Financial Assets Corporation
- Suspicious Activity
Investors in the UK have started being called by a Company called Financial
Assets Corporation. This company are operating a little differently
to those boiler rooms normally highlighted on this site, because they
are calling to obtain information in the first instance, rather than to
try and obtain funds. The sting will undoubtedly come later.
Financial Assets Corporation are seeking details of
'non performing shares', and will email a questionnaire in order to facilitate
this task.
What will happen next is anyone's guess, but it is strongly suggested that caution is exercised
when dealing with these people.
An investigation of their website reveals some of the boiler room trade
marks, or at least of a company not intending to be around for very long.
| • |
Recently registered domain, but only registered for a single year. |
| • |
Throwaway or hidden contact details. No serious business intent. |
| • |
Using a cell phone as a main contact. Surprising for a 'Wall Street' company. |
In addition, the IP address of the registration is very close to another
known boiler room, the Prudential
International Equity Group.
An ongoing discussion is taking place on the Financial
Assets Corporation at the Boiler Rooms UK forum.
