From Love to Robbery: The Murky Real Estate Deal That Bankrupted Hearts

• Harris convinced his girlfriend to invest in a new real estate business which transpired to be non-existent.
• He used her credit card to withdraw funds and make unauthorized transactions.
• The ex-girlfriend reported this to the police after charges totaling $70,000 were discovered on her account.
• Harris’ whereabouts are currently unknown but police are working diligently to locate and arrest him.

Now, dear readers, allow me to add some color to this black and white story.

Murky Real Estate Deal Goes from Love to Robbery

Roll up, roll up for the great property hoax! Step right in as we uncover the depths to which a man will go, from whispering sweet nothings to sweet kissing $70,000 goodbye. You’ve heard of ex-lovers stealing hearts; now meet Rob Harris, the romantic grifter who stole his sweetheart’s savings.

Romance that Bankrupted a Heart

In a tale as old as time, boy meets girl; only in this modern twist, boy also meets girl’s credit card and takes it for an extravagant spending spree. Kiss dinner and a movie goodbye, folks, in this lover’s tale the dinner is made of dollar bills, and the movie? Why, the non-existent real estate business of course!

Where is he now?

Our shining knight proven fraudulent, seems to have disappeared into thin air or maybe just hiding under a rock. Perhaps he’s out there, in the wilderness, conjuring up his next master plan or maybe he’s close, lurking around the corner, waiting to whisper sweet I-O-Us into the next lovestruck naive ear.

But despair not, dear readers. Our story does not end in a fit of heartbroken frustration but with a beacon of hope, sparkling from the horizon. Police everywhere are pumping those detective muscles, brimming with determination to locate our runaway charmer, reminding us that while we may encounter players in the game of love, the gray line between romance and theft will not be tolerated.

My ‘hot take’ on this: Perhaps, dear Harris was merely trying to put the ‘real’ in real estate; real fraudulent, real crafty and real soon behind bars, that is. Now isn’t that the reality check we all need from love and real estate?
