Beware of this 'company'. They are trying the "De-restriction Fee" trick. You get a cold call from someone (in my case a Mrs. Aliyah Parc) who wants to buy junk stocks from you (in my case Roanoke Technology Corp. - ticker symbol: rnke.pk) for a price thousands of times higher than the current trade price. They will send you an email with several .PDF files attached, amongst them one with a "TENDER OFFER", which is asking for a "De-restriction Fee", which must be prepaid. The email, including full header, that comes with it reads:

The calling time is usually around 6:00AM to 8:00AM GMT. The caller is rather fluent in English but with an foreign accent. The caller is claiming to call from Florida (of course the night shift - hahaha). However, using Visual Route reveals that the email was sent from the Philippines (IP 210.213.109.162). I checked the address mentioned in the homepage (8270 Woodland Center Blvd. Waters Tampa, FLORIDA 33614, USA). It belongs to an office rental company in Florida but there is no company/customer called Brentwood Trust.

The caller seems to have access to client data from a boiler room company called "Brooks Lambert", which sold stocks by "pump and dump". Their offices were located, what a surprise, in the Philippines. In 1998 or 1999 Brooks Lambert transferred the business to JF Kidwell Limited (Indonesia), who later transferred the business to Phoenix International Limited.

Also very interesting is the Administrative contact of the 'Who is' record: Eric Banner. I came across this name many times in case of fraud and scams.

So don't be fooled. There is nothing like a free luch.

It's getting better and better. :wink: Just got a new offer from them (this time the caller is Mrs. Anne Curtis). Like Mrs. Aliyah Parc (see above) also Anne Curtis claims to call from Florida (of course at 3:00AM local morning time ... :lol: ), speaks English with Filipino accent and the email originated in the Philippines (IP 210.213.109.162, checked by Visual Route). This time the offer is to buy 10,000 of 'my' 180,303 shares of "Wealth Protector 50" at US$ 20/pc. :shock: Wow, that's a awful lot of money, considering that I have actually never owned this share. :roll: Only problem is that I have to pay US$ 20,000 up front in advance as 10% de-registration fee. :evil:

Just for reference, here today's email to me:

BTW, forgot to mention that in both cases the buyer's name, as mentioned in BrendwoodTO3.PDF, is "Ms. Helen Whitlock".

Location: PARIS - FRANCE
just to thank ScamVictimUnited and Batman for the note that Google search showed me about Brentwood Trust Co.

I am living in Paris - France and got about the same phone call described by batman (tks for the description)

name of the people calling Vince Mason, location Florida, time 1pm Paris time, same story, I am supposed to own 5000 ?PCTS? shares they bought and propose a De-restriction process because the shares are on an illegal position or something like that. new value estimated $75000 !

after the phone call, I wanted to check what could be "PCTS" company and no success

then went to the Brentwood Trust Co site ... evasive standard info

and fortunately went to google search where I got your ScamVictimUnited publication with the batman story so thank you again

By the way, I just got an email from Brentwood Trust and did not opened it up to now. Do you have any suggestion about what to do with it?

welcome to your comments,

do you want a transfer of what I got for info analysis?

my best regards
philippe courteaud

Hi everyone,

I too have been contacted by Brentwood Trust Co., and rebuffed them. I wish I had known about this website then. Well, now that I have found it, I thought that I had better warn you all of another company running the same scam. This time they are calling themselves BEACON GLOBAL MANAGEMENT, INC. and they give their contact details as follows...
Tower Executive Suites 10940 Wilshire Blvd
Suite 1500, Los Angeles, CA 90024 United States
Telephone: 1-213-325-2623
Fax: 1-213-947-4787
Website: http://beaconglobal.us
email: info@beaconglobal.us

STEER WELL CLEAR!
