CARL-JAMES ASIMUS (also known as CARL ASIMUS or JAMES ASIMUS) is currently using the assumed name of “JAKE ERASMUS”. His last known location was in Blackpool, England in MAY 2006.
www.arugam.info reported here:
http://www.arugam.info/2006/10/18/arugam-bay-is/
Correction:
His last known location is Arugam Bay, Eastern Sri Lanka (Arugam.info reported at the time. See flamboyant Aussie Boat buying venture etc, on this site)
ASIMUS had set up “business” in Blackpool with a small computer/internet shop. He was also renting garage/storage spaces. This was a “front” for his fraudulent businesses.
ASIMUS was in the process of setting up Eucalyptus
Tree plantations on the property of Aristocrats and/or people with property in Britain. He then intended to sell “shares” in these plantations to other people. ASIMUS would keep the money and the people who “invested” would wind up with nothing. This is the same scam ASIMUS pulled on myself and several other people who “invested” in Eucalyptus Trees in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia in 2003-2004. ASIMUS has probably been involved in many other nefarious activities in Britain.
CARL-JAMES ASIMUS is an Australian citizen. Date of Birth: 18 MAY 1953. Place of Birth: Gundagai, NSW, Australia. Height: 6′1″. Weight: about 250 pounds. Dark Brown Hair. Dark Brown Eyes. ASIMUS is very charming when first encountered. Spend time around him and he will unleash a nasty temper. This usually happens after he gets your money or whatever else he wants from you. He is usually seen in the company of one or more young men whom he uses as “gophers” and for other mischief. ASIMUS likes to party and hangs out at “Gentlemen’s” Clubs, where he often cons wealthy people. He likes to live in small/medium size towns near larger cities.
When this BLOG hits the internet, ASIMUS will probably change his name again and move on to another town, city or country.
If anybody knows ASIMUS’ current location, or any future name changes, or if you have been a victims of ASIMUS, please contact me.

Hi Joyce,
Thanks for the effort, but without evidence or at least a link to your blog, this sort of thing could easily be an effort to slander some poor, unsuspecting, innocent person. I’ve seen this stuff around a lot on indymedia, but there is never any evidence associated. People will take you much more seriously, and be less likely to hide your stories if you put as much evidence as possible to support your claims.

Stacy - I am 50 years old and basically computer illiterate, so I’m sorry if I can’t provide the “evidence” you seem to want. GOOGLE “Carl Asimus” and read the original BLOG by MIchael Prescott in Canada. You may be able to talk to some of the victims in that BLOG. I am retired United States Navy, Military Police, and I have been investigating ASIMUS since he ripped me off in 2003. I have over 40 victims and a known dollar amount of about $900,000 (US) that ASIMUS has stolen from people. If you want more info, contact me at my Email address:

I met jake in scotland this time last year. he was trying to convince the farmers there to buy in to his eucalyptus plantation scheme. he was friendly enough but there was definatley something sus about him and i couldn’t trust him and felt uneasy around him. i didn’t realise his conning was so widespread. he reckoned he had buisnesses all over the world. weird.
this guy sounds like a creep—anybody know where he is now?
To my own misfortune, I met Carl a couple of years ago. He convinced me to invest in one of false ventures and then he ran taking about $3000 of my money. He is a sociopath and is very, very manipulative. Do not trust or do business with this man.
Do not do business with this Man!
Hallo from Bonn, Germany!
I first met Carl-James in Sydney in Dec.1979. In those days he was very kind and he supported me and my friends a lot. Later, in the 90´th I met him again, again he was very friendly and appaered to be very rich (in those days he owned a little castle near Bayreuth). He became the godfather of my daughter and I was blind enough to confide him about 85.000,– €. Never saw my money, neither my former friend since then…
Are you still interested to know his whereabouts? Could exchange our experiences.
Weissenstadt, Northern Bavaria, Germany
Will the “Anonymous” who lost $3000 to ASIMUS and “Matthias” who lost 85,000 E, in the messages above, please contact me at my Email address. Your information is very important for my investigation. Thank you.
Last I heard this scumbag was in Morrocco somewhere looking for a cup of kaffee. Hope you find him. My friend got ripped off by ASIMUS a few years ago. DO NOT invest any money with Carl asimus.

This man was trying to sell a very rare ring on ebay aobut 3 years ago. The problem was, he did not own the ring in question. I found this out after doing some simple research on my part. A very nice scam if you can find a person who would send that kind of money to a stranger. The email address posted about is correct as of 8/05 and his user ebay name is correct as of 8/05.
Hope this helps put an end to this deceiver!
Here is his email as of 8/2005

Mr. James. as he is known locally, has “invested” 300,000Euro or so in a number of small ventures in Arugam Bay as well as Hickkackaduwa, Sri Lanka.
There is plenty of speculation where the cash came from - it certaily is not his own.
Known, however, is the fact that a hotelier has filed a police and Court complaint against this man.
The ‘Royal Garden” hotel in Arugam Bay has lost about 250,000 Rs./ to this ‘Gentleman’, it seems.
A report about his Boat buying business appeared on
www.arugam.info
at the time.

I live in Arugam Bay and heard that a nice English lady called Mary has provided the money which has been spent on various projects by Mr. James in Sri Lanka

Proud to Be in Germany
As an Australian who owns a house in Germany, I have always found the majority of Germans to be hospitable and of the utmost integrity. I am proud to be in Germany as a foreigner and believe that recent occurrences of racism do not reflect the views, activities or attitudes of the vast majority of Germans. It saddens me that Germany is being given a name it does not deserve.

For all Sri Lankan citizens. If you have been a victim of Carl-James ASIMUS, aka Jake ERASMUS, aka Mr. JAMES, etc., please contact me. I am still collecting evidence to take to the FBI and Police Agencies in various other countries. Your information will remain private and will only be revealed to Police agencies on an “as needed” basis.
I am making a complete data base of ASIMUS victims worldwide and currently know of at least 80 victims and a known dollar amount (US dollars) of about $1,500,000. This is a lot of money and ASIMUS has never been brought to justice for any of his thefts or numerous other felony crimes.

Asimus is working together with an American Surfer dude called Chris XXXX.
Chris arrived at Arugam Bay claiming to work for Mercy Corps or Peace Corps.
He is now running the “Surfer’s Break” restaurant, next to “Tri Star Beach Hotel” at Arugam Bay for Mr. Asimus; representing him in is absence from the island.
I don’t know if he is involved in any other dealings or indeed, frauds.

Hi -
TKS for new info. I do not think this guy “Chris” is in cahoots with
ASIMUS. ASIMUS acts alone. He just uses these young, naive men as the
“fall guys”. ASIMUS promises them “businesses” of their own and leaves them
holding the bag, all the debt, etc. Also, I don’t think ASIMUS will return
to Sri Lanka. He made a big enough haul with Mary, that he doesn’t have to
return.
Can you tell me how old Mary is?? Also, do you mind if I share your
information with a Detective of the Lancashire Constabulary in Blackpool??
Maybe he can do something to help Mary.
Later, Joyce
from Shantha
I m in Hikkaduwa and I also know the two foreigners, Chis and James.
They done some work here, too.
contact me if you need details.
Hello Shantha -
Contact me at my personal Email: joycefevans@hotmail.com
if you wish to tell me your story. I would like to hear from you. Thank you. Joyce F. Evans
