How the mission of the Czech to catch the Indian swindler failed

How the mission of the Czech to catch the Indian swindler failed

Aspiring filmmaker Dan Ramm of Connecticut contacted Bose in December 2022 to make the video. It cost $750 and by “some magic” even though the coil was downloaded from the internet, the coil Bose supplied worked on the Ramm. So, when Ramm was working for an NGO that worked with children with cancer, in April 2023, he spent $1,000 of the NGO’s money on Bose to create a video animation of a little girl with cancer becoming an adult. Bose never got the job done.

“Later I found out that Bose was a fraud… I really hate spending NGO money because of my stupidity,” he says. Quint.

Ramm learned from other victims in a Facebook group that tracked Bose that he should file a complaint with the local police in Connecticut. “But you know it’s the Internet and he (Bose) is in another part of the world. I know it’s not the biggest amount of money to lose, but I’d still like to get that $750 back.”

In May 2022, Eddie Jaroch of San Diego signed an animated film deal with Bose. “Bose insisted on using a debit card, but luckily I didn’t have one on my account, so I used my credit card to send over $1,620 (down payment totaling $4,000) to get started.” Then Jaroch gradually became the ghost of Bose. Yarokh was among the lucky ones who managed to cancel the credit card payment, so technically he didn’t lose any money.

“Ayan (Bows) is convincing, attractive and a master manipulator. The contract contained many pages of detail, including terminology like color grading, compositing, overlays that only animators would know,” he says.

“I have filed online complaints with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and the San Diego Police Department regarding the scam, but have not heard back… So far I am not expecting anything.”

British citizen Lee Lawson, who lives in Estonia, contacted Bose via Facebook in November 2019 to make an animation video after seeing demo videos that Bose had posted on Facebook. By early January 2020, Bowes had gradually ghosted and blocked Lawson after the first installment of $1,320 was paid out of a total commission of $4,000.

The ubiquity of the Internet complicates the situation for victims. They don’t know what kind of crime it is and who to report it to.
