I too was scammed by Lutz Meyerding :-(

[Pier]

I'm Pier, I won't give my last name but I have no choice except to go public so that others might be warned.

I'm a European adult webmaster and Internet marketer. Earlier this year I was approached by Lutz Meyerding. He offered to save me some taxes with his Dominican Republic mailing address and cheque cashing service.

I quote his message below.

hallo

i see u own an adult site

if u make a lot of money u can save taxes with my service

i'm in the dominican republic, i'm a german ex-banker and i own a webcam studio

there are no taxes here in this country

i'm reputable and respected and my connections in local cambios (exchange company) can cash checks in any name

if you change the beneficiary of your adult checks to any name that u choose (person doesn't have to exist) and send the checks to my maildrop apartment in santo domingo i will cash the checks for you and transfer the money to your anonymous offshore cash card which i give u for free

my fee is only 7% and u get the money 1 week after the check arrives

i have a good relations with the guy at the cambio

normally it takes 4 weeks but they know me (i'm reputable) so they give me the money faster

its anonymos and u save all taxes and only pay me 7% and u get the money after 1 weeks

its worth if you make good money, some countries have taxes of 50% others less

in germany i work as a branch manager of deutsche bank i have experience in this business and confirm it is legitimate

u can also contact my lawyers biaggi & messina for a reference they will confirm my reputation

get in touch and let me save you some taxes

I was excited to save taxes (and time! it takes several weeks to cash a US cheque through my bank). And after some hesitation I gave it a try. I changed my payout name and address to Meyerding's address (I will post the address here if others want to know it and if i don't receive any threats)

My "anonymous" offshore card arrived in the mail three weeks later.

Ever since that time I was waiting for Meyerding to hold his promise. Now several months later he received 15 to 20 cheques and at least 15 cheques were cashed. This was confirmed to me by the payers.

He only made excuses but never paid me and my offshore card never worked at all.

Two weeks ago he stopped all contact.

I can only assume I have been scammed. I changed my cheques payouts beneficiaries back to myself.

What can I do? Go to the police? I don't think so, because I wanted to avoid taxes. I'm sure that was part of Meyerding's plan.

I lost at least $38000. I don't know if he scammed anyone else with this cheque cashing service fraud but it is likely.

I'm young (21) and I was inexperienced so I trusted him and fell for the scam.

Stay away from this thief. I'd better pay taxes than loose everything to the big scammer Lutz Meyerding in his Dominican Republic holiday paradise. I will not trust so easily again and I will use search engines to check out people I do business with.

You lost $38,000?
Over what length of time?

hate to say this - but why do I care about Lutz Meyerding - most intelligent webmasters and owners are not going to do business with someone that they first haven't checked out his credentials and history. Generally we keep to ourselves and ask for industry references rather than mainstream ones.

If anyone does fall for his scheme then it is their own fault for not doing homework and checking out references.

show a bit of compassion man - the guys not saying its not his fault he's simply trying to warn others. It is far from a perfect world and people f*ckup some times.

Why all the hate?

Have you noticed that most of the original messages about this Lutz guy are from people who have written only ONE message???

There are replies from us, but all those people are new... weird...

[Evil Chris]

It might be weird, but a search on Google for Lutz turns up a lot of pissed off people and even weirder things.

[Virgule3]

Yeah, but why would they all take the time to search where this Lutz has spread his lies, and then, register, write the messages, etc...

Anyway...

It's good though because he's a looser but it's weird nonetheless...
