Upfront Fee Scam
Please avoid any dealings with Frank Moss of VHC Goodrich LLC
They commited to providing my company of a USD20,000,000 for acquisition and refurbishment. We paid them an upfront fee of USD 4000 to review our file. They then issued a fraudulent MT103 from JP Morgan and thereafter stated that the account was blocked due to capital flight risk. They instructed us to open a Merita Bank Group Account London in which the funds were deposited. The funds then were blocked by the FSA but our enquiries to the FSA stated that there was no block on the funds. Merita then requested us to purchase an indemnity bond of £9860 issued by Jananco Insurers. Our enquiries revealed there was no such underwriter at the address on the invoice. They changed the invoice to a group in Hong Kong since we had not come up with the further proceeds. The bank then closed the account on my instruction to Frank Moss (thinking he had been duped too) He then demanded legal fees from us to the amount of £2000. I requested an invoice from the attorneys. He then insisted upon Moneygram or Western Union WHICH EVERYONE KNOWS IS A RED FLAG as such funds dont leave a papertrail. I then insisted upon refunding us on which he has dissapeared.
The further losses is the loss of opportunity and our own legal costs to protract our intent on the building we were to purchase. My reputation has been dealt a heavy blow and the level of deceipt and fraud I have experienced is of the worst kind.

Mary - I think showing funds in escrow is the way to go. I think because of all these scammers the whole business community suffers. Email me at groupceo@villavenezia.net

The solution is to deal directly with established respected stateside lenders. We've never had a problem with our lender network, because they are legitimate lenders. Feel free to access them at this link

To all of you who either have responded or in the process with a so called Abdulrahman Al Zamil (Saudi Arabia) or his UK associates by the name of Michael Grahams. They are fraud and scammers..Sincerely,

I'm an Italian financial broker, I would like to know if the loans are only for the USA.
I have many projects to be financed and seek collaboration with
large investors at a time so favorable for the purchase of
property.
I also work with real estate auctions.Sergio

Well what can i say. Sometimes our own greed factor put us all in this situation. Any up front fee, i do not care who it is. Is sign of scam and fraud. Just be smart and say no. Do not let them to drag you in with all those rosy promises and play ito your greed factor.
Stay away. I keep saying over and over again and you people fall for scammers. Your own fault.
