Oncidium Capital is a private capital company based in Cape Town, South Africa. 

The company has received serious allegations of scamming its customers through deceptive practices and shady means. 

These schemes are only created to deceive the people. There are many complaints about this platform for stealing the money of individuals and not returning it to anyone. It is better to avoid these bogus platforms. This platform is not reliable for the people who want to invest their money.

In the following Oncidium Capital review, I will shed some light on these complaints and help you understand why you should avoid doing business with them. 

Here, the reviewer says that people should avoid doing business with Oncidium Capital and its owner Evan Török.

He highlights that Evan had received $20,000 through a wire transfer in December 2021. 

It was part of the transaction ‘underwriting fees’ Evan was charging the client for securing a position in a deal. 

However, Evan processed it through Renel James of Eros Global Administration which he claimed was an independent company. This company is a subsidiary of the Ninety One group, a UK-based firm.

The purpose of the wire transfer was to fund the reviewer’s legitimate oil and gas project in the US.

In a Confirmation Letter, Renel had specified that Eros Global Administration assets Oncidium Capital for these services globally. 

9/12/2023 Update
As of now, Oncidium Capital has not responded, nor has it apologized for its misdeeds. They have ignored our efforts to highlight the problems faced by their victims. Furthermore, they have only focused on propagating their fake PR.

Also, the reviewer highlights that Renel’s letter said her firm assists Evan’s company with projects like his. 

Moreover, the letter confirmed that Oncidium Capital had over $251,000,000 to meet the client’s requirements. 

The review points out that he sent the $20,000 to Oncidium Capital through KBFRX. It’s an FCA-regulated firm. 

Afterward, the money reached Renel James who gave the reviewer a receipt on 7 December 2021. 

The reviewer says that the deadline has since passed but Evan Torok hasn’t completed the process and refuses to issue a refund. 

How Evan Torok Stole $20,000 from a Client (Complaint)

In his complaint, the reviewer highlights that Evan Torok has been behaving unprofessionally ever since he received the money.

He points out that the Oncidium Capital owner makes excuses about everything and doesn’t perform his duty as well. According to the reviewer, Evan has made excuses about holidays, medical problems as well as banking issues to avoid responsibility. 

The reviewer shares some text messages where Oncidium Capital says his investment is “too low” or the quote is not worth his while. 

Additionally, he highlights that he has tried to maintain a professional dialogue with Evan Torok. 

However, the Onicidium Capital owner either ignores the reviewer’s messages or replies with a small vague message with no substance. 

Furthermore, the reviewer highlights that for the past 3 months, Evan Torok has been avoiding his phone calls as well. 

Because of such shady behavior for months, the review suspects that Oncidium Capital stole his funds. 

He hopes that he will be able to get a refund through legal counsel and additional legal action. 

The reviewer highlights that he has even contacted several government authorities in Cape Town and London. However, for the last two weeks, Oncidium Capital has been blaming the reviewer for their nonperformance. 

They claim that by getting the authorities and Renel James involved, the reviewer made the entire process more difficult. Nevertheless, the reviewer points out that he only contacted the authorities recently and it has been months since the transaction. 

“Oncidium Capital Blames its Clients For its Shortcomings”

When the reviewer contacted Renel James, she told him that her firm had dissolved its partnership with Oncidium Capital. 

Although she didn’t specify any reason why she dissolved the partnership. Later, she began acting defensively and hostile toward the reviewer.

The reviewer suspects that she might have some shady dealings with Evan Torok 

While the reviewer is still waiting for his money, he warns others that they should be wary of doing any business with Oncidium Capital and Evan Torok. 

He suggests avoiding them as they prey upon gullible businesses and are seasoned con artists. 

Updates on the Oncidium Capital Review: 

The reviewer has posted several updates on his complaint against Oncidium Capital. I have shared them here: 

First Update:

The reviewer shares that he has met another victim of Evan Torok and Oncidium Capital. 


This person had a similar experience with the company. They have been waiting for 18 months to get their funding but they barely get any responses from these guys. 

In this update, the reviewer asks if there are other victims to please come forward and share their experiences as well. 

Second Update: Another Victim Lost $50,000 with Oncidium Capital

This time, the reviewer shares the story of another victim of Evan Torok. The victim lost around $50,000 to this swindler. 

However, Renel James was not involved in the scheme because the victim was located in Europe. 

Also, the reviewer says the pattern is similar to how Evan had scammed him. He says Evan Torok poses as a successful funding provider when in reality he is nothing more than a sham. 

Furthermore, the reviewer highlights that the Oncidium Capital owner is trying to market himself as a proud Christian to distract people from his twisted fraudulent scheme. 

Third Update: Another Victim Comes Forward After Losing $63,000

Here, the reviewer shares the story of another victim who lost $63,000 to Oncidium Capital. 

