They work for fake companies and instead ask victims to invest through escrow companies "for your safety". We previously mentioned Kaloca Inc (USA) and Vipco Holdings (Singapore) used by Van Gossum Consult, Brookfield Investment Funds Plc, and others, but we were informed about another company helping scammers: WELLINGTON YORK PARTNERS PTE. LTD
.
Victims who contacted us receiving an invoice with the following details:
WELLINGTON YORK PARTNERS PTE. LTD.Make sure not to make any payment to this company, and if you've received an invoice you can contact the police, and/or the Commercial Affairs Department in Singapore to report the company.

The company has a website which we will not publicize here, but while they claim to operate since 1986, they only thought of registering the website in 2018...
Since the company is registered in Singapore, there's a searchable business registry, and we can see the company was only incorporated on the 7th of June 2019.
Interesting that they are using namesilo.com, just like the clone and scam of Brookfield Investment Funds PLC.
ReplyDeleteGuys, today we received an email from International Securities and Markets Authority (is-ma.org) claiming Wellington and York Partners have been suspended and they have appointed Vantage Financial Trust (vantageft.com) to help repatriate the investments with Wellington and York Partners. Again these 2 new firms are registered with Namesilo.com.
