Arnaque boursière sur netnetnet.tv par Artemis Financial

(English-speaking readers, please see at the end of the article)

Il est déjà habituel de se faire spammer par des recommandations d’acheter telle ou telle action. Je viens de me faire spammer téléphoniquement pour la même raison. J’avais répondu par téléphone il y a quelques semaines à une pseudo-étude internationale pour je ne sais quelle banque. Ca y est j’étais classé comme « boursicoteur » (je peux facilement faire le lien entre les deux appels car dans les deux cas c’est un numéro de téléphone suisse qui a été utilisé pour me joindre – numéro qui ne me sert qu’à un usage professionnel).

Aujourd’hui on m’a rappelé pour me proposer un super deal de boursicoteur. Une jeune dame, à l’anglais parfait, se présente comme travaillant pour une société hongroise et m’indique quelques exemples d’investissements que ses clients ont eu la chance de faire. Elle m’indique que je suis privilégié et que je peux avoir l’opportunité de faire pareil. Je fais comprendre que je ne suis pas intéressé par payer pour recevoir des conseils boursiers et me répond qu’il n’est pas question de cela et que je déciderai par moi même en toute indépendance. Je sens l’arnaque depuis le début, mais je la laisse me raconter son histoire. Après tout, j’étais curieux d’en savoir plus sur comment on s’y prend pour arnaquer les gens.

Tout commence par NetNetNet.Tv, cette société (côté sur le marché allemand) serait promis à un bel avenir et elle m’explique pourquoi: un de ses actionnaires majoritaires est GSBC (Global Satellite Broadcasting Corporation). Cet actionnaire est détenteur d’un brevet sur des « Smart Screen » (des écrans géants diffusant de la pub et avec lesquels on peut interagir via téléphone portable). Il a déjà donné une licence pour ce produit à une société appelé Focusmedia et cette société côtée sur le NASDAQ (le marché américain des valeurs technologiques) aurait fait un parcours boursier spectaculaire passant de 9$ à 39$ en quelques années grâce à l’implantation de plein de ces écrans en Chine. Il est donc évident que NetNetNet.tv est promis au même avenir. L’anticipation est que l’action qui côte actuellement 4,55€ passera au delà de 20€ sous douze mois.

Jusque là, c’est un discours qui se tient, et l’on me promet que je pourrai vérifier les infos et les chiffres.

Mais voilà, cette action est tellement une bonne affaire qu’il est presque impossible d’en avoir sur le marché. Heureusement la société qui emploie mon interlocutrice a réussi à négocier avec un des dirigeants de NetNetNet.tv et a pu racheter pour 20 millions de dollars d’actions au prix de 4€ (le prix de l’introduction en bourse). Grâce à Artemis Financial, je vais pouvoir investir dans cette société à 4€ l’action au lieu de 4,55€ sur le marché, mais je ne dois pas regarder ce petit gain immédiat mais viser le moyen terme avec ses alléchants +400%.

Ca y est, je l’ai ma preuve de l’arnaque! Si l’on sait que l’action va passer de 4€ à 20€ en douze mois, pourquoi diable la vendre à 4€ ? J’ai fait remarquer cela à mon interlocutrice.
Elle me répond qu’ils en gardent un peu pour eux et évite soigneusement ma question. Je lui demande alors les liens et informations qu’elle m’a promis.

À sa demande, j’ouvre mon navigateur web et elle me fait naviguer vers un PDF du site NetNetNet.tv qui doit contenir plein d’informations intéressantes et utiles. Je dois ensuite utiliser Google pour faire une recherche « netnetnet.tv gsbc » et le 7ème lien doit être le bon, elle me donne le titre, il ne correspond pas (pas de chance mes préférences google perturbent la recherche).

Comme si tout ce que renvoyait Google était vrai! Les résultats renvoient plein de traductions (à la Altavista Translate) d’un communiqué de cette GSBC. Ne voyant qu’elle n’arrive pas à grand chose avec moi, elle coupe court à la discussion sous prétexte d’un appel urgent et me laisse ses coordonnées (Bridgit Lynn et un numéro de téléphone qui correspond à celui indiqué sur la page web d’Artemis Financial) et récupère mon email pour m’envoyer un dossier (PDF et PDF). Fin de la conversation.

Quelques rapides recherches semblent indiquer une volonté de masquer l’origine réelle:

  • l’entrée whois de artemis-financial.com nous informe que DomainsByProxy.com a été utilisé pour enregistrer le domaine (bizarre pour une institution financière!)
  • l’en-tête du courrier e-mail que j’ai reçu n’indique aucune adresse IP en Bulgarie. La première IP visible (rs32.luxsci.com, 65.61.166.73) correspond à un serveur hébergé chez RackSpace.

Bref, je ne peux pas trier le bon grain de l’ivraie dans toutes ces infos, mais une chose est sûre: les Suisses (et autres) qui se font contacter par Artemis Financial pour investir dans NetNetNet.tv feraient bien de se méfier. Je ne sais pas s’il y a des autorités (suisses ou autres) qu’il serait bon de prévenir, en tout cas il m’a semblé utile de mettre cette information en ligne au cas où d’autres personnes (moins méfiantes) se font tenter par l’appât d’une plus-value impressionnante et rapide. Les méthodes de Artemis Financial relèvent de l’arnaque et même si je n’en ai pas de preuves formelles (je ne vais pas essayer!), il y a quelque chose de pas net derrière tout cela.

Mise à jour du 04 septembre: Une autre dame de Artemis Financial m’a rappelé et ce coup-ci j’ai refusé de discuter mais la discussion commençait sur le fait que l’action a fait un bond formidable de 10% depuis le dernier appel et que cela cachait de très bonnes nouvelles ! J’ai regardé les graphiques boursiers et les volumes sont ridiculement faibles sur cette action, un achat de 4000 actions (soit 20 KEUR à peine) a suffit à générer cette hausse. Essayez de vendre le même volume et vous obtenez le parcours inverse…


For english-speaking readers who might find this article over Google, this article is meant to warn people contacted by « Artemis Financial, Hungary ». Their offer to invest in NetNetNet.tv really looks like a swindle. Don’t trust blindly information that you might find by looking at the results of the Google searches that they recommend you.

    Vous pouvez alerter les autorités de régulation des marchés. Pour la France, il s’agit de l’AMF http://www.amf-france.org.
    Sur le site vous avez la liste des différentes autorités par pays : http://www.amf-france.org/affiche_page.asp?urldoc=alertes_membrescesr.htm

    Il paraît évident que nul ne peut prévoir la valeur d’une action à M+12. Soit c’est effectivement une escroquerie, soit c’est mensonger.

    L’un des principes directeurs dans ces affaires est de ne jamais répondre aux sollicitations même par jeu.

    Le scénario est très bien rôdé mais quelque peu stéréotypé : je viens d’avoir moi aussi la 2ème « dame » d’Artémis qui me proposait une offre encore plus alléchante que la première fois (j’avais été démarché la semaine dernière, très exactement comme indiqué sur ce blog). N’ayant pu me convaincre, elle a fini par perdre son sang froid et m’a presque raccroché au nez, ce qui peut se comprendre si c’était son 2ème refus de la journée (et je dois dire que faire perdre patience à des harceleuses téléphoniques patentées, cela m’a procuré un certain plaisir …).

    Voir également les articles suivants qui semblent liés à ces mêmes pratiques douteuses:

    Merci pour ces liens. Au moins cela confirme mon impression. De mon côté, j’ai fait suivre les informations à l’AMF. On m’a répondu que mes informations avaient été envoyée au médiateur.

    Je ne sais pas si cela servira à quelque chose… par contre je sais que cet article est déjà numéro un de Google sur « artemis netnetnet.tv » et qu’avec cela au moins, on évitera peut-être à quelques uns de se faire entuber. 🙂

    Pour la peine, signalons qu’il en va donc de même avec « Unicorn Ventures » qui est mentionné dans les articles ci-dessus. Par contre ce coup-ci, le domaine Unicorn-Ventures.net n’a pas été acheté par un service anonymiseur, le propriétaire est un anglais:
    James Kent
    890 Manor House
    Alton, Kent KE4 9PD
    United Kingdom

    Mais l’adresse sur le site fait effectivement croire à une société portuguaise.

    Certes…
    Le sujet a été débattu en long et en large depuis le mois de mai 2007 sur divers forums en ce qui concerne « UV ». Ces gens m’ont harcelé pratiquement tous les jours pendant plusieurs semaines mais je ne suis pas tombé dans le panneau.
    Voir le blog danois, chercher dans google « Unicorn-ventures netnetnet » et on tombe automatiquement dessus, les premiers commentaires en danois sont suivis d’un grand nombre de commentaires en anglais de personnes de divers pays européens. Intéressant de suivre notamment, les recherches en cours de la part de diverses personnes ayant envoyé des fonds…
    Quoi qu’il en soit, vu le volume des transactions sur l’action, bonne chance à ceux qui ont acheté et qui cherchent à revendre, surtout si on attend le grand jour où l’action aura pris la plus-value fantastique promise.
    Donc… à suivre…

    Le sujet a fait l’objet d’avertissements dans la presse en Suisse. Voici l’article qui a paru le 10 juillet 2007 dans le quotidien Lausannois « 24 Heures » et simultanément, dans le quotidien Genevois « Tribune de Genève » :

    A la chasse aux gogos boursicoteurs
    PRÉVENTION
    Une astuce boursière sévit en Suisse romande. Une étrange société portugaise cherche à vendre des actions d’une start-up genevoise via un central téléphonique au Sri Lanka. Gare!
    Le Vaudois PS se souvient bien de ce premier coup de fil reçu début juin. Sous couvert d’un prétendu sondage, un interlocuteur à l’accent indien lui pose quelques questions en anglais sur «les habitudes des Suisses» en matière d’investissements. L’appel, qui provient du Sri Lanka, vise en fait à ferrer le gogo boursicoteur.
    Quelques jours plus tard, deuxième appel. Cette fois, la personne se présente sous un nom typiquement anglo-saxon. Genre Lloyd Spencer.
    Lloyd explique que sa société, Unicorn Ventures, basée au Portugal, appelle des particuliers «sélectionnés» pour leur proposer des placements «à fort potentiel de gain» dans des titres cotés en bourse. De plus, Unicorn se dit capable d’offrir des rabais de 20% sur le cours du jour pour des «placements privés» de 20’000 à 50’000 euros.
    Une affaire pas Netnetnet
    Et tiens, justement, Unicorn a une excellente affaire à proposer: un rabais important sur l’action d’une start-up cotée à Francfort mais basée à Genève, Netnetnet.tv. D’après son site web, cette dernière conçoit des écrans publicitaires révolutionnaires et serait, toujours selon Lloyd, sur le point de signer un contrat de plusieurs centaines de millions d’euros. A son adresse genevoise, le nom de Nenetnet.tv ne figure sur aucune boîte à lettres. Le répondeur signale dans un premier temps que l’équipe est en vacances.
    «Comme je n’ai jamais cédé, trois conseillers de Unicorn Ventures m’ont appelé chacun plusieurs fois de manière très persuasive et insistante», raconte PS. Agacé autant qu’intrigué, le Vaudois tape le nom d’Unicorn Ventures sur Google et découvre de nombreuses mentions sur des forums… danois.
    La police danoise met en garde
    Hasard de la vie, PS comprend cette langue. Sur ces forums, plusieurs boursicoteurs racontent la même histoire. Certains disent avoir avancé de l’argent à Unicorn et n’avoir jamais revu leur mise. La police danoise a même publié un avertissement officiel le 6 juin. Les polices cantonales genevoise et vaudoise affirment ne pas avoir eu vent de ce cas précis, mais leurs porte-parole respectifs confirment tous deux que ce type d’arnaque est bien connu. Dans le canton de Vaud, des enquêtes sur des affaires similaires ont abouti au blocage de centaines de milliers de francs sur des comptes en Suisse et à l’étranger.
    Joint sur son portable, Clint Bault de Netnetnet.tv semble tomber des nues et confirme seulement que Unicorn a bel et bien pris une participation «substantielle» dans son capital et cherche à revendre ses actions. «Mais nous n’avons aucun contrôle sur les transactions privées de nos actionnaires», conclut Clint.

    Hélas, je crains que nous soyons « tombés dans le panneau ».

    Nous nous sommes laissés convaincre le 13/08/07 par Unicorn Ventures d’investir l’équivalent de € 4 242, soit 1000 actions à € 4,20 (+ € 42 de commissions). Les fonds devaient être versés sur le compte suivant :

    Peak Group Managment Inc.
    Bank of Panhsin, Songjang Branch
    238, Songjang Road, Zhongshan District
    Taipei City, R.O.C. (104)
    Compte n° 0491-135-0002770

    Lundi 3 septembre, mon mari est contacté de nouveau par M. Royston YOUNG (Vice President de Unicorn Trading) lui-même qui voulait lui aussi nous faire profiter des 200 000 actions Netnetnet.tv qu’il venait d’acheter à un prix super interessant. Mon mari se laisse convaincre d’un achat d’environ € 15 000, avec la réserve que je sois d’accord, or je suis comptable et méfiante. j’ai donc tapé Netnetnet sur Google et lu votre blog.

    Evidement nous n’avons pas donné suite mais de plus j’ai demandé à Unicorn de revendre nos actions et de nous rembourser. Bien sur pas de réponse, mais un harcélement téléphonique sur notre lieu de travail, non pas pour nous dire qu’ils nous remboursaient mais pour exiger que nous
    payions les € 15 000.

