I was contacted by a company that I am certain is a boiler room - Sterling and Bond. They are based in Dubai like myself.
After they send me their sales brochure I googled some of the companies listed. the investment is in VOIP minutes (is this a thing??) via a company called
www.voiptelinternational.ru - website created on 8th may 2014 according to whois.
you can see for yourself the claims made by people on pissedconsumer and motley fool.
I noticed ther business was looked after by red leaf business services. these are uk based with a man called Victor Falade as the director. if you follow this link
http://cleancarbon.us/blog/danger-green-investment-from-capital-carbon-credits-mirror-co-uk-blog/ you can see he is a former employee of capital alternatives.
google some more on his name and you get this link -
http://www.safeconcerts.com/forum/threads.asp?forum_urn=124&t_urn=37225&pgt=4 and it links him to a lady called Diane Szalay who's name is repeatedly associated with capital alternatives.
Szalay Dubai leads you to a man called Gabor Szalay who seemingly, according to various internet opinions, ran Capital Alternatives as well as Provident Real Estate. His linkedon account
http://ae.linkedin.com/pub/gabor-szalay/13/74/575 mentions a company he directs that does "alternative investments".
Another guy called Steve Graham is also mentioned alongside Gabor Szalay
http://cag-brokers.pissedconsumer.c...n-credits-and-diamounds-20131124459580/3.html - he was former AGT... perhaps that's where they got our numbers from?
I know I am speculating but Capital Alternatives no longer exists in Dubai (as far as I know), nor the UK. However one of their minions runs the back office for Sterling and Bond?
I'd rather invest my money betting that Sterling and Bond is Capital Alternatives by another name than invest into any of their schemes...
