Re: Investing in carbon credits / Cold calls from Westernfield Holdings

Typical “boiler room scam”…

The Westernfield Web-Site was created May 20, 2009.

It seems a gang of fraudsters is just popping up regularly with new “companies” and new “fantastic opportunities” in which to invest : It is just all fake and lots of people seem to be fooled by these guys who are indeed quite convincing when they first call…

Just have a look at the “Arnaque Artemis” blog (put this in google and you get there right away). Blog initially in French but many comments in English as well. Most of these boiler-room “companies” are discussed there with info from numerous victims.

Advice : STAY AWAY from these guys !

If you search through internet, you find a lot of “press – releases” from Westernfield. This is a trick that all these “companies” use to create confidence,and to drawn forums and blogs like this one. But…. Look a little closer, none of these “press – releases” is older than May this year.

And.... Beware :

Same approach now by another "company" that call themselves "World Wide Wealth Management", pretending to be located in Hong Kong, calling people asking to "invest" in "Center Focus Media"... Both these "companies" web-sites created only in July this year...
