Description

Started with a romance scam by Dr. James Morgan, orthopedic surgeon doing humanitarian work in Scotland for the Army. He claimed to have investments in Canada that needed to be moved to USA for easy access upon his return to Brooklyn NY, He said the Yorkville Asset Managment of Toronto, Ontirio, Canada would contact me. Gary Seveny, Manager contacted me on June 30, 2025, to send documents to my home. That's when I gave him my full name, address, cell phone number and landline number. The amount that was to be sent in cash & gold bars was valued at $2,450,800. I Viewed the documents that I would need to sign online. The document said: Ya II PN,LTD, Yorkville Advisors. I looked this business on the internet and found they were located in Mountainside, NJ and I called their phone number. Told they had no division in Toronto, Canada and no manger by the name of Gary Seveny, 1-709-219-0823. When I did look up Yorkville Asset Management, Toronto, ON, Canada's website, there is a Chair, Gary Seveny, but the phone number is:1-647-776-7480. I was requested by Mr. Seveny to send $3450. for clearance fees. I refused and texted my "finance" Dr. James Morgan about the clearance fee that was never mentioned. I have not given any money and will block both Gary Seveny & Docotore James Morgan, phone: 346-419-9453.
