I am posting this information to help prevent other people from falling victim to Internet scammer Andrew Manavi.

Working under the name 'Crystal Love' on the Internet marketing forum called Warrior Forum, Manavi set up an online forum and created a 'secret club' of people who each paid $100 to be a part with promises of great wealth. As information is revealed members are given little information and are asked to give positive reviews of Manavi's next information product to help drive sales.
Manavi only known as 'Drew' announces he will create fictitious Warrior Forum accounts to post more positive reviews. Suspicion builds and members begin questioning the legitimacy and identity of 'Drew' and 'Crystal Love'. Members were banned from his forum and there was no evidence that Crystal Love ever existed.
Manavi claims his forum was hacked and the San Francisco Police and FBI are investigating.
Manavi has not communicated since.
The San Francisco Division of the FBI has been contacted to verify the investigation. To date no response has been received.
Thankfully 'Drew's' true identity was revealed. He lives in the San Francisco area. He claimed to be a Harvard graduate, but is not. He is 22 years of age.
He has committed a fraud against approximately 50 people for thousands of dollars.

Sounds like the typical online scam to me. Thanks for letting us know.
