Alleged Swindler : Scammed Out of $800,000 by New York Limo Driver

     A New York City limo driver allegedly stole the credit card information belonging to a Hong Kong-based  billiomaire and racked up nearly $800,000 in fraudulent charges , according to court documents filed in Brooklyn.
     Astonishing , the victim is so wealthy, he wasn't even aware he had been defrauded of hundreds of thousands of dallors until it was brought to his attention by the company that issued the charge card.
     It all started when  celebrity  feng shui adviser ,  Chan Chun Chuen ,  also known as   "Tony Chan "  ( seen above), traveled by private jet   in July arriving at New  Jersey's Teterboro Airport before transported to Manhattan by Queens, N.Y. - based driver , Peter S. Rahhaoui . According to an indictment filed in U.S. District Court , Eastern District of New York , Rahhaoui later used Chan's  American Express card to "receive payment  and other things of value." The fraudulent activity allegedly accurred  between August 2008 and  November 2009.
     U.S. Secret Service Agent Kwame Davis testified that he had been contacted by a fraud investigator working on behalf of  American Express who was investigating a pattern of fraudulent  activity for a card  issed to Chan Chun Chuen . According to Kwame's testimony , a large  number of charges were posted on a monthly basic by A&S Limousine Service , for amounts ranging between  $4,300 amd $19,242 . According to court documents , the total amount of these charges was $794,986.  
     But in a strange twist of events , the victim's own alleged misdoings are now being used as a defense by Rahhaoui .
     According to the New York Post , Chan Chun Chuen was arrested in Hong Kong stemming from allegations that he presented a forged will that made him  will that made him the sole heir to billionaire   Nina Wang's fortune . Wang was  the richest woman in Asia with an estimated net worth of $4 billion at the time of her death at age 67 three years ago (according to Forbes). But the allegedly forged will is not the olny legal trouble in Hong Kong  that Chan Chun Chuen is facing. Wang, who was a love interest of chan Chun Chuen's allegedly paid him hundreds of millions of dallors for his feng shui skills . According to the NY Post , Hong Kong tax collectors have slapped Chan with a $41 million charge.
     Rahhaoui has pleaded not guilty , Rahhaoui  is claiming the American Express charges was authorized by Chan Chun Chuen.
My take : Finally, the swindler got scammed ...what a hoot.
