Karma Tshering
Scam Artist
New York, NY NY
I am reporting Karma Tshering who said in lived in Columbus Circle (NY) and worked in Wall Street. He was an old acquaintance from College. Never really talked to him until one day we exchange phone numbers through facebook and once in a while he would call to say hi and show off about his job that he makes over $80,000 and that his friends were always impressed when they learned he lived in NY. He also told me about his fashionbusiness and always invited me to go but i never attended. I was not interested and the tickets were for $20. I trusted this dishonest man and believed him to be a hard working guy striving for the best in his life. I am a friendly person and to this day all the people i know, except for him, are kind and hard working people that in despite of difficulties they might face, they are not opportunist and sacrifice themselves to have what they have.
Unfortunately, that was not the case with this guy. On, wed, August 18, 2010, he called me to ask me for a favor, he called a couple of times because i was working and couldn't answer the phone, then when i answered he asked me for the favor of lending him my credit card to put it down in his night show called "the hidden talent" in Club Touch, Ny. He said, he just needed the credit card to put it down for $1000, in case he exceeds they other amount he put on his other credit cards for the show on that day. Which was around $7.000. He begged me over the phone. I hesitated to do it but I asked him, what if they take the money, he said they should not take themoney but if they do, he would "pay back" and that he "would not screw me up like those people because he said he knew me and i was his friend." So i gave my info to the club, believing it was just to have it there without charges, but then on the next day i checked and realized they charged me $1000. That's when the roller coaster with this guy begun. I said "why" they charged me, he said, the promoter didn't do a good job thats why, and that his promoter screw him up by not advertising the show good enough. He said he would pay by the following friday which was supposed to be 8/27/10, checked my account by the end of the day and nothing. Then i called him, he didn't answer my calls, messages. I emailed him and once i told him i would take legal actions he wrote me back saying, he would pay by the following week again and that there was no need to take him to court, then it would affect him getting loans, whenever he buys a house in the future, his credit, etc.
This is what the thief asked me in one of the emails he managed to send me:
EMAIL #(1)FROM KARMA TSHERING " its been a crazy week. Can u once again give me back the citibank account number and can i get your credit card number as a refrence. I will send u the 1000 by the end of the day today. I need a receipt for tax purposes." (of course i didn't send him my personal information. If i was was to give him my credit card number again, most likely i would be in debt by now.
EMAIL #(2) FROM KARMA TSHERING, NY "let me just mail you a check. You don't need to take me to court.. give me whole address. By next week you will get your $1000. i am getting paid next week. i can mail you a check directly."
EMAIL#(3) FROM KARMA TSHERING, NY: "September 10 at 2pm you will get it. I will deposit it from my office in wall street"
EMAIL#(4) FROM KARMA TSHERING, NY: "my client never came due to the storm and you know that storm.. my client is meeting next week and as soon as i get the check from my client. "
I could go on with more lame emails he sent me because i didn't stop emailing him.
So i didn't take him to court trusting he would pay. The day came and i received nothing again. I got furious and started calling him again then he disconnected his phone. I can't reach him over the phone. He barely answered my emails and always had an excuse for not to pay me: rent, the storm in ny, couldn't meet with the client. So i was tired of it and so i received an anonymous email from someone i don't even know that told me he is been doing this to other people is not the first time. So i began my research and found out there are complains about him about a show in India. I asked him and this is what he said "why are u talking about india.. that was one stupid wrong show and it won't happen again as i will fund my own project.. you are making a big thing out it.. I will pay u next week in installment.. you just don't know whats happening out here.. I'm not 30 yr old dude.. just give me the information and see 100 in your account"
To this date he hasn't paid me, and he even filled out a facebook complaint against me for harassment because i been sending him emails to pay me countless times. I am the one affected and now he trying to be the victim.
You may check out this website in which he is asking for a co-signer for his company :http://newyork.backpage.com/FinancialServices/looking-for-a-co-signer/17...
(this website was removed by this guy attached you will see proof of this.
So now there is no way for me to contact him, not through fb, emails ( i been blocked). But i want justice to be made against this opportunist. I don't know how the money was used on that day but i feel indignant about the situation because I am a hard working person and hate people that take advantage of others. He tried to be a friend to ask me for that favor and later run away. Its a fraud/scam that he has been doing. And i can't continue this way. I want to warn everyone about him. I have all the proof in emails and texts that i was able to collect while trying to deal with this. Justice must be made.
I also found some articles with his name complaining about him and this is what he said "why are u talking about india.. that was one stupid wrong show and it won't happen again as i will fund my own project.. you are making a big thing out it.. I will pay u next week in installment.. you just don't know whats happening out here.. I'm not 30 yr old dude.. just give me the information and see 100 in your account"
He has been scamming people as his way of living, its what it seems. Even he wants to lie about his age. He wanted to pay me in installments for so long but until today's date there is no deposit for the $1000 in my account. This guy has cut all ways of communications. There is no other way to refer him but as a scammer/thief and someone that committed fraud.
Justice must be made. This man is an opportunist living from other people's sacrifice and hard work.
