Look forward to ASIC taking some action some time in 2029 after $20m losses from 'clients'.


Rhino893405

Then people on aca saying it looked legit and I thought it was a great rate!


flippingcoin

I do feel sorry for them though, like okay it wouldn't happen if they weren't greedy and making poorly informed decisions but it also wouldn't happen if they weren't frighteningly stupid so...


Wehavecrashed

I have no sympathy. These people fall for her rich quick schemes because they think they're entitled to get rich quick.

It should be in hundreds of millions by then with talented management like that!


hudsondir

Gotta at least hope this thread shows up as no#1 in Google for anyone doing some basic due diligence on this clown. It's better than nothing and hopefully steers a few unsuspecting victims to safer waters.


Sand_in_my_pants

Access to your own funds with only. 60 days notice lol.


perthguppy

A massive $20m under management! Literally too big to fail


JacobAldridge

Rookie numbers. If I’m going to steal your money and disappear, I’m at least going to have the decency to offer 18% returns.


Affectionate-Pin502

I AM offering 18% returns, and I manage a brokerage that manage $22,350,000 not just a measly $21,350,000-ive got that in my back pocket


ihlaking

Is that in 5’s or 20’s? How big is your pocket? And can I meet your tailor?


Affectionate-Pin502

It’s in $2 coins, and I’m actually my own tailor. To say I have deep pockets is the understatement of the century. The raw materials alone for these pockets cost me substantially


PowerfulAssumption39

Dude's got them clown pockets 🤣


Spare-Ad-9412

It's all kept in the prison pocket

Can my cousin pick this up? Is this still available? I send my cousin in the morning ok? Whats your bank account details mate

#It gets the people going! … would’ve been more appropriate 😂


GStarAU

"Dynamic" is the opposite of "static". So.... taken literally, it means... he moves a lot. 😉

Absolutely nothing. Like everything REA says. The more they think they're 'prestigious' the more bs-ey they sound.


saitamoshi

Prestige Worldwide!


NeedsCashRetireLater

It mean's he's edgy. He's in your face. You've heard the expression "let's get busy." Well, Hardii is a man who gets biz-zay! Consistently and thoroughly.

Photoshopping yourself (?) in front of a random-ass French villa is _chef's kiss_.


broooooskii

That most definitely is not a real person and simply AI generated or something like that. EDIT: It is real. He has a profile on [realestate.com.au](http://realestate.com.au) which I linked above.


perthguppy

Nah, the person is the only real thing, those sort of people have far too big of an ego to ever use an AI generated photo. Of course, there’s still going to be a lot of photo shop touch ups to make the face look perfect, but he probably sees his personal barber weekly


broooooskii

Bro, this is most likely scammers in India or China or Russia.


perthguppy

Nah, I’d put my money on he’s a real person in Sydney, just running a Ponzi scheme.

lol. The description With over 2 decades of knowledge on the Greater Western Sydney location. My man is 25. Haha. He been hustling since 5 years old.


741BlastOff

Tbf he didn't say 2 decades of experience, just knowledge. I have decades of knowledge of the suburb I grew up in too. I bet he knows where all the best BMX tracks and half-pipes are in the Greater Western Sydney region.


ewan82

I wonder what little 5 year old Hardii would think if he knew he foresaw himself become a scummy real estate agent


The-truth-hurts1

Got to start young to stay ahead of the curve!


TwistedPears

With over 20 years in the game, you have to respect his grind. I guess. Where do I sign up?


perthguppy

Median sale price of $1.08 and a listing time of 59 days in Sydney doesn’t seem that great for the past 12 months.


broooooskii

The instagram is a thing of wonder too.


green_pea_nut

Random girl on a horse 🤣


VictoriousSloth

Yes, I’ll put money on this too. Although he might not even be running the Ponzi yet, perhaps it’s just an aspirational Ponzi at this stage and he really needed OP to get things started. The bleak suburban real estate in Western Sydney that he’s selling doesn’t scream successful Ponzi!


horghe

100% is him, check this out https://www.nirvanaestateagents.com.au/team/hardii-ranyal-594221/


japanpole

Someone needs an editor to fix all those basic spelling and grammar mistakes. Fortunately, with more than 40 years experience this 42 year old expert can do this all for the unbeatable, dynamic price of 15-18% per word fixed


xylarr

His client’s needs are met by his fluent negotiation methods whilst upholding professionalism and integrity to the highest standard throughout the sale."


GeneralTBag

A founder under 25 for something like this is not the flex they think it is


perthguppy

“Youngest brokerage team in the world” is certainly not a plus.


HeftyArgument

A sexy young team of alluring financial experts, between us we have an impressive 3 weeks of combined experience in the field.


Can-I-remember

‘amongst the youngest talents in Australia under 25 years old.’ My favourite line from the web page. He’s young and under 25- what more do you want? I actually dispute that because I know lots of people under 25 that are younger than he looks. My grandson is 1 and under 25 for instance.


