She’s a scam
Fraud
CHIMENE VANGUNDY JOKE SCAM LIAR
The residence where Ms. VanGundy has been living, 914 Avery Park, New Braunfels is no longer on the market. A property search shows that property under another name since 2013.
My suspicion is that we probably will see little or no money and should investigate using our losses as tax-write offs (consult your lawyer/tax advisor). I have a good friend who is one of the top bankruptcy attorneys in the country (usually corporate). He told me that the only time in his 30+ years that the scammer paid off is when the crook unexpectedly died and had a large life insurance policy that was able to pay off all the creditors.
I believe that perhaps action could be taken against the agents who sold these "investments." Perhaps they have E&O insurance, but from the advice I've received, the documents I signed are not normal documents for such transactions. However, it seems that Ms. VanGundy never purchased or rehabbed these mobile homes and I question if the agents or account managers ever did their due diligence and any simple investigation -- like, "Could I see where you renovate these units?" or "Could I see where you have installed these units?" or "Could I see some of the paperwork from your purchasers of these units?"
Of course, fairly we could say neither did we. Or at least I can say it.
This is a scam!!!
By the way, her last known residence at 914 Avery Pkwy, New Braunfels, TX is now up for sale.
https://mandyadams.kw.com/property/LST-6952433740163428352-4 ($375,000, no doubt mortgaged to the hilt). If anyone has a judgement against her, it probably would be worth a few bucks to put a lien against the sales proceeds if any.
Latest on Chimere Van Gundy
San Antonio trustee wants ‘Queen of Mobile Homes’ bankruptcy case tossed

The trustee administering the bankruptcy estate of Chimene Van Gundy, the self-described “Queen of Mobile Homes” and “the Mobile Home Millionaire” accused of running a Ponzi scheme, has asked a judge to toss her case.
Chapter 7 trustee Randy Osherow filed the motion to dismiss the liquidation case on grounds that Van Gundy has failed to comply with her obligations under the bankruptcy code.
If dismissed, litigation against Van Gundy that had been paused since her April 27 bankruptcy filing would be allowed to proceed.
Van Gundy, 46, did not appear at a creditors meeting conducted by telephone Thursday. Such meetings allow the trustee and creditors to question a debtor.
James Wilkins, Van Gundy’s bankruptcy lawyer, told Osherow as the meeting began that she had been advised by her physician not to attend.
“The doctor says she can’t testify right now,” Wilkins said.
It was the second consecutive meeting she has missed, the trustee said.
Van Gundy has said she sustained a brain injury late last year after falling and hitting her head on a concrete table at her home. She didn’t know what caused the fall, but said it has caused memory problems.
Lawsuits
The New Braunfels businesswoman has boasted that she earned more than $10 million buying manufactured homes on the cheap, fixing them up and flipping them. She’s been a guest on numerous podcasts and other programs to tout her investing prowess.
But some who invested with her expecting big returns allege she reneged on principal and interest payments on the loans they made. They say she orchestrated a Ponzi scheme that collectively cost them and others at least a few million dollars.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has been investigating.
Various investors sued Van Gundy and her company, Outstanding Real Estate Solutions Inc., or ORES, including for fraud, civil conspiracy to defraud and breach of loan agreements.
Van Gundy responded by filing for personal bankruptcy, putting the litigation on hold.
“If Ms. Van Gundy’s bankruptcy is dismissed, then the multiple lawsuits pending against her can proceed in the various courts and she will not receive a discharge on her debts,” said San Antonio lawyer David Jed Williams, who represents a group that sued her and her company.
The trustee wants the bankruptcy dismissed “without prejudice,” meaning Van Gundy could refile the case. Wilkins did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday, so it couldn’t be determined if he would oppose the motion to dismiss.
Williams said even if the bankruptcy isn’t dismissed, he expects many creditors will object to Van Gundy receiving a discharge of the debts she owes them because of the allegations of her fraudulent conduct.
No shows
In her bankruptcy papers, Van Gundy reported about $1.6 million in assets and almost $353,000 in liabilities. Her home, valued at $1.5 million, and two vehicles account for most of her assets. She didn’t list any financial assets. She described as “unknown” the amounts owed to more than a dozen creditors.
Some of the lawsuits against Van Gundy and ORES were filed in Comal County, where she resides.
Prior to the bankruptcy, Judge Dib Waldrip in Comal County appointed a receiver to take over ORES. It has not filed for bankruptcy.
