Its a scam, its the usual part two of any boiler room scam. The intention is to get your advance fee and then disappear with it. This sort of thing happens all the time and every case I have ever heard of ends up with people losing their money.
Can you give us more details, I cant find them on google with the information you provided.
Yeah I think its a scam too. the company is www.silverstonema.com is it even possible to get out of S/144 restrictions.
Chrisman,
Its the same old story, website was created in July 2010, registration details are hidden from view, photographs on their website are just downloaded from a free site.
Remember you will be getting plenty of other calls about these shares, these guys know you fell for it once and they will try to get as much money out of you as they can.

Thanks for the info least it lets everyone else know I can rest easy now. I don't even know if I have shares in Animal inc that looks like a bogus site too. www.animalincorporated.com. I wont be talking to silverstonema any more.
It seems animal Inc have issued a warning about this. The strange thing is that the warning seems to infer that their shares are not yet traded publicly. Were your shares supposed to be pre IPO?

Hi, Firstly can I thank you for the time and effort you have spent on my behalf I am really grateful.
The warring on the website has been there for two years that I know of from the last time I was approached. It doesn't seem to get up dated. I bought shares in a company years ago and they were taken over and the name changed and I was never told what too. I just gave up and put it down to experience. Then two years ago I started getting phone calls saying I was listed as having shares in this company but I sent them a e-mail and had no reply. Gave up again. Then Silver stone ma contacted me the funny thing was when I spoke to Silver stone ma I told them I had moved address but they said it doesn't matter but I would have thought that was important. I would just like to know if I do have any shares or not for sure.

It's a familiar story, in fact there is a very similar story in the link below. It's standard practice for them to try to get more money out of you in this way. There's probably a hundred similar stories in the boiler room scam thread here on T2W. Needless to say once they have your money they will disappear.

Hi, I have also been approached by a company to buy my shares in Animal Inc. they also say I have to pay a transfer agent to lift a restriction currently on my shares. Is this another Scam? The firm arranging this supposed sale is Meister Ventures, would appreciate any feed back . Thanking you, Ron.

Hi Ron, looks like you need to start digging. Trust no one who cold calls you. If you have a physical brokers office where you live, go see them for advice.

Scammers like to sound credible, don't be fooled into thinking you are dealing with a reputable sounding outfit.

There are clues in the above link. Look how they spell Strategy
To sound credible they probably borrowed the Meister name, link below.

Do not part with any money to anyone until you have done full due diligence.
Finally, look how many web pages use this image.
