Message posted by: Sameh Elrahimy
To whom it may concern: Go Pro Construction, LLC and Sameh Elrahimy (Plaintiffs) have filed a claim in the Circuit Court for Washington County concerning 22 anonymous posts published on this website. The case (No. C-15-CV-25-000588) is pending in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County. Be it known that Plaintiffs plan to subpoena information that would identify the names of the persons who published the anonymous posts. If you oppose such action, you may want to intervene in the above referenced case. The anonymous posts at issue in the above referenced case are as follows: On 2-11-24, Defendants published the following statement: “Got into a conversation while at Home Depot with someone doing a kitchen renovation. Mentioned Optimum and Go Pro Construction—or should say GPC Construction or GPCDMV?? Ironically, he had heard of them when a contractor said google Elraihimy before making any decision. He thanked the contractor for the tip. No contractor should lose business to GPC, or whomever they are –“google Elraihimy” is all they have to say.” On February 2-11-24, Defendants published the following statement: “All of the recent reviews for the business look fake too.” On 2-11-24, Defendants published the following statement: “Yeah man, the whole thing looks shady as all out. I wonder if it's just a matter of time if we start seeing victims of GPC construction soon. Sameh Sam Elrahimy lost a recent judgment no? This was kinda what sparked Omar Amr Elrahimy to go on his little escapade.” On 2-12-24, they stated: “Appears Go Pro Construction has been registered as a trade name (DBA) for GPC Limited Liability Company LLC. GPC Construction is neither a corporate entity nor a trade name for another company and a company itself. If you pay Go Pro Construction or GPC Construction good luck in finding where your money went. I can’t think of a normal business scenario to be doing all of this. My guess is an attempt to hide from a judgment or something related to the Optimum legal issues. The IRS, who already has GO Pro on their radar per judgments last year will surely be looking at all of this to see what companies are paying taxes.” On March 1, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “Oh look at this, 2 of amr elrahimy's multiple motorcycles that he bought with our money being auctioned off. I really, really hope they finally stop him from hurting others. Also for Sameh elrahimy's current customers please watch out for frivolous purchasing sprees because that was one of the red flags we should have been paying attention to while we were with Optimum Construction.” On March 10, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “Lol heads up but Samey elrahimy is using another new name, this time Samey Raouf of GPC Construction. Please, please, please be careful if you are working with GoPro construction or are on the look for renovations and construction. DO NOT BE SCAMMED LIKE WE DID! No one should go through what we went through and continue to go through.” On March 13, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “Man its more about hiding his last name. If you google Elrahimy you find out all the lawsuits, bankruptcies, and general mismanagement/fraud of millions of dollars involved but if you Google Raouf it all disappears. So hopefully Raouf starts trending too”. On March 19, 2024, Defendants published the following statement “it’s crazy to see some of the GoPro remodel pictures of their jobs and compare it to the event Optimum Construction ribbon ceremony and wonder where did all the materials go.” In response to the statement quoted in paragraph 19, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “You mean GPC Construction with good old Sameh Raouf elrahimy, brother to Amr Omar Elrahimy.” On March 29, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “Jesus christ who writes the elrahimy playback? So amr elrahimy stole millions, samey Raouf elrahimy swaps to essentially an unlicensed and unbonded company, the wife of amr might have committed credit card fraud and is being sued by Citibank. It’s almost funny that none of them haven’t faced any serious time behind bars considering how many people have been hurt by old amr. Oh and the other brother got into trouble for assault and battery. Swell family…” On March 31, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: So here's a general question: why can't the government go after the elrahimy's via a RICO charge. It's clear money exchanged hands between Amr and Sameh, both are constantly being sued by various people and corporations, they both do really shady things (example exchanging vast amounts of money and various family members have claimed they are claimants for the optimum bankruptcy). Even his one brother Fady was convicted of assault and battery and the wife also has legal troubles i can't even imagine the hundreds of people who will be hurt by these people in the future.” On April 6, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “Lol Amr is such a loser!!! So his bankruptcy lawyer is throwing in the towel because the lawyer can’t do his job because old scamar the moron that pissed away 4 million dollars wants to do things his way. Like my question is why aren’t the trustees looking into his bottomless legal funds he’s got going? Like he’s had 3 bankruptcy lawyers, 1 defense lawyer for the fraud case, and his wife’s lawyer—so that’s easily 100k. If he’s claiming his brother is paying for it maybe sameh raouf elrahimy should have his books looked at. Gpc construction or gopro construction is tied with Optimum so who knows how much of our money went there.” ON May 21 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “Lol man I dunno if people are following this but apparently his brother sameh elrahimy raouf also needs a tax attorney. Based on what Amir Elrahimy testified to there is a lot of money unaccounted for that moved between him, his brother, and his dad. If I was a current customer of GoPro construction or GPC construction I would absolutely have my guard up. Please be safe out there.” On June 8, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “Yeah I wouldn't trust GPC Construction, its the rebranding of sameh elrahimy company. Telling u that whole family are crooks...” On July 13,2024, Defendants published the following statement: “Lol don't u know maryland is pro crime? With all the fraud amr elrahimy and his family have don't have much faith in the system or those that are supposed to protect us. If anything I feel like amr has laid out a blue print to defraud people and still live pretty comfortably. Like hey as long as u rent a mansion the government can't touch u because u basically have no assets. Like send all ur money overseas because all u have to do is claim a "whoopsy" and they can't stop u for like 2 years. Yeah u might get some fines or fees but just have ur brother send u the money as "loans" and they can't touch u. It's all a terrible joke and unfortunately 40 families are the butts of this joke. And they wonder why people have lost faith in the system. And for everyone out there, do not put more then 30k in a project because anymore and you are a fool if you think mhic, the ag, or anyone else that u think would help u would. I am beyond bitter and aware that we have no safety nets. Sorry for the long post but Jesus this would be comical if it wasn't for the very real consequences that 40 families are going through.” On July 13, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: Yeah its hard to type on the phone and I can't edit posts on this forum. Also thanks for shitting on a person that is utterly broken by the system. I guess you are pro fraud. Great. Maybe you like Sameh elrahimy's upcoming lawsuits for breach of contract with various customers? There's a great one where rhe judge calls out all his failures and possible interference with the findings. Or maybe you like GRIP supercar being tied into this? I've never named Amr's wife in this before but maybe people might be curious about her credit card fraud scheme? I have the case numbers i can post up. All of this is public record, named in the bankruptcy meetings, and can be quickly referenced. On July 26, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “Yay Amr elrahimy has an new alias, he's going as Omar Helmy and he's trying to sell a bunch of crap on Facebook.... so now it's Omar Helmy, Sameh Raouf, almost like they are trying to distance themselves from all the fraud they've committed....” On July 31, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: wow, over a year and 122,000 views later someone stands up for Sameh. About time, where have you been? However, lets unpack your comments. First the title of the thread is "Warning for those looking for a contractor" and therefore the references to Go Pro Construction and other companies named in the thread are all on topic. While there are many other instances that can be looked at, the DC case alone brings all of the families hurt by Optimum into the discussion of Go Pro. Read the court documents! Optimum Construction worked on this construction site for Sameh. As stated, Optimum was not paid and there was no expectation for being paid. Therefore, who paid the Optimum staff? Yes, "we" all paid for Optimum staff to work for Sameh as our funds did not go to our projects. Read the case, read Sameh and Omar's own words. Thank you for saying we all have the right to be angry, this means you are aware of what Optimum did to so many. What you are not saying is how are all of these court cases are wrong? Is the DC judge lying? Is the workers comp insurance company lying? Is Toyota finance lying? Was the IRS lying? If no warning is needed in the thread on Go Pro, please let us know why? I applaud you for speaking up. We all would like to hear the other side, if there is one. No one has a problem with you speaking up and we would all benefit by having someone share a perspective that is different. This is what happens in a forum like this. On July 31, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: Yeah, Samey Raouf is not a “good dude”. He worked and abandoned quite a few projects when he was subcontracting GPC to Omar Helmy aksa AMR Elrahimy during the Optimum Construction days. Just because he treated you well does not means [sic] he treated the Optimum construction victims the same way. His hands are dirty too and now that he doesn’t have a 2nd company to leach money off of it’s not surprising the lawsuits are popping up. . . . If I was a GPC customer [sic] I would be pretty nervous right now.” On July 31, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “It breaks my heart mhic swept the lawsuits under the rug. If this forum had existed in 2022 we would have been saved all this pain and suffering. Now all I can do is hope that others see this post and avoid the whole lot of them. Omar Amr Elrahimy Raoug Helmy Samey Sam, all of these thieves and fraudsters. Like the other poster mentioned with all these lawsuits on them you can clearly see something was wrong but back in 2022 there was so much paid positive press we were just marks for the big con. Hopefully GPC or GoPro or Optimum Construction or FKB are forever tied with what they did to so many of us.” On August 5, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “So mhic screws up again, omar gets away scott free, no one at mhic faces any consequences, no one has to lift a finger, and its the homeowners that have to eat a turd sandwich? What about Sameh Raouf Elrahimy from GPC? He made money off of his brother, can't they get him as an accomplice to the fraud? Its been in all the cases that they are intimately connected or are they gonna let him pass with a nod too?” On August 5, 2024, Defendants published the following statement: “8-5-24: I figured he was looking to get out of the country because of the tax fraud and PPP loan abuse. Like the lawsuits he can blow off but the other stuff is what caused other fraudulent contractors to go to jail. I think with Omar leaving the country Sameh is going to be screwed. Based on the court documents Optimum Construction was essentially offsetting GPC shortfalls so since he's out I would hope the OAG would be monitoring incoming money more closely...” |