The creditors meetings haven’t been particularly enlightening for creditors wanting to know where their money went.
At the first meeting May 26, Van Gundy told those listening roughly a hundred times that she didn’t remember, recall or know the answer when questioned.
That meeting, also conducted by telephone, was cut short after Wilkins said Van Gundy had suffered two seizures during the proceeding.
The meeting was reset to June 23 but it also ended early because she had a seizure, her lawyer said. The meeting was continued to July 14, but Van Gundy didn’t appear. Thursday marked the latest reset.
“It’s really up to the (bankruptcy) judge on how he wants to proceed on it,” Osherow said.
“Obviously, I can’t do my job if Ms. Van Gundy fails to appear.”

But during a bankruptcy proceeding Thursday, she couldn’t recall any particular deal she did to get people to invest with her or that led to her becoming known as “the Mobile Home Millionaire.” She’s also called herself the “Queen of Mobile Homes.”
“I don’t remember any specifics right now,” she told San Antonio attorney Leslie Luttrell, who represents multiple creditors in the bankruptcy. “I just know that I would find mobile homes and fix and flip them.”

That was one of about 100 times Van Gundy, 45, told the attorney and others she didn’t remember, recall or know the answer to a question during her first meeting with creditors.
During the hour-and-45-minute proceeding in her Chapter 7 case, Van Gundy said she sustained a brain injury late last year after falling and hitting her head on a concrete table at her home. She didn’t know what caused the fall, but said it’s the reason for her memory problems.
The meeting, which was conducted by telephone, was cut short after Van Gundy’s lawyer said she suffered two seizures.
Multiple investors have said they loaned hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy and sell mobile homes only to have Van Gundy and her company — Outstanding Real Estate Solutions Inc. — renege on principal and interest payments. They allege she ran a Ponzi scheme. The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating.
On April 19, Comal County District Court Judge Dib Waldrip appointed a receiver for the company. Part of the receiver’s job is to locate any assets and preserve what’s left for creditors.
Van Gundy sought bankruptcy liquidation April 27, listing about $1.6 million in assets and almost $353,000 in liabilities. Her home, valued at $1.5 million, and two vehicles account for most of her assets. She reported no financial assets.
Her company has not filed for bankruptcy.
Van Gundy has boasted she was part of one marketing group’s exclusive “two comma club” for earning more than $10 million.
She’s currently out of work and collecting $600 a month in unemployment compensation, the court document shows.
Luttrell, the attorney for creditors, asked Van Gundy during the meeting what happened to an offshore account that held $20 million worth of gold bullion as of Sept. 3.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Van Gundy said. She denied ever having such an account.
After Van Gundy said she couldn’t remember when she bought her first mobile home, Luttrell replied, “You seem to have a great recollection on some things and not on other things, so I’m just trying to figure out what it is you remember and what you don’t remember.”

Van Gundy appeared on the television program “God-Made Millionaire TV” in March 2021, telling the host she had a negative net worth of $50,000 when she started investing in mobile homes in 2015. She went on to make $1.2 million in about 16 months, she said.
But asked Thursday about her appearance on the show, Van Gundy said she had no recollection of it or of recounting how she made so much money so quickly.
“If I don’t remember appearing on the TV show, then I don’t recall anything that was said, sir,” she replied to a question from attorney Clayton Matheson, who represents some investors.
He later wanted to know where more than $2.3 million that Van Gundy borrowed on various real estate holdings — including her home — had gone.
“Again, the money was for ORES,” she answered, referring to her company. “I cannot speak for ORES. I do not have the documents in my possession to know where that went or what happened to it.” She directed Matheson to speak with the company’s receiver.
The creditors meeting will resume June 23.

BANKRUPT QUEEN OF MOBILE HOMES
She’s referred to herself as the “Queen of Mobile Homes” and the “the Mobile Home Millionaire,” buying, repairing and selling more than 600 mobile homes in 17 states. She also has said she owns dozens of mobile-home parks.
In recent months, however, Van Gundy and one of her companies have been hit with multiple lawsuits by investors who allege she’s been operating a fraudulent mobile-home investment scheme.
Van Gundy filed for Chapter 7 liquidation Wednesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in San Antonio, listing less than $50,000 in assets and debts in the range of $100,000 to $500,000.
Investors say she reneged on promises to pay them back principal and interest on money they loaned her company to buy mobile homes. The Express-News chronicled Van Gundy’s legal troubles in an article that appeared online just hours before her bankruptcy filing.