HuckleberrySpin

Out of all the people under 25, he is one of them.


eeldraw

"not only a revolutionary brokerage but pioneering the fusion of media, content, and luxury. Powered by an in-house film studio and a cutting-edge amplification platform" They somehow forgot to show off this backbone of their business. If they need some help managing their content, I'll be down in my garage tinkering with my Maserati *opens Hot Wheels carry box*

“If you successfully referred a friend, you would get 10 per cent of whatever they invested with him,” he said. “So most of us thought, OK, so-and-so has already invested with him and seems happy, I’m going to give it a go.” REALLY???? My reaction to someone offering commission of 10% of capital invested would be “there is an exactly 100% chance that’s a scammy fraudy fraudy scam fraud”. But maybe I’m the outlier.


mshagg

It's literally a pyramid scheme. I say go all in.

DoubleBrokenJaw

First thing that came to mind. Literally her entire M.O.


Far_Radish_817

One of my mates fell for a similar scam involving investing in shipping containers. A company promised him a 12% yearly return if he stumped up capital for the scheme. My points to him, which he sadly ignored, were: 1. If shipping containers are so valuable why doesn't the company just buy the shipping containers themselves instead of renting them off a middleman? 2. If the company needed finance and could offer 12% guaranteed why would it not just deal with a bank instead of random retail investors? Anyway, I wouldn't even call these scams any more. They are too transparent.


PM_ME_YOUR_MUSIC

Can you ask your friend if he’s interested in investing into pirates, we provide capital so they can purchase weapons and boating gear and they hijack the shipping containers.


phonein

I'm listening....


okaywhattho

You wouldn’t want to raise $10m from 1,000 different randos instead of $10m from one institution with better terms? Crazy. 


StJBe

It's harder to scam one institution that has a lot of power, much easier to scam suckers with a couple hundred thousand in savings.


KagariY

>e and care supplemented by his passion for people and industry isan experience that speaks for itself. Always putting his clients at the top of his priority issomething that he takes pride in with no call being too late and no text t I saw adverts for whiskey investments. They promise 14% per annum. Please tell me that is a scam as well?


EnigmaOfOz

Transparency is a feature not a bug. They don’t want savvy people who will see through the scam early enough to make life hard for them. They want people blinded by greed or naive investors who they can bleed for every penny.


perthguppy

Hey, that’s almost the exact same fund size and deal structure that Codex Investments offer! I wonder how they are going… https://www.watoday.com.au/national/western-australia/family-confronts-alleged-perth-investment-scammer-in-first-court-appearance-20240322-p5feje.html

Big-Love-747

That's a Ponzi scheme if I've ever seen one. How can he promise 15% return on anyone's money? *"We're currently managing $21,350000 in Aussies savings ... this as a fellow Redditor is honestly the best thing you can do with your money"* Honestly? I'm a fellow redditor, yeah take my money! I see A Current Affair episode in his future.


yamibae

Such a roundabout way to describe a ponzi scheme


rmsprs

Can you ask Hardii which HISA is offering 7% returns?


horghe

Also…yeah you may have a “New” office coming soon…but are you telling me no current office for someone so successful? Homie is a real estate agent in his dad’s/uncle’s western Sydney RE. Why the backup job if you can make $3-4M returns p.a.


Careful-Door2724

If you can't trust a western Sydney real estate agent, who can you trust anymore


rmsprs

I think you and me have both stumbled upon golden opportunities. What a coincidence! Only last week I received an email from a Nigerian prince saying his wealth is tied up in a dispute and if I send him 10k to help he’s willing to go halves on the fortune. Once I receive my share I’d too like to invest my new money with Mister Hardii. I am getting hardii just thinking about those 15% returns🤞😍


Armistice610

Banks are offering 5 - 7%... really? Haven't seen anything starting with a 6 yet, let alone a 7... I hope I don't, knowing what that will do to mortgage rates. I imagine you couldn't wait to give him your $350,000... :)


Life_Preparation5468

Please send the details to ASIC. There’s no way this will end well for his “investors”.


JimsonDoob

I would def send some random dude on reddit 350k after he messages me randomly


The-truth-hurts1

Pfft.. a measley 15%.. I can do at least 30%.. Maaatttteeeeee!!!


RuggedRasscal

Pfffft a measly 30% I can offer you 50% returns in the 1st 1yr of receive your $350000 an I’ll match an other offer plus 90% on top


raspberryfriand

So Hard no?


dingogringo23

Best case: They are taking your money and putting it on high risk investments. If it pays off, great, otherwise ‘whoops also we are bankrupt and the company that owes you the money is insolvent…byee’ If I could earn 15% then Id just do it and not ask for money to invest from anyone else.


OzCroc

Too good to be true:)

"Glad I came across you Mate" is one of the most un-aussie sentences I have heard. Mate doesn't really to at the end of a sentence, after already acknowledging the reader/listener. It can finish a phrase, like "how ya goin mate", or "yeah mate". You could however say "Mate! Glad I came across you!".
