Beware this man. Portuguese National and alleged con man: Luis Manuel Felix Rego.
Beware this man. Portuguese National and alleged con man: Luis Manuel Felix Rego.
Many many people have come forward with their stories as victims of him. Are you one of them? We want to talk to you.
Allegedly Luis spent 6 years in prison in Portugal. Then, he formed a business there called Carteira de Soluções. Eventually, he was on trial, facing new charges yet again, together with his business partner, facing 6 years prison, but after a lengthy trial, the charges were dropped.

Allegedly, he scammed enough people that he had to flee Portugal, together with his lover and partner in crime Fatima Borges. One of his victims was a lady that he actually stole her house from, in a house selling fraud. She lost over 60,000 euro’s.
He arrived in Malaysia and eventually established Pirates Tavern and a bakery in Penang. When his partners learned that he had not used funds to pay the bills, he absconded with available money and left a huge pile of debts for his partners there to deal with.
Fearing for his life again he fled Malaysia whereupon he arrived in Cambodia around September 2014 spending about 2 months in Sihanoukville before arriving in Siem Reap. Without a doubt, following his M.O., he would have talked a big line and solicited business partnerships with multiple people in Sihanoukville. Did you see him there or talk to him? He would have been impossible to miss.
In Siem Reap, he established a business with investor funds but never paid. (Casa Porto Restaurant, Wat Bo) He solicited more investors, and took funds from at least three other people, unknown to each other, before finally being locked out of his premises for failing to pay the rent around December 2015. He eventually found access to the building and stole secured assets before running yet again to Phnom Penh, where he tried to further liquidate the rest of his things. He left owing staff their wages, and the security guard who also helped with the barbecue was not paid for three months wages.
While in Siem Reap he solicited many people with business ideas and partnership proposals. The smart ones resisted. One well connected investor as well as some other debtors had him sign agreements with the Siem Reap police that he must pay his debts and could not leave until he did. We suspect and hope that the police held his passports as security, and therefore, he was stuck in Cambodia.
We thought that perhaps he had somehow left Cambodia, however, we recently learned that he may be operating another restaurant with an investor partner somewhere behind Aeon mall in Phnom Penh.
We are a group of people committed to making Luis Manuel Felix Rego and his partner Fatima Borges accountable for their crimes with the hope that they may face criminal justice. Part of this task is connecting the dots and finding others who have been stolen from to make our case stronger and well documented. The second part of our agenda is to make people aware of this man so that we can do our part to minimize his opportunities to create more victims.
Please beware this man, he can be quite charming and believable, but once he realizes that you are no longer a mark, he can turn on a dime.

Did he spend six years in prison in Portugal or not? That's a pretty big thing to leave to "allegedly."
I can't condone lazy witch hunting.

Fair enough. This man is about 54 years old. As you know, 20 years ago, things didn't live on the Internet like they do today. This allegation is peripheral to the rest of our statement, and our case does not rest on it. We are hoping to collect proof on this and more, and this post will also help us do so.gavinmac wrote:Did he spend six years in prison in Portugal or not?

I (poster) am one of many people deceived and stolen from by this couple, and some of us are working together. We wish the record to stand. We appreciate this forum for this purpose. We hope to find more people that have an interest in this case. We wish that when people search for information on this man, they can be well informed before making another mistake.scobienz wrote:What's your interest in this FoolMeOnce?

You will see, if you allow this thread to evolve, you will see much more testimonials that corroborate our story as people come forward.
You also know that to get anything done legally in Cambodia is very expensive and nothing moves without a lot of money. This is how he is getting away with this. So far.

No one needs supporters, people need to be aware. That is all.Lucky Seven wrote:Foolmeonce didn't you have a campaign running on Facebook about 12 months or so ago on the same subject .... no luck with that attempt to get supporters ?

I have no idea if it might be related it or not. But there is a brand new Portuguese bistro (literally just openeing) that I happened upon last week. I just dropped in to have a cold drink and did not see any foreigners working there, but the friendly Khmer staff made a point of telling me to come back for dinner sometime as the chef/owner was Portuguese and the food authentic.FoolMeOnce wrote:

Cannot recall the name or exact location but it was on the same street as Rainbow bridge near Anik hotel (not too far from Aeon).
I hope it is not connected to this guy as it looked to have potential.
