Two years ago , I was approached by this company called Turner Matheson .
(at that time the website was all nice and impressive) .
They said that they were a Canadian Based Security House and had a branch office in Macau and they got my name from the Chamber of Commerce .
As ignorant as I was , I was coaxed into signing up with them and invested on three companies ; one at a time .
As weeks past , different guys would call me and introduced themselves as the person who would be in charge of my account and the final guy was called John Carter .
About a month after each transection , I would receive a call and was told that the prices of shares I invested was dropping and it would be good to sell and cut lost ...and put the money into another company which they thought was good .
Eventually , I was recommended to put all into Andromeda Media
Capital Corporation Ltd. (OTCBB:ADMPF.PK ) ; 21,000 shares @ US$5.00/shares .
(until October 2004 , I was able to see the price of ADMPF.PK at US$5/per on Yahoo Finance site...but not anymore - very upsetting news)
Turner Matheson said that this company would be listed and the price of shares would go up . I waited and waited ....
till one day in October , when I suddenly received a letter from Turner Matheson , saying that they could no longer service my account and they recommended New World Financial Inc. They said that New World Financial Inc. would be able to help me in liquidating my Andromeda Shares and other financial services. They also sent me two Green looking certificates, with the name of Andromeda and the no. of my shares written on them .
Although I was shocked , I had no other choice but to contact New World Financial Inc. Spoke a a guy called Harrison , who said that he would be my financial advisor . Forms were sent to me , details were taken . He told me to send my certificates to Huntleigh Securities , to deposit them into my own 'bank' account. (this was in November 2004) .
I told Harrison that New World Financial has to help me in selling my Andromeda Shares , but i was told to wait , as they do not know or have any market for it . They said they will 'TRY' , but no promise .
Meanwhile , Harrison recommended me to inject money into GCI General Components , which the price of the share was at US$1.80.
True , from the webpage of General Component , they look cool and quite convincing , but I told Harrison that I wont have the funds , unless he sold my Andromeda shares .
All went silent for few months and suddenly on Monday (14 March 2005) , a guy called Nick Start called and said that he is the new financial advisor who was handed the job from Harrison , because he was too busy at the moment .
Nick Start sounded cool and spoke very fluently and professionally . He talked to me in a VERY FRIENDLY AND POLITE manner for LONG TIME over international calls (do all financial advisors in this world speak in this manner to individual private clients ? ) [Harrison did the same too - many calls and persistently ]
Nick recommended General Components shares again. He said that the price is now at US$2.25. If i were to invest now , he is able to sell me at US$2/share .
At the same time , he strongly recommended one Australian Company called Advance Medical Institute . He said that this company will be listed on NASDAQ in one or two weeks time . Their listing price will start from US$1.50 / share , but he could sell me at US$1.25/share (without 2% commission)
Now , I have looked into the website of Advance Medical Institute and the 1st impression was ; this website looks to me like one who has just signed up as an affiliated member in a pyramid business , trying to sell a product .
My 1st question to Nick after seeing the site was - 'Where is the company's address and real time contact nos. - Tel & Fax ? '
Both Harrison and Nick said that if there is any money involved , it will be myself sending or depositing into my own 'bank' account at Huntleigh Securities .
I have doubts , but I cant find the real answers to all the questions ; e.g. Are they Real ? Is Huntleigh Security really a Bank too ? Is my Bank Account real ? etc etc .
Except the website of General Components , which looks COOL & CONVINCING , the rest , including New WOrld Financial Inc and Huntleigh Securities look amatuer to me . Even my own accounts which I log in (funny thing is , Harrison and Nick have all my ID names and passwords to access my portfolio ??!? which means there is no security and confidentiality at all ?)
Nick Start gave me his contact as
Nick Start
Foreign Associate
Crd 4887819
Tel: +34 952 860256
Fax: +34 952 772379
I am scared and worried that I start to check on everything I can find on the net . I have even check on Network Solution for WHOIS (domain name) ...and all the registrations seems abit funny ; e.g. date of registrations and etc.
However I am not definite on what I find . How can I be sure that they are ALL real and not frauds ?
How can I check and be sure that I was not conned from the start ?
 
If I was conned , what can I do now ? Can I file a report with the police ?
If anyone of you who has the same experience to share or any good advices , please reply and comment.
While surfing the net for informations, I found FORUM (this message board) .
