DirtyScam allows anonymous submission of complaints from angry consumers and victims of scams. Since the website is hosted offshore (probably in Russia or India), we take this (negative) review against Michael Banks aka “Prince Michael Banks” with a pinch of salt.

Here is what the review says –

This is year 3 of Michael’s LUXORR scam with his partner in crime (literally) Vikar Kahn. These homeless fraudsters have ripped off thousands of dollars in wages, short-term loans, office equipment, bounced checks, rent, food, drinks, etc… upwards of $100,000 and counting according to sources. A friend of mine was offered a ‘well paid job’ at LUXORR and was never paid for his time – losing thousands in revenue and wasted time working for a company that does not exist.They pretend to be wealthy off-the-grid eccentric millionaires and they prey on status seekers, investors, job hunters, real estate agents, lawyers, municipal officials, tourism boards, tourists, hotels, restaurants, and clubs. They promise to give them a life-changing  job/opportunity/contract to work for, or with, a multimillion dollar, international hi-tech venture named “LUXORR” or “LUXORR VLC” or “LUXORR Li-Fi VLC”. They also try to get money, office space, food, drink, and shelter by leveraging this story to others.Vikar is nowhere to be found on the internet – already an alarming reality for someone posing as the CEO. He has no legit credentials and many false ones like a fake Harvard education, fake Wall Street background, and social security numbers that are stolen. All the LUXORR site contact numbers and addresses are false and all emails. Just check yourself. They can’t even afford phone lines, they use Vibr and change their number frequently. There are also a couple of fake press releases and Youtube videos online that supposedly highlight Luxorr’s technological solutions, market value, and business operations – all of which are NONEXISTENT.Michael however, is less cautious and parades around with his faded black suit, cheap silver pendant, and Louis Vuitton bag full of everything he owns. Just ask him to look into his bag and you will see in a blink that he is broke and homeless. He is always in clubs, boutique hotels and restaurants looking for free drinks and food, and opportunities to con individuals. You can spot Michael anywhere with his fake looking ultra bright white teeth and a drink of sorts (his favourite is a NEGRONI) that he owes $ on! A hair salon told me that he owes thousands in hair services so that’s how he gets that 70s fro straight. Last I heard, he was squatting in the basement of a pizza joint in the plateau but got kicked out when the owner god fed up of his lies and realized that he is clearly not who he says he is.Beware of these two individuals seeing as they are highly adept manipulators, liars, and thieves. Report them to the police if possible.
