Thread: Very Interesting NEW Private Placement Fund.........

Interesting,

Yes, everyone should do their own DD before proceeding in any program, even no cost ones like this. So far, whois checks out, address checks out, phne checks out, George Davies name shows no negatives on extensive background check, so as soon as I am done with my DD, we can all compare notes. I too don't trust anything without personal research, and just as I found nothing in Bryan's background before PureInvestor, then I make my decisions as everyone should.

Good luck to all, Mike

Thanks Mike, was just after your take on the situation.

Cheers

Interesting,

I didn't bother posting it as there was nothing unusual found, I had the address verified, and it is office building with varied businesses, nothing unusual, and George Davies does not come up as a scammer, nothing comes up, nor do any scams from same location. Of course, offshore servers can accomodate hundreds of clients, and the server used here did uncover a couple suspected scams, but I cannot verify them at this point, but only stated from one of the unnamed unqualified hell bent scam board forums. Still checking it all out, as I would advise all to do.

Never know these days, just when you think you see it all, another new twist comes to the table. As this unfolds, the mystery will be known by all, so keep posting if you find anything that can be substantiated. If enough us dig, we will all be better off. Since it is a shot in the dark, not a long term deal, it would be difficult to know if it is a scam, but if there are any costs involved, then that would be the trigger for me. We shall see. (g)

Good luck to all, Mike

I got on, but slower than PIPS in the old days, and that was torture as we all know what Malysian servers are like. LOL

Good luck to all, Mike

Hey All

Just about another 1000+ members and then there will be 5000!
Then we will see what happens...I would like to know if we get to know who the traders they are going to work with and more about GTC BEFORE we send them personal information?

I signed up for it yesterday although my husband believed from the start that it's a scam and refused to let me sponsor him. But he urged me to at least set up a brandnew email address just for this program, so I can easily delete it if it shows later on that they were just trying to harvest new email addresses for SPAM. I hope there will be more info before we have to sign something.

Yes, I use throw away emails for everything these days, but with so much spam, there is little you can do to block it all.

Good luck to all, Mike

Hi, fwiw,
I forwarded this info to someone I pretty rely on and...
He informed me that he has been warned against it as there are several alarming issues about it. They will use your name to create a bank account and a trading account. One scenario (worst case he guesses) is that they will use that account with $200K to obtain a loan, then cash out and leave you with the debt ... :(.
He has joined himself but will be very, very careful what he sends to them in order not to get in trouble being accused of money laundering etc.
He finds it strange that the "customor" will agree to a solution where he only gets a 5% profit, when he could get a lot more by either investing somewhere else OR even better spend the necessary funds (far less than $24K per entity) to create a series of completely legal offshore entities and let these be participants in the venture.
The more he thinks about it, he gets convinced that this IS an attempt of illegal money laundering or a plain and simple scam to get hold of a lot of peoples identity... and imagine what that could be used for...
As I haven't any significant experience in these matters myself, I can not add much more. But I hope it's of some use anyway...
Take care,
Hasse
