Report Frauds Online
Queja 274393 Detalles

I had previously “invested” $34,000 with the Ernest Greene Group (www.e-greene.com) who it turns out are a boiler room operation, with warnings against them by all the major financial services authorities. Their website is now down and I have been unable to contact anyone there and they have stopped contacting me.

However, about 6 weeks ago I was contacted by a group called Report Frauds Online (www.reportfraudsonline.com), who told me they had a number of victims of Ernest Greene Group who were putting together a class action lawsuit against the criminals behind the scam in order to retrieve at least some of the stolen funds. They wanted me to join in the lawsuit and that they needed $1,200 from me to cover basic legal costs of adding me to the lawsuit and to go towards investigator fees etc.

When I delayed they started to get quit pushy and after the ordeal I had been through with Ernest Greene Group, alarm bells started ringing. They had also contacted me cold, they had my phone number, my name and knew the details of my experience with Ernest Greene Group.

After doing some Internet research I discovered that Ernest Greene Group were linked to a group called People's Alliance Corp (details here – http://boards.fool.co.uk/hi-guys-i-came-across-ernest-greene-group-by-12575871.aspx?sort=threaded). The two websites shared some word for word copy text, clearly indicating that they were the same organization that had just reused a part of one website on another. From what I gather, this practice is quite common in the online fraud world.

People's Alliance Corp are not another investment group, but rather purport to help victims of share dealing scams to recover their funds – the exact same type of claims that Report Frauds Online were now making to me. It's a scheme known as a “recovery scam”, information on which you can read here - http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0102-refund-and-recovery-scams

I now have no doubt that Report Frauds Online (www.reportfraudsonline.com) are a scam and a part of the same fraudulent group of criminals that were operating Ernest Greene Group and People's Alliance Corp.

I have managed to collect a significant number of company and website names from doing my Internet research and it seems that all of the following boiler rooms and recovery scams are in fact operated by the same group of criminals.

As you can see the same modus operandi of duplicate websites on slightly different spelled addresses is consistent across their two scam operations.

I would urge anyone contacted by any of the above websites to carry out their own research, gather as much information as they can and report them both to your own local authorities as well as posting as much information about them as you can on the internet. That should throw a spanner into their works.
