A single mother has been paid nearly $70,000 in compensation by the Real Estate Council of B.C. after she was allegedly defrauded of $100,000 by suspended Vancouver realtor Dacheng (Damon) Wan and convicted fraudster Ayaz Dhanani.
Details of the case — dubbed “extremely serious” in a cease-and-desist order from B.C.’s registrar of mortgage brokers — involve alleged con artists, bank drafts, currency exchanges and a risky home investment.
It is the second alleged transaction discovered by The Province involving Dhanani and Vancouver realtors. And the registrar warned in 2014: “It is reasonable to assume that Mr. Dhanani may continue to deceive others in a similar way.”
