Isaac Austin

The truth must be told

I am embarrassed to be a victim of his scams and crimes, but it is important this scammer be stopped, so I have decided to do what I can to try to prevent him from harming others, as he has harmed me, my family, and my business relationships. He has threatened with litigation claiming slander, but I welcome the opportunity to have my attorney take his deposition. I have caught him in so many lies, he can't keep track of what he has said. What he has done is criminal and a crime.

First and foremost, I share some of the responsibility for being in this situation. I was aware he was caught in a scam before I decided to do business with him. It was obvious though a simple email search ( https://www.google.com/search?q=isaac+austin+scam ) But I chose to listen to his story, meet him in person and buy his BS and give him a chance. That was over 7 years ago. I made very bad decisions by continuing to fall for his lies, over and over and over again…. And here I am. I have ruined several of my professional relationships, some very personal relationships and my own well being has damaged..

As I am sure you must be thinking, "This guy writing this must be an idiot for letting this drag out for years"…. And you are right. I am embarrassed and am undergoing treatment for depression as well as PTSD from all of this. I ignored all the obvious signs and continued to believe him, over and over again…… I never imagined that somebody would blatantly lie as he has done…. With intent.


I have heard every single excuse imaginable…. Car accidents, hospital emergencies, family crisis, banks not releasing his money, attorneys not releasing money, clients not paying him, my phone was broken, I was traveling……they are on vacation…..I have heard it all and always gave him the benefit of the doubt.


All of this created a snowball effect that caused significant damage to me and my reputation, and my finances. I leveraged relationships to invest money with Isaac Austin, only to let them down as they got nothing in return. Isaac even took advantage of a 70 year old man by making promises of huge returns if only he was sent small amounts of money to help him out. Yes, that 70 year old man is also involved going after him. He told my wife on her deathbed, while she was in hospice, that he would definitely be sending me everything I am owed. She died 5 days later.

Finally, enough is enough. If this is happening to me, it must be happening to others. I have already identified another group that sent Isaac over $500,000 in which he did not fulfil his promises. This is why I am putting this site up, to prevent others from falling victim to Isaac Austin and all his scams,, schemes and false promises. The guy is a lying con artist who cares about nobody but himself.

He did not just tell me money was being sent, he "1000% guaranteed" the wire was sent, or being sent, or was being processed….. time and time again. I shared the damage that was done when he said a wire was being sent and it did not show up…. He could care less. He has no remorse and took no responsibility. It was always, "I don't know what happened" or "I will look into it". I am not exaggerating that this happened hundreds and hundreds of times….. all documented. The guy just does not appear to have a conscious or a soul.

Yes, I am an idiot. Yes, I should have cut the line long ago…. But I refuse to pretend this didn't happen because I am embarrassed and I will pursue him until justice is served. What he has done is criminal by definition, and unconscionable as a human being.

HE BELONGS IN PRISON. I have taken the initial steps to bring criminal charges against Isaac Austin. Not only with the local authorities near me and the local FBI, but also the Securities and Exchange Commission, The FBI in Houston Tx, The Texas Attorney General, The California Attorney General and the Nevada Attorney General, as well as the FTC.

The scam — bullet by bullet

I could go over each and every single detail, but that would take pages and page……I am just providing some very basic bullet points:

  • 1. Isaac has entered into several agreements which required an up front investment.
  • 2. Before each investment was sent, I was assured of when the investment would be paid back, along with the profits of each investment. Most of these were minimum investment with astronomical returns.
  • 3. Over the past 6 years, none of these investments paid out, yet they were all 100% guaranteed with ZERO risk.
  • 4. Essentially, every month that rolled over (and every year) came with an assurance that the investments and profits would be paid back "any day".
  • 5. I received several letters that may, or may not, have been sent by an actually attorney's claiming I was being sent funds, yet never received anything.
  • 6. I have well over 4000 text messages from Isaac, as well as a significant number of emails, outlining deals and promises of payments….. NOTHING ever
  • 7. It got to the point that the money was coming in any day, but he needed $100 for food, or $300 for hotels and meals to travel to collect "OUR" money. There were times he had a family emergency and did not have anyone else he could count on except me to help him out by sending a few hundred bucks…. Which I always did as our funds were coming in "any day".
  • 8. I stopped counting after documenting 400+ times that he texted that funds were sent, being sent or he was waiting on the wire receipt that funds were sent.
  • 9. In total, Isaac was sent well over $100,000.
  • 10. The total amount to be returned for those funds ( after each deal that didn't come to fruition, He doubled down and the next deal he would make up for it and promised more money ) sent was over $50,000,000. That number was then negotiated by Isaac Austin down to $30,000,00, which was negotiated to a "take it or leave it offer" of $17,000,000 which was to be received within 30 days of the offer. That was mid 2025. Every time money was sent and I enquired on the status, it was "Bro… relax, it's all good. We are getting paid……months later he would say there was a problem and the deal was dead…. BUT, he has another deal that is closing that's even better and would provide more money.
  • 11. In May 2026 he was to send $1,000,000 and the remaining $16,000,000 would be sent by the end of June 2026. As of July 1, he has not sent anything.
  • 12. The first week in May he shared that he received the money, it was in his account and he would send the initial $1m in 48 hours. Two days later, he told me he instructed his accountant to send the money, but the funds were in his account, that he controlled. Again, "Bro… stop stressing… it's all good…. We have the money".
  • 13. A week later he shared his bank would not send out $1,000,000 at once, so he was sending $300,000 the next day, $300,000 the following day and then $300,000 on the third day and finally, $100,000 on the 4th day. The remaining $16,000,000 owed would be sent to my no later than the end of June. Again, as of 7/1 NOTHING has been sent.
  • 14. A week later, the funds had not been sent, but his accountant was now sending funds from Isaac's account to an attorney, who would be sending me the initial $300,000 and continue to send on the schedule as agreed. NOTHING>
  • 15. A week later, no funds had been received, he did not know why and would find out and let me know by the end of the day. That continued for 2 more weeks.
  • 16. It was at this point that Isaac stopped taking my calls and refused to speak with me on the phone. And he rarely replied to text.

It has been 7 years of this and hundreds and hundreds of texts saying funds were being sent. NOTHING…..