On ExpressNews.com: ‘Queen of Mobile Homes’ accused of running a Ponzi scheme
Five individuals and two companies based in California allege in their lawsuit in Comal County district court that Van Gundy has been operating a Ponzi scheme — intending to repay investors with new loans from other “unsuspecting individuals.”
Van Gundy filed for bankruptcy just eight days after the California plaintiffs convinced Judge Dib Waldrip to appoint a receiver to take over her company, Outstanding Real Estate Solutions Inc. (ORES), and her personal finances.
David Jed Williams and Clayton Matheson, San Antonio lawyers for the plaintiffs, argued that assets were in danger of being lost without a receiver taking control.
During an April 19 hearing, ORES’s operations director Meagan Dockens testified she didn’t know where the company maintained its bank accounts and that it had no current financial records.
“Everything I’ve heard is like the arrow is now with neon lights” for appointing a receiver over ORES and Van Gundy, Waldrip said after Dockens’ testimony.

Waldrip appointed certified public accountant Charles H. Adams receiver.
Making matters worse for Van Gundy, 45, she fell in late December and suffered a concussion.
Dr. Andrew Wong of Neuromuscular & EMG Specialists of Texas said in an April 14 letter filed with the court that as a result of her injuries, Van Gundy has “significant deficits” in memory, attention and concentration.
Van Gundy is “mentally incapable of giving legal testimony,” said Wong, though he added she was able to continue working full-time. Her lawyer told the judge Van Gundy risked having an epileptic seizure if she testified.
Van Gundy didn’t attend the hearing but was in the courthouse, using a walker to get around.

Her bankruptcy filing gave no details on her assets, liabilities or income. The petition said she has up to 49 creditors.
It’s the second time Van Gundy has filed for bankruptcy. In 1997, she and her husband at the time filed a Chapter 13 reorganization in Georgia.
Under a Chapter 7 liquidation, a debtor’s assets can be sold for the benefit of creditors. Bankruptcy filings generally put on hold any pending litigation against a debtor.
Michael Morris, a New Braunfels lawyer who has been representing Van Gundy and ORES in litigation, filed court papers Wednesday to withdraw as their counsel.
Morris indicated the interests of Van Gundy and ORES “may prove adverse” with the receiver’s appointment, so his continued representation of both “would be unethical.”
James Wilkins, Van Gundy’s bankruptcy lawyer, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Investors allege San Antonio-area woman — the ‘Queen of Mobile Homes’ — is running a Ponzi scheme
The monikers reflect the business she says she’s built buying manufactured homes on the cheap, fixing them up and then flipping them for a tidy profit.
The New Braunfels businesswoman boasts that mobile-home investing secured her a place in one marketing group’s “two comma club” for those who have earned more than $10,000,000.
Some who have invested with Van Gundy expecting heady returns, however, have a far different take on the entrepreneur. They say she’s reneged on principal and interest payments on the loans they made to her. And they allege she’s orchestrated a Ponzi scheme that has collectively cost them and others at least a few million dollars.
Their complaints were enough to get Van Gundy dethroned.
A Comal County judge recently appointed a receiver to take control of one of Van Gundy’s firms — Outstanding Real Estate Solutions Inc. (ORES) — and her personal financial affairs. Part of the receiver’s job will be to locate assets and preserve what’s left for creditors.
There may be little to recover.
Chimene Van Gundy started Outstanding Real Estate Solutions Inc. to buy and sell mobile homes in 2015 after she was laid off from a corporate job.

“Everything we’ve seen indicates ORES has no assets,” attorney Clayton Matheson, who represents some investors, said in arguing for a receiver during a court hearing. “The only property ORES is affiliated with is (her) homestead, which Ms. Van Gundy tried to sell…without telling us.
“So, at the end of the day, there’s nothing there,” he said.
The situation had gotten so dire that Van Gundy, 45, allegedly told one Georgia couple she’d pay them back by selling her eggs to a fertility clinic.
It’s quite the downfall for Van Gundy, who also pitches herself as a “real estate mogul,” “business coach,” “professional speaker” and “philanthropist.” A savvy self-promoter, she has appeared on various podcasts, YouTube programs and magazine covers. She also co-authored a book sharing her rags-to-riches story — and telling readers about the wealth waiting to be made in mobile-home investing.
Compounding Van Gundy’s troubles, she’s struggling with health problems after an fall in December. Her doctor advised she not testify at a court hearing in mid-April because she has to keep her stress level down.
