Always ask for there company lawyer and accountant information,B Rooms are 99% of the time using Administration Services offered by Lawyers,where the Lawyer signs of on the bank account.
Using front men and false docs is standard,and some of there salesmen are real good,the sure way is ask to speak to a manager and ask the manger for there Lawyer and Accountant information,that should get rid of them,if they give it to you,call the Lawyer and accountant and tell them what services are being offered to you by the company and ask how long have you been doing business with this company,ask them where are they based in what location and have you visitted them at there offices.
Also,ask for the salemans direct line,80% of the time its a answearing service,the B room usees this method,to forward there calls to the diffirent country there opperating in.And the saleman never answear the phone directly.
The more advanced B rooms have the call swithced,when it rings to any country in the world,theres loads of these types of companys offering these services,its answered directly by the scammer,if there number is in the UK,USA,and other western countrys ,your private detective will be able to find out who the telephone number belongs to,and to what country there really forwarding the call to,they say there in Zurich but then why are there calls being forwarded to Bangkok,more than likely the calls are being forwared to pay as go mobiles and internet phones that have the IP spoofed,so unless you know a freidly Mi5 agent who could trace the pay as go mobile ot track down the ip to the exact location then your not going to find out ,but at least you have proved that there not where they say they are.
The main places around the world for B rooms are ,Philiphines(alot),south africa(a large increase opening shop),Spain(by May 06 the mains ones will move,new european law,most B room operators keep up to date with the law)Holland(same as spain there leaving in May)Thailand(not so much these days),indonesia and Malyasia have there smaller operations.
Im writting a book at the moment,i have interviewd three ex boiler room owners,two current and lots of ex salesman and salesman.
Also i have over forty interviews from investors that have been scamed,going back to 1999,when Bangkok was capital of the world for Boiler rooms.
Five years ago all the focus was on Austraila,that changed when ASIC clamped down very heavy and made offical government complaints,the FSA in the UK have known the UK was and is being called from over 100 boiler rooms everyday,but they do NOTHING,they could stop this next week if they wanted to,but i have come to the conclusion that the FSA want you to get scammed so that you learn your lesson and just invest onshore in the UK or theres some very secret government agencys that get a small cut for there black opps abroad from this,they take there cut for protecting the B room and smoothing the process in these third world countrys,only two years ago there was a B room in lao that had over two hundred saleman there,someone had to be protecting them from the western side.
The book is about three to four months away from being complete,from the birth of the boiler room up to now.
( dear government hitman just so i don´t have an accident,i will not be publishing any details about government agencys funding there black operations with boiler room cash,i just had to get it of my chest,just this once,i will never mention it again in a public forum)
