Have you been a victim of Samir (Sam) Succar’s ( RE/MAX agent’s) scam?


Please note that this blog is about Crime Prevention to raise awareness and protect potential victims. This page is not a Harassment or threat blog but to advise potential victims what to do when this person approaches them.   If you are reporting this page you are not helping potential victims but helping crime to flourish. (Please also see latest court update at the end: December 18 2024) 

This is not an online scam.  I would call it person to person which is based on previously established trust.  

The Real Estate agent, Samir (Sam) Succar, from RE/MAX, LLC, builds his trust with his client and one day he stops for an unscheduled surprising visit.  He acts like he desperately needs the money because something tragic happened or Revenue Canada closed his account and he does not have money for his kids for the next 2 weeks.  When the deadline comes to pay back the money, he makes himself unreachable via pager, cell phone, text etc.  His broken promises are going on forever in hopes that his victims desire to receive back the money is going to fade away. 

He also acts like a legitimate Real Estate agent,https://www.facebook.com/samir.succar.737, but his licence was revoked beginning of 2019 and RECO; Real Estate Council of Ontario, charged him multiple times https://registrantsearch.reco.on.ca/Convictions

https://www.reco.on.ca/wp-content/uploads/Case-Summary-POA-Succar-Samir.pdf

On January 15, 2020 Mr. Samir Succar was found guilty by the Ontario Court of Justice of five (5) counts of furnishing false information on an application or renewal form, contrary to Section 40(1)(a) of REBBA 2002. These charges related to the ongoing failure of Mr. Succar to disclose to the Registrar that he had filed for bankruptcy in the past. He was fined $3,000 per count for a total of $15,000. On the same day, Mr. Succar was also found guilty of two (2) counts of failing to notify the Registrar in writing, and within 5 days, of a change in the information provided to the Registrar on an application or renewal form. This was found by the court to be a violation of Section 40(1)(c) of REBBA 2002 in relation to Section 34(1) of O. Reg 567/05. These charges relate to Mr. Succar’s failure to notify the Registrar that he had a Judgment filed against him in the City of Hamilton and further that he had been charged with a criminal offence under the Criminal Code of Canada. He was fined $3,000 on count 6 and $5,000 on count 7 for a total of $8,000.


If you are a victim of his scam, please report him to RECO, https://www.reco.on.ca/,  and to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (https://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/report-signalez-eng.htm).


Latest court order as of December 18 2024

Please note that In 2020 Samir Succar and his wife, Catherine Succar, both promised the they are going to pay back the borrowed money, which they did not, and that was the reason this matter had to go to court. 



As of December 18 2024 there is a court order against Samir Succar that he has to pay back $1389.00  to his client.  When Samir Succar borrowed the money he was a  Real Estate salesperson at Re/Max and this qualifies as unethical behaviour under RECO's guidelines. 


Do not hesitate to take legal advise and move ahead with legal actions to recover your money.  You can proceed with both a civil action and a criminal complaint.

Debt Help

How to find the right debt solution and try to avoid bankruptcy?

With uncertain financial times just around the corner, many North Americans will be faced with difficult challenges. The economic picture is simply not pretty with North Americans being laid off at an alarming rate, the real estate market constantly declining, and the stock markets losing ground daily. Many North Americans have high debt ratios and no job prospects on the near horizon. If you are in tough financial situation there are some help but you still have to be careful to not to create bigger debt issue by accepting any temporarily solution. Like always you have to use your common sense.
You should only consider taking this avenue if you are in danger of losing your car, house or your investments. If you are stressed out because of heavy debt load there are some companies which temporarily, at certain cost and risk, willing to help you out.




How You can Avoid Bankruptcy


Are you struggling with high credit card debts and cannot pay your payments on in time? You know that you have money coming in but you are short on time? Try to avoid bankruptcy? There could be a solution for you by considering consumer proposal.



What is and who needs Consumer Proposal


A Consumer Proposal can only be filed by residents of Canada.
U.S. residents can file a Chapter 13 Wage Earner Plan can help you which is similar to a consumer proposal.
A consumer proposal is a deal you make with your creditors. It's a "win-win" for everyone. Your creditors get payments on what they are owed, and you don't have to worry about your creditors taking you to court.
A Consumer Proposal helps you to adjust your payments to your creditors, by reducing the amount you owe them or extending the time you have to pay them back. Consumer Proposals can cut the debt you pay back by huge percentage.



Consumer proposals are good for the following people:

• people who don’t qualify for a bank loan
• for those who don’t want to go bankrupt
• and for those who are capable of making payments to creditors
• They need a certain amount of time to pay back their payments.
• Best suited for people with debts in excess of $5,000 to a max of $75,000.


How consumer proposal or Chapter 13 Wage Earner Plan can help you?

Many Canadians benefited from the Consumer Proposals because of the following reasons:
  • They only have to repay a portion of the debt they owe.
  • Once they file, their interest rate freezes. No more unexpected interest rate increases.
  • They get more time to pay off their creditors.
  • One monthly payment means they don’t have to deal with multiple creditors.
  • Creditors are stopped from taking legal action against you

What is covered by Consumer Proposals?


Consumer Proposal only covers unsecured debt, which is not tied to any asset. Unsecured debts include:
  • Credit Cards
  • Utility Bills
  • Cell Phone Bills
  • Lines of Credit
  • Personal Loans
  • Department Store Cards
In order to get accepted to qualify for consumer proposal first the candidate has to file for the necessary paper work and has to get approved by the committee.
