year contracts. Investors received a monthly report how their machines were dong and had their fees deposited into their accounts.
But, Debono and co up and left town about six weeks ago. There is also no record of where the machines are. They were takiing huge sums of money from trusting investors, giving small amounts back each month to get their trust, and sell them more machines that don't exist. Once they had millions they left for Panama or some other place outside of our justice system. And the kicker is this is not the first time that scammer, Charles Debono has been behind a scam like this. A few years ago, it was Profit Express.
Debit Direct has been advertised on legitimate sites like Franchise Direct Canada. You can read more about it on Red Flag Deals, Entrepreneurship & Small Business forum.

That is so unfortunate your cousin along with other Canadians were victims..
And the fact that one of the people behind it has a history of fraud makes his victims even angrier..
I hope justice is served this time and it sends a message to other would be swindlers.

From a Google search, they were attending franchise shows and had no complaints on BBB..
But, that was because they hadn't been around very long under their new name.

People paid three grand for those debit machines? That's about seven times more thanwhat they are worth.
