The model has come out to reveal that the now ex-partner of the comic actress deceived him with large sums of money, as well as several friends, also alleging that Mendez He worked in a well-known company owned by his uncle.
Given this, Dreyfus revealed that Gonzalo He would have swindled him out of more than 30 thousand soles, and he also pointed out that the alleged scammer used to brag about working in his uncle’s company, supposedly involved in state tenders. “It’s not a little money, but I’m not going to give you details. He said that he worked in a company owned by his uncle, doing tenders with the state.he said at first Israel. The journalist asks him: “What was the profit that you were going to have at that time?”. “That was relative. I asked you for money and give me ten, I’ll give you twelve or I’ll give you thirteen, well, right?”he added.
Israel described the ‘modus operandi’ of Mendez, explaining how he would return money to his victims and then ask for it again, apparently deceiving them with promises of more business opportunities. And the former reality guy also owed a large amount of money, but he did not want to reveal it. “(And at some point he gave you back). He returned the money, but he asked you again, without realizing it, that is, he gave you the money, your fictitious profit, and without realizing it you gave it to him again because obviously he told you that there were more orders and more work.”he mentioned.
At another point in the report, it was also presented to Giancarlo Cossioanother person affected by the scam, stated that Mendez He also defrauded close friends of even larger sums. “Gonzalo Méndez, partner or ex-partner, I still don’t know, of Gabriela Serpa, he has scammed me out of more than 30 thousand soles, right? And to close friends with much more money”declared Cossio.
Despite the accusations, Israel Dreyfus has not yet filed an official complaint against the ex-partner of Serpawhom he met at a party and subsequently became friends, and later introduced him to an event promoter, Giancarlo Cossio. However, he related how Mendez He was approached at a concert and began spending large amounts of money, despite apparently having no financial resources at the time.
“Gonzalo told me if I wanted to invest and that the interest he gave me was good, and I trusted him at that moment and did not ask for the papers. I gave him 10 and 20 (thousand soles) and he gave me back on dates,” he added.
“As I tell you, when I meet him, I meet him without money, obviously. I imagine he had his ‘chambitas’ or something. And then he shows up at a reggaeton concert in San Marcos that I was with the Serpa sisters. He told me, hey, can I be with you in your box? And I said yes. And I saw that he started spending money. It seemed strange to me because he had no money and he started buying all the drinks, all the whiskeys, all of them must have spent 3,000 soles, 4,000 soles at that moment. And that same day I introduced him to Gabriela,” he stated. Giancarlo.
