Boiler Room Scams

Gold

This thread does a very good job and stopping a lot of people lose money to the boiler room scum.

It's well up in Google and so anyone that types in a name has a good chance of stopping by here.

The trouble is with informing an 'Investors Association' is that is there one? And if there is has anyone heard from it? And would a potential mark bother to check beforehand?

The only way to stop them is from proper government action but this is not going to happen in the UK. It has though in the US which is why the scammers hardly ever contact US citizens as they know if they do there's a good chance that the full power of the US government coming after them AND gettting them.

I've always said that the scammers are laughing, getting pissed, snorting coke with hookers etc at the UK government and Police. Sure, they catch one every now and then but then they get stupid sentences, 3 years, out in 1.5 is a joke.

Surely now though with the current economic mess the whole population must have woken up to the fact that YOU CANNOT TRUST ANYONE THESE DAYS WITH MONEY UNLESS THEY FIRST EARN TRUST WITH YOU.

And that counts just as much for a boiler room as it does to Natwest or Barclays who are generally only going to be too happy to (legally) stuff you up.

Anley and Gold1,
I think this is a very good site which is relatively easily accessed by anybody looking. However, I also take Gold's point that we could end up just talking amongst ourselves. Although the Associations and Authorities have so far been hopeless, I think Gold is right that we should increase the lobbying of anybody who may be able to get something done about these thieves. If we accept that nothing can be done, that's what will happen. We all have MP's, The FSA is there, even if it is pretty hopeless, Operation Archway has been set up by the City of London Police and I'm sure there are others who are in a position to get something done, so why not start to push them harder to do something. A few successes may raise awareness and that will be the best weapon to stop these b.....ds. I'm certainly going to give it a try - nothing lost.
 
Two more to watch out for:
Schroeder Wahlberg-schroederwahlberg.com
Paul Robinson, making the usual offer to handle the 'sale' of Linsure shares for a commission, which, of course has to be paid up front. Claims Linsure was sold 7 months ago. To whom? Can't say. Must have been a great purchase for somebody - assets? - cash?- employees? - product?. I'm not aware of Linsure having any of these.
Send the money to Bank of Cyprus, Account name LC Management Corp. Beneficiary Account address in Seychelles. Nice one.

Mckenzie and Partners
Mark James - Company specialises in providing a facility to sell Reg S shares but only until questioned about it. Then they don't specialize but offer a full range of 'investment' opportunities which he is keen to put forward. Sure.

Also
Anyone know of Sterling Equity? Sterling Equity - Welcome

Had a Stanley Equitable Zurich offering to deal reg S shares in July, specifically last chance saloon for Linsure & AMUC which were both to be delisted in August which did happen. Unfortunately when they delisted all the discussion boards went with them so several years of info went west.
As to Schroeder Wahlberg I bought my Linsure shares via Cyprus bank. If payment is that complex forget it!
Bassically if they call you there is only going to be 1 winner-- & you ain't it!

Your role as a partner will be to devise the necessary business plan based on your knowledge of the domestic economy in your country.

some more..

Dear Friend,

I am Barister Julius Winterfield Esq, solicitor and personal lawyer to late Mrs. Rose , a client of mine, who has a servicing firm affiliated with the Electric Authority here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire .

My client was awarded a contract worth US$12,000,000.00). Immediately this contract was signed, an initial amount of (US$6.600, 000.00) was paid to her as mobilization fee to kick off the contract. She duly completed this contract pending when her remaining balance of (US$5,400,000.00) will be paid to her. On the 18th April 2005, my client and her two kids were involved in a ghastly boat capsize at Gozac, Unfortunately all the occupants in the boat lost their lives.

Not too long after her untimely death, her outstanding balance of US$5,400,000.00 was approved and deposited in a Bank here in Cote d'Ivoire ; Right now the funds are still floating unclaimed in the suspense account of the offshore correspondence payment centre here.

I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client so that you can be paid the remaining balance of his contract funds left in the Bank. Note that I am offering you this opportunity by contacting you to assist in repatriating the fund and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or unserviceable by the Bank where this huge deposit were lodged. The National Electric Authority issued me a notice as the Attorney to the deceased to provide the Next of Kin or have the Account
confiscated in a shot period of time since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over a year that I have been searching.

I seek your concept to present you as the Next of Kin or family member to Late Client since you are at an advantage so that the proceeds of this remaining balance of her contract funds valued at (US$5,400,000.00) will be paid to
you. We shall both share the funds 50% for me while 40% for you

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this project through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of law after the transfer is done, and then you and l can share the fund.

If there is anything you do not understand please try to reach

Best personal regards,
Barister Julius Winterfield Esq,

Kenmar,
Don't worry about the Linsure info going missing. There is plenty still around so Paul Taylor, Richard Moore and the associated Talyorscum won't be able to hide for ever. Patience is a virtue.
 
Pritesh. Anley & other contributors - re posts in 2007 .

I understand that GmbH relates to Limited Liability entities : Could any one explain the duties and responsibilities of those named above and their liabilities as Directors and Senior officers towards investors under German or European Law . Where there is allegation of fraud is it legal for an Administrator for Insolvency or an Insolvency Court to adjudicate on LAUNDERING of Funds obtained from investors ?

Who says these companies are legit and GmBH? It's easy to put a fake website up, come up with a fake name and then add 'GmBH' to make it all sound more official.

Remember these people are all thieves and scammers so they lie, lie, lie - whatever it takes to steal money.

Schneider-Wolfe, kindly souls offering to help punters unload unwanted and illiquid shares. No commission or fees, only a small insurance premium (?!) required. New in the UK (big in NYC since 1987), but eager to help.

Now, please look at these links carefully.

First, S-W's very impressive (albeit fairly new, registered last month) site:

Schneider-Wolfe Alliance :LOL:

Now, the equally (tee hee) fine website of Jacob Stuart & Knight:

Jacob Stuart & Knight :: Profile :eek:

Who needs to buy expensive newspapers to enjoy spot-the-difference when you can do it for free on the internet?

You can find out more about JSK on the FSA's website. Guess which section - hint, it's not in the list of authorised firms :cool:

One of our clients was approached by S-W last week. He told them to contact us (his IFA) in future - still waiting for the call :LOL:.

Tried to tell the FSA about them today - no accusations, heavens no, but suggested that there were one or two issues that could possibly be of concern here. Might as well have told the stray cat round the back of the office :LOL:.
 
Mediterranean Gold

Been offered these shares by a cold caller from Armstrong Knight. I am pretty sure they are a scam, I can't afford to buy anyway, but thought I would post here to see if anyone knows anything.
Claims they have a gold mine in Turkey but I can find no reference to it except on their website.
claims to be part of WTS Elite Group Corporation in N California, again can't find any ref except on their site.
Several bits of their web site appear to be copied from other sources, admittedly these are technical facts and explainations but still origionality would be better.

Any comments?
