Amir Eftekhari of Cyrus Towing Hires Professional Car Crasher to Hit Innocent Victims to Defraud Insurance Companies and Steal Cars, According to Former Employee.

"Raymundo" aka "Delta"

He’s 71 years old. Mexican. Talks with a squeaky and calm high pitched voice. Grey hair. Glasses (some times). 5 foot, one inch. As he’s driving, Cook believes the following happened.

Espiridion Raymundo Mendieta Morante (“Raymundo”) found his target car: a red Toyota Prius. I want this one, he thinks. He calculates what angle to hit the car like a pool game. He rear ends Elder Arambula’s red Toyota Prius at an angle, and like a struck pool ball, the Prius veers right. Raymundo then accelerates, knowing he needs to hit the car again to make it spin and confuse his victims. Raymundo hits the passenger door head on. Exito! (Success!) The red Prius spins out of control, and Arambula’s driver crashes again the guardrail, almost flying off the edge. Raymundo thinks, Chevere. I’m the best at this. I’m god. I choose who lives and who dies on these freeways. I did it again! 

 The thrill and the high. So satisfying. This is what Raymundo lives here.

Lying in wait, before the two can call AAA, is also Cyrus Towing. The driver, Amir Efetkhari (“Amir”), defrauds Arambula by claiming Toyota’s SOS system went off and that All State will pay for his tow free of charge. When the CHP Officer, Eric Voss comes onto the crash scene, Voss orders Amir to tow both cars towed off the freeway, giving the impression this is an official CHP Tow.

Raymundo doesn’t want to explain what happened, but he says he’s an unlicensed taxi driver, who lost his Uber license. Raymundo also has a passenger.

Immediately after the collision, the Filipino passenger, who wears nurse scrubs, calls, or pretends to call, someone immediately. He fails to ask if Arambula or his passenger, Paul Cook, is ok.

He just keeps talks on the phone in order to avoid talking to Arambula and Cook. (Justin Bieber does this, when he wants to avoid reporters.)

Raymundo’s passenger alleges his name is Aldrin Soliman Garcia. Although he alleges he was a nurse on a taxi ride seeing an in house client, Garcia has the same address as Raymundo. Garcia has a cancelled security guard license, a cancelled firearm license, and a cancelled baton license. 

It's suspected that although the Filipino nurse is using Garcia's name, this is not the actual name of the nurse.

Cyrus Towing charged Arambula $1,700 for towing and 3-4 days of storing his car. Business Owner "Dee Dee" says on recording that CHP called Cyrus Towing to tow the car.

Cook contacted former tow truck driver, Vinny Smith. Cook showed Smith a picture of Raymundo. Smith said, “That’s ‘Delta!’ He does work for us. He calls in after he ‘sees’ a car crash.” Smith calls him a Bird Dogger, someone lying in wait to report car crashes to tow companies.

 But after Cook explains that he believe that Ryamond intentionally hits vehicles causing them to spin out, Smith swears and says, “Oh, shit! No wonder.”

Smith recalls that around April of May this year, in Los Angeles, he towed a Hyundai or Kia in Los Angeles that Delta called in. The car spun out, like Arambula’s Prius, and hit a pole.

Cook and the Hyundai are not the only one. Cook interviewed another former victim, Elias Hernandez. Two years ago, while Hernandez was changing lanes in

Los Angeles, a car hit him, and he spun out in the middle lane near the 101-110 freeway interchange. Like Cook, he was dazed and confused and didn’t know what happened. Hernandez described that an older man, short, squeaky voice, Hispanic, as the driver that hit him.

Hernandez states that Amir defrauded him out of $17,000.

Smith states that Cyrus Towing, along with Autopro Collision Center, owned by “Yazeem Karoom” aka “Jessie”, commit insurance fraud together. Every car that Amir brings to Karoom, Amir receives a percentage of money.

The other day, Arambula and his college roommate, Marilyn Angel, found Raymundo’s car parked right outside of Autopro Collision Center.

Smith states that the main players of the operation are “Dee Dee”; Amir; “Delta”; and “Jessie”. He also believes Lakeshore Towing is also involved in the fraud ring.

Smith states that Amir cheated him out of $3,000 in stolen wages. Amir has been sued numerous times for fraud. It appears he’s been found civilly liable for a judgment and attempted to discharge his debt through bankruptcy.

Cook and Arambula request that law enforcement do everything it takes to halt these operations immediately, before more drivers get hurt or killed. The two suspect that Raymundo may also be a hit man.