    Je vous tiendrai au courant,

    A tous : méfiance !!

    Exactement le même scénario que décrit par un nombre grandissant de personnes sur les « forums danois » :

    Si le danois est incompréhensible, descendre la liste et voir les interventions en anglais…

    Pourtant dès début – août, les autorités de surveillance bancaire et financière de divers pays ont publié des avertissements. Par exemple :

    Il semble qu’il y aurait autant d’employés chez UV et AF que de personnes appelées ?
    Voir les innombrables noms mentionnés dans les forums de la part des personnes qui témoignent.
    Suggestion, si on vous appelle, demander quel temps il fait en Angleterre ou au Srilanka ! Personne ne va encore croire que ces gens appellent du Portugal ou de Hongrie ?

    En lisant cette affaire d`Artemis dont j’ai entendu parlé de bouche à oreilles l’autre jour, je pose la question de ce que doivent faire les personnes que je connais qui ont achaté des actions de cette boîte netnetnet?
    Y a t-il un conseil à donner?

  11. Avatar de Buxy

    Pier, cela dépend de où ils ont acheté ces actions… s’ils les ont acheté à Artemis, le premier conseil serait de ne pas en acheter plus parce que visiblement ils recontactent les gens pour leur en faire prendre plus. Ils peuvent aussi demander la vente de leurs actions et le remboursement mais je n’ai aucune idée si cela va fonctionner.

    S’ils ont acheté les actions directement sur le marché public, ils gèrent comme leur portefeuille habituel… ils sont libres de vendre à tout moment.

    je ne sais pas comment vous faites les amis pour acheter du netnetnet.tv à ces tarifs . en effet, si vous parlez longuement à notre ami steve roberts de hongrie (il faut bien sur attendre qu’il vous démarche ) et si vous essayez d’en faire votre ami , vous pôurrez les avoir à 3,80 euros ! Bien sûr ,pour le moment je n’ai encore rien acheté car j’èspère que les
    prix vont encore baisser; Surtout j’èspère inverser la tendance et lui revendre un vieux solex
    5000 qui traine dans mon grenier à un prix attractif(pour moi!) : 150 000 euros . Comme vous êtes des mecs plutôt sympas , si steve roberts n’a pas réussi à arnaquer une clientèle suffisante pour m’acheter mon solex , celui-ci sera disponible au tarif raisonable de 250 euros . Tél O4 74 35 6000 . En attendant, le commentaire de buxy faisant remarquer que l’on ne voit pas pourquoi on braderait des actions certaines de monter, me semble frappé au coin du bon sens ; en ce moment il me semble préférable d’acheter du bradé type bnp paribas , carrefour , bourbon pu autre blue chip qui ne va pas s’écrouler tout de suite

    NNN pretend avoir achete ou signe un accord pour une somme de CHF 26 millions avec la societe Incite media A.G. Riedhofstrasse 124 8105 Regensdorf tel 043 388 7850 http://www.incitemedia.tv personne en charge Yvonne Salzmann.
    Il semble que UV et Artemis soient la meme bande d escrocs probablement de nationalite US,mais ils doivent avoir des partenaires suisses ,naifs ou du meme gabarit,qui patagent une partie du butin.
    Il serait interessant de connaitre la banque de NNN et de se renseigner par cette voie
    certains cites mentionnent que la transaction avc incitemedia a ete financee par un homme du Liechtenstein,ce qui rend l affaire encore plus vaseuse.
    Bonne chance ,bon courage je cherche moimeme a recuperer mon investissement

    Les considérations de Pablo ci-dessus m’ont effectivement traversé l’esprit aussi. … Voici le site internet du registre officiel du commerce en Suisse, comprenant TOUTES les sociétés par actions, individuelles, et simples commerçants exerçant une activité économique en Suisse :

    http://www.zefix.ch/

    En droit Suisse comme partout, une « société anonyme » (donc par actions cotées en bourse ou non), « existe » juridiquement obligatoirement, par son inscription au registre du commerce. Netnetnet indique sur son site être basé à son adresse à Genève. Toutefois, quelqu’un est-il capable de trouver cette « société » dans le registre du commerce suisse ? J’ai essayé mais pas trouvé…. Reste à comprendre, comment une société « inexistante » peut-elle avoir des actions « existantes » sur la bourse de Francfort ? Quelqu’un est-il capable d’expliquer ?

    Voici l’annuaire suisse online ou se trouvent tous les numéros de téléphones et adresses de personnes et sociétés en Suisse :

    http://www.directories.ch/pagesblanches/index.aspx

    Là aussi, quelqu’un est-il capable de trouver netnetnet, ou même quoi que ce soit correspondant à ses numéros de fax et tél. ???? Là aussi j’ai cherché mais pas trouvé….

    Par contre la personne citée par Pablo ci-dessus, « existe » réellement dans les deux registres ci-dessus…. Peut-être la clé de l’énigme serait-elle effectivement, à chercher par cette voie.

    Oui mais moi je ne suis pas tombé dans le panneau, je n’ai envoyé de l’argent nulle part, j’ai seulement été harcelé par les gens d’UV pendant près d’un mois.

    Je n’ai donc pas de raison d’appeler ou de réclamer quoi que ce soit.

    Mes interventions ici sont seulement dans le but d’aider et de contribuer à éclaircir la situation.

    Donc il faut laisser à ceux qui ont quelque chose à réclamer, le soin de prendre contact avec nnn ou autres si ils jugent ceci utile ou nécessaire pour leur cause.

Quand je lui affronte que Artemis est sur le « black listes » en Norvege et au Danmark, elle et devenue silante pendent 2 secondes, et puis elle a essayee d lèxplique.

    Salut à tous, j’ai aussi été contacté par nos « amis » d’Artemis. Le mien s’appelle James Lloyd et veut me les vendre à 3.80 pour une mise minimale de EUR 35,000. Tout ça sent mauvais et ces personnes sont culotées. Il est évident que James appelait depuis un call-center car en bruit de fond il devait y avoir une vingtaine d’autres opérateurs-vendeurs anglophones. Parmi les « corporate governors » de NNN il y a ce Alexis Lope-Bello. Il a des ramifications en Russie et laisse de curieuses traces sur Google pour des fds d’investissement douteux en Russie avec taiwan.ru, etc. Bref ce truc est trop chaud, il ne faut rien toucher. Il faut être très puissant pour lancer une escroquerie qui amène une startup fictive à partir en IPO à la bourse de Francfort…

Dans un des forums danois quelqu’un dit qu’il lui semble que le « bruit de fond » donnant l’impression d’un call-center est en fait un enregistrement en boucle. On peut imaginer que les plaisantins qui appellent ne sont en réalité qu’en nombre limité. Plaisantins certes, mais si vous voyez le forum allemand quelques personnes disent avoir envoyé 20’000 à 30’000 euros.

    Pour ceux qui ont envoye des fonds et sont normalement actionnaires de NNN je pense que ,comme moi vous souhaitez les recuperer.
    Pour ce faire il faut etre en contacte avec des ou une personne qui endosse officiellement une responsabilite.
    ce ou ces personnes se trouvent au 36 blvd helvetique sous le nom de European Launch Pad S.A. et comme par hasard Mr Clint Bauld se trouve dans leurs bureaux,et devrait normalement savoir quand a lieu la prochaine assemblee des actionnaires.le telephone est 022 700 76 48.

    Pour ceux qui comprennent l’Allemand : Voir le site Suisse-Allemand « Beobachter » ( http://forum.beobachter.ch/forenthreaddetail.aspx?Session=1DEDC9D1-EE33-418A-A4FE-39898C8986BB&ForenID=35&PostID=21461 ), l’intervention de « Oberon ».

    AHURISSANT !!!!

    On peut se demander dans quelle mesure les personnes envoyant des fonds à AF ou UV seront soumises aux mêmes traitements si ils se laissent mener en bateau jusqu’au bout, et éventuellement, si les personnes derrière toutes ces sociétés de « conseils et placements » ne seraient pas par hasard, … les mêmes.

    Ils ont semble-t-il tous en commun :
    * Les interlocuteurs ont tous des noms typiquement « british » mais chaque fois différents.
    * Les transferts sont toujours effectués auprès de banques en Asie.
    * Ces banques sont toujours dans d’autres pays que l’adresse présumée de la société de conseils et placements.
    * Les actions proposées sont toujours de sociétés dont on peut difficilement vérifier la substance et l’activité réelle, et se « trouvant » encore dans d’autres pays que la société de conseils et placements.

    Pablo, oui on veut en savoir plus, de quelles autorités tu parles ? Y a t’il des traces publiques d’une décision de justice ? N’y a t’il eu qu’une procédure en thailande et rien en Europe ?

    En gros pour ceux qui ne lisent pas l’allemand, « Oberon » semble décrire son cas qui serait une version « à l’extrême » de la stratégie employée par les sympathiques conseillers :
    Une fois qu’on est pris dans l’engrenage, on est sans arrêt sollicité pour envoyer des fonds supplémentaires afin de « profiter » de deals chaque fois très attrayants, impliquant parfois la conversion de ses actions en titres « encore plus fantastiques ».
    Si on souhaite vendre son portefeuille et récuperer sa mise, il faut aussi envoyer des fonds supplémentaires afin de disposer d’un « paquet d’actions » suffisamment intéressant pour qu’un éventuel acheteur veuille bien les reprendre.
    Lorsqu’on se plaint que le cours du titre est en baisse, le conseiller propose un deal par lequel, par un obscur tour de passe-passe, les actions du client peuvent être « échangées »contre d’autres « beaucoup plus prometteuses ». Ceci bien entendu moyennant des investissements supplémentaires… Ce pauvre gars a marché dans la combine et s’est retrouvé à la fin avec des actions payées $2.00 , ne valant plus que $0.001 pièce, et ayant investi des dizaines de milliers de $.

    Oui il y a eu procedure juridique en Thailande mais le personnes en charge de l Implementig de ces decisions sont des civil servants qui gagnent 200 a 300 USD/mois et qui sont facilement achetables ,c est ce qui s est passe.Les services speciaux des fraudes des USA Angleterre Australie et autres pays sont actifs sur place et font fermer le operations en activite par une descente de police.Ca dure quelques heures ,le temps de negocier la somme qui sera remise en liquide au chef qui repart avec quelques annees de salaire en poche.Souvent les officiers de police superieurs sont associes et couvrent les operations .
    D en savoir plus c est bien mais ca ne vous rapportera rien.Il faut que des personnes lesees s en prennent aux societes qui ont soit disant pignon sur rue dans des pays civilises comme la suisse ,Lallemagne ,L autriche pour les coincer et recuperer leurs fonds.J ai mentionne la societe EUROPEAN LAUNCH PAD S.A.chez qui se cache NNN allez les voir et discutez avc eux, Cest la que se trouve Clint Bauld de soit disant NNN mais qui est employe de ELP S.A.Je ne peux pas le faire moimeme car je ne suis pas dans la region.Condamner les escrocs c est bien,mais recupere son argent c est mieux.Si vous ne voulez pas le faire vous meme prenez un avocat ou la police locale

    GSBC is a fake company. The bank Paragon International Placements ltd that was supposed to get GSBC on the US market is also a boiler room company. Many people in the US has lost money on buying GSBC shares from Paragon.

    He seems to be a real person at least, there is an address, phone number etc. to be found in the swiss directories :

    http://www.directories.ch/pagesblanches/index.aspx

    And also a management consulting company to be found in the swiss commerce registry :

    Hello Pablo
    I also sent an email about the ownership to Incite and wondered why no information about the affair with NNN could be found on their website. I was also curios to know why all the latest pressreleases and news were from march this year? The answer came from Roland Kümin that they had indeed been bought by NNN and that Incite Media was to change its name to Netnetnet.tv by the end of the year. He also gave me a link to their website where there indeed were some articles about Roland Kümin and the fact that he had sold the company to Netnetnet. All this was posted at the end of September, a few days after my mail to Incite. Coincidence?
    All this makes me wonder, not only about NNN, where I think I have a pretty clear idea, but also about Incite Media and their part in it all.

    many thanks for your feedback which is of interest because you made a step forward.I did the same a while ago and when i spoke to the secretary she had never heard of NNN.Further more ,if you have a loock at the accounts of NNN ,they have a share capital of CHF 200 000,unless we are both complete idiots ,I cannot see how they could be bought for CHF 26 millions,as they are 2 yars old.
    in my opinion Kuemin is in collusion with the scam and gets some$$$ for rerouting callers to geneva.
    Suggest that you try to contact the alledged chairman of NNN ,as i heard several times he is always traveling and not available,Clint bauld dixit
    The only way to take them out of business is to work on the responsability of the geneva authorities that they are harbouring a scam that syphons money from their swiss investors
    good luck,keep me posted

    further more I have spoken to Clint who appears as a useless counterpart who does not know anything except that Williams is traveling.
    You have to know that this organisation is covered by European Launch Pad S.A. at the coordonates i have given above, the phone No is the same with one more unit on the last digit.it is probably a service office or just friends of the NNN Incitemedia Unicorn ventures and Artemis Mafia with a more than certain american backup

    If you look at the swiss Handelsregister for Incite Media you can find nothing about the deal with NNN. The latest entry was from April. A very good site: moneyhouse.ch. You can find all kinds of information about all swiss companies. Even Clint Baulds small consulting firm (and it even says that William Clinton Bauld is an Australian), BUT you can find nothing about NNN. Did a quick search for the names of the other people at NNN, but only found Mr Lope-Bello as the head of a now defunct company.