Compelling her to take the witness stand, her lawyer Michael Morris said, “would be tantamount to her being forced to having an epileptic seizure.”
Van Gundy — who gets around with a walker — never entered the courtroom, remaining in an adjoining conference room over the course of the two-day hearing.
Difficult upbringing
By her own account, Van Gundy overcame a difficult upbringing to make her way into the mobile home investing arena.
Born in 1976, she said she was raised in Des Moines, Iowa, the fifth of seven kids.
“My family (was) pretty poor,” she said on the program “God Made Millionaire TV,” streamed last year on YouTube. “I also was raised in a church cult. That later led to me being thrust into the foster care system, where I was then trafficked, sex trafficked. Once I turned 17, I was emancipated and went on with my life.”
Van Gundy wed at 17 and had her first child a year later in 1995. The marriage lasted four years, a period in which her and her husband filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, court records show.
She later remarried. As Chimene Marsh, she earned a degree in criminal justice in 2007 from the University of Texas at San Antonio and had three more children.
She went on to work “multiple jobs in the corporate world” and as the “lead paralegal for several different law firms,” according to a profile in the 2021 winter edition of P.O.W.E.R. Magazine. It chronicles successful women.
Her second marriage ended in a “painful divorce” after 14 years, she said. She eventually married her current husband, Chad Hess. The couple have one child together. It’s not clear when she began using the surname Van Gundy.
New Braunfels-based Outstanding Real Estate Solutions Inc. borrowed money from investors to buy and sell mobile homes. Some investors allege they have not been paid the principal and interest on their loans.

She was “making a lot of money” when she was laid off around 2013, she said on the podcast “Think Realty” three years ago. She was 36 when she got the pink slip.
“After that happened, (I) made a decision that I would never work for someone else again,” she said on “God Made Millionaire TV.”
On the advice of a friend, she read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” the bestselling but oft-criticized financial advice book by Robert Kiyosaki. It advocates building wealth through real estate investing.
“That book changed my life,” Van Gundy said. She scraped together $20,000 by selling her grandmother’s jewelry and other heirlooms and borrowing $3,000 from her husband so she could attend classes through Kiyosaki’s “Rich Dad Education.”
“And that’s how I launched my business,” she said. “I was determined that I was going to change my life and my kids’ life. Nothing was going to stop me.”
Before the fall, brand building
Van Gundy “noticed the need for mobile homes and affordable housing,” according to the P.O.W.E.R. Magazine profile.
So she incorporated Outstanding Real Estate Solutions Inc. in late 2015 at a time she said she had a negative net worth of $50,000.
Within 16 months, she said she had made $1.2 million investing in mobile homes. She didn’t give details about any of her transactions, however.
“It’s an untapped market in real estate,” Van Gundy said on “God Made Millionaire TV.” “Not a lot of people know about it. Most investors think of it as trailer trash. They don’t think of it as a legitimate way to make money.”
She added, “It’s really the last affordable housing in America.”
Van Gundy’s story contains some discrepancies. For instance, she was introduced on the podcast “Embracing Vision” in May 2020 as having bought, fixed and flipped more than 600 mobile-home units and owning 30 mobile-home parks. Yet in the winter 2021 edition of P.O.W.E.R. Magazine, the profile writer put the number of units bought and sold at more than 500. Either way, the numbers couldn’t be independently verified.
Van Gundy partnered with former telecommunications executive Michael Trofimoff, 60, of Dillard, Ga. He’d started out as an investor learning about mobile homes from Van Gundy.
“We had driven 36 mobile-home parks together,” he said on the same “God Made Millionaire TV” program. “She taught me what to look for in the parks. She taught me about different architectural styles and what that means, different manufacturers. She had me crawling under different mobile homes looking at underbellies.”
Asked by the program host about the pair’s business partnership, Trofimoff said they were “primarily raising investor money so that we can continue to buy homes and parks, and pay our investors very well.”
Trofimoff called his venture Georgia Mobile Home Investing (GMHI) and promised investors annual returns of 15 percent to 22 percent, depending on the size of the investment.
Some of the investors recruited by Trofimoff are among those who say they are still owed payments on their loans.
At the April 18 court hearing on the application for the appointment of a receiver, Morris — the attorney for Van Gundy and ORES — attempted to distance his clients from Trofimoff. All of the plaintiffs’ contracts were with Trofimoff, not Van Gundy or ORES, Morris said.
