Actually I thought I remembered something about Fisher Capital Management, they were actually linked to Strathclyde Associates here http://twitter.com/sharescams but the original website is now down. That would make sense with them both selling GreenCell Technologies.

yes it is funny how these companies all have very similar looking websites...Trent Consultants, Strathclyde and Shaw Capital. When I next speak to my "friends" at Fisher Capital I must commend their web page designer for lack of imagination.
Just found this site while looking for Legatus Consulting Ltd (no address given). I was cold called by "Richard Dunbar", the only name coming up when googled is that he is fund manager for Scottish Widows UK Equity Income account (I don't think so). Received a purchase contract for North Thunder Bay Mining shares asking for a transfer to Deutsche Bank in Hamburg. They are phoning every day to ask when the funds will be transfered. "Andrew Taylor" rang today to try a bit harder sell. Now calling themselves Houston Research in Texas. Still trying to get any contact details, but these are scammers and thieves.
The name will be fake for sure, ask them are they FSA regulated, that should get rid of them.
Probing, drop an email to Operation Archway, the Police unit looking into boiler rooms and give them all the details including the bank account numbers etc. As I've always said that banks are their weak links because without an account no scamming can happen.

Victim of foxglobal.biz, these organization claims to operate from tokoyo with bank account in Liechtenstein. After website suspended - they claim merger with thomas moore.
Idiots: Mike Stevens, James Appleby, Mark Tan, Steve Macnnon, etc. They can use any name they want. BEAWARE... they claims to do institutional trading, and the shares they deals with are all good shares listed in the US market, but in fact there is no dealing at all. They do not owns the shares, as they go missing the minute the share got de-listed after acquisition. the recent case of dynacorp is a classic example.

Re: Stratton Wainwright Advisory, Bio Defense
Not sure if anyone's posted, but I've found two links of interest here from the FSA in the UK
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1309016/FSA-launches-BioDefense-shares-probe.html
http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/consumerinformation/firmnews/2009/warning_mb_associates.shtml
Just in case anyone wasnt sure that this was a 100% scam...despite what "bigbrains" aka Brett Hamburger (Colombo crime family, convicted for fraud, etc) has to say about it...

Anley,Thanks for this advice. I have also informed the FSA on their online fraud form at:

Re: Stratton Wainwright Advisory, Bio Defense
Yes I believe that information was posted some months ago, maybe early this year. I think that after it was posted bigbrains was threatening legal action, of course we never heard another word about it, what an idiot.
Tell us more about Bigbrains/Hamburger.

That's new, I knew about Lord Guthrie being an 'advisor' as well as some ex FBI guys.
My only hope is that they were all paid in shares.

Hi,
I am a part of a prop firm and actually represent a group of traders.
I like to read what people say about prop firm (bad or good) and actually understand how we could offer a better service.
I know that there is a lot of firms out there promising that they will make you rich with their training or recipes for success, charging you exorbitant fees and that maybe most of them are a scam but at some point, individual traders need stop and think about it.
If there were any kind of magical formulas for trading, do you really think that people will waste their time in recruiting traders and ask them to put money down. They would trade their magical recipes, recruit people to trade their own money ( you probably heard of hedge founds or prop desk at banks
).Nothing is more important that experience and that is my next point, prop firms are just here to give you access to the trading business and that is why you give them commission, nothing else.
The rest, paying for a training or coaching or whatever else they can come up with is really up to you and the confidence you have in your group.
Trading is a business, it takes time, capital, commitment and there is no shortcut. You should wonder why brokers online are faring better than traditional brokers with the retail investors and apply this thinking to active trading. They offer an access to the market for a fare price, free information and the rest is really up to you.
Thanks to tell me what you think about that.
Yes indeed , Droyston : very important to keep updating but how many 'hits' would T2W
get of 'the scammed', the 'potential victim' searching for the SCAMMERS ? I have been
at this now for nearly ten years hunting down the rogues and it seems to me that it
would take a lot of regular advertising on ALL the media - including this forum to
keep on warning investors of the dangers of those 'boiler room' louts who come in
the form of Attorneys , Lawyers, Escrows and Pseudo High Street 'Stockbrokers', pseudo
analysts etc etc . It takes the utmost vigilance. It is a Global issue - just google
Jerome Hertzberg, Hong Kong, Philip T Powers, Handler Thayer,Chicago
, SEC v Benger et al, FOX HAYES , UK. Paul Gunter,U K & Florida, Jeffrey
Revell Reade,(Oz & UK) David Rycott,(UK) Jack Flader California & Hong Kong, Greg
Scott Rullo, Info Field Investment , Frankfurt, Berlin & Hong Kong -
outfits in Spain & Gibralter . Steve Griggs, Pacific Continental Securities. UK & other
addresses ! : If this is not enough to give potential VICTIMS a flavour of the trouble
they can bring on themselves then I may give up ! ! Maybe ? Not before I drive them
to an early grave !
Cant find anything on Woodbridge Business Corp but the other two are mentioned below. You can be 100% certain that anyone who cold calls you about shares is a scammer.

I have some great fun when these guys phone up.
Having spent most of my life in sales I know all the tricks in the book(but never use hard sell tatics myself I like to sleep at night) and would never buy of these guys no matter what they said.
On several occasions I have actually got them to hang up on me!!!! when I started giving them feedback on their selling technique.

Just wanted to post a link to this thread about a fake body called the FEDERAL SECURITIES AND INVESTMENTS REGULATORY COMMISION
No doubt boiler rooms will be using this to show they are regulated or registered.

Re: Stratton Wainwright Advisory, Bio Defense
Obviously this is board is monitored, as the prop posting had nothing to do with the subject. So I want to revisit this subject. Look at the time difference of posting and the content looks copy and pasted.
The scammeres obviously had anticipated on catching more fish before the Stratton Wainwright Advisory, Bio Defense warnings came out. They must have put a lot of worldwide effort into this one and don't want to see it end this quick.

The SEC has published the following list of fake regulators that were presumably being used by boiler rooms to appear legit.
http://www.sec.gov/investor/oiepauselistfake.htm
Public Alert: Unregistered Soliciting Entities (PAUSE)
List of Fictitious Governmental Agencies and International Organizations Associated with Soliciting Entities
The SEC receives complaints from investors and others, including foreign securities regulators, about securities solicitations made by entities claiming to offer investments endorsed, approved, or otherwise supported by governmental agencies, including the SEC, or international organizations. As reflected in the SEC's investor alert entitled, "Fake Seals and Phony Numbers: How Fraudsters Try to Look Legit," the SEC does not "approve" or "endorse" any particular securities, issuers, products, services, professional credentials, firms, or individuals, and does not allow private entities to use its government seal. Here is the link to the SEC investor alert: http://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/fakeseals.htm
The SEC has looked into these complaints and has learned that in many cases, the governmental agencies or international organizations claimed to have lent support to such investments do not exist. In an effort to warn the public about these entities, the SEC is posting the list below. The SEC will regularly update this list.
You should be aware that this list does not include all fictitious governmental agencies and international organizations. Also, you should understand that the inclusion of a name on this list does not mean that the SEC has concluded that a violation of the US securities laws has occurred or that the SEC has made any judgment about the merits of the securities being offered.
For a list of entities claiming to be registered, licensed and/or located in the United States and that have been the subject of investor complaints [click here] to access PAUSE. To see the official SEC release describing and providing more details about this list, [click here].
If you have information, questions or comments about the entities on this list, please contact [email protected] or call 202-551-6551 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting**************202-551-6551******end_of_the_skype_highlighting.
