In April 2008 Shankar Mattay of Hamilton, Ontario was looking to earn more money and discovered Alberta based Leisure RV.

The plan was to buy recreation vehicles and rent them out. Shankar borrowed money from his bank and gave Leisure RV $102,000 thinking the payoff looked good.

"There is revenue of a minimum of $18,000 per year, minimum," Shankar said.

In June of 2008, Shankar says the people behind Leisure RV, Steve Weeres and Rebecca Donszelmann came to his home in an RV convincing him that the vehicle he bought should go back to Edmonton to maximize his income.

Shankar says he was to be paid $12,000 that winter but only got half.

"When I called the numbers they provided, including the 1-800 numbers and the cell numbers, nobody would respond and my e-mails. Nobody would respond and I got panicky," Shankar said.

He checked out the RV's vehicle identification number on line and got an unpleasant surprise.

It was registered to someone else.

"To a dealer in Northern Ontario," he said.

In 2007, Steve Weeres and Rebekah Donszelmann held investment seminars in B.C. looking for people to invest in something they called Progress Clubs. Investors in Vancouver, Nanaimo and Winnipeg were left with failed businesses or no businesses at all.

A year later Weeres and Donszelmann were in Mexico, selling something called The Retirement Project: similar to Progress Clubs.

At the time the RV's were sold, AMVIC - the Alberta Motor Vehicle Industry Council - issued a warning that Leisure RV was not licensed under Alberta law. Its sign is still up and there are a handful of RV's on the site in farming country outside of Millet, Alberta.

RCMP in nearby Wetaskiwin, have now laid fraud charges against Steve Weeres, Rebekah Donszelmann and a third man in connection with the sale of two RVs.

'We believe their whereabouts are unknown. They may be outside of our provincial jurisdiction somewhere towards eastern Canada and for that we have sought a Canada wide warrant , what we have deemed to be a public interest warrant for their arrest," Constable Scott Mercer of the Wetaskiwin, RCMP.

Shankar is hoping for a break in the case.

"I still pay the monthly payments to the bank every 15th of the month so when I write the cheque every 15th of the month and I say to myself "where am I going to get the money for this for the next 20 years," he said.

The RCMP is asking anyone who knows where Steve Weeres and Rebekah Donszelmann might be to call their local police.
