Shares Scam
- 2 June 2011 03:42108581Fahim Khan, 36, originally of Manchester, was arrested with 16 other suspects, 14 of them British, at a telesales office in Palma, Mallorca.
During a breakthrough joint raid by Spanish and City of London police, officers found a "suckers list" of over 2,000 UK names. Typically, victims pay more than the odds for shares that are worth next to nothing - if they exist at all.
It is believed the gang netted £8 million!!!
Here's the list of company shares they were selling:
Dyno Medical
Inca Pacific Gold and Mining
Viking Gold Resources
Everoffice SL
Bio Generation Ltd
Inca Pacific Ltd
B G Finance Ltd
IPGM Ltd
Darrer Nandin Operations Ltd
Cartwright Group
If you've bought any of these shares, please contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 20 40 or visit www.action fraud.org.uk.Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 2 June 2011 06:48108588Beware there are a lot of scammers like this.
Sometimes they spend quite some time with their cold-calls each time coming away with a little snippet of personal information. All very friendly and legitimate sounding. Eventually, months or in one case even over a year later, they are calling asking about your sick grandmother or pet dog, discussing the results of your favourite football team etc. This way they gain trust. Eventually they present a particulary 'hot' opportunity, people decide to give these 'nice' people a chance and your money is gone.....
I know of one such company operating out of Florida fortunately one of their victims was quick off the mark and got them arrested. The 'sting' backfired. - Keith Sansum1
