Boiler Room Scams

Re: Boiler Room Scams - Crown Capital Management

Hi ,

Based on your suggestion, I already contacted my bank with the request for the procedure on a money recall on the basis of Boiler Room Fraud

Thanks again for your suggestion

Perhaps you care to let us know of the outcome !
I am sure other investors would like to know what to do.
 
Too many companies registered at 100 New Bond Street, Mayfair, London W1S 1SP
Too many companies offer Virtual Offices at 34 Lime Street, London, EC3M 7AT
Draw your own conclusions !

Too true. Most of these 'Alternative Asset' companies love to use the old 'impressive office' trick, which is why so many are all in the City - Mayfair - Belgravia, those sorts of places. Yet most use virtual offices, the room full of salesmen reading from prepared scripts work is located in somewhere a lot cheaper, perhaps Hounslow.

Fopr anyone interested in investing in unregulated alternative assets via a company that cold calls you wanting to first send you a brochure on what they do (the broichure will look very professional, have lots of glossy pictures and second hand facts, but VERY little real information about the company in question, but it will tell you how 'professional' the firm is and how much they 'care' about their clients :) ) , do yourself a big favour, go get a coffee or a cold one and spend 30 mins reading EVERY post on this site related to investments.

Do that and, assuming you have half a brain at least, I think you'll realise just what's going on with these companies -

Hi Ainka, I believe I've been scammed by Direct Alliance Management. I've transferred some founds back in Jan. I'm still in touch with them, in fact I've spoken with them today. Can you please let me know if there is anything I can do to try to recover my money? Thanks

Jakarta 12190, Indonesia
Tel: +62-21-252-5733
Tel: +62-21-2555-5969

Website : Registered 03Jul03 (most probably taken over an expired one)
Expires 03Jul13 (unless extended)

Not registered in Indonesia thus not authorised to conduct any financial business.
Crown Capital Management connects to : Fisher Capital, Ackerman & Co, and Trent Consultants.

In the event you have invested money with them instruct your Bank to do a “money recall” on the grounds of “BOILER ROOM FRAUD”.
Do not let your Bank tell you it cannot be done for it can be done and has been done.

Where is the connection with the 3 companies you mentioned above and Crowne? Any connection between Asia Global Energy which they were peddling and also now it would appear it is now called Asia Power Solutions.
 
Watch out for this lowlife scum -

World Capital Consultants

World Capital Consultants

They'll call offering bluechip US shares at a reduced price but it's all a lie, they only want to do one thing - STEAL YOUR MONEY.

I'll make a more detailed post on their MO later today.

In the meantime, if they call you, please realise you're dealing with THIEVES and EVERYTHING they tell you is a lie.

My bank has confirmed that they can put in a request for money recall. Nevertheless it remains subject to acceptance of the one who received the money.

I'm not sure if these guys use many bank accounts, but if all investors who (feel) cheated put in money recall request, the receiving bank might get worried and act maybe a bit more careful before dealing with these kind of individuals.

In my case they used BII and account name was 'Transfer Agents Int'l

Go into his office, say you've got a load of contacts in the English Defence League , produce a shotgun, stick it in his face and tell him he has 30 seconds to transfer the money with interest into your swiss bank account. The police will take at least 20 mins to get there if their record this week is anything to go by so you should be clean away by the time they respond.:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

Except of course he's probably 2000 miles away from his fake office address.
 
I've been sent a letter about a wealth management company soon after I bought some shares - I think that someone monitors share transactions and targets people who have bought x amount.

There's a good lesson for everyone.

You'll be called by a firm, say Global Advisors Inc or Morgan Merril Partnes (all fake of course)

BUT

You'll be asked to pay money NOT to the name of the (fake) firm, but a different one like the above 'Transfer Agents Int'.

If this happens to you, you WILL lose your money as you're talking to a bunch of real scum and thieves.

Of course you'll be given all sorts of plausible excuses why this is so, one excuse the scammers are using now is to call the different account an SPV (special purpose Vehicle' and it's all to do with saving tax and regulation, some such lie.

Please learn every, please realise that if a 'broker' cold calls you with an easy money making idea, they're REAL SCUM, however believable they sound.

You'll notice that several posts by Peter Pan have either been deleted or edited. I received a formal complaint, providing sufficient evidence to refute many if the claims being made here.

There was no evidence provided within this thread to substantiate what was being said. If hard evidence, backed up by public domain facts is available in cases like these then we can be far more robust in our approach to keeping them.

As it is they would fail the most basic of legal tests.

Where I have edited I have tried to leave the rest of the post in a sensible state.

I've read this thread as well as others covering the US citizens Paul Richard Bell and John Guchone. What's been stated here (T2W forum) is mostly on spot and factually easy to proof. There is a lot to be said about these two gentlemen, their involvement in investment fraud scams can be reconfirmed through court records, company registration data, witness statements, transaction data, etc.

The City of London Police (Operation Archway) raided a hotel in London during the summer (2008) to arrest these two people for valid reasons.
 
OK, here’s some more details on this real bunch of lowlife scum scammers –

They call themselves World Capital Consultants but that’s a fake name.

World Capital Consultants

They operate out of Hong Kong but that’s probably a lie. My bet is they work out of Bangkok or some similar place where a lot of the Boiler Room scammers base themselves.

These are the names of some of the scummy thieves working there although they won’t mean much as they will be fake names.

Alan Murphy (British accent)

Harry Grant (British accent)

Anna Colin (non British accent)

They label themselves as ‘portfolio specialists’. I label them as nasty pieces of scum, and that’s being nice.