But the promissory notes the investors received say “GMHI is partnered with Outstanding Real Estate Solutions.” Investors were told their invested funds would be secured by liens on “one or more mobile home(s),” though the notes didn’t identify any by location. Both Van Gundy and Trofimoff’s names were printed next to the signature line where either could sign.
Trofimoff didn’t respond to requests for comment.
‘A complete scam’
Gary Topper and his wife, Sherry, of Cumming, Ga., invested $20,000 for five years with ORES and GHMI in 2018. She had worked with Trofimoff for about 20 years. The following year, they invested another $20,000 on the same terms.
Trofimoff then set up a conference call with the Toppers and Van Gundy to pitch another investment opportunity.
“It was her raising money for a deal, a larger mobile-home park that they were looking to acquire, and she needed the capital quickly,” said Gary Topper, 55. “It was 100 percent return on your money…in 30 days.”
So the Toppers invested $100,000 of their retirement savings.
The 30 days came and went, and they never saw the $200,000 they were promised. Around the 45th day, Van Gundy mailed them a check but it bounced, he said. They later received another check for $200,000 that cleared.
Within two weeks, he said, Van Gundy told them that they could quickly double the $200,000. Rather than risk the entire $200,000, he said he and his wife chose to invest the $100,000 profit they made on the earlier investment. “House money,” he called it.
The Toppers haven’t gotten that money back or the interest they say they’re owed. Payments also stopped on their two earlier $20,000 investments.
ORES representatives gave a series of excuses for not paying, Gary Topper said. At first, they said ORES’ bank accounts had been frozen due to “activity in Dubai.” Later, it was problems related to the pandemic and then issues with ORES’s banks and payment processing companies.
In November, Van Gundy told them she would repay them with $250,000 she’d collect for selling her eggs to a fertility clinic, Topper said. Van Gundy and Trofimoff, however, stopped responding to their calls, emails and texts, he said.
“There’s no question it’s a complete scam,” he said. “She always presented herself as a Christian and someone of faith, trust and respect. We talked specifically about those attributes, and that’s something my wife and I take to heart. I basically just called (Van Gundy) out on that: ‘You’re a lying, manipulative crook.’”
Topper provided a declaration in the Comal County case — even though he’s not a plaintiff — to assist in efforts to get a receiver appointed.
Topper said he’s spoken with FBI and Securities and Exchange Commission investigators but has been instructed not to say anything about those conversations.
Hawaii investors
Investors from around the country lent money to ORES, including dozens in Hawaii.
Boram Shin, 32, a Honolulu office assistant, said a friend referred her to Santos Kidd, a financial adviser pitching investment opportunities with ORES. Kidd gave her a PowerPoint presentation over dinner.
“Whatever spell he had, I fell into,” Shin said.
She invested $20,000 with the expectation of quarterly payments of $1,500 over five years, for a total of $30,000. She’s received only $500. The investment represented half of her savings.
Shin has spoken with eight other people in Hawaii who loaned money to ORES. Collectively, they invested almost $1.2 million with the company. Some took out home-equity lines of credit while others pulled money out of their retirement accounts to invest, she said.
“I should not have let my emotions from Santos’ presentation to sway my decision so quickly,” Shin said. “I should have given it a few days to think about it.”
For his part, Kidd said he checked out ORES by flying to Texas to see for himself that everything Van Gundy was doing “was real and not a scam.”
“I saw the mobile home, I saw the office, I saw the people,” he said, adding he didn’t personally invest.
He was duped just like the investors, he said. Van Gundy has cost him clients and significant business. In a letter to her, he said he recounted “how much he hated her and what she’s done to me and my family and my clients, and how she ruined my whole life.”
On Tuesday, Kidd and his firm were named in the Comal County lawsuit by a California investor who has intervened in the case. The investors says he’s received only $25,000 on his $100,000 investment. The investor had traveled to San Antonio to attend an investment seminar led by Van Gundy and Kidd in 2020.
“Kidd repeatedly extolled the financial prowess of Van Gundy and how lucrative investing with Outstanding Real Estate Solutions would be,” the investor alleged. Attendees were told investing with ORES was “low risk” and “easy money.”
Fighting back
Other investor lawsuits against Van Gundy and/or ORES are pending in Comal County, as well as in Dallas County district court and in Georgia federal court. The Georgia case also names Trofimoff and GMHI as defendants. The claims vary but include fraud, civil conspiracy to defraud and breach of loan agreements.
