Twynham Corp
Complaint 143102 Details

Sometime in April/May 2010 I received a cold call from a supposed stockbroker/financial advisor who called himself Christian Levine inviting me to buy shares in a company quoted on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange called Advance Media Group. I don't know how he accessed my phone number but he had a very persuasive manner and contacted me several times. I was foolishly convinced the investment was sound. He said only 1% would be deducted from the profits once the purchase had gone through. I was told the last date available for this purchase was 14 July 2010.

He took my details and I received a contract note from International Escrow Services plus Bank Transfer Instructions to pay the money to be invested in euros in two installments. This I did & on 13 July 2010 & 5 August 2010 the money went by Bank Transfer from my bank account to a Beneficiary named Twynham Corp at 2907-99 Harbour Square, Ontario, Canada M5J 2S2 to account number (Personal Information Removed).

I thought I had made a worthwhile investment especially when I received two Share Certificates in July & September 2010 and two more in February 2011 from Advance Media Group (or so I believed).

It was only a few months ago when I realised I hadn't heard any more from this "investment" that I became suspicious & began to do some research. I discovered that:-1. the phone number I'd been given 08455280678 didn't allow me to make contact with anyone & has been reported online as being part of a boiler room scam

2. the OSC lists Twynham Corp as being a company that is not registered

3. when I've tried to open the webpage Cold Calling Alert - Twynham Corp I'm told that the Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

I realise I am the victim of a scam. I obviously want my money back. It would be good to see the perpetrators exposed.