    None of the Unicorn Ventures, Artemis Financial, NNN blogs that I keep my eye on has had any new entries lately. Does this mean that they have given up? Tried calling Artemis today. Only got an anonymus « Thank you for calling » answering machine. Unicorn Ventures at least has « Thank you for calling Unicorn Ventures » on their answering machine. Or have they started to work under yet another name? On other digital signage blogs GSBC founder (somehow involved with NNN) Ronald Flynn and former partner Jerry Dubin are pounding each other with all kinds of accusations. Really quite silly. As far as I have been able to find out there is not much news on NNN or Incite Media other than that the NNN stock is falling close to 4 Euro.

    Hello Pablo and all!
    This is my impression of the Artemis NNN affair.
    This is also posted on the danish Studmuffin blog.

    I would say that NNN is a company that owns nothing, except their own stock, produces nothing besides pressreleases. It is a company “left over” from when the Thai company Global Sattelite Broadcast Company claimed that they owned the patent of the “Smart Screen” that would dominate the world of digital signage. That NNN got listed in Frankfurt gave credibility to GSBC. When things went totally out of hand at GSBC NNN was left with nothing but dreams. (Note that there is no reference to “Smart Sceen” on NNN:s website any longer)
    Clint Bauld, the front figure of NNN, runs a consulting firm in Switzerland and also works for European Launch Pad, with offices at the same adress as NNN, and they share the same fax number. Somebody is sitting on a huge pile of NNN stock (it claims to be funded with 448 million euros) bought at a bargain price that Unicorn Ventures and later Artemis Financial is trying to sell. They can afford to sell it under the listed price because they make a handsome profit anyway.
    Unicorn and Artemis are fake companies and since Clint Bauld has stated that Unicorn has a substantial claim in NNN he must be in on the scam. My “broker” at Artemis urged me to call NNN to make sure that Artemis was a “licenced” seller of NNN stock further proves the link between NNN and Unicorn/Artemis. The only thing of some substance in NNN is the purchase of Incite Media, but as this is payed for with NNN stock this will probably not happen as the stock is now falling on the Frankfurt stock exchange. They (whoever they are) will perhaps be able to keep the rate up for a while by buying small quantities, but not in the long run.
    This is my view of the affair. Will be following it with interest

    Dear Karsten and Scammy,
    You are both right with your findings,and quite close to reality.Thailand is the place where they are calling from probably,it could as well be the Pilippines , Malaysia or indonesia that all have the reputation to harbour such scam operations.
    One thing i have some doubts about is that these people sit on a stock of NNN shares,the name of the game beeing to rip others off rather than investing money,even if it has been previously Stolen from others.The only investment they have done is in phone lines that are meant to be untracable.
    the whole business is very primitive and basic,as piracy has always been and will remain.

    To Karsten
    The easyest way to « maintain » the value of the stock is to bye small quantities at regular intervals. That has been done several times.

    it *is* Thailand. I speak a little Thai (al little!) and the answering machine is certanly Thai. I called up later and asked in Thai and the woman answered in Thai. When I called and talked english she said I arrived at Artemis (LOL).

    the number is not Thai it is a hungarian mobile number.

    I have come to the same conclusion as Karsten and support his summary. I would like to add that Fightersoft is the new company (the company is old) where Ron Flynn promises « gold and fortune ».

    Artemis/Unicorn are the same people (I cannot ducument this but I called Artemis asking for names that I have read around the net that has been used by Unicorn) and they said he/she wasn’t inn. hehe..

    Noticed that NNN has a new item on its milestones list: A letter of intent with Fujitsu Services. (Sounds like no big deal to me) It is further described in a press release from Incite Media where it is also stated that NNN is the owner of Incite. It also identifies Roland Kümin as the head of Netnetnet tv Europe. The press release ends like this: « netnetnet.tv is a worldwide digital media network infrastructure operator and consolidator and provides its customers with state-of-the-art in-store intelligent digital communication solutions through a wide range and highly competitive portfolio of products and services. » After all we have learned about NNN this sounds like a lot of BS.

    As I have mentioned earlier, Theese guies will not stop with their scams.
    They will open upp another company. and continue the scam in some other name.
    I am truly sorry for the people that invested in this.

    What wee should doo, is put to them out of businnes. How ?

    I will probably shortly travel down to Thailand, but without the IP address, I can`t do shitt.
    There is a sustantial buissnes with Callsenters in Thailand. Legitiamate and not.

    I Think that the easiest way is the offisial trough stockmarket, since they can not ceep that upp. Not a good way for stockholders.

    What can we do ? Shoot them ?
    Yes.

    To all,
    The findings are interesting but i think that if somebody wants to stop their action ,it has to be done in a legal environment that is effective and reiable like Switzerland could be.Thailand has a legislation but when it comes to inforcing the law ,coruption is the name of the game and as a foreigner you are always on the looser’s side.
    Somebody has to physically go to the address in the geneva and squeeze CB and his fiends to obtain some results that can be brought to the relevant authorities and get action.another way is to get some journalist involved that will report that the geneva government is habouring fraudulous operations.
    Good luck i will try from my side and report.
    I have heard that the swiss german are more adamant when it comes to their image ,why not try on the NNN-incitemedia side!!!!!
    Have a good day

    Well, as someone who has not invested, I really think we have done a good job here at this and other blogs. If you Google « Unicorn Ventures » (one of the first « companies » trying to sell NNN) the first link that is listed is the danish studmuffin, where you can get a pretty good idea of the dangers in investing in NNN. A similar search of « Artemis Financial » delivers this blog as number three on the Google list. A good warning for anybody approached by Artemis. Unfortunately the « Netnetnet » search only has this blog on page two, where page one is filled with the recent pressreleases from NNN. I´m sure there are ways to improve the Google
    rating to land on page one. This is of course no help to those who have invested and want their money back, but it might be of help to those approached by unicorn/artemis followers who want to sell them NNN stock. So please keep this blog alive. There is something very rotten with NNN/Incite Media and I would love to find out what it is.

    Hi All,

    I was also contacted by Artemis and also « invested » €4000.– in NNN. After saying I was going to transfer all to authorities I got a call from XYZ working for Artemis asking me why I was angry and that I should not worry as I was owning now some shares of Nanopharm in Malaysia.

    I asked in the next mail to sell everything and get my money back, next call indicating me that they will ask Nanopharm to send me phisically the stock I earn and I can sell them locally?

    Do anyone have the data of the authorities I should contact in Switzerland?

    Do any of you tried to find out more about the bank account:

    Peak Group Managment Inc.
    Bank of Panhsin, Songjang Branch
    238, Songjang Road, Zhongshan District
    Taipei City, R.O.C. (104)
    Compte n° 0491-135-0002770

    Thanks to all.

    I more and more believe that I will never see my money back.

    Only hope these guys will be dead soon…

    Well I answer to you in English, because it is not so polite from us speaking a lauguage that our other friends here (Pablo, …) will not understand.
    Actually my story is the same as yours, but with Unicorn Ventures instead of AF.
    They called me and my wife almost every day in June – July this year, talking about their « fantastic news » and « super deal » offering the nnn shares under market price, and our potential for getting rich and multiplying our investment with 5-6 for sure within a few months. We certainly spent as many hours as yourself on the phone with them, impossible to get rid of. They could not accept NO as an answer, and did not seem to realize that the more they called, the more their behaviour seemed strange and doubtful. At least 3-4 guys called us from UV.
    Their sales method is simple : asking questions (to which you can only answer « yes ») and making you feel and look stupid if you do not decide immediately to accept their fantastic offer.
    But : we never fell for the trick. Now I am just following this out of curiosity and am glad if I can help those who have « invested ».

    Hello Peter and all!
    Yes, it is strange. I guess that they don’t give s* about accounting. Just rake in the money as fast as possible. Noticed that NNN stock was at it’s lowest ever today, 3,30 Euro. Is this an indication that the game is up? The « pump » phase is over and we are now in the « dump » phase. The volumes are very low, considering there must be millions of stock issued.
    Wonder where this leaves Incite Media?
    Guess we will know in the coming month.

    I sent them 4000 euros not so long ago and had a similar experience whereby they could not expect the great returns from nnn unless they sold the shares to someone who was in some sort of bind, but than they wanted me to send them a further 7,500 euros so that they could than triple it for me and send me back 21,000 by the end of the year.

    I did not send them the 7’500 and was than accused of having made his whole deal flounder and he was going to lose a lot of money…. BS…

    let me know what I should be doing to help. As you can see I am not from this world and have been cheated. I will be happy to go back to the mountains for a living!!

    Is anyone able to do a link between the scan above and either Stock Targets, or European LaunchPad, beyond them just hosting NNN? possibly same directors, or whatever?

    I suspect ST / ELP are trying to embark totally honest companies as bait for their scam. If there are links betweens these all, we can at least spread the word to those companies seeking financing through IPOs so that they don’t get abused and discredited.

    Hi,

    I’m following the statements with great interest. I had been stupid enough to also buy nnn shares, like many others, from UV. Sometime later I was contacted with the news that an unnamed company has ordered UV to buy back nnn shares to get 51% of the shares, claming that this company would pay a three times higher price, but only if I would own at least 10.000 shares.
    I showed interest but ordered to sell first the existing shares at the present market price in Frankfurt. I was regularly contacted by phone but was lucky and eventually received really the money back (about 90 % of the investment) because they thought they have me on the hook for a much bigger deal. At least this worked out for me.

    Hello all!
    As not being a victim of this scam (just subject to Artemis constant cold calls), I have followed it out of curiosity. My main interest is getting to know where the crooks are. Of course they are Unicorn and Artemis, but is NNN just a victim or part of the scam? Too many things have pointed in the scam direction. So where does this leave Incite Media? As far as I can tell a rather ordinary digital signage company (there is a similar one running the sceens in my local grocery store in Sweden), being bought by NNN for 26 or 27 million Swiss francs (the figure varies between press releases) seems to be a bit strange. That Incite Media is going to become Netnetnet tv at the end of the year has been stated i several pressreleases. I therefore sent an e-mail to johst baehe@incitemedia.tv (and a media contact person for netnetnet.tv in a press release from Incite Media) asking him if he was aware of the ongoing scam with NNN stock and the negative speculations about NNN and Incite Media on several internet blogs. As of today I have not received an answer. The mail was sent on december 4th. The following day NNN stock on the Frankfurt exchange rose 33 percent from 3 euro to almost 4 euro. Maybe that was my answer? The NNN stock seems to be very volatile despite the fact that very small amounts are traded, but seem to be on a downward curve, despite the latest press releases from Incite Media (where the description of Netnetnet.tv is somewhat toned down from earlier versions).
    Will be interesting to see where this all ends. And what Pablo has made of Nanopharm in Kuala Lumpur.

    The volatilaty of the stoks is quite simple. The volume is small. If I had stoks, I could by some more one day, get the prise upp. and sell the next day.(To decrease my los)

    This scam is well organiced, I think.

    They understand the time lag between they are blacklisted in one country and the next.

    The individual counrtry does not have the ability to take them down.
    These people are smart.

    The best way to trace them is ip address. We can put together a team to take them down.

    Then mid Nov he called me and asked to buying other stocks to average the loss (?!?!?!?). I refused to this request and I asked for explanation of this strange investment strategy. As a result he insulted me and said that my money has gone.

On one of the free pressrelease sites (firmenpresse.de) that had a pressrelease from Unicorn Ventures there is the name of the person that had submitted the release. A German from Frankfurt and even a telepone number (fake I guess). There was also a list of other pressreleases submitted by this person. All where about Unicorn Ventures and Artemis Financial! This person obviously is part of the scam organisation. Would be interesting if he could be tracked down.

    After having followed the Artemis NNN affair over the net for a couple of months I would be very careful to have any dealings with NNN stock. Too many shady, and even criminal characters have been using NNN shares to cheat people. Too many grandstandig pressreleases have been issued by the company. A company that in itself has very little substance, as far as I can tell. This multimillion company does not even have proper offices. My impression is that they are trying to buy substance (Incite Media etc.) with NNN shares. Shares that seem to be on a downward slope on the Frankfurt stock exchange. So my advice is: be very careful.

    Sure, it is legitimate. But buying profitable companies for inflated sums (27 million Swiss Francs for Incite Media) with make beleive money (NNN shares) will only in the end dilute the value of the NNN share. This was very common practice before the Internet bubble burst. It was also the tactic of the Global Sattelite Broadcast Corporation (GSBC), a bogus corporation with connections to NNN, that aquired a lot of legitimate companies and then more or less went up in smoke. The difference is that NNN shares are listed on the Frankfurt exchange. So if your friend wants to sell his company for NNN shares my advice would be: get the shares and sell them as fast as you can. The only problem with this is finding a buyer.

    I’m sure that there are legal ways to get bogus companies listed in Frankfurt. I guess you have to be smart and have connections etc, and it probably helps to be a swiss company and to be able to hide behind the famous swiss bank secrecy. Anyway, your question is interesting: how does NNN gain from this setup. I would like to rephrase it to: how do the people behind NNN gain? And who are those people? I recently sent an email to NNN trying to get their reaction on the obvious scams performed by Unicorn Ventures and Artemis Financial with NNN shares. I got a polite answer saying that they as a publicly listed company had no control over who traded their shares and would not comment on it. Having followed this blog for a couple of months that answer failed to convince me. So who is behind all this? Could it be organized crime? A money laundering system?
    An entertaining way to get an inside view on the working of scams is to watch the movie « Boiler Room ». And beware: The people at NNN are reading the comments on this blog.

