SCAM ALERT Fake cruise line! - Triveni Cruise Lines (post from Linkedln Dr. Eric Swalwell)

[RickyLuca]

Brijesh Tyagi has been hiring personnel for the startup cruise vessel for his company Triveni Cruise Lines since the beginning of last year.
-As per him, vessel is not bought yet and no info about it to be disclosed.
-He states that noone would be required to have STCW before joining the ship which is a lie due to regulations
-He denied hiring any crew from India, his own country (due to the fact he was arrested in Greece for $$$ scam in 2017)
-He is in touch (through his hired managers) with several vendors including Fidelio, B&S yet it is false promises not to be paid off
-His company was registered in 2013 however no much information due to 0 activity
-HQ to be rented in Athens is another lie - there is no HQ
-Job letters as attached have no legal power/signature but he still keeps on distributing them to new hires
-Brijesh Tyagi has been involved in the same scam several years ago and possible vessel he is mentioning is Golden Iris belonging to Mano Cruises - due to the fact as per him she is in Haifa - TBC

Remember some conversation with you a while back over the Golden Iris, and when looking into it a bit realized that this was not a cruiseline that I was going to run right out and book a cruise on. But looks like at this point he is focusing on scamming desperate crew personal, which is unfortunate as these people, though they can be considered professional in the cruise industry they, have limited skills in other areas so without a doubt they are struggling and desperate to get back on a ship.

Appreciate your replies. To my understanding he even asked several managers to fake their resumes such as for bar mgr position hired bartender with 2 yrs experience only saying he can make it and so on...several managers left - this idea I got from Dr. Eric but some remaining and believing. Most scam is that no vendors were paid off and he keeps on insisting all without Solas mandatory course can pass it onboard which is pure violation and all who join will be sent home...if there is anything going on at all. His endgame is still unknown. Would appreciate if you suggested anyone who might disseminate this info further. Thank you and stay safe!

I actually worked on this project, setting up the casino.
I obviously left after 8 months of false promises. Especially when you ask for the deposits to order equipment
It seems to me to be like a ponzi scheme.
Get people involved then when you have a full management team,and suppliers go and find investors.
Save yourself the headache and run as far as possible from this