He highlights that this victim is also from Europe. 

Like the other victims, this one had paid Evan Torok to get an investment. However, as soon as Evan received the funding, he stopped responding to the victim. 

Furthermore, Renel James behaved similarly. She threatened the victim to make sure he didn’t share his tale anywhere else. 

Fourth Update: European Victim Lost $12,000 to Oncidium Capital

The reviewer shares that Even Torok has scammed another individual in Europe for $12,000. 

He says Oncidium Capital is nothing but a criminal enterprise trying to scam other people. 

The reviewer highlights that Renel James and Evan Torok pulled the same scam with this victim. 

Fifth Update: More Information on Evan Torok

AeocOeXMJn8YNCy2IgEmQBkXTvFznoSYqzH5xx8n97HWTjY7EVN7PRq6qnfNeq5mi FwAJ8lku17ws8Q9i9 YNu6TE2BA4zoNfjmM9aMM2vFhY5psk 0Wx27F5 PGhU5gN5bVvJdnJpyiE4CZ1de5 0tFYSj6Hy ynrC0Ri1ZnDFqK jXSPpa0tOjA

Here, the reviewer shares that he has heard from three more victims of Oncidium Capital now. 

Apart from that, he has been able to confirm that Evan has a history of abusive and threatening behavior. Furthermore, the reviewer confirms that Renel James is complicit in Evan’s shady schemes.

Also, he highlights that Evan is a regular “user” and uses multiple aliases to get more victims. 

Furthermore, he shares that he has heard from three more victims of this guy. 

In total, the reviewer has confirmed at least 10 victims of Oncidium Capital. 

Latest Update: 

The reviewer shares that the tally of victims has increased to 16. However, one thing he has recently learned is that Evan Toko is a regular narcotics user. 

Hence, the reviewer says there is no chance this man is a Christian because his activities are extremely vile. 

Also, the reviewer appreciates all the people who showed him support.

According to the latest update, there are a total of 22 victims so far. There could be more. 

Conclusion

After going through these points, it’s clear that Oncidium Capital is not as reliable as it markets itself to be. 

The firm has received serious allegations of defrauding consumers and business owners. 

You should avoid dealing with such businesses as you risk losing a lot of your money and energy. 

For example, Peter Kondrashev is a notorious oligarch who has been using his position to defraud investors of his ventures for years. 

On the other hand, you have the case of Foxane, an offshore broker using illegal marketing tactics to get more victims. 

Hence, beware of Oncidium Capital.

    I’m a broker with several transactions that need funding (hotel for $43MM, 2 wind farms totaling $157MM and gems valued at $325MM). Evan I guess is now Istvan Torok. He contacted me through LinkedIn wanting to fund these deals but there is upfront money and it MUST be done within 5 days! I’m thankful for all of the information on here!

    I knew him as a kid. Duly note that his dad, Jonos Torok, is also up to some shady schemes.

    This is his website, it’s rudimentary and yet his is offering 50 million dollars loans.

    We are now at over 38 victims with around $750,000 in stolen fees by Evan Torok of Oncidium Capital. I encourage anyone with knowledge of his crimes to please post them or contact me/us. Holidays slowed down our pursuit but we just confirmed everything is back on track.

    Evil Evan has also created his own website trying to generate positive credibility for himself. He also reformatted his Oncidium Capital website with all this ridiculous new lingo, as well. Can you say ‘Damage Control’?

    Please also check ScamAdviser.com and leave postings there too. Evan’s website score is ranked a ‘1’, which is awful, because of the victim postings regarding his scams. In fact, Evan posted a positive review about himself under the alias name Robert that is totally bogus. BUSTED!

    Evan Torok is a horrible criminal who feels no remorse for his actions. I feel sorry for all the victims of Oncidium Capital.

      Is there not a way to alert SA authorities. Is it true that he is offering investments?

    As of this evening we are now at 31 confirmed victims of Evan Török and his ring of thugs with over US$650,000 in stolen fees since 2017. Expecting more victims tomorrow based on intel today.

    We are suspicious that our ripoff report has not been recently populating on Google for exposing the TRUTH about Evil Evan and his international fee stealing scandal. Please check this weblink for details.

    Thank you to the author for reposting information about our Thug Wannabe Playboy, Evan Török so other people do not fall victim to this international scammer. There are 23 confirmed victims of Evil Evan so far.

    Anyone who has insight and information are requested to please contact Paul Kersey in private on africacomplaints.com where the TRUTH about Evil Evan and his ring of thugs are posted for people in Europe to read that cannot access Ripoff Report online.

    Take notice that he has now formed on Oncidium Capital twitter and youtube profile on those sites too for luring victims into his web of deceit and theft.