    HAS ANYONE ASKED NNN THE OLLOWING :

    * When is their yearly shareholder’s meeting ? (as a public company they are obliged to have a shareholders meeting within 6 months after closing the financial year).
    * Annual financial statements ? : a shareholder should be able to receive at least the annual report.
    * Who are the auditors ? : a public listed company is obliged to have a registered accounting firm check and approve their accounts.
    * Where is the company duly registered ? obviously not in Switzerland since nothing is to be found in the commerce registries.

    Hello all!
    Today I received a phonecall from a company « in London » conducting a « survey ». The same procedure that preceded my calls from Artemis Financial. Unfortunately I had no time to talk to the guy. Would have been interesting to learn what our well known boiler room are calling themselves this time around, and to hear what stock they are promoting. Could it be NNN all over again? So beware: the scammers have not given up.

    yes and another guy called me the other day, said he was from a broker firm in New York, he had my complete name and private address, as well as the details of the company I work for.

    He was wondering if this data was still valid. He said he would call me again in a couple of weeks because he expects to have then some very good offer…. He would send me some papers about his company in the meantime.

    Wondering where these guys get our names and addresses from : it seems some lists are circulating with our names, phone numbers and other details ? I have been called for the last couple of years by several such people, they never take « no » for an answer and are sometimes quite difficult to get rid off. When saying « I have no money to invest », they never seem to believe that…

    Hello all again.
    According to the swiss Handelsregister the new president of NNN (Europe) AG is Richard Walker (CEO of the « old » NNN) an Australian living in North Turramurra. Did a quick search and came up with a Richard Walker in North Turramurra that was one of the founders of « LifeWealth 8 ». In a media release of January 2004, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission described LifeWealth 8 as “the most outrageous financial scheme of the past 12 months”.
    Could this be the same Richard Walker?

    Hello all!
    After spending a few hours searching on the net I wold say that IF the Richard Walker of NNN is identical to the Richard Walker of LifeWealth 8 this would really open up a whole new can of worms. Several factors point in this direction and that would perhaps shed new light on the dubious connection between NNN and GSBC, the Malaysia connection (Nanopharm) and maybe even on Unicorn and Artemis. If this interests you you can do a search for « Atlas Travel Club » in NZ and the forum of whirlpool.net.au.

    Stephen,
    Interesting information that Artemis is still around. I thought that they had dissapeared and surfaced under yet another name. As of yesterday (assuming that you bought 1000 shares of NNN) your investment was worth 3100 eu, but has been down to under 3 eu/share in recent weeks. NNN has now a new homepage, designwise an improvement but has skipped the link to the Frankfurt stock exchange. Guess that the downward slope on the NNN graph was not something to encourage would be invertors with. This also means that there is no longer an Incite Media website.
    When I last heard from Pablo he was dealing with the situation of Nanopharm stock in Malaysia. Don´t know if there is any progress.
    On the Tradingideas blog there is a Mr X promising to shortly reveal interesting information in this case. Looking forward to that.

    who exactly is the culprit scammer? Artmeis or whatever name they call themselves or NNN? Could it be that Artmeis has « picked » NNN stock to conduct this scam esp since the stock is v illiquid?
    What NNN has done so far….it doesn’t seem illegal. Lisitng a company with just a business model is not uncommon, esp during the Dot.com days.
    Sounds to me that whoever’s trying to « sell » NNN stock as a « good » deal is the real culprit here.

    your question is really the center of this affair. But as I said earlier, too many things indicate that NNN or the people behind it have some connection to the scammers. (Clint Walker of NNN has confirmed that Unicorn Ventures, Artemis under another name, had made a substantial investment in their stock) And the overblown press releases from NNN certainly has helped the scammers in their « work ». Besides, if the CEO of NNN, Richard Walker of North Turramurra AU, is the same Richard Walker of North Turramurra AU that was involved in Life Wealth 8 (see earlier posts) he has a less than impressive track record.
    This and many other things have made me suspect that there might be links between NNN and the scammers.

    as the NNN guys are most certainly aware of the various blogs including this one, where people are reporting about the UV and AF activities, they would normally have issued some official communication telling about their standpoint in relation to these matters.

    The fact that they have not done so would tend to give some indication…

    Also, most NNN press-releases are talking about future probable goals, wishes and not yet reached achievements.

    BTW has any sharehloder got any annual report, invitation to an annual shareholders meeting, both of which any registered company is obliged to comply to ?

    (BTW I am not a shareholder, I was just harrassed by UV during several weeks almost every day, but the more they called the more I got suspicious…)

    yes, very quiet. No new pressreleases from NNN and the stock on Frankfurt seems to be steady around 3.30 euro with very little trading. Pablo is pursuing the the Nanopharm angle of this scam, but I have no idea if there has been any progress. I was wondering (as some others also have) what the people that have bought shares in NNN really are the owners of. Where is NNN really registered? Incite Media became NNN Europe and is registered in Switzerland, but is a subsidiary of NNN Inc. and I guess that it is that stock that is traded in Frankfurt. So who is behind NNN Inc? A Google search on NNNV.PK gives only a single name « Carmela Guarascio » and very little other information. So the big question right now is who owns who and what (if anything) are the shareholders owning?

    Hi, yes it has been relatively quiet, but I guess also Artemis or UV has not been very active so that there has not been a lot of news maybe they changed the Name and now are scamming under a different Name.
    At the moment I think the problem is also that the shares of NNN have been changed to Nano so that these are not listed anymore on the Stock. At least I do not know where to find the Nano.
    So at the moment the biggest sources of hope are on the hands of Mr. X, who promised some days ago something and on Pablo as Karsten says.

Went back to my files and had a look at the prospectus they sent me in september, where their « experts » stated that the NNN stock, then valued at 5.45 Euro would sell for 15 Euro in a couple of months. Well, today the NNN stock in Frankfurt is at 1.90 Euro. So much for their expertise.

    The whole thing is a frustrating scam. Don’t believe anything behind Artemis or Unicorn.

    We have done some investigation and found that there is a connection between Artemis Financial and European Launch Pad (http://www.europeanlaunchpad.com). The main person behind European Launch Pad is Edward Fitzpatrick living in Geneva and Vaduz. He is the one responsible and he is the one cheating everybody.

    It seams like that he and his umbrella company has done this kind of scam many times before and screwed over people and companies. I think net.tv was just of of those companies that got screwed as well, but who knows exactly.

    Interesting information. But since Clint Bauld works (or at least used to work ) for both European Launch Pad and Netnetnet (part of the executive team) and his joining the team in june 2006 is the very first entry in NNN:s « Milestones »-list I think that Netnetnet is not as innocent as it may seem. Also interesting is that NNN has not issued a press-release for over 4 months, the stock is down to 1.75 Euro with almost no trading. We seem to be in the dump phase.
    Would be interesting to hear more about the connection between Artemis and European Launch Pad.

    (1) There’s a new dubious investment firm called european launch pad who’s doing the same scam as Artemis?
    (2) Both European Launch Pad, Artemis and Unicorn are or were linked to NNN either through (a) the have the same address (b) NNN have key shareholders or directors who are linked to these Investment firms?

    What other pertinent factors link NNN to these scamming firms?
    Is there already an ongoing police investigation on either these investment firms or NNN?
    I’ve reasons to believe that this scam is now being brought outside of Europe and it’ll be very sad if more innocent people are being sucked into this con act.

    Angie,
    about your questions:
    (1) European Launch Pad (ELP) is not a new firm and is duly registered in the Swiss handelsregister. There are several factors linking ELP and NNN.

    (2)I have seen no proof of any links between ELP and Artemis/Unicorn. However it would be very interesting to hear what information Victim has about this connection. And I´m pretty sure there is one.

    The links between NNN and Artemis/Unicorn are among other things pressreleases from Unicorn stating to have made a substantial investment in NNN and the fact that I, among others, was urged by Artemis to call the telephone number on the NNN website and make sure that Artemis was « licensed » to sell NNN stock.
    I´m sure the police in several countries have been informed about Unicorn/Artemis, but I doubt that they have put any effort in pursuing non-existent companies showing all the typical signs of scam.
    There are too many things about NNN that do not seem right.
    Is this scam being brought outside of Europe? Would be nice to hear more about it.

    who are the auditors ?
    have shareholders received any invitation to an annual shareholders meeting ?
    Depending on the answers to these questions (I don’t know because I have not invested), anyone who sent money for shares to these guys should be able to draw his own conclusions.

    Other than that, it seems that nobody here has the answers to the « man in charge » questions here above.

    To « man in charge »:
    Had we known any of the answers to your questions we would not have spent so much time writing on this blog.
    Officcially the man in charge of NNN is the Australian Richard Walker who seems to have been involved in all kinds of more or less shady businesses. There seems to be connections between ELP and NNN and from there connections to Artemis and Unicorn. But how is still unclear.
    To Banana:
    NNN may have it´s HQ in Geneva but the stock people have been buying is NNN TV Inc. Incorporated in the United States. Little information can be found. No SEC filings available etc. Found this on the Business Week stock information page:
    « NET NET NET.TV, Inc. may have more financial risk than other companies in the Media industry as it is one of the most highly leveraged. Its Debt to Total Capital ratio stands at 657.40%. Additionally, an examination of near-term assets and liabilities shows that there are not enough liquid assets to satisfy current obligations. »
    Gives a little hint of what it is all about. BTW in Frankfurt NNN stock is
    as I write this down to 1 euro. And no pressreleases from NNN for over three months. Clearly signs of a dump phase.

    Would like to know what is the real substance of this company : location, employees, equipment, real state, cash-flow, turnover…. or perhaps it is just a p.o.box, a computer, a bank account, some « managers » receiving tremendeous salaries as long as there is cash left, and who will start all over again with new « companies », « business plans » and shareholders when it all falls down ?

    I’m sorry that you are dissapointed Man in Charge, but I think we are dealing with some very sophisticated crooks here. Just look at all the effort that was put into designing the Unicorn and Artemis websites. All the bogus pressreleases issued by these companies, with one purpose: to sell NNN stock and in some cases « converting » them to Nanopharm shares. I’m pretty shure that the man in charge has covered his tracks pretty well here. But there are some real people in this affair that must posess information that could lead to the man in charge.
    One person that might might know something is Ronald Flynn, the founder of GSBC, who more or less started what later became NNN. But he is hiding in the Phillipines and, as far as I can tell, slightly off his bat.
    Another person to look into is Richard Walker, the chief executive of NNN.
    Lawrence Liaw, the head of NNN Asia is another.
    And of course Clint Bauld, the man from European Launch Pad who started NNN in Europe.
    All these have left tracks on the internet that can be followed using Google, time and patience. But the real crooks behind the criminal part of this affair i.e. Unicorn and Artemis are not that easy to find. And since the Unicorn and Artemis websites are registered in the US and NNN Inc is an american company I have a feeling that we are dealing with very well organized crime.
    Sorry that I do not have a quick answer for you Man in charge. Hope you have better luck than I. However If you come up with some answers I’d love to hear them.

    good work Karsten !!!
    at least we have you able to find out about web site creation dates etc. I have no clues on these matters. Seems like thses guys are creating new « companies » quicker than anyone can follow. If you look at the norwegian site « Kredittilsynet » (governmental banking and finance authority) there is a list including 100’s of « companies » considered to deal with fraudulous activities (the list includes Unicorn Ventures and Artemis Financial), but not yet these newcomers….
    Idea : a web – site covering all such companies, including a forum (such as this one) for each company, someone investigating seriously each case, …. but this would require a full time job (or even several people to investigate in depth) could also be somehow « dangerous »…

    Gogol!
    The easiest way to find information about who is behind websites is to go to who.is and just type in the adress. That will give you a list of all relevant facts (exept when registered by Domains by Proxy). In many cases there is also the possibility to compare archived information. For instance it is quite interesting to learn that the Netnetnet.tv website initially was registered by a company in Malaysia. Gives you a hint of where that scam started.

    and by the way…. Fosse-McKenzie first called me 8-10 days ago, a couple of times. I did not have time to listen so he could not tell me what it was about. He said he would call again after 1-2 days. But now, no more news… It looks like they perhaps are following what people say on this site ?

    I have been investigating deep into this matter, and after reading most of the comments here.
    I can tell you all that you are targeting the victims and not the criminals.

    In this case the CRIMINALS are : Edward Fitzpatrick and Mark Valentine, please keep on reading, and be ready to change your mind.

    Many of you believe, wrongly, that the victims in this scam are the guilty ones, ( you are a victim too) he real story is simple, stupid dreamers, in this case Netnetnet people were used by the 2 real brains behind the scam, Edward Fitzpatrick and Mark Velentine.

    Their modus operandi is simple, they find companies with dreamers as management, offer then cash and a listing then, as they are inexperienced in most cases, the duo keep the cash and the dreamers get nothing but the legal problems, and they are VERY happy to see you all
    blaming the victims while they get on with the cash and find new dreamers.

