PIERRE OLIVIER - BE WARNED

<p>About 2 years ago Pierre Olivier visited my workshop with an enquiry on his vehicle. We chatted for a while while he waited for this vehicle and informed me that he was a private detective for the SA Police Services. He also had this wonderful project where he acted as a loan shark and enquired whether I would be interested in joining him with this venture. He explained that he charges interest on the amounts lent and that he arranges for payment of the loan amount with the HR department of all the clients. Apparently a lot of money could be made. I agreed to join this venture and was asked to put down the first lot of money. According to him the first repayments were due at the end of that month and that I would be seeing some money coming my way. He provided me with names of clients, the amounts lent and the amount which would be regarded as a profit. A few days later he asked me for more money which I paid over. The loan amount in total is R35 000-00. It carried on for some time and when I enquired as to when the so called money would pay out, he would smooth talk his way out of it. I got tired of this and became suspicious. I approached my attorney who sent him letters of demand. A summons was then served on him to attach his personal belongings. The sheriff's report indicated that he had no personal effects on his name and that there was none to attach. Surely this man must have a source of income to accommodate his standard of living. Why can't this be used towards payment of the loan ? Please be very careful for this man. He is a smooth talker and a lier. Please tell me what my next step could be. It is a lot of money.</p>
