Trenton Hassel Investment Ltd
Another Dodgy Dealer?

Trenton Hassel Investment Ltd have been approaching investors of International Biometrics, with tales of wishing to buy a non performing share to offset a tax liability. Whilst the desire to offload such rubbish as International Biometrics shares must be tempting, please be wary.

A cursory lookup of the website for Trenton Hassel Investment Ltd reveals a few suspicious things.

Why have they used Domains By Proxy to hide their details? A company purporting to gain the trust of investors would be open and share all of their company information, wouldn't you think? Unless there was something nefarious to hide!
The site was registered on 5th January 2005, and then only for 12 months. This leads to credibility questions. How long should an established company have had a web site? Longer than a few months I would suggest. It is possible that they a re new company of course, but then one would hope that they are in for the long haul. A commitment of only 12 months suggests to me that they might be interested in relieving you of your hard earned cash, and that's all.
The address that they give does not tie back to any company of this name.

All in all, one must suggest extreme caution in dealing with these people.