    One can observe the NNN site seems to be not active anymore. So it can at least be assumed things have not evolved the way they hoped, of course also when one looks at the stock trade situation. However one may still wonder if this is because NNN is also among the « victims » of the real bad guys or not. It can be observed that the initial guy openly running NNN was sitting at ELP in Geneva. And, it would be logical now that NNN would come out with some kind of communication telling the public their real standpoint to these matters.
    So, well,…. No real 100% sure conclusion can be drawn anyway at this stage.

    Fitzpatrick is so carefull, that you won’t find his name even in the ELP page but he is the CEO, owner, president, he is way too clever.

    The same with an investment fund that Fitypatrick created with Valentine, I do not have solid information yet, but as it goes, the fund IS the boiler room.

    That is the place where they prepare the companies to be sold to victims like my client.

    Sorry to read this…. Looking at the Akeman site I can see it looks exactly like the ones of the other boiler-room companies discussed here. And even more, the banking and finance authorities in Sweden have declared Akeman to deal with illegal activities, already in january this year. Lots of fake « press-releases » from Akeman as well on internet.
    This is all fake : Akeman most certainly does not exist. Just try to send them a letter to their address in Spain, you will most certainly receive the letter in return with mention from the post office « unknown at this address ».

    It looks like the same gang is operating under various « broker-firm » names that are pure invention : these companies are actually registered nowhere, and the people calling being located nobody knows where, but probably in Asia. The names they are giving you are of course pure invention.

    Kimura-Financial is abviously also the same kind of fake company belonging to the same gang.

    in any case : DO NOT SEND ANY more MONEY, whatever the reason they might suggest. They will try to persuade you and and even tell you their lawyer will put pressure on you, but this is most likely total bluff.

    You can try to request them to sell your portolio now and send you your money back…. but I doubt this will succeed… good luck.

    by the way what is the « fantastic stock » these guys have pushed on you ?

The Company’s management would like to clarify to its shareholders and prospective investors that the only information to be relied upon regarding the Company is information directly released by the Company or contained in public information such as its SEC filings available at http://www.sec.gov.

    Hi client lostitall, and everyone…

    I have been following this case for more than a year since I was first harrassed by UV who tried to sell me nnn shares. I found soon enough this looked very dangerous so I am lucky I never sent any money anywhere. But :
    Look at the German site that has now appeared since May-June :

    Just google search : kimura-financial pantera

    Then you find this other blog under “wallstreet-online…..”

    Several boiler-room-brokers (Fosse-McKenzie, Kimura, Akeman, ….) have been « selling » shares in a company called « Pantera Petroleum ». The happy shareholders are now realising they have been cheated… It seems Pantera has entered into some agreement with a « company » or a « fund » called « FTS Financial Investments Ltd », that has promised them some financing up to 10 Mio USD.

    This « FTS Financial Investments Ltd » is supposed to have its address Seefeldstrasse 69, 8008 Zürich, Switzerland.

    I found this a little bit similar to the « netnetnet » situation, where this NNN company was supposed to have purchased this other company « Incite Media » for a sum announced 26 or 27 mio Swiss Francs. It looks like this money was supposed to be in NNN’s possession once shareholders had made their investments, however one can suppose perhaps this money never went to the company but stayed in some bank account in Taiwan or was used anyway, by the « boiler-room-brokers » for some other purpose.

    I suppose your theory is that NNN and / or incite Media were then cheated as well like the shareholders, that the real bad guys just kept the money after having « sold » shares that were supposed to finance the whole deal, and that the company as well as sharehoders are now just stuck with their money gone into the real crooks pockets ?

    I was on a business trip today to Zürich, and as I had some spare time I went to have a look at what is to be found at FTS’s address « Seefeldstrasse 69, 8008 Zürich ». There was no company or name there that looked like « FTS Financial Investments Ltd ». However a big office called « REGUS », it seems like a service company that is hosting a lot of various organisations, companies, etc…

    Just google-search REGUS, … or look at regus.com and regus.ch …, you also find a picture of the building.

    When google-searching « FTS Financial Investments Ltd » nothing is to be found except reference to this deal where FTS is supposed to finance somehow USD 10 Mio in favour of Pantera Petroleum.

    So the questions one may ask are :

    * Does this fund FTS really exist ?
    * isn’t it just being used by the crooks who have made Pantera believe they will get financing, and made potential shareholders believe there is some real financing coming, but the only real money being the one coming from the shareholders getting into the crooks pockets ?

    Well his is just a theory but putting all these elements together, this seems to be the most likely situation.

    It is not a theory, it is how they operate, there are many links between Valentine, Fitzpatrick and several companies cheated out of their money and management deep into troubles because of the clever way they use to cover up their fraud.

    Valentine was in jail already, the FBI got him once, the link is here look for it, so now he is the puppet master and Fitzpatrick is the puppet, but just in that way, they are a team and they cheat people.

    More to come, I am getting other people contacting me with similar stories in several different companies, all the same pattern as Netnetnet, the one known to you all , but by no means the one and only.

    management = victims

    Hi CL,
    Do you think the constellation Fosse-McKenzie / Pantera Petroleum is the same ? I mean, is Pantera also a victim, or is this a fake company. See the German forum on this case …

    Pantera Petroleum has at least issued a warning about Fosse-McKenzie, claiming they have nothing to do with these guys.

    Why has NNN then not issued such a warning ? and what about Clint Bauld (supposed to be responsible for NNN) sitting in ELP in Geneva (belonging to Fitzpatrick) ? is Clint Bauld / ELP then a victim or part of the boiler-room guys ?

    My reliable source tells me that NNN has been using the promise of generous share distribution to « acquire » other media companies. However i heard that they’ve renegate on their commitments to these companies and are now being sued.

    Whether or not NNN’s a victim or the bad guys, I’m not absolutely sure. But I think these companies who have been « bought » by NNN are the ones suffering. They had a viable business to begin with and was lured into NNN’s promise and now they’re left high and dry.
    The above is based on what I heard about NNN Asia who has been conducting these « acquisition » through Lawrence and another company called Advance Interactive Technologies (CEO Alex Thian) is also involved.

    It seems, you in here are much further on investigation matters, and it’s very interesting to read through this forum. I would be very pleased to get in direct contact just to share infos.

    I did actually contact a german TV-magazin called « Akte 08 » to provide publicity on that matter. How to get the whole story to interpol ?

    Hello everybody!
    Back from vacation.
    @gogol:
    Here is an e-mail respose i got on december 12 2007 in answer to a question I sent to NNN about their part in the ongoing Unicorn/Artemis scam:

    « Dear Mr.

    Thank you for your email. We are a publicly listed company and as such people are free to buy and sell our stock on any registered exchange or in private. We can not and will not comment on what individual shareholders do as it is inappropriate to do so. In saying that we have no contract with these external organizations. Whilst it is painful to us, we also have to preserve the rights of shareholders as we have pointed out in our code of corporate governance which we published on 8th February this year which states (amongst other things)

    · Netnetnet.tv will respect the legitimate rights of shareholders and facilitate the effective exercise of those rights.
    · Netnetnet.tv will recognise legal and other obligations to all legitimate stakeholders.

    This is our code of ethics that we are bound by, so if any legitimate shareholder has been effected then we will do what we can to help.

    Again we are a company bound by listing rules and company laws, whilst the temptation is to put out a press release, that issue will be decided in a calm intelligent manner. We have had discussions with the proper regulatory authorities as to what the appropriate action on this matter is.

    In respect of our connection with Global Satellite, I again refer to a recent market release that states:

    Proposed transaction with GSBC
    In a press announcement dated 20th December 2006, it was announced that netnetnet.tv had a strategic partner (known as) GSBC. The effect of the announcement was that Netnetnet.tv would receive unfettered access and exclusive territorial rights to GSBC products. The main reason for signing the letter of intent was to give Netnetnet.tv a core technology to utilize throughout the areas that Netnetnet.tv wished to pursue. Since signing the letter of intent, GSBC has breached a number covenants and in whole has been unable to supply promised technology.
    Given the above factors, Netnetnet.tv has informed GSBC that the agreement was void.
    Netnetnet.tv is now producing (and owns) its own far superior technology. However with the core purchase of Incite Media recently we are able to offer a full hardware and software solution on a global basis, something that GSBC was never able to do.
    The management of the Issuer believes that this is a far better outcome for shareholders.

    In respect of Incite Media and Netnetnet.tv, as reported Incite is a wholly owned subsidiary of Netnetnet.tv and is changing its name to netnetnet.tv Europe.

    If you or any other shareholder are in Geneva or Zurich then you are welcome to come to our offices. We would kindly ask you to make an appointment before doing so. Furthermore, if you know of any Netnetnet shareholder who has been directly affected then please let us know.

    Regards

    The same defense Pantera is using: « We have nothing to do with the boiler room companies » But as Client Lostitall suggests, behind the boiler rooms there are the « funds » (NNN – European Launch Pad, Pantera – The Swiss FTS) that « finance » these companies. I guess we have to find the links between the masterminds behind the funds (Fitzpatrick/Valentine?) and the boiler rooms to get to the bottom of this affair. One person that must have valuable information is as gogol suggests Clint Bauld of ELP/NNN.
    I have tried to get some answers from Ronald Flynn, the founder of GSBC (see the mail from NNN above) but he ony sees himself as cheated by the people from NNN.

    Hello again!
    Found out this about the Fitzpatrick – Todd Moore Thaler Fund:
    At the end of January they held an investor conference where they promoted different companies. Most companies got a 15 min presentation, Netnetnet got half an hour. Another company promoted was Nexis International. Guess who is on the board of directors? Richard Walker and Wolfgang Kyser (also directors of Netnetnet). Yet another company was Sequenti who on their website has a quote by Richard Walker of Netnetnet.
    They also promoted their partner TMF The Marketing Fund (who according to many pressreleases was involved with NNN)
    BTW the Nexis stock graph looks a lot like the NNN one. From 2 euro i january down to 0.30.
    The Fitzpatrick-Moore-Valentine MO, as Client Lostitall states, seems to be to find or form companies promote them and let their boiler rooms loose. Pump up the stock and then dump them.

    Got this information from another victim:

    Dear Sir,

    I, as many others were duped by Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Valentine.
    They organize investors conferences and under the Thaler Fund scheme
    they bring in the investments that the companies they represent are
    so eager to get.
    In short, they screw investors and companies.

    What happens is this: the Companies sign agreements with the thaler fund
    in exchange for a public listing, the thaler fund then has the authority
    to raise funds for these companies but we now know what happens next.

    Some cash finds its way to the bank accounts of the companies,
    enough for a period of time while the boiler room find more fools
    in the open market and they sell their positions.

    These are very experienced guys and they fear not being sued because mostly the scheme is well guarded, but not 100%. Valentine went to Jail already.

    Clint Bauld might be mentioned in several of these companies but surely
    he is a pawn in this chess game.

    Mr. Moore, no idea, maybe history already, as some of the other names … focus on the duo Valentine/Fitzpatrick.

    In the case of Mr. Walker, probably he was used and abused as well, no one is that idiot to be involved in so many frauds so openly.

    Make no mistake, this has been done before and that is what landed Mr. Valentine in jail, now wiser after the experience he knows that the ones that will fall next are those in the management position, the ones that naively signed the agreements with them under the thaler fund.

    What is clear is that Mr. Valentine and Mr. Fitzpatrick work together and
    they are the ones leading the scheme and they are seen together in these
    investors conferences luring companies and investors to part with their
    possessions.

    ELP, Thaler Fund, Ravilon Finance all have the same root , The Fitzpatrick/Valentine.

    Soon they might close down these fronts and open up some more.

    If we are some or many, lets initiate a class action against some of these frauds.

    Good Luck.

    I agree. Very interesting information. In the case of NNN I’m more sceptical than Angie. I’m pretty sure that the principals of NNN were more interested in pumping their stock than building a real company. A company that now for some time has not had a working website. I wonder where this leaves the former Incite Media, now NNN Europe, at least that was a working company before NNN paid 26 million swiss francs for it.
    BTW Pinksheets has some very entertaining filings from NNN, so anyone interested can check where their invested money went. Go there and search for « NNNV ».

    Hi,
    well according to a Interim Financial Report of 30 September 2007 that can be found om pinksheets.com, NNN lists as « assets » an investment « shares in group company » to 26.000.000 Swiss Francs.
    But the deal was probably done with NNN shares. And Incite Media is officially NNN (Europe) with Richard Walker as president. Other interesting reading is that from June 2006 to September 2007 NNN had revenues of 10 (ten) Swiss Francs and expenses totaling 598.669 giving them a net loss of 598.659 Swiss Francs. Another document on Pinksheet tells us that that the Thaler Foundation (Valentine?) owns 16.56% of the shares. An equally big post is owned by Gosnells Portfolio Inc (?). Festus Consulting, that according to press releases from NNN helped in making the deal with Incite Media owns 5 million shares or 5.96%.

    Sones: I would guess that ELP and the boiler rooms work both ways. Some legitimate companies are approached and lured into their net and some companies are formed by the Fitzpatrick – Valentine group with the sole purpose of conducting a scam (I beleive that NNN is such a company).
    Some documentation of the former method can be found on the Internet concerning ELP, Liska Biometry and Galton Biometrics. Interesting reading.

