D Meredith Gray - Another Suspected Boiler Room?
A firm calling themselves Preston Winslow Yates and Associates
have been approaching victims of Slender Life and Cambridge
Global. Preston Winslow Yates and Associates say that they have
a head office at 29/7 270 Park Ave. New York. N.Y. 1007, and also claim
to work out of Hong Kong. They are saying that they have a client willing
to give me $10.98 per share for what is thought to be worthless shares.
Why?
How do D Meredith Gray come into this? This transaction
takes another twist, when contact is made by a third party claiming to
be a representative of a US Government Bureau called 'The Central Selling
Bureau' in New York, who say that in order to sell the shares one must
pay $0.69 per share to a Transfer agent, D. Meredith Gray,
of 245 Park Ave. New York N.Y. 10005, to remove the restrictions. They
then call and say that on top of this there is a charge of $1.28 to remove
the 'non removable warrant A'.
This is a classic secondary scam.
If this fee is paid, it is highly unlikely that any monies will be returned.
A check on D Meredith Gray's website details reveals that the site was
only created in November 2004, and for a period of only 12 months. One
must question why a legitimate Company would only register their business
for a year.
In addition, the site details are protected, which means that one cannot
verify the details of the registrant. Again, one must question why a legitimate
trading company would choose to do this.
There is an ongoing discussion on D
Meredith Gray at the Boiler Rooms UK forum.
