Not sure what this is all about. No audio on my PC. Just thought I'd post it here.

[whistler_man]

Oh where to begin . . The ****** Group copycats.

compensation: To be discussed
The ****** Group is already one of the most respected and revered wealth management businesses in the world and we have the potential for further significant growth. We recognise that to achieve this growth, we need to recruit and retain the very best professionals.

• Ongoing support and training

• Global opportunities 



We require: 


• Proven track record in a professional communications role 

• Experience of both face to face and telephone contact with clients.

**********************************************************************************************************************

I am an ex-employee of ****** and as such know EVERYTHING about their Structure, mis-selling, incestuous associations with the Companies they put Clients money through, the 100's of millions of money they have illegally stolen from Clients etc. I have a great amount of hard evidence and a London based and Swiss based 'Whistle-blowers', who I will use to ensure I bring down ****** and ALL associated Companies.
I ask all of those that have posted blogs on this website, whether it be as an ex-employee or a disgruntled Client to send me details of your complaint to my email address: [email protected]
I have contacts with the FSA in London and SEC in New York, and what I am looking for is as much evidence and support as I can get from the 1,000's of you out there.
Now I am retired, I am ***-bent and totally committed to bringing to justice Nigel Green and his corrupt empire.
This is by no means a solicitation for business, but if anyone is interested in understanding how to extricate themselves from ******, I can point you to people who can help you. ****** are very good at telling lies about the penalties you will incur by transferring your Investments to Regulated and honest professional Institutions, who will give you 100% accurate information and help you achieve what you wish.
I ultimately want all of you to join me so we can collectively put to rights ******, and ultimately, take legal action collectively to sue ****** and claim damages for all of you.
I appreciate all help, and will offer help in return should you wish.

HGI scam

Hi egravenb,

I've been contacted by the same people (Mr Walsh). High pressure tactics and requiring funds to be transferred within days. Did you actually receive any kind of return from these people? I've already (foolishly) committed to one trade and they're now asking me to acquire additional shares in order to ensure that the trade goes through.

Definitely avoid them like the plague.
Unfortunately I read this article only today..... unfortunately because I was kept on a leash by the two SVPs, Mr. Gold and Mr. Walsh after they talked me into their investments.
During the past 8 months I was regularly contacted by these representatives of Hartford Group International (HGI), every time with the same message of an unique opportunity and big things soon to happen. In the end I contacted the Financial Authorities in Taiwan, who confirmed that HGI is not registered in Taiwan.
They also offered to look into the matter if I could send them more information on this case. Something that is in the works while I speak.

Hi Jackell,
I have heard of an investor from South Korea who invested some USD60,000.00 with Hartford Group International back in October 2013 and still waits for his returns.

In addition and most important ;

Financial Supervisory Commission(FSA), Chinese Taipei.
warns against the activities of Hartford Group International.

Hartford Group International claims to be a brokerage firm with offices at
16 F No. 89 Songren Road, Taipei Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan.
Our records show that Hartford Group International does neither have a license in Chinese Taipei to conduct securities firm business nor have an authorization to offer investment services. Besides, Hartford Group International has not legally registered under the address mentioned above (16 F No. 89 Songren Road, Taipei Xinyi District, Taipei). The FSC thus advises the investors against responding to any offers of investment services made in the name of Hartford Group International and against transferring money to any account number they might
mention.

HGI scam

Hi Blackwatch,

Thank you so much for your quick reply. It's heartening to know that there are people like you who are willing to take the time to respond to the concerns of others. I can assure you, your advice and suggestions are very much appreciated!!

I would have been surprised to hear if anybody out there has actually received anything in return from Hartford Group International. They're now wanting me to (continue) acquiring shares in EGIC (ENERGEX Industries Corp.) for a pre-IPO (€1 share - exit at €2.80 a share). Sounds far too good to be true, and now that I know they're not even officially registered to do business in Taiwan, I'll be severing ties with them very soon.

I hope others are not duped into this scam as well!

Thanks again for the information, Blackwatch!

Hi Jackell,
Whatever you do, DO NOT PAY any money. Just cut your losses and report the matter to the Police.
Few months ago (EGIC) Energex Industries Corp was supposed to be trading in the NASDAQ – Well it was NOT and most likely has never had and not likely to do so in the future. At the time the “investment” was handled by Wentworth Worldwide Ltd claiming to have an address in Switzerland. The Swiss had never heard of Wentworth WW !
EGIC website was Registered initially for a year on 12Jan13. Registration has been extended for ONE more year, expiring on 12Jan15. In the meantime they have changed “Our Team” membership !
It is all a Boiler Room Scam, stay well clear of them.

Hi Maamies

I know the company was registered in Delaware on 20Dec12 which means they do not want to be found easily.
The company has an address in Texas but is not registered there which means they do not have a license to operate in Texas whatever it is they are doing.

I know it is not trading in the OTC Markets

I suspect the company is a front for fraudulent activities but I am also certain they are telling you otherwise.

Hartford Group International EGIC scam

Hi Blackwatch,

Thanks again for the information on Hartford Group International and their EGIC scam.
I've been in contact with the Financial Supervisory Commision in Taiwan, and they pretty much echoed what you said in your last few posts on The HGI scam.
The FSC also provided me with the links of the authorities to contact in Taiwan, just in case I wished to take things further. (Which I fully intend to do!)

Official website of National Police Agency (警政署)
http://www.npa.gov.tw/NPAGip/wSite/mp?mp=4

Criminal Investigation Bureau (刑事警察局)
http://www.cib.gov.tw/english/FAQs

I know there're a few others on here who have been contacted by HGI in recent months, so let's just hope nobody else gets stung by these people.

Thanks again for the information, Blackwatch.

Hi there
I have invested a few thousand dollars with that company in 2012. I bought blackberry shares for $10, now known as RIM and they should have gone through the roof. As they were not, I thought I am going to wait until they go up at least a little bit and when they reached $18 about 13 months later, I phoned up the company "Eureka" and told them to sell. They then told me, because I did not trade for 12 months they couldn't sell it due to companies trading policy and they offered me an other deal, where I would get my $10 for the RIM stock back, but would need to invest an other $15k or $20K for Apple shares.

Well I didn't and now I got contacted again by them to offer me a deal in those below :

International police operation targets suspected boiler room masterminds

An unprecedented international police operation across the UK and Spain, other parts of Europe and the United States has targeted suspected masterminds of boiler room operations which are believed to be responsible for millions of pounds of investment fraud.

A groundbreaking partnership between UK and Spanish law enforcement agencies has led to a total of 110 arrests after 35 warrants were executed at private addresses and in buildings where boiler room operations were allegedly being conducted.​​​​​​​​​

Suspect's own photo wearing what are believed to be high value watches on feet ​High value goods including an Aston Martin, Ferrari, Mercedes, BMW, Mustang, designer clothes, watches and cash in various denominations with a value in excess of £500,000 were also seized. (Pictured right and below)
The City of London Police, as the national policing lead for economic crime, and Policía Nacional co-ordinated strikes in Spain, England, the United States and Serbia, marking a significant step forward in a two-year investigation into men suspected of being at the peak of an extensive network of organised crime.