    Hello gogol
    Well, I’m not sure. All available evidence points in the direction of Incite Media being a genuine working company with real people etc. I don’t know if the company had any financial trouble or what motivated them to throw themselves into the arms of NNN. But as far as I can tell, they
    moved their premises, relinked their website to NNN, threw out the other directors and made Richard Walker of NNN president and Roland Kümin of Incite Media vice president. More than 8 months have passed and there has been nothing but silence from the usually press-release prone companies NNN and the former Incite Media.
    When GSBC in Thailand (the root of NNN) made similar deals with companies in Australia and New Zeeland (Wallflower, a company very much like Incite Media) these companies at least kept their name and website and have since managed to get back into business.
    The failure of the former Incite Media to show any signs of life makes me wonder if not some parts of the management were very much aware of what was going on.

    Hello again!
    This quote from one of the blogs written by GSBC founder Ronald Flynn on August 17th might shed some light on who is behind NNN. The reference to « edward » must be the Mr. Fitzpatrick that has been mentioned here before:

    “Net.Net.Net TV”
    This company was originally set up as a licensee of GSBC to handle Europe and go public on the German stock exchange. Unfortunately because Steven Tung was unsuccessful in extorting money from me he screwed our deal with Net.Net.Net TV buy telling the directors of that company that he had cancelled his deal with GSBC and would supply the screens to them personally.

    This of course stopped any sales of smart screens being sold to Net.Net.Net TV by GSBC and allowed Cybersys which is owned by Steven Tung to sell Smart screens at a 40% increase and share the profits with GSBC-HK. Of course edward the owner of Net.Net.Net TV did not care as he had raised more than ten millon euro in cash in Germany and left the company keeping all the money he raised and then out right screwing the German shareholders and his partners in Thailand and Australia. »

    Interesting news,

    I did not have time to focus in NNN as I have other clients and the investigation is still progressing:

    All management of NNN was fired by Edward Fitzpatrick and Mark Valentine, part of the silence is that now they control the website and they are not talking.

    They are buying time as many are asking, where is my money ?

    The new CEO is Roland Kümin.

    Walker and Bauld are history for around 6 months !!!!!

    It took me sometime to get another shareholder and talk to us, here is what we found out.

    The thaler Fund in Liechtenstein is operated on behalf of the duo of Fitzpatrick and Valentine, the have gotten a few million dollars selling the NNN story and just a drop of it found its way to NNN, Walker was a hired director and apparently found out about all the scheme a bit too late and all hell broke loose when he demanded an explanation.

    Bauld used to work for Fitzpatrick and was just a professional office boy helping out in all the projects as the person that should report back to Fitzpatrick, why is he not there ? no idea yet but we keep on investigating.

    This person is well informed and has tried unsuccessfully to get his money back while given all type of positive stories and news.

    In short, management was used by the DUO, when it was of no use anymore out they go and a new team steps in, for how long ?

    Your money is in Fitzpatrick and Valentine hands, make no mistake about it.

    The continuing scheme by artemis financial is still the conversion of nanopharm shares into the shares of the mining company. At the moment the price discussed for the takeover of the shares is quite high with 3,5 € a share and therefore very tempting, but you all know what not to do, especially as the additional input price is again more than the initial investment.

However, before I put some more money onto their account, I’d like to check whether they can be trusted. And in the meantime, I am more and more convinced that I’ve been cheated…

    I suppose you Skysurfer was first called by some guy doing a « survey » asking you some basic questions about investment habits, etc, ? Then a few days later you just got a friendly call from someone presenting himself as working for Portway, but who was « not trying to sell anything » ? Then he called again starting to talk about some interesting company and placement that he happened to be aware of ? …. well, just like all the other guys here contacvted by various such « brokers » : same people, different names… In any case you can be sure the guy calling is not located in France as he claims.

    If they really buy stock or just fake it may differ. And even if you really get
    the actual stock you will probably be sitting with worthless or unsellable paper.
    Two questions: In what company is Portway selling stock (boiler rooms usually have only one item to sell) and what bank does Portway use for money transfer?

    – Where are they located and how long are their arms?
    – If they find out who is trying to disturb their business significantly, would they be able to do any harm (e.g., sending out their « dogs »…?)

    Another thing we all can do is continue writing on this and other blogs.
    When I was first contacted by Artemis Financial I Googled their name and first only found their pressreleases, it was only when I dug further into the search results that I found this and other blogs. The more traffic this blog gets the further up in the Google search list this information lands. (I think)
    The financial authorities in Europe have also been very active lately. Whenever someone mentions a new boiler room name and I Google that I usually find the warnings from the financial authorities at the top of the list.
    The best advice is of course one that has long been the mantra of the financial authorities world-wide: Never ever make deals with cold-calling companies whatever they call themselves.
    Can they do us any harm? I guess that the scammers are prepared. When the word is out about one boilerroom company they just fold their tent and pop up under a new name. And the masterminds behind it all are very good at covering their tracks.
    So let’s go on sharing information about the scammers (and be aware that they are also reading these blogs) so that we can at least prevent others to fall into their traps. And hopefully some day we will get the whole picture of who is behind and where all that lost money went.

    As some of you are asking what to do next, here is a suggestion:

    Lets open a blog, « the Fitzpatrick Valentine complain area », who is well experienced to do this?
    We can then link it to as many financial pages as possible.

    Lets complain independently to every possible authority, I am preparing files and will send them to the appropriate ones.

    Now, some more information :

    Roland Kuemin was fired as well, he replaced Walker and please get this guys, Richard Walker is no longer there, he was fired as well my source confirmed yesterday.

    Mr. Walker was a hired director, apparently he has lend his services to other listed companies, a common practice, and as well served in anothers represented by Thaler Fund.

    In short, he just got paid to do his job, file documents and prepare prospects, don’t waste time and energy there as nothing will happen.

    Mr. Wolf, apparently another director for hire and is a resident of Germany.

    CONFIRMED: Mr. Edward Fitzpatrick lives between Geneva and Liechtenstein.

    I have no interest in Mr. Walker, Bauld or Wolfe, every source confirms the same, they were just pawns in the game and for hire.

    The focus , Fitzpatrick and Valentine, they will keep doing harm and stealing money from victims like you all if we do not spread the word.

    The trick that really works is:

    They get management, make you believe they are responsible when things don’t work out and then get your attention somewhere else because you all follow the wrong lead.

    Thaler – Liechtesntein

    Fitzpatrick – Geneva – Liechtenstein

    Valentine – Still doing some work here.

    The rest are the leads they want and need you to follow while they cover their traces.

    I invested with Portway Capital into a company called Asia Electrical Power (AEPW:OTC). Despite my wish not to contact me every week they started to offer me swapping « my » shares into another one if I will invest additional money. I denied this and asked them not to offer me this kind of deals. I was prepared to wait what will happend with AEPW shares in the future because I still believed the facts that all prospects are correct.

    After two weeks I was contacted again. They offered me to enter into a private deal which will secure my shares if I will buy additional shares of AEPW. Even I told them that I don’t want to invest another money they presured me into saying yes on the end of conversation. To their credits I must say that their technique of conversation is very sophisticated. 30 minutes later I wrote them that I will not pay any other money and asked them to getting me a bid for selling my shares. They said me that my account is frozen now and that I must paid additional money because I agreed with that per phone. So I propably lost a few thousands of dollars and I because I am naive I became a potentional debtor.

    But every thing has two sides. It was/is/will be expensive but important experience for my life which can prevent me against losing more money in the future.

    Hello, warning the scam goes on….

    They are starting again with another financial advisor company, another company selling shares. Just got today a call from someone trying to warm up « owners » (?) of Nanopharm technologies shares. (ex « owners » of netnetnetTV shares…) their phone number 18875159612
    They inform about a restructuration in Nanopharm tech society and would make next a new proposition to exchange against shares of a new company, with good profit in a short term…
    If you put more money in the boiling-room… of course.

    I just recieved some sort of certificate for the 1000 shares of netnetnet.tv shares taht were sold to me by Artemis Financial in 2007.

    I had given up on this whole story thinking that there was oing to be no return on my investment…

    Now I have a piece of paper saying that I own 1000 shares… I have no Idea what I am supposed to do with this and am not sure what I should do…

    I doubt that I will recover the 4000 euro that I originally invested but it would be nice to get some of it back at some stage!!

    Any ideas on what I should be doing with this certificate are greatly welcomed….

    I will be away for the next two weeks

    Pantera Petroleum & UNISC do really exist, but, of course, have nothing to do with those crooks.
    There is two obvious trick in their pattern:
    – always promise an incredible return, when, at the same time, stumping greedy people (meaning that they are not, but only have those fantastic inside connections)
    – always attract you with a relatively small amount of investment, and then attract you to put more in, or you might loose it all.

    I documented all conacts & names and will send the whole stuff to Interpol, but with very limited hope.

    Hello,
    One thing that can be noticed is that while the boiler rooms are pushing a specific stock there seems to be a lot of press releases coming from the company in question making it easier for the boiler rooms to fool prospective buyers. And even if the companies exist (these days proof of existance means having a web page and being registered at a penny stock exchange) it does not mean that the company is a good investment. Look at NetNetNet.tv (The company that initiated this blog) today. When it was pushed by Unicorn Ventures and Artemis Financial it was at over 4 euros in Frankfurt would in six monts be at about 12 euros we were told. A lot of press releases from the company helped us beleive in the rosy future. Today it stands at 0.53 euro with virtually no trading. No more press releases, no proof of activity.
    I beleive there is a stronger link between the boiler room companies and the stock they are pushing than we might think.

    The police forces might be building up their file and we might never know what will really be done.
    In any case, seing the money back seems like a long shot.

    I made direct contact with the company whose stock they sold me. It seems to really exist, but who knows for sure. There answer is a bit to vague to be taken 100% seriously.

    The trouble with those scams seems to be that they document seriously their case: if you check on internet, you will really find the companies and people that they mention, but they generally have nothing to do with the scammers who are just using them to get your confidence.

    I did sue Artemis at the police some time ago. The police did say that they know Unicorn Ventures and Artemis Financial very well and that there are some investigations running (e.g. they have spoken to the owner of netnetnet.tv).
    But to be honest, I fear that there will be a very little chance to get them tracked down. All phone numbers lead to some switch boxes and it is not possible to find out where the call was coming from.
    The policeman I have spoken to told me that the chance to get some money back is equal zero…

    They offered a few million NNN shares plus cash investments as part of their acquisition offer. But nothing materalised and both lawrence and alex are now giving all kinds of excuses for their backing out in their promises.
    Is this part of the scam as well?
    If the company NNN itself is not a real and honest company then the intentions behind offering the shares can be considered fraudulent?

    scammed by netnetnet.tv dit :

    From your statement, you got an offer to be acquired, shares and cash, if you did not proceed with the transaction, then consider yourself lucky. If you did not deliver your company in exchange of shares of NNN, then basically in your case you have nothing to complain about, in fact, be quiet, in a court of law if NNN can say the same about you, like it or not, believe it or not.
    You are probably the only one that should keep away from all this mess, if you did not give money to NNN then what is your claim ? A broken promise? PLEASE ! did you deliver the company to NNN ? you also did not fulfill your part then … it can be very messy for you, be clever, you have nothing to gain, you also have the names wrong, forget local management, whomever they are, a waste of time, this is a sophisticated duo, Fitzpatrick and Valentine, the rest are victims as well.

    I have filled complains in the name of my client in Europa and also in the USA, remember guys that there is a listing there and the FBI once got Mark Valentine, so there is a precedent.

    The only advise I can give you all is start bombarding the authorities with emails, whomever listed the addresses here is aware that it might be the only way, drive them crazy with emails and complains, here is just us having fun and getting nowhere.

    From your very defensive response, I’ve a very strong suspicion that you are one of the parties involved in the NNN Asia attempt at dubbing people in asia.
    Coincidentally an email was written to lawerence prior to this so perhaps this is the response?
    Your logic that just because one has not been directly impacted by the scam doesn’t mean the crime does not exist.
    Eg. a famous Pimp and a prostitute
    Pimp approaches a guy touting the prostitute services. Guy does not take up the pimp’s offer but felt harressed and decides to report it to the police. The pimp will get arrested because in the first place pimping (just like scamming) is a criminal offense!
    So yes, just like the brokers, NNN and guys involved in NNN Asia were no better than pimps touting a bad deal.
    The CAD in Singapore has a good description on such scams. Anyone affected by NNN in Singapore should also make a report.

    Fitzpatrick, I know you are reading this, Valentine you too, we are passing a lot of info about you to SEC and some other market regulators, you might get off the hook but wherever you go we will make sure to pass information about you 2 guys, rumors are that you are involved in a new venture in Geneva, there we go, lets see the reaction of this people when they know about the new investigation going on.

    client Lostitall,
    You seem to be the most well informed person writing on this blog. Had I lost any money I would be the first to agree that action is what counts. But since this blog and others prevented me from losing money I think that the « bla bla bla » here serves that purpose well. It is important that information about these shady characters and firms can be easily found on the web and I know that a lot of people have banded together on account of it. And since Unicorn, Artemis and whatever they call temselves now will be out there trying to scam people it is essential that the word about them is spread.
    If i remember correctly you were the first to point in the Fitzpatrick/Valentine direction and that seems to be the correct. However I agree with gogol that it would be interesting to hear what « the small fry » at NNN had to tell about the affair. And if somebody ever told the whole story from the beginnings at GSBC in Thailand, via the boiler rooms and NNN, to the (for the investors) hopefully happy ending that would one hell of a read.
    So, in conclusion, keep this blog alive. Post any information you see fit.
    Out there, right now, somebody is cold called and getting scammed. Perhaps we can make them see through all the smoke from the boiler rooms.

