Boiler Room Scams

Does anyone have any information regarding Michael Shumak, John Kim, Guardian Securities Ltd, White Crystal Management, Transnational Securites, Trust SA, or Mitchell/Morgan Finch International?

This guy is going to be caught and I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

The address exists but it will just be a virtual office, they wont be there, or anywhere near there. They will be in some third world dump where they can pay off the police. I can find no trace of that number, though the code indicates its most likely a New York mobile phone number.

Of course the relevant authorities may be able to find out more. Have you reported this?

Hi people. I'm also a victim of these scams many years ago !!! Thank god I only send a small ammount (according to what I read here). 9 years now I get calls 2-3 times a year from people that say me that I own some company's shares (which I am not aware of course) and a buyer is interesting to buy them for an ammount that always is 160K$ and more (so tempting!!!). When I say "of course I will sell if you want them" after 2-3 calls and after they have send me some supposedly legal papers to sign, they always started telling you "unforunatelly...your shares are not able to be sold publicly, because of the restrictive legend and I need to deduct it by paying ............etc"!!!! Same story all these years. They are so into their acting role that when I say them I cannot pay it, I don't have money they reply me by sending me also some supposedly legal papers to sign that I give up my right to these shares!!!! Unbelievable people!!!! The last company called named "Summit private equity LLP" the person who called me named : John Blaze. All papers signed by someone called David Klein!!! Here is the trap!!! There is a legal company by name "summit partners" with a real person "David Klein" (they steel his intendity). By searching their website created on August 2012 hosted by Moldova server. I track John blazes' email and it is in Netherlands!!! I have so many information about them, but it doesn't matter cause noone does anything about that!!! Or am I wrong? Can I send information somewhere that will help other people from these "empty" human beings???

Haven't been here for a while as the scams do not change. However decided to follow this one. I was phoned, then e mailed, by Susan Richmond in May claiming that a scammer named Mr Cox had died and his estate had been seized to repay his Linsure victims and my name had appeared on the list. Their lawyer, Mr. Peter VanDerHoon, then phoned to explain the deal and then Mr Grant Marshall e mailed a proxy form to give them authority to deal on my behalf. The story was that the money was in Latvia and I would need to pay a retainer for the lawyers. A variation on the advance fee scam. Unfortunately I have deleted the mail with the fees attached. Told them where to go.
Lo & behold another call last week from David Jansen of World Wide Financial, Banhofstrasse 98, Floor 5, Zurich, 8001, Switzerland.. This time they have a client who has been ripped off in Linsure stock and is now trying to buy up said stock and then claim a tax rebate on the drop in value. He offered £2.50 a share and I have 50000!! 1.5% commission to them for the deal, fair enough, but then there is the matter of 10%, £12.500, to be deposited in Escrow in the Phillipines. They sent me proof that the buyer had deposited his £125,000. He claimed there was no risk on my part as the UK banks were insured, although they do not tell you this, so if I was scammed my bank would refund the money! Try that on your bank manager. Yes they are insured but only against their errors, not the clients. And they can only recall the money if the recipient agrees! I took the time to check and its all in the standard conditions we are all issued with but do not read. Anyway the documents were contersigned by the same Grant Marshall. CEO no less.I let David Jansen stew for a day or 2, then took his call this afternoon. After the initial pleasantries I told him I would not be going ahead as it was an advance fee scam. I then had literally 5mins of him ranting down the phone, my wife even took the phone for a listen, and I could not get a word in. I was going to offer him £10000 if he would come and meet me so we could do the deal face to face, but he was not listening. I got bored eventually and hung up, thereby depriving myself of the pleasure of telling him where to stick his phone. But I do have the vision of him having a fit in his office. If there ever was any doubt that this was a scam he certainly cleared that up!
Anyone else heard from them?

nice one.

I used to have a little game with them where I would try and get THEM to hang up on me without being rude or telling them I had no funds was great fun

I can see that there is alot of passion here, let try to channel this against these criminals. I have asked a lot of questions on different blogs sites and have managed to freeze several accounts, I have also sent copies of a standard Mareva letters to those thant want it. The weakness of these scammers is the bank accounts, if everone would publish they accounts they have paid in to we could move quickly to freeze them. I and two other persons with me are also taking "other" actions.. I cannot tell you at this stage what they are as it may compromise these actions. If anyone wants join our small group, please write a private message to me via this website.[/QUOTE]

Hi, you wrote you've been able to freeze accounts and shared standard Mareva letters... would you please be able to share one with me that can be sent to several banks around the world - which were part of a boiler room scam on me? I tried doing a TT reversal from the bank, but as expected, the funds request reversals were all declined.

Oh and should the Marevas be physically sent to banks fraud departments, or legal dept' or where exactly?

Thank you
Alex.
