Smart Technology Inc

If you look through this thread you'll find the website address of the SEC. The Smart Technology listing there will show you the current, and expected, stati of the company. I haven't looked lately, but there are several comments in the trend of 'We do not expect to make any money soon, if ever'.

The 'company' that tried to sell me shares in Smart Tech, Wellington Duke and Associates, has been listed by the FSA as a scam. I presume that any so-called advisory group doing the same is also a scam. They may consider buying the shares back at a loss (to you), but I sincerely doubt it. Where did your money go? If you enter the receiving account holder's name into a search engine, there's a good chance you'll be referred to this forum thread. That's how I got here, just before I was about to buy the shares. I was lucky!

Short of a miraculous float of Smart Tech., I can't imagine any way of tracing your funds and getting them back. I hope I'm wrong. Good Luck.

Smart Technologies was the original name the company was registered as, at the SEC. It was changed sometime later. The last entry in the SEC listing for Smart Tech. was registered on 25 October 2007, and was a Request for Registration Withdrawal. So Smart Tech is no longer registered with the SEC. Irisio seems to be the new owner of Smart Tech, or is it the other way round?

It's all very complicated and, well, smelly

I have made several attempts to make contact with the company officials but it was always the same...the company will be listed soon! The problem is that the company is not willing to share its annual accounts with its shareholders as it says that being a private company it is not obliged to file these. As far as I know most countries in Europe oblige companies registered in their jurisdiction to file annual accounts, even if these are in abridged format. Had this been the case, at least one would be in a position to assess the financial position of the company. The key issue prior to seeking recovery of funds and/or compensation is the financial strength of the company who will pay. If fraud is proven, which is not an easy task in this case I presume, the directors of the company may be liable....but then would they leave their personal funds easily traceable!

A person who I am thinking that may help is Dr Paul Morjanoff. I suggest you contact him. I know he is involved, on behalf of victims, in the recovery of funds in relation to other big boiler room scams. You will not be obliged to pay an upfront fee but obviously his commission rate would be higher if there is a recovery of funds. He may be contacted at register@infrcs.com and see what he tells you.

I bought 1000 shares and had to wait for 3 months before they arrived after 4 phone calls to Zurich. I wanted to sell on the most recent launch, which for the fourth time was postponed but was told in the meantime to return my certificate to Zurich

I too was offered shares in ATI, i did not invest
However ATI petroleum has launched onto the Euro Next, THE LINK IS BELOW:
Euronext - ATI PETROLEUM : Share price Stock price Quotes information

This company did delist however there was a huge gain if you got out at the right time

latest news :

I called the French branch , someone answer the phone . After sometime in talking , he told me that the company may go public in euronext by the end of year 2008 . This is what I know .

By the way : Why do not we hire a famous laywer in U.S to sue the company and the fu/cker guys there like Jean M Gal .

I think if we stay together with one laywer , this will cost each one of us a few money and it may make the process goes faster .

If anyone didn't know, the latest brokers that are selling Irisio shares are Eurozone. They have a London telephone number.

If you have been contacted by them, do not invest.

They are telling new victims that they are floating in July 2008. Always the case.
