Pin the donkey's asshole: Fraud at its best

The Google hits referring to my very special friends are increasing again, which makes me believe that the professional business people have ended their well-deserved summer holiday and returned to work.

What I'm gonna do now is hit the bush with the bass fiddle and see if I can stir up some grumpy hornets. Currently I know about four companies utilizing the proven fraud scheme and thus reaping obscene amounts of money.

* Okuma Group
* Dai Ichi Securities
* Sakura Financial Group
* Delta Continental

The evidence gathered by actual victims is overwhelming so that I can say without any doubt that these companies are fraudulent and no one will ever see a mere trace of his money once "invested".

Then there are several "companies" of which I am quite sure that the same butt wipes can be found behind the scene. If any reader has ever earned real money (i.e. money actually transferred to your account) with one of these companies, tell me and I will remove the name from the list. Whoever wants to see the list extended, this can be done as well. Sufficiently suspicious are:

* Ovannis Capital
* Denko Group
* Offshore Resource
* Green Energy Marketing

All of these  "companies"  acquire via cold calls (illegal in most parts of Europe) speaking English. First they offer shares of well known companies at sensational prices (no reason for hope - you can not trade them since you actualy don't even own them), only to transfer this deposit to some papers of fictitious companies, which are controlled by the fraudsters. Such sock puppet companies include:

* Guizhou Mining or
* Paragon GPS

My conclusion is this: Who ever gets called by these guys will do well claiming to be penniless or - even better - using such a botched English to use that the phone gangsters will see no way to communicate their business idea.

Please don't give those butt wipes any money!

I am of course always available for comments or questions. If you like to post a comment, I would appreciate some information about where you're from (country would be enough).

Delta Continental is busy acquiring

The more I find out, the more I'm sure it's the same guys that recently brought us Sakura, Dai-Ichi and Okuma. This brings me to some theories about the way these comrades do their business. If you dropped in right here, please don't miss my brilliant first part.

The fraud business works in overlapping seasons of six months. The freshly "founded" enterprises set out for acquisition of new victims which are baited by the usual regular stock deals and then gradually prepared for the real ripoff. This can take some months.

While the remaining victims are squeezed out until even the toughest optimists kiss their money goodbye, the next acquisition wave is launched.

This is what currently happens with our well known Sakura, Dai-Ichi and Okuma providers, They have "founded" (or rather: "invented") some new companies (presumably three as well) and are now fishing for fresh idiots.

As of today, I have positive proof of one new fraudulent enterprise - the already known Delta Continental. There must be at least one more I don't yet know of.

What I do already know, is the next step that takes place if one victim is willing to accept the bargain offered. If one really wants to "buy" (we know, noone will ever actually own anything) Amylin Pharmaceuticals shares, he (or she) will be provided with an even more professional-looking commercial invoice along with Bank and wire instructions.

Guess what? The transfer agent looks familiar!

Account Name:   DRAGON LINK SOLUTIONS LTD.
Account Number: 140-07-526855-01
IBAN:           CY11 0050 0140 0001 4007 5268 5501
Swift Code:     HEBACY2NLAR
Bank Name:      Hellenic Bank Ltd.

                2025 Nicosia
                Cyprus

Well, compare that to the transfer agent used for Sakura or Okuma:

Account Name      Serluna Limited

SWIFT             HEBACY2N

                  2025 Nicosia
                  Cyprus

To me, this does not leave too much space for interpretation. Once again, whoever has been contacted by "Delta Continental" or whatever the other companies may be called, please contact me, either via Comment or email.

So let the game commence!
