Independent case documentation
My account of the events that led to a legal dispute concerning $1,250 transferred for a proposed investment.
The following summary explains the circumstances that led me to seek repayment through legal proceedings.
I met Gamoise Baugh through the dating application Hinge in early May 2026. We communicated regularly by telephone, Instagram and text message.
During our conversations, Mr. Baugh told me that he invested in gold and managed investments for other people. He asked whether I would be interested in investing money with him and represented that the investment offered a high return within a short period.
In June 2026, Mr. Baugh asked me to transfer money by Interac e-Transfer so that he could invest it on my behalf. He told me that the money would be returned within two to three weeks, even if repayment had to come from his own personal paycheque.

Mr. Baugh told me that his father was dying, that he had unexpected expenses and asked me to send additional money for flights. I declined. During that conversation, I understood that he again said my $1,250 would be returned the following week.
Following weeks
I made multiple requests for repayment. I have not received any portion of the $1,250, and I have not received documentation showing that the funds were invested as represented.
The claim seeks repayment of the funds transferred and any amounts properly recoverable through the court process.
