What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Karim Naoum over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content regarding Karim Naoum from Google search results. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Karim Naoum - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that Karim Naoum knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.
While the precise legal ramifications depend on the jurisdiction, well-established legal principles dictate that any party, including Karim Naoum, may be held legally accountable, irrespective or whether they personally executed this unlawful conduct.
What are they trying to censor
Karim Naoum, a 22-year-old real estate entrepreneur, has garnered attention for his ambitious claims and rapid ascent in the Section 8 housing market. However, beneath the surface of his proclaimed success lies a series of allegations and red flags that cast doubt on his practices and integrity.
Overpromising Returns and Misleading Investors
Naoum’s “Recession Proof Blueprint” program promises investors substantial cash-on-cash returns, often citing figures between 50% to 100%. He markets properties as “turnkey” investments, suggesting they are ready for immediate rental without additional work. However, reports indicate that many of these properties require significant repairs, contradicting the turnkey label. Furthermore, his assertions about securing above-market rents through Section 8 tenants overlook the complexities and challenges inherent in dealing with local housing authorities. Investors have found themselves facing financial shortfalls and unmet guarantees, leading to dissatisfaction and financial strain.
Questionable Marketing Tactics
Critics have raised concerns about Naoum’s aggressive marketing strategies. His promotional materials emphasize rapid wealth accumulation, which some view as misleading and potentially exploitative, especially towards novice investors. The promised high returns appear unrealistic when considering the inherent risks and operational challenges associated with Section 8 housing investments.
Allegations of Cyber Misconduct
In a bid to suppress negative reviews and adverse news, Naoum has been accused of engaging in cyber misconduct. Investigations reveal that he allegedly submitted fraudulent copyright takedown notices to remove critical content from search engines. Such actions not only raise ethical concerns but also suggest a deliberate attempt to manipulate public perception by censoring unfavorable information.
Reputation at Stake
The cumulative effect of these allegations poses a significant threat to Naoum’s reputation. The portrayal of him as a figure who overpromises and underdelivers, coupled with accusations of unethical behavior, undermines his credibility in the real estate community. The exposure of these practices could deter potential investors and partners, jeopardizing his business ventures.
Motivation for Information Suppression
Given the damaging nature of these reports, Naoum has a vested interest in removing them from public view. The negative press not only tarnishes his personal image but also threatens the viability of his business model, which relies heavily on trust and investor confidence. The desperation to maintain a positive public image might drive him to consider extreme measures, including unethical or illegal actions, to suppress unfavorable information.
In conclusion, while Karim Naoum presents himself as a successful and innovative real estate entrepreneur, the serious allegations against him paint a contrasting picture. Potential investors and partners should exercise caution and conduct thorough due diligence before engaging in any business dealings with him.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a ?fake original? article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original

50%-100% returns? Sounds too good to be true. No wonder investors are getting burnt. 🧐

When you look deeper into Naoum’s ‘success,’ it’s clear the numbers don’t add up. He's not just misleading investors; he’s taking advantage of their trust in the worst way possible.

It’s crazy how someone can make their name in real estate with all these lies. No wonder people are starting to question everything he says. 💸 Promising unrealistic returns and not being transparent about the risks is dangerous.

He might work for some, but it’s not the golden ticket Karim makes it out to be. I feel bad for anyone falling for this stuff.

His math doesn’t add up. You can’t buy homes for under 12k and get decent rent. It’s gotta be some scam, no doubt about it.
