I hereby legal Representative of my client sameh elrahimy request immediate removal of a private document of my client which is being shared without my client's permission and violating privacy of my client. Thus it is causing depression and insecurity for my client as it is appearing in google search as well. The document is present in following link.

If the content in question is not removed within 12 hours, we reserve right to file a DMCA takedown notice to website hosting provider as well as file a legal case in court for breaching privacy of my client.

Note the lack of professionalism in this correspondence. No law firm is named and the lawyer doesn't even provide her name. The grammar is atrocious. She didn't even bother to capitalize her client's name. Moreover, the post to which she linked does not contain any documents, let alone any that are subject to her client's copyright.

I immediately denied any copyright violations and requested that the lawyer cease her contacts with me. Over the past couple of days, I've received tens of emails that appear to have been instigated by her client asking for posts to be removed. But, she continued the contacts.

In order to support her allegation of a copyright violation, she provided the following screenshot:



That, of course, simply shows the results of a Google search and does not indicate any material subject to her client's copyright on this website. During much back and forth, I repeatedly asked her to leave me alone and, finally, said that continued contact would result in a post of this nature. She continued demands for removal of posts, if not the entire thread, and lastly offered to make "a deal" which I interpret to be an offer of a bribe.

I have no personal experience with this family's business practices, but I have repeatedly been subject to attempted legal intimidation and, in this case, lies and baseless legal threats. Draw your own conclusions about what this says about the individuals involved.

Sorry you have to go through this. This is what we had to deal with for years now from the Elrahimy family. Amr Elrahimy tried to sue his victims for damages occurred to him, just let that sink in to people still giving them any credit. He tried to sue HIS VICTIMS. So now we know his brother wasn't just keeping Amr on as a consultant but also that he has the same sort of intimidation tactics. Also thank you so much for standing against these bullies. I can't even begin to tell you how powerless we feel on a day to day basis.

BTW if Sameh wanted to thank anyone for this increased scrutiny he should thank Amr Elrahimy for continuously mentioning him during the bankruptcy meetings. Oh and I bet it went over real well with all the people hurt by Amr that Sameh would be asking for a sum of $150k. Swell family, can't even let us have the tiny scraps owed to us. I just pray that current costumers of GoPro or GPC or whatever construction Googles Elrahimy and not go through what we are going through.

Thanks for letting us know, Jeff.

Wow... Well, very appropriate addition to this thread. This is just more of a warning for anyone looking for a contractor. Do you homework! To Sameh Elrahimy and Go Pro construction or GPC Construction or GPC Limited Liability Company -- whomever you are today, thank you for letting us know how effective this thread has been! Also rather ironic to have this released on the one year anniversary of Omar's bankruptcy. Doesn't appear that 90-plan worked out too well. Don't forget to thank your brother for all of the extra advertising he has generated for you here.

Anyone know the status of Amr's case?

[Anonymous]

No one ever answers this question…what is the status of Amr’s various court cases?

[Anonymous]

I don’t think there has been any movement yet. We all know the system takes forever

Man my question is how is GRIP Supercar Events going? Like is Amr Elrahimy still scamming folks out of their money? I wonder if any of them lost money to his failed Dubai venture? Same with GPC GoPro Construction with his brother Sameh Sam Elrahimy; like how are his customers fairing. At least with all this head hopefully he does his job unlike his brother.

Have you thought about filing a complaint with the bar association?

I hadn't thought about that because all I wanted was for them to leave me alone. But, when you mentioned this, I realized that the "lawyer" hadn't even provided her full name or mentioned her firm. I just did a little research and it appears that she isn't a lawyer at all, but a so-called "DMCA takedown specialist". You pay her $30 and she is supposed to get content removed from the web. I hope she has a money back guarantee or Sameh just wasted his money.

Sounds like she's practicing law without a license.

Is she even operating from this US? The email sample provided looked like she is from another country.

I suspect that she is in Pakistan, but I am not entirely sure.

He's connected with a company called Limitless garage working with the trustees on selling Amr's vehicles. Still curious what happened to the other Mercedes.
