Alex Youssef is a career con artist who preys on individuals and companies interested in doing Panelized Load Bearing Construction.

Alex Youssef has a growing history of litigation. He has been caught by some and sued because of it however most cases are Alex Youssef suing partners/associates/investors/customers/vendors or whoever has the deepest pockets to draw from.

Alex Youssef is known to form false businesses in an attempt to lure his targets. Companies like Advanced Building Systems, Advanced LGS, LLC and Pinnacle Advanced Building, Inc., to name a few. He also managed to be the CEO to some of these companies, which all are known to be Panel companies, at the same time. It seems suspicious to own and operate two businesses that do the same thing at the same time.

From June 2015 until July 2016 he was the CEO of both Advanced Building Systems and Advanced LGS, LLC. Two companies known to produce the same types of products and services.

From October 2016 until Present, he is the CEO of Advanced LGS, LLC and Pinnacle Advanced Building, Inc. These companies are also both known to be Panel companies.

Currently, one of Alex Youssef’s businesses is registered to an address that has no affiliation with him or the business. On his website https://advancedlgs.net, it lists his address at the bottom of the page. This link shows that neither Alex nor his business have ever been associated with this address. Additionally, none of the businesses that have been here are related to a Panel company. https://homemetry.com/house/11905+R...+Downey+CA

Alex Youssef misrepresents himself to try to attract his victims. He makes claims that he is not able to provide any evidence of. On the website https://gust.com/companies/advanced-building-systems, Alex makes claims of $20M “...in work orders…” Alex is attempting to mislead potential business associates as there is no way to prove what he has in work orders. This is a blatant attempt to lure potential targets.

Where Alex Youssef makes his final strike against his victims is by suing them.

Mercedes Benz Financial has a lawsuit which can be easily located online. In this case, it appears Alex Youssef has taken money for a job and not performed the work. This tends to be the case in most of the lawsuits involving him.

Another lawsuit easily found online is Alex Youssef and 5D Systems; his own company. He was a partner in 5D Systems that was a Panel Manufacturing company. This company was in business for less than 12 months. Within that time Alex Youssef managed to not only bankrupt the company, but attempt to sue his partners.

In regards to one of his business associates Grace Zhu; they were in business for less than a year. He was caught stealing company funds (embezzlement). He was an officer and reported owner of the firm. He was embezzling funds from him and his partner until the firm was forced to close their doors.

Pinnacle Construction – Alex Youssef entered into a contract with Pinnacle and Ali Fadhavi Construction to do an apartment building. He received over $700,000 in advanced payments, and quickly abandoned the job after only 30% completion.

He had a similar experience with a job in Oakland. The panels were so poorly manufactured the installer was forced out of business.