You see, these people will happily steal the life savings off an old age pensioner, that’s how truly horrendous these people are. In effect they will ruin the later lives of many people they steal from.

They’ll make out that the fake deals they offer are going quick, so you’ve got to hurry up and do business with them. Pure lies.

The deal they offer will be some US blue chip stock like Qualcomm. If the price of the stock is now at $64, they’ll offer it to you at say $60 which if you think about it is akin to a stranger calling you up and offering you a free $4 x the number of shares. Has that ever happened to you before? Not me, so right there you know they’re lying scum.

Of course the above will be due to some clever deal they just happen to know about but whatever way they try to spin it, it’s all lies.

The group of Boiler Room scum likes to offer a ‘welcome deal’! They’ll say they want you as a long term client which is why they’re being so generous. The cheap price of the shares is due to them being ‘institutional investors’, another lie.

Now, if one falls for their scam you’ll be given a Hong Kong bank account to pay money into and as I’ve said 101 times IT WON’T BE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY THAT CALLS YOU. The scammers will say this is because they’re ‘so good’ at trading stocks competitor companies are trying to copy their every move so they have to use a SPV (special purpose vehicle) to hide their tracks, hence a different bank account name to World Capital Consultants. This is a trick used by ALL the boiler room filth so please understand this critical point.

These are a couple of numbers they use for calling –

+442035146768
+85258084572

As for their bank account name it’s

Bank of China, Hong Kong.
Account holder name: UNI CONCORD LIMITED
Account number: 012-875-9-264247-6
Account holder address: 4210 OFFICE TOWER CONVENTION PLAZA 1 HARBOUR RD WAN CHAI HK Hong Kong

This Boiler Rooms, and this one is no different, love to try and convince their customers that they’ve been in business a long while. This load of conmen (and women) say since 1997 but their crappy website was first registered in 2010. One has to ask why it’s taken 13 years to register the name. I know why, you probably know why, but as ever the scammers, if asked, will likely have an excuse. Well, whatever they tell you is not an excuse, it’s a lie.

I hope this information has helped some readers and even if this bunch of scum don’t call you please take note because ALL the Boiler Rooms operate in this fashion, only the names change, not the tactics.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If anyone from Worldwide Capital Consultants is reading this please do me a favour, go look in the mirror. See your smirking face, well that’s what REAL SCUM looks like. That’s the face of somebody who due to their own greed will quite happily steal the live savings off an elderly man or women and will effectively ruin the last days of their lives. And in some cases that elderly person you stole off will take their own life or perhaps freeze to death in the winter because they can’t afford to heat their home.

Like I said, YOU ARE REAL SCUM.
 
Boiler Room: Sentinel Equity Tokyo

Was cold-called first by an (Indian) market Research Company asking whether I have a general interest in Investment. Probably they are scanning company-owner registries in Europe.
Played along, and 3 weeks later Christopher Watts (with heavy Indian Accent!) from Sentinelequity - Home in Tokyo called. Usual boilerroom blabla.
But..I got the bank Details:
Wiltshire Holdings Group Limited
Eastern Commercial Centre, 397 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong
078-262-870-838
HSBCHKHHHKH

Reported to HSBC compliance dept about this fraud and assume the account is already closed. We will probably never find the callers, but the weak spot in this fraud remains the bank account!

greets,
William
 
Yes Will, the weak spot is always the bank account.

If anyone wants to mess with the boiler room scum, play along, play dumb in order to get the account name and number then report it to the Police in the bank account country, Action Fraud in the UK Action Fraud | Report fraud and internet crime and if you can the Compliance Department of the Bank.

The best thing to happen is the account gets frozen and the stolen money gets repaid, the next best thing is the scammers lose an account so more work for them.

Finally, another good example of how the firm that calls you WON'T be the firm you're asked to pay money to.

In the case above the firm calling is Sentinel Equity yet the money has to be paid to Wiltshire Holdings Group Limited. Sure, the scammers will have some excuse for this discrepency, perhaps they'll say it's for tax purposes etc, but whatever they tell you is a guaranteed lie.

PS. I still think some of the bankers in Hong Kong must be on the take with these Boiler Rooms, so many accounts seem to be located there. The scamers have to be paying somebody off.

Hi all, I live in the U.K. Am seeking again (posted similar enquiry late last year) anyone who may be able to provide information or assistance about the characters who were (supposedly New York-based) Charles Pearson Investments International (including Peter Conran and Frank Marshall etc) and the companies Solamon Energy Corp and Blackhawk Mines Corp (previously Eldora Gold Resources). All my capital went to the investments arranged by that 'unauthorised brokerage' (there are other names I could use to describe them) . . a very large sum with which I could have, for instance, bought a substantial property. Instead I have 4 'certificates' which are not even share certificates but Depository receipts ( I am presently trying to ascertain if I can obtain actual share certificates for what they may be worth, if anything). Does anyone know anything about these characters (all Englishmen I believe) their whereabouts then, 2011 to Oct/Nov 2012 when their website etc vanished? Can anyone offer me advice on any opportunity I may have to retrieve my money?
I am now broke and with rising debts and with little or no hope of better prospects.
The authorities say they are investigating my and other victims' cases (which are linked to mine) but many months have passed and no progress nor developments have been relayed to me.
 
Morgan financial advisors..Peter Carlsen Ben Jackson James White Benoit Mercier..still on the loose..information about these fraudsters....reply if you have any update.

Whatever you do don't spend any money on trying to get share certificates, you either don't own the shares or if you do they are worthless. This isn't some 'bad investment' that you can get out of, criminals stole your money, I would have thought the chances were very slim of ever getting it back.
