SCAM ALERT: Alleged South African Conman Andre Paul Shaban Is Said to Be in Sihanoukville, Cambodia
"SCAM ARTIST & CONMAN - WARNING
This man is Andre Paul Shaban. He is a South African and carries a South African passport.
He is, according to recent information, staying at the Occheateul Guest House in Sihanoukville. I am led to believe he has been hiding out there for about a year.
He used to be a financial advisor based in Cape Town, South Africa. He then got involved in the launch there of an airline, Sun Air. People invested millions with/through him in the company. It went pear-shaped and they lost all of their money. He leveled the blame at the financial director, but as we all know, as he was the CEO, the buck stops with him. What happened to all the money is anybody's guess, but I am sure you can put 2 and 2 together. After all, he was very busy flying all over the globe, staying in expensive hotels etc.
If you do an Internet search on Google and type in his names there is a lot of information of how he ran the company and his stories that few believed and most questioned.
When the bubble burst he fled South Africa and went to and holed up for quite some time in Chiangmai in Thailand.
He is and has been involved in promoting an investment in a forex-type, highly geared investment with a business "partner", a Mr Jeroen Sliep, who is a Dutch citizen, lives in the Netherlands, and has often visited South Africa to get people to invest, along with Mr Shaban.
High returns are offered as well as certain guarantees.
After the last tranch was finalized my wife and I awaited money from Mr Shaban related to the investment. This he promised verbally as well as in countless emails and phone messages. We have actually been waiting since March, but all my wife has received are countless emails, Whatsapp messages etc promising that the money is "on its way", all of which have proved false. And to make matters worse he has blatantly lied to her on numerous occasions.
He has also said his Cambodian visa has expired, a few weeks ago, and that he has no money. Yet he continues, as far as I know, to stay at the Occheateul Guest House, and eat and drink?
The latest from him is that the last investment has suddenly been cancelled??!! And he says investors will get their money back?? After costs and fees etc have been taken?
My wife is now destitute due to Mr Shaban and co reneging on matters and quite clearly this is a set-up or con.
Please send and/or forward this information to people you know, as well as guest houses and hotels.
And, if possible, alert the Cambodian Immigration Police and authorities.
Mr Shaban has no shame."

These type of people deserve a VIP seat of the transportation to jail.

I haven't seen him - but this makes my blood boil, he sounds very much like the guy who took me for everything.

If someone in a safari suit and speaking with a weird accent offers to sjambok your kaffirs at a bargain price, turn and run.

I've never seen/met him and don't hang out in the area he stays in, but if all is true he deserves a one way ticket to hell. (or as the New York mafia used to say "a dirt nap.") If he had screwed me out of a bunch of money and I knew where he stays......, well enough said.

He will scam the wrong person here and end up disappearing