    Hi Karsten,

    You are right about the need to communicate and share information, bla bla bla, what i meant with action is that for those who lost money acting now is the only way.

    I arrived here by accident, looking for information about Fitzpatrick and Valentine, someone posted something before I did it, and google did the rest.

    The pair has been at it for a long time, they are very clever and convincing that’s why I have insisted on letting people know that the management of all the companies they take on the thaller fund are as much victims as the poor guys parting with their monies.

    We have been hired to investigate, one piece of advise to anyone here with the knowhow, start a blog, clearly mentioning the pair, get the word out, link it with all financial pages, authorities and get their pictures displayed, they can be found on line, I left some links sometime ago where you can see their faces, check it up, scroll up.

    I consider myself just a web investigator when it comes to the internet, I have no idea about creating blogs or web pages, but if words like thaller fund, their names and the scammed companies are mentioned, sure a lot more can be achieved with a site just dedicated to the pair.

    Get the crooks, the process is still on going, we are sending and reporting the pair and sure it makes a difference, if you lost money, if you were scammed, complain and explain the authorities, the more they come the more they must act.

    I am a victim of Artemis Financial with a loss of about 30000 euros. I live in Germany. I started investing longer than one year ago. They always ask for weird small amounts of money, so that I can afford it, and promising huge benifits in the short term, what never materializes! I never got a cent from them, and now I have lost my hope. It is just too weird to be true.

    I am a humble worker who earns his money from mornings to evenings every day. I have already tried to contact the international police here.

    And Edward, as I know you read this blog as well, be aware, I am going to nail you to the fucking wall and you are going to love your shitty Ferrarri, your nice house in Geneva, and if you think you can hide at your girlfriends house office in Liechtenstein, you are very much mistaken. 😉

    Hello you, please keep us informed about the prosecution of Mr. Fitzpatrik.
    Does he have to do also with the Artemis scam?

    I gave last chance to Artemis to return my money, I will then go to police to press charges against them, hopefully they are arrested soon.
    However one of those advisors told me I have to count on the fact that I lost my money… the sons of the bitch.

    Kamar :
    The problem is, police would not know who to arrest in your case. Artemis has given you false names and nothing is likely to be found at their so-called address in Budapest. But the key of the mystery would perhaps be, to be found through the NNN and ELP thread, the only connection where real names, people and addresses are to be found.

    Dear intrested persons
    In october 08 I had my last contact with Artemis Financial. Dear Thomas Webb promised me that I just have to invest a few more money to enable him to sell all my shares. The money should be transfered until end of october (I had to pay my taxes ….). By this time, I was no more able to contact Mister Webb, neither by e-mail nor by telephone. I came into a very bad situation because of the taxes I had to pay. I went to the local police to accuse Artemis and Unicorn Ventures. The local police contacted the police of St. Gallen Switzerland (address see above) which is engaged with this case.
    From october to november Artemis did not contact me anymore, until last friday. Be aware, they won’t stop to let you in hope that you can get some money back!!!
    If it can help in any way, here the phone numbers I was called from:
    +18853321793

Sean Kelly now runs the filmproduction company Antshake in the UK, who on their website boast about their connections to the Thaler Fund. Antshake is registered at the same address in the UK as Netnetnet.tv Ltd (the genesis of NNN).

    and another observation about Mr Fitzpatrick. Remember the pressreleases from NNN regarding their cooperation with TMF The Marketing Fund? Well, TMF had the same address as ELP and NNN and according to the Handelsregister was another one of Fitzpatricks companies. His partner in this venture was Ignacio Aguilera who on january 26th 2009 left the company. Seems like a lot of Fitzpatricks partners are leaving him lately. Have they seen the light or is Fitzpatrick packing up his businesses in Switzerland and moving everything to Liechtenstein?

    « WJG.F stock closed at a price of 0.30 yesterday. Currently, professional brokers and fund managers estimate the stock of NET NET NET.TV to be heading for a price of 9.4 over the next 12 months. This represents a return of 3033.3% on the stock. The average 12 months target seen by StockTargets users is 0.74, which suggests a future performance of 146.6%. »

    few weeks later, I get another call form Fosse recomending to convert to
    Wireless Eyes which should go publich within next weeks. So I did.
    Since this company did not had a ticker yet, I was unable to track, which was actually very bad. I had numerous email correspondence with Fosse because of delayes and no fisability. I couldnt go out of this deal. When the crises started it was even less chance to do something. 2 weeks ago I get a letter from
    Plamer Brown Management, saying they have taken over the Fosse clients. Today, Richard Shore called and proposed to convert my ‘shares’
    into a new company ….lab which shall go public in 3-5 weeks. The thing ist that they ask to transfer some more of my money to make next deal happen. Alternatively I will sit on my WirelessEyes for the next years.

    Dear all,

    I’m also one of those who were scammed in 2007 by Unicorn Ventures (they called themselves at the time) and sent 4 000 € to Taiwan for shares in NNN.
    A month ago I was contacted by another firm. See E-mail below. I forwarded the mail with the attachments to the swedish finans board and asked if they knew anything. They have a list of fake companies and the company below was under investigation and was on the list a week later. Their scam was to sell shares in a so called OTC-company which is a company where you only can sell your shares if you have the permission from the company to sell them. So it’s real shares but they have no value.

    Dear Mr. ,
    Further to our conversation earlier, please find for your immediate attention our company introduction letter and a brief prospectus on Caduceus Medical Technologies Inc., Legacy Global Wealth’s current strong buy recommendation.

    Domains registered at Godaddy, answering machines at the given phone number, lots of press releases from these « companies » in the internet. Probably the same as with all the other boiler room firms…

    I think I will never ever see one cent of my money again! But I’d be interested in making this information available to a broader public in order to prevent others from being as foolish as I was (well, the prospect of making good money seems to be an old dream of mankind – some people succeed like many brokers of « real » companies who were probably also responsible for the current financial crisis, and some people do not, like me and other scammed victims…)

    If you have already been in contact with authorities I am sure you will all have recognized that they will not succeed in this case. We have to take the initiative as a private working group!

    The conversations must be made public, if the law can’t stop Fitzpatrick and Valentine for now, then let others hear how they operate.

    A blog can be created, I understand is quite simple and there the links should be available for download.

    Next step in their scam – shut down the companies under intense heat and pretend nothing ever happened.

    It is clear now that Fitzpatrick is the man in charge of this companies and Valentine is the brain behind the scams, I was told that Valentine does the thinking and Fitzpatrick acts like a clever puppet as he seems to be unable to do anything without Valentine.

    The case is open and ongoing, sooner or latter they will fall again !

    A warning! A company calling themselves IRS & Partners (Hong-Kong they claim) are approaching people who have bought Netnetnet.tv stock and initially claming that they have clients that are willing to buy the stock at prices on the same level as Artemis sold them. « No strings attached » they say. Then there comes the small detail of « warranties » that the Netnetnet.tv stock owner has to pay before the stock can be sold.
    IRS & Partners are on the warning list of the financial authorities in Sweden as well as those in Hong Kong.

    Typical boiler room procedure seems to be now totally fulfilled :

    First some false broker firm sells fake shares to their victims. Then they milk the cow as long as people are stupid enough to send more money for new transactions, share swaps, « bonds » and other things that they actually do not understand, and even for having their shares « sold » at some miraculous price regardless of market value then down to zero.

    Then when there is nobody left who believes anymore in these guys, a new fake « lawyer firm » comes in and pretends to defend all the victims together against the first crooks, again against sending advance fees and expenses and whatever amounts these fake lawyers might justify. Some people will still fall for the trick, just see how « serious » these fake lawyers (IRS & Partners) look on their web-site.

    God knows how many victims will suffer in silence, as most people will not tell their friends and relatives how stupid they have been, not even to authorities who can in any case, do nothing. Probably some cases will end up in divorces, family tragedies, … At the same time the crooks probably travel first class, drive the most luxurious cars and live like kings.

    Hello all!
    I guess it was just what we expected as Fitzpatrick closed shop in Switzerland and moved his operations to Liechtenstein. Have been approached by yet another boilerroom. Europe Ventures (has been mentioned here before) trying to sell Tombstone Exploration. Was called by « Peter » last thursday with some fantastic news that was going to skyrocket the stock. When I told him that I suspected that he was calling from a boilerroom he claimed that he did not know the meaning of the word! (I have the whole conversation recorded). Despite this and my opinion that Tombstone was a Pump and Dump stock, « Peter » insisted on mailing me his direct number and documentation that Europe Ventures was a licenced brokerage firm in Italy. Needless to say, I never received that e-mail.

    This guy David called again 3-4 days later. I was looking forward to getting this call, as we have some indication these guys may perhaps be sitting in Kuala Lumpur / Malaysia… (their web site registered in Malaysia and it has been mentioned at several occasions that many of these guys may be hiding there).

    He called, announced himself as David from North Point…

    So I said : Hi David, how’s the weather in Kuala Lumpur ?
    he said : FINE !!!!!
    I said : sooo you are then calling fromKuala Lumpur ?
    he said : er… well, no, our company is in Hong Kong, what game are you playing anyway ?
    I said : Well, as we know many boiler room / scam companies are located in reality in Kuala Lumpur, stealing money from people…
    The conversation went on, he mentioned « banks are stealing money from people anyway, don’t you agree ? « …. well, he promised he would call back at the end of last week but I have never heard anything from him anymore.

    Hello,
    Just a comment on what Stones wrote about the boilerrooms always talking english. As most calls seem to be preceded by a « survey » in english all cold calls that I have heard of are conducted in english. Many of the callers do not have english as their native language though. In my case the initial callers were women (« Helen Harper and « Natalie Green »), and despite their english sounding names both had a latin accent. The second calls were by men. The Artemis one was american and the man from Europe Ventures had an accent that I guess was russian. I have been sent recordings by others and in those cases all sounded as english natives. I guess nobody has an idea about how many people work in this « industry » but it would be interesting to establish some form of pattern.
    I´m pretty sure that the people behind Unicron Ventures also are behind Artemis Financial. Both pushing the same stock (NNN), websites registered the same day etc. Are the firms claiming to have an office in Europe part of the same ring? Or is there a pattern to be found in website registration (dates, registered by what company etc)? Can there be patterns found in website design and content? It would be interesting to hear if anyone on this blog has noticed any similarities between boilerrooms.

    Now Evans and Stern (website: www(dot)evansandstern(dot)com) are approaching holders of Medical Connections Holdings (MCTH.OB) stock and claim to be willing to buy it back at 6 times the current list price, providing that you buy stock in G&G Mining Corp.
    Evans and Stern are interesting because they don’t even have a physical adress or phone number on their website. They have taken over the « business » of Highland International Advisors.
    The buying back of Medical Connections has also been offered by Rifkin Weiss & associates. There is an interesting investigation about this « company » on antifraudintl.org/showthread.php?t=23729.
    And Medical Connections itself was recently in a pump and dump scheme that drove the stock from 20 cents to 1 dollar and 50 cents in a couple of days. Now it is dumped and slowly falling back to where it started.
    Another firm to look out for is Optima Global Trading Co. Ltd. Ghana.
    They are not as sophisticated as the other firms (they have a gmail email address) but they are out there trying. So look out.

A so-called « Essential Market News » newsletter… The funny thing is that nowhere it says who is publishing this, where it comes from, etc… No sender mentioned on the envelope either, the stamp just mentions « postage paid » with some bird-like logo followed by AE – some numbers and DXB. No clue where this comes from…

    well well what is this all about ? some writing about the potential in investing in Gold (ah-ha ??? see posts here above about this scam company in Hong Kong), some writing about big well known companies such as Adobe, LG Electronics, Oracle Corp,

    and….

    YES !!! perhaps this is the new SUPER-FANTASTIC Company in which to invest now ? :

    MONTAVO Inc. ( see also montavo dot com…)

    This company is providing some super-fast-growing advertisement tool via mobile phones, the newsletter mentions 150’000 new businesses accessed each month… euuuhhh well, …. looks familiar, no ?

    Hello all,
    I had the exact same experience as Gogol recently. The « survey » generated a letter (yes, a paper one) with the same content as described by Gogol. The only exception was that my letter was pushing Caduceus Medical Technologies, but when the boiler room called some weeks later they where pushing Tombstone Exploration. The funny thing is that there was no return adress, no contact information in the letter. Guess this is part of the tactics. First « survey », then a generic letter and if that letter is not returned as undeliverable, they know that the adress given in the « survey » is correct. So when the boiler room call comes they might be pushing a different stock than the letter.
    Had a quick look into Montavo. Looking at their website I have a hard time really understanding what they offer. Something with advertising on mobile phones but perhaps intentionally kept a bit unclear.
    The man behond Montavo seems to be a Brook Lang. In one of the latest SEC filings from the company you can find that they don’t make any money, have lost a lot of money, are originally in the sale of music CD’s,
    are selling shares to finance the company, and recently broadend their activities to mobile phone advertising. Reading the resumes of current management (very impressive) one wonders what these guys are doing in a company like this.

    Found this on Montavo:
    Montavo formerly operated as North Coast Partners, a shell company until it acquired subsidiary Trans Media in 2004, that produced and distributed South Asian music for ethnic communities in North America. In 2007 North Coast switched gears when it entered the mobile communications industry. It subsequently changed its name to Montavo and began developing an application that lets people find and access special offers on consumer products and services, including sales, discounts, coupons, and new product launches, from their mobile wireless devices. Its main revenue source is from advertising.

