from love scams to lemon cars snezana and Paul Millar dienes have pocketed millions stealing from innocent people tonight our campaign to bring them to justice snezhana Chris Allen from a Current Affair remember me can I ask you some questions no comment don't know what you're talking about is this another dodgy scam how many more have there been how do I straight to bed Paul thank you very much like comment meet snezana and Paul Mel Adonis well really you've met them before we've been following their trail of destruction for a decade Philippa Currie would like to know where her money is no zoner I've just recognized the faces and just just know that you know it's pretty hard to change your lipid spots would you say their serial con men I think that sounds pretty real Philippa Currie lent Paul ensnares $55,000 to start a business two years ago it was a six-month loan and she's still waiting for her money back when Philippa phones Paul to ask where the cash is this is his response what are you talking about and clearly in there he threatens you he said he'd send some guys around here and four four guys four guys and I wouldn't walk the next week charming we first met Paul when he was running a dodgy dating agency that's him trying to hide from our cameras at his hearts United office on the Gold Coast then snares opened a restaurant and never one of his angry customers from the love scam chases Paul inside it means a mongrel he won't face the truth he's just a lying bastard never a dairy farmer from Victoria says he paid Paul's dating agency a hundred and twenty thousand dollars over two and a half years and didn't get to meet one person no wonder he let rip I'm the cleaner Mike Oh oh yeah in court Paul was found guilty of swindling divorce Sydney medico dr. Neil warmand out of three million dollars a Supreme Court judge describing milada nurse as fraudulent and dishonest they come across like they really are doing you a favor I've never been scammed like this before after the love scam collapsed and the restaurant closed Paul and snares opened this used-car business among their customers tomorrow wrath who was pregnant when she went looking for a safe car to buy they said that this was going to be a safe family car that I'd have fears but it wasn't Tamara says things went wrong with the car on the first day and now a mechanic has told her the engine had been replaced and it's too dangerous to drive I've had mechanics look at it and it is that much damage done to the engine and things like that that even they said if it could be fixed they don't want to touch it because a lot could go wrong and Here I am left with a car that is nowhere near road worthy or safe to be on the road and tomorrow wasn't the only customer complaining so soon Fair Trading were chasing Paul and sneers both of them were charged convicted and fined for winding back odometers the court heard in one case the odometer of one car was well back more than six hundred thousand kilometres and when it was sold it netted Paul and sneers a tidy profit just not good people at all I wouldn't trust them I would never buy anything off of them I wouldn't even give them the time of day some might call it karma 18 months ago Paul and sneza's car yard was mysteriously vandalized and after the couple were convicted and fined almost fifty thousand dollars for those odometer offences they gave up on selling cars and went into transporting them instead I didn't look at it at the time as being risky but I didn't know about their history either at that time which was a bit of a mistake on my part Kiwi Philippa Currie is a business expert moved to the Gold Coast to be near her mum Paul hit her up to lend him $55,000 to help set up a car transport business called Auto transporters as well as the loan Philippa says they were supposed to be paying her $1,000 a week in interest which she constantly had defied for at one point I said to Paul why is it that I have to be every time I want my money you know it never came on time and eventually they stopped paying altogether they stopped paying I'm coming up to that six-month period I was been asking for my loan money back which was the original creamer well Philip er was fighting for her cash Paul was taking orders to deliver cars here he is loading some onto a truck outside his house trouble is dozens of people started to complain to us that their cars took months not weeks to arrive and in some cases never arrived at all how angry are you Andre 12 out of 10 roughly Darwin man Andre Fischer paid almost $4,000 to sneezers company which has now changed its name to triple-a transporters they were to pick his car up in tari and ship it to Darwin it was supposed to take two weeks two months later it hasn't arrived and Andre has no idea where it is Carlos hey Carlos Andre has been told a man called Carlos picked it up and brought it here an overgrown field in western Sydney Andres friend took this photo a week ago showing the distinctive unimog with a smashed wind the compound but when he flies in to take it back it's gone how would you describe this business for starters I wouldn't call it a business again it's probably the most polite word that I would say in front of a camera Andre has now reported his car stolen to police it's just disgusting how do people how do people think that they can get away with this and not have any repercussions Jessie Challon says she paid sneza's company almost $7,000 to transport cars from grafton in northern New South Wales to Perth more than three months ago the cars to work cars and to family cars were supposed to be there in three weeks but we found two of them still at the car yard which news and Paul used to operate on the Gold Coast you know you're talking about a family of four now left with no vehicle we've had to borrow a vehicle and I'm just feeling deflated and frustrated that a company can get away with this snezhana Chris Allen from a Current Affair remember me can I ask you some questions first as clearly avoids our questions when we catch up with her is this another dodgy scam how many more have there been first there was the Loveheart scam then they used cars winding back odometers I just want them out of my life you know I don't I don't want to wake up and think of them Phillipa Cory took legal action to recover money she lent Paul ensnares she has a court order for them to pay her almost $25,000 Philippa says it's less than they owe but she just wants to move on I just hope by people watching this they can recognize you know that these two are bad news that you know they aren't they will take your money and they will make promises and you won't see it well police found Andres car in Sydney over the weekend but Jesse's car is still m.i.a along with the money owed to Phillip her