Van Gundy and ORES raise a couple of defenses in asking the courts to dismiss the suits. They say they weren’t able to perform under the agreements because of COVID-19 and a national moratorium on evictions.
Their “inability to claim rent from eviction-immune tenants severely compromised (their) income receipts, making it impossible and/or impracticable for the defendants to generate sufficient income to cover business expenses,” they responded.
ORES has provided owner financing for low-income buyers and those with poor credit. But it’s not clear why the eviction moratorium would affect the part of ORES’ business that borrowed money to buy and sell mobile homes.
Morris, Van Gundy and ORES’s lawyer didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Van Gundy and ORES also argue they’re not liable for breaching the promissory notes because the interest rates they agreed to pay investors— as much as 100 percent — were usurious as defined by the Texas Finance Code.
“It’s certainly possible that ORES deliberately offered interest in excess of the legal rate in order to entice the investments but have a defense later if they failed to pay,” said David Jed Williams, an attorney for the group of plaintiffs — five individuals and two companies based in California — that sought the appointment of a receiver.
The plaintiffs are not seeking to recover interest in excess of the legal rate, Williams added.
Those plaintiffs accuse Van Gundy, Trofimoff and their firms of using investors’ money to “repay other investors in their Ponzi scheme, pay their own bills, (invest) in real estate or other assets, and/or enrich themselves and others.”
They collectively invested $850,000. They allege Van Gundy has been converting her assets into cash, which “strongly suggest(s) that she is attempting to remove or dispose of any property in this state that might otherwise be available to her victims.”
She had put her New Braunfels home on the market with an asking price of $1.5 million. That led the California plaintiffs to file a lis pendens — or notice of suit — to put a cloud on the title and effectively stop any sale.
In March, Love and Light Outreach, a Washington state nonprofit established by Van Gundy, lost an 80-acre ranch at 814 Hueco Springs Loop Road, New Braunfels, at a foreclosure auction. The property secured a note for about $2.7 million. The organization was formed in October 2019 to “promote Christian doctrines,” but watchdog organizations that track nonprofits have found no tax returns on file for it.
Morris called Meagan Dockens, ORES’s director of operations, to testify in an effort to fight the receivership application. She said she had never heard Van Gundy say she was partners with Trofimoff or his company.
Under cross-examination by Williams, Dockens said ORES had no current accounting records and she didn’t know where ORES had bank accounts.
After her testimony, Judge Dib Waldrip said, “Everything I’ve heard is like the arrow is now with neon lights” for the appointment of a receiver over ORES and Van Gundy.
Waldrip signed an order appointing certified public accountant Charles H. Adams of New Braunfels to take possession of all of Van Gundy’s and ORES’s property — save for exempt property such as her home and any retirement accounts — and financial records.
Van Gundy and ORES had five days to turn over to Adams all funds on deposit with financial institutions, as well as tax returns for the last three years.
Adams declined to comment on whether Van Gundy and Ores had complied.

Type of Scam- Mobile Home Investment
Chimene Van Gundy is a complete fraud. I invested with her and Outstanding Note Solutions, EverFlow Wealth (those are the companies she uses). She talks a good game and garner sympathy. Even going as far as having her "coach" Marijo call to smooth things over. As I told her coach I was only interested in getting my money. Her payments were almost always late prompting me to demand the return of my money since she violated the terms of the agreement.
She always has a sob story about why there's a delay, and it's always someone else's fault- the bank, the government, a mixup in processing, etc- that is, when she chooses to reply. I have written several emails over the past 2.5 years demanding the complete return of my investment. Around September 2021 I sent an email that I plan to file complaints with every agency that regulates her business. She finally responded at that point and she promised to pay in full in November. She has not paid, has not answered any emails, texts, voicemails or phone calls. At this point she has not made a payment since May of 2021. Shes running Paid ads on Social Media to "show people how she invests in Mobile Homes using none of her own money", offering courses, but yet she cannot repay the people she does owe. She's out on Social Media flaunting her lifestyle that she continues to build with money she should be paying back to her lenders.
I'm pursuing all legal avenues to get my money back and to get this practice to stop. It's time for the "Mobile Home Queen" to face the truth- She's a con artist.
Based on the complaints here, it's clear that everyone has been fed the same lies as I have. I think it's also time for a Class Action Lawsuit.
Everyone who has been affected by this scam also needs to file a complaint with every Regulatory Body to put an end to Chimene and her actions of stealing people's money.