    Hello all,
    Regarding Fitzpatrick there is the connection between him and an adress in the UK. The Mill, Mill Lane, Hatton, Warwickshire, CV35 7HN.
    There are a number of companies with this adress. Among them are:
    Thaler Financial Ltd, Thaler Marketing Ltd, European Launch Pad Ltd,
    Netnetnet.tv Ltd, Cycle 13 Ltd, ELP Aquisitions Company Ltd. All companies that we know that Fitzpatrick is involved in. I’m pretty sure that Fitzpatricks (former?) partner Sean Kelly has something to do with this too.
    Kellys filmproduction company Antshake has the same adress. When I tried to open their webpage « antshake(dot)com » Google told me that the link was broken. Closed shop?

    Hello all,
    If you look at the Thalerfunds program ( can be found in pdf format on Thaler Funds home page) for their « Conference » in Liechtenstein in early 2008, where they promoted several companies, among them of course Netnetnet, The Marketing Fund, Antshake etc there were another two companies: Sequenti and Nexis International. Both are registered at The Mill adress in Warwickshire. The deal is, as Client Lostitall told us before: Fitzpatrick invites a lot of affluent people to Veggis, Liechtenstein, holds a « conference » where he promotes his own companies collects a lot of money from his « guests » an then runs off with the money. Would be very interesting if we could ge a firsthand report from someone who was there, if the event ever took place.

Just like Europe Ventures that is pushing the same stock their server is situated in Amsterdam and the websites have certain things in common. The website of Affinity Group Solutions has as administrative contact:
    Dunstan, Ralph
    INGLEFIELD AVENUE
    CARDIFF, SOUTH GLAMORGAN CF123PZ
    United Kingdom
    022921623662
    The Swedish Financial Authorities have issued a warning against Affinity Group Solutions.
    And as with most boiler rooms they have recently issued a lot of press releases.

    Hello all!
    I just had a look at the pdf documents that Artemis Financial sent me in 2007. The metadata of the personal letter to me had a « Phil » as author.
    I know that letters from other boiler rooms also had a « Phil » as author. Would be interesting if the people reading this blog that have saved their pdf letters from boiler rooms could check them and see who the writers are. Maybe we can find a pattern here.

    Hello Karsten,

    I lost a lot of money in May-July 2008 scammed by FosseMcKenzieFinancial, later on Kimura Financial.

    First investment done in Pantera Petroleum, then changed shares by investing more money in fake-shares of wirelesseyes.com.

    In one pdf-document during that time I found « Phil » as author.

    It was an e-mail being sent to me on June 12, 2008 from admin-at-kimurafinancial-dot-com which informed me that FosseMcKenzie had been acquired by Kimura.

    The contents here as follows:

    ————————————————————————————

    Other documents I got from FosseMcKenzie / Kimura don’t have that sign.

    But « Phil » in this case may be a proof that all the different boiler rooms are connected and that likely the same persons are acting.

    Personally, I am sure about that connection, but I am afraid it does not help to know that, as we resp. the police can’t get anybody of the crooks because all of them is fake – shares, adresses, names etc..

    Only the bank accounts in Asia (Taiwan etc.) do really exist, but unfortunately obviously nobody has been able so far to get the real name of the owners resp. to block these accounts – bank secret. At least no success has been reported in this blog so far. Nice to know that the bank secret helps the crooks all over the world.

    Thank you for your information. Now there is a possible connection between Kimura Financial and Artemis Financial, even if they claim to be situated in different parts of the world and pushing different stock.
    As you say the only real proof is to follow the money trail. There must be some way to get International Authorities to look into this. But how?
    Perhaps a list of banks where the money has been sent could be presented to the Interpol together with pressure from the Financial Auhtorities could reveal some information.
    I know this has been tried, but if all victims persist hopefully there will be a breakthrough.
    Again thanks for the information. This is a very intricate puzzle and every bit helps.

    Incredible : two different boiler room guys called me today (allways same type of voices and approach). But I had no time to listen, I had meetings at my job the whole day. Told them to call back next week. Of course I would like to hear « who » they pretend to be and what « fantastic opportunity » they offer so I can report this asap.

    Infos to follow…

    The veggis conference did happen, I have asked a person who was there to write for me a summary of what went on and how it was conducted.

    My client fell for it based on the impressions of the person who attended the meeting as they are friends.

    I can tell you that those meetings are very well planned and organized and the poor victims ( companies and investors) are dupped badly due to the high level and impressive set up.

    Fitzpatrick and Valentine are real geniuses when it comes to that.

    Well now, the first one of these two broker – guys who called me on Friday called again, from « Budapest – Hungary » :

    Company « CLT Solutions »
    Arpad Fejedelem utca 94,
    1036 Budapest,
    Hungary

    www dot cltsolutions dot com

    he said his broker – firm has been in business for about 10 years…. At some point he said « here in the Czech Republic »… so I said : « did you not mention you are located in Budapest ? and « do you have a license to sell securities in my country » ?  » he said « er… welll actually we have offices at both places Hungary and Czech Republic, company is « offshore » and does not then need any license to sell stock anywhere »…

    The new fantastic opportunity seems to be :

    Nexis Holdings Ltd. www dot nexisholdings dot com.

    He said share had just rised from 20 to 40 cents a share, and it should now double again due to some multimillion – contract just signed in connection with their « 5 star green technology »

    well well, everything as usual….

    Nexis Holdings is a Fitzpatrick company! See my posts from June 20 and 22. Cltsolutions has a Byington, William a contact on the website registration. The website was registered through Godaddy already in 2003 and their server is as many recent boiler rooms in Amsterdam.
    But Nexis definitely is a Fitzpatrick company. Remember Nexis Holdings bought Nexis International (Promoted by the Thaler Fund in Veggis 2008 and registered in the UK at the Mill, Mill Lane etc adress) with « company stock ».

    Hello!
    Looking into Clt Solutions mentioned by Gogol above I notice the similarities between Artemis Financial and Clt Solutions. Website layout, alledged location and the fact that they are trying to sell stock that Fitzpatrick has a hand in. Also the kind of press releases both companies have published on the the free press release sites.
    These are things that I hope Clientlostitall will look into. The Fitzpatrick connection is very strong here, almost a copy of the Netnetnet affair and could help in the hunt for the bad guys.

    Well now the other « broker » who just called me today :

    « Capital Sys » in Barcelona

    3 x w dot capitalsys dot com

    He said they had been in business for more than 10 years.

    new fantastic company they are pushing : MONTAVO Inc. (MTVO) See posts here above about this company.

    This guy had EXACTLY the same type of speach, telling word by word exactly the same story and asking exactly the same questions, as the one from CLT who called yesterday. Only the companies mentioned were different. First two companies that had performed very well during the last months, that I could search immediately while talking on internet, that they had of course recommended to their customers who had made « very good business » with this. And then the company they were now pushing, Montavo in this case (Nexis Holdings yesterday being pushed by this other broker in Budapest)…

    Same story as usual ?

    This guy who called gave the following impression : very typical british accent, he seemed like an older man. He was obviously reading his speach and questions out of some check-list, as the « program » he went through was word by word exactly the same as the one from CLT Solutions yesterday. Actually, I even got the impression he – himself – was sincere, and he sounded very surprised and disappointed when I told him that I have the impression this is just fraud … It looks like these « brokers » may perhaps hire people to make the calls, that are not really aware of what they are doing…

    Gogol!
    Interesting information. If I look up the adress of Capital Sys on Google Earth you can see pictures of the street, Comtes de Bell-Lloc. They claim to situated at nr 170. On the street picture you clearly see nr 170 beside that is a mail box center! That’s where their mail lands.
    It also find that their website closely resembles that of CLT Solutions.
    Like you I also had the impression talking with the guy from Europe Ventures that he actually beleived that they where registered brokers.
    I can imagine the scene when he went to his superiors asking for documentation of their registration to send me as he had promised.

    Another funny connection between website from CLT Solutions and CapitalSys:

    The picture of the « serious » business man on the start site of CLT Solutions (« Company backgound ») is exactly the same you’ll find on CapitalSys web site in chapter « Investment research/Due diligence ».

    Too bad !

    The contents / style of both web pages is nearly identical – and look a copy pattern of the other boiler rooms (Artemis, Kimura, etc.)

  474. Avatar de Karsten Runerheim
    Karsten Runerheim

    Good observation VictimKim! Yes, the websites are getting sloppier. Could it be because warnings (both on blogs like this one and from Financial Authorities) now are spread faster on the Internet and the boiler rooms have to change names quicker and have not that much time to invest in fancy websites anymore.
    Another thing: The US pump and dump « newsletter » Pennypic is announcing a new stock recommendation later today. They recently recommended an old boiler room favorite, Medical Connections (MCTH.OB) and managed to pump the price up 600%. It is of course now down again. They say that the new recommendation is in the « green » sector. They usually only recommend US OTC and PK stock and I don’t think Nexis Holdings (see posts above) is registered there, otherwise they would be a perfect candidate. But whatever they recommend it will certainly be something that the boiler rooms also will push.
    Will be interesting to see what it is.

    I have just come across this blog, and I am amazed at the misinformation that you present as truthful. My partner was at that conference and it would appear that the only thing you have right is that Edward Fitzpatrick and Mark Valentine are universally hated. They stole money from everyone, they put on the show more as a birthday party for Fitzpatrick than anything else to stroke his ego, he took his Girlfriend along and left his wife in Geneva. A couple of examples of the misinformation. There are two Sean Kelly’s one who does Antshake (he is the husband of Fitzpatricks long time suffering secretary, they live in the UK) and another who lives in Geneva and is/was running Clean Hydrogen, which WAS a fitzpatrick comapny, no doubt he tried to rip them off too. None of the companies involved have anything to do with Fitpatrick or Valentine, calling Nexis a Fitzpatrick company is a joke they loathe the slimy little toad. Just because someone went to the conference does not make them a friend of this scum. You people have been told before about Fitzpatrick and Valentine, he ripped my partner off for hundreds of thousands, they are the criminals but sadly for you they have nothing to do with the other companies. They have long moved on and no one seems willing to pursue them, these other people are small fry the big criminals are Fitzpatrick and Valentine, you should be devoting energy to catching them. Blasting everyone will not catch Fitzpatrick and Valentine it will just muddy the waters. It would seem that some of the bloggers are happy to move away from the real criminals which is Fitzpatrick and Valentine.

    Go catch them.

    Welcome to the blog. You seem to have more inside information than most of us. Maybe we are misinformed on some points but still I would claim that it is an interesting fact that Netnetnet and Nexis Holdings, both companies with Fitzpatrick origins, have been or are pushed by boiler rooms. And why has no one who had dealings with Fitzpatrick come forward and told the story? The more that is known about his methods the better. All we hear is that people are ripped off. But not how. This information might be very useful for both authorities and the public.
    And it is perhaps the information from the samll fry that might help catch the big criminals.

    Hello,
    This blog seems to have developed into two major themes. One is about Fitzpatrick/Valentine ripping off their business partners and the other about boiler rooms ripping off the general public. I think that there should be room for both themes and if there is a connection to be found between Fitzpatrick/Valentine and the boiler rooms both interests would be satisfied.

    Les témoignages dans ce blog sont directement liées aux puces, étant donné que ce sont elles qui ont appelé et parfois réussi à berner divers intervenants dans ce blog.

    Ce fut d’ailleurs, le point de départ et la raison d’être première de ce thread.

    Pour ce qui est des éléphants, personne n’a apporté de témoignages ou autres éléments concrets : ceci serait éventuellement bienvenu, et permettrait peut-être d’y voir plus clair.

    Thanks Gogol, that is the point, this Blog started over 18 months ago, and it seems to be going over and over the same issues and dodging the big issue of two major criminals are getting away with major crimes. In that time the world has changed, I was told the other day that something like 60% of the funds that went to Bernie Maddoff in the US came from Geneva, this is a big issue, he is a big fish. You have provided information about Fitzpatrick and Valentine to various people in authority but nothing happens. I know people who went to that conference (some 18months ago) and lots of companies were showcased, I am told that NONE of the companies that were there have anything to do with those slimebags Fitzpatrick and Valentine, in fact several have spent huge amounts to unwind their involvement. Several have died because Fitzpatrick stole funds from them. Several do not wish their name associated with the evil duo. I understand that a number of Major Banks were at that conference, does that make them Fitzpatrick Banks ???

    If you read what others have written the real criminals are Fitzpatrick and Valentine but after 18 months nothing has happened. They probably read this and are laughing at you.

    I did not realise it was an exclusive club. As I said my partner was at the famed conference and has much information, but as you say that appears to be nothing new, mind you I have not read anyone else who seems to know the truth. I was merely being polite and correcting a couple of glaring errors. Good luck in your efforts.

    My partner invested in several companies directly with Fitzpatrick and Valentine, (all lies) and the money never went to the companies, we have all the paperwork and have been to the authorities, who seem uninterested.

    Surprisingly Fitzpatricks’ girlfriend drives round in a new Ferrari 599 and a 911 Porsche, and his wife drives around in a couple of 911’s as well.

    In our investigation Fitzpatrick and Valentine have stolen tens of millions of dollars off people over a number of years, hence my comments about Elephants and Fleas.
