A friend is being pressured (heavily) by
the above company who are peddling shares in a company called
Slenderlife International.
I have advised caution but he is now being contacted by someone purporting
to be the MD who has told him to disregard any adverse comment on the
web.
As a considerable amount is involved I am rather concerned, although
I accept that it may be above board. Can you throw any light on either
company?
Cheers
Robin Sainty
Don't let him do it! They are a bunch of
scammers who continually
change their names and either promote their own bogus companies or else
issue bogus shares in possibly legit companies.
See the following first. Then send me all the info you can get on the
current promotion, addresses, names, etc. so I can warn others.

FKS took over Cambridge and Amherst. FKS offices (ex Amherst and
Cambridge) are located in Bucharest, Romania and in Budapest, Hungary.
I used to come to work at FKS every damn morning and read that
damn pitch (it is called fronting and closing the clients).

Ft 7.6 billion securities fraud
11-09-03 A Hungarian and two US citizens have been arrested and charged
with over Ft 7.6 billion in securities fraud, involving promises to make
alleged foreign share purchases, National Police spokesman Laszlo Garamvolgyi
has announced.
The three reportedly promised English-speaking clients living in Hungary
and other investors abroad that they would invest their money into the
New York Stock Exchange. The misled clients transferred money to accounts
in the name of the three suspects, which were listed on the paperwork
as belonging to existing companies. So far, Ft 150 million has been frozen
in several accounts.
Magyar Nemzet reports that the names of the US citizens are M.
Garber and P. Scheffer, and the Hungarian’s
name is M. Aron.
A Romanian citizen reputed to be their partner has confessed the details
of the scam, in exchange for not being arrested. The group of criminals
set up the companies Livingstone Asset Management Kft.,
and later Cambridge Global Kft., in the Bank Centre
building in Budapest’s prestigious Fifth District. They pretended
that they had offices in Paris, Rome, Stockholm, Geneva, Berlin and Vienna.
Potential "investors"were gathered from Ireland, the UK and
Belgium as well as other countries.
Several US citizens who are listed as shareholders of the above companies
are still at large at the moment.

Another broker scandal: HUF 7.6 billion damage due the sale of non-existing
shares
Budapest. (Interfax-Europe) - Cambridge Global, an investment
company, is being suspected of committing fraud and causing financial
damages of HUF 7.6 billion to foreigners, Csaba Molnar, head of the National
Police Headquarters' (ORFK) department against money laundering, announced
on Monday.
The company employed some 150-200 people, mostly foreigners, legally
in its Budapest office, whose work was to call possible investors on
the phone based on a list, which was provided by management.
Cambridge Global is suspected of selling non-existing shares of two companies.
One of the firms whose shares were sold took its name from a firm registered
in Florida, but the Florida-based company said it never planned to sell
shares in this manner. The fake brokerage has "virtual" offices
worldwide, all the phone lines of which were diverted to the Budapest
office.
Investors transferred between USD 1000-200,000 each to Cambridge Global.
To keep up appearances, the "brokers" paid their money back
to a few "aggressive" investors, according to the police. There
are four suspects in the case at the moment, and a Hungarian and two
American citizens have been arrested, the police said.
Cambridge Global was supposedly not the only name under which the system
worked. Police suspect the same companies' shares were offered by Amherst
International and FKS GLOBAL as well.
The Belgian financial watchdog issued a warning in April 2003, while
the Dutch watchdog warned investors this fall in connection with the
case. Hungary's financial watchdog PSZAF informed Interfax that the body
had been aware of Cambridge Global's activity for 18 months, but the
watchdog only published a warning on its homepage on October 14.
They are calling from Budapest, from Arboc and Vaci street. Not
from Switzerland, not from Prague and not from Berlin.
I was in vienna last week and I have got some facts for u.
1) Slenderlife is not yet ready
2)Amherstinternational (15 Schottenring) doesn't exist that's the address
of the "Bourse" (Stock market) in Vienna
3) Cambridgeglobal is not in the yellow pages and if u phone up the Directory
enquiry they will tell u the number of "Cambridgeglobal" belongs
to an engineering firm.
Richard Watson Associates
I've ascertained in this forum that a group called Richard Watson
Associates is now contacting Sun Biometric investors with a view
to purchasing stock in return for an initial bond.
Has anyone received been involved in a scam involving the purchase
of Skynet Telematics (SKYI) shares from a boiler
room in the Philippines called Sterling Capital?
They got me to purchase quite a few shares which were doing well
for about a year and then tanked. Currently, SKYI is worthless.
I received a cold call from Richard Watson Associates (Dave
Tudor) offering to purchase my worthless shares for
$5/share if I posted an indemnity bond for 15% of the planned
repurchase price. Thank God I did a search on the Net and found
this information before I attempted to deal with them. They seem
to fit the modus operandi used by scammers - calls around 1 a.m.
NY time, want upfront payments.
Also got a call from a company in Vancouver "Pearson
Clarke" offering to buy these worthless shares
for use by their high net worth clients for tax minimization
purposes. They offered to exchange these shares for MSFT. Didn't
make any sense since the tax benefit to be gained was much less
than the value of shares I would be receiving.
