Balmoral international group

[noneedforgreed]

any updates on Balmoral? anyone else had "challenges" with them?

I thought boiler rooms specialised is selling junk stock.
The stock is doing OK, but am I correct to assume that balmoral never purchase the stock on behalf of the client?
Do they simply take the money and pocket it?

That's the same question I have, let's talk about balmoral rather than the stock, has anyone had a positive experience with then and been paid? Any evidence to support would be greatly appreciated.

jabber??

They (Balmoral/Charles Pearson) have been around for a while and could have possibly scammed thousands of people in that time.
The alarm bells are all there but no hard evidence I can find, good or bad.
Do these people take measures to clean the web?

do you mean this Charles Pearson?

http://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/charles-pearson-investments-international

if that's the same person, then I call that hard evidence.

 

[FTA]

Probably the same guy.
But if you were smart, why would you bother to even use the same name more than once?

I have no idea. you're right though, I wouldn't have thought he'd be using the same name for lot's of different scams. it really needs jabber to comment, but he doesn't appear to have been back to the boards since his last posts.

the easiest option therefore would be to ditch any notion of entering into any dealings with this outfit.

heres a good name for a company - spot the upmarket name to suck in punters

mayfair investments international - registered in Monaco

Balmoral international group is a classic "baited" name - wouldn't touch it with a bargepole even before I saw the prospectus

sorry to hear of your losses

looks like i am down USD 13000 as well... I fell for the trap.
Is there any change to recover this money or is this it???

After placing a sell order all went very quiet, no reply to email, no phone answered.

Perhaps a visit to Mekati is needed to visit our 'friend' It would be good to meet them in Philippines as it pretty lawless when the sun is down.

Lee,

Sorry to hear of your loss. There are some strong leads on these people, would be good if you can share the contact name you were dealing with and the shares, bank details of where you paid in to and on what date.

 

[Lee Tsueng]

I am afraid I can't discuss to much information on this open forum at this stage as i truly don't thrust these scammers. They will be reading the same information.

Bank in use was:
METROPOLITAN BANK AND TRUST CO
10 EAST 53RD STREET
NEW YORK, NY

Payment time was in Q1 2015

What I need is some guidance on how to get the money back.
Its hard to understand their website is still on and the names of advisers I dealt with are still on there.

These guys approached me also and after many weeks of talk and as i was about to buy stock and was being recorded i told them that i knew it was a scam and I had actually been recording their voices which i still have if anyone wants. I told them that i knew they were connected to other scammers such as Hartford and IAM and guess what a guy calling himself James Cohen from IAM was franticaly calling me as he found out i knew it was all a big sam. (he was contacting me before but i never let on that i knew it was a scam and still have many recordings of his voice) he got angry and told me to get his voice off You Tube but i wont and i want him when he is ID sent to jail.
As i have previously posted if you go onto You Tube and search for "Forex Scammer" by Floblobs you will find a recording of this **** James Cohen who must have used many names. Check it out and see if he has contacted you.

Hi

The newest broker for Balmoral is Leslie McGrath. Just hooked me....sadly....despite checking websites, looking for clues on the net....then made the trf, but my skepticism kicked in and kept double checking and tripple checking the net inbetween work, and then found a letter from the financial services board or something like that issuing a warning.
Manage to get to the back and recall the bank trf within 6 hours of making the payment. Bank says chances are pretty good I will get the money back.
The website is good...ish...if you in a hurry, then you tend to overlook stuff. But you get a login and password, can access your account, see your trade.

Despite my initial alarm bells, I got done by Balmoral for US$13k. I was contacted by broker Sean Price regarding BDSI, then 6 months later by Frank Price detailing the gains I would have made on BDSI and pitching AUXL, and then months later Charles Pearson used a similar hook.

I bought into AUXL and FWM, then needed liquidity for medical bills - that's when my stupidity became apparent.

The only satisfaction was following a graphic e-mail to Charles regarding retribution, he rang me several times swearing and making violent threats towards me and family, and referencing various international crime organizations who are coming for me. He was rattled by my words and I was pleased to get a phone call or 5. He also spluttered that I still owe for a trade that I did not approve though he sent the documentation.

What needs to happen for any reporting or action here?

sorry to hear of your issues. did you not find the Luxembourg authority warnings when conducting due diligence? maybe your investment with them was concluded before the date of the warning.

The Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) warns the public of the activities
of an entity named Balmoral International Group (websites: http://balmoralinternationalgroup.net
and http://balmoralinternationalgroup.eu) which claims to be located at Boulevard Royal,
Luxembourg 1119, L-2449 Luxembourg.
The CSSF informs the public that Balmoral International Group has not been granted the
required authorisation to offer financial services in or from Luxembourg.
