FOCUS POINT CAPITAL IS A SCAM
Focus Point Capital is a Fake offshore investment house, no doubt you will get a call from a charming man with an English accent who will no doubt just happen to have a very lucrative stock tip.
He will ask you too pay your money into an ESCROW ACCOUNT this is a SCAM and you will never see your money again. They will ask for between 7k to 30k depending on how gullible you are however do not send them any money under no circumstances as you will never SEE IT AGAIN...
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Unfortunately I also belong to the victims of Focus Point Capital. It was not before the first entry on this page, that I had to realize, that my friends were right indeed with their warnings, but the comminication with FPC was so perfect and so convincing that I felt I knew better.
When these people contacted me the first time in September 2009, they were still operating under the name "Logan Capital Group" located in Italy. Shortly later they changed the name to "Focus point Capital" and moved the office to Budapest, Hungary, and later also merged with a boiler room in Japan.
Even when I found out that the Budapest address was a fake as there was not even e letter box, I still believed in their excuses.
They always found convincing reasons why I should invest more money and why the cash out promised on short notice had be postponed and why it required additional payments to get it started again. My first contact person used the name David Schwab, signing as Senior Vice President M&A, who handed over to a Director of Trading, named Lewis Sayer.
Unfortunately I spent so much money, that there was not enough left for starting a law suite and engage a Dutch investigator office, s. www.griffin-miller.nl (Boiler Room Fraud) rsp. entrust a German lawyer with this case, RA Bernd Klose, who has specialisied on frauds of this type (phone +[protected]). I hope very much that one of the other victims can take the risk and will not only be successful in regaining some of his money but also in contributing to have these people fined or even jailed. Piscator
This Is a long standing Fraud company apparently based in Bangkok.
After having no help whatsoever from British police I confronted them with the information i had gathered.
1. The fact I had contacted the ISP used for ATM Capital and shut the site down.
2. I had located their operation by gaining the IP logs and it pointed towards Bangkok although the Telephone traces pointed towards USA and Bhutan which may just be the call redirection services used.
3. The document authors first name is Jacob :- this caused an immediate panic at their end and the call was terminated followed by a return call the next day once they had time to make up a new story.
4. The return call I informed them Unless I was fully reimbursed I would contact the police authorities. Unfortunately I have to use UK cambridgeshire police which the fraudsters rightly show no fear of as they have a policy of Not investigating Fraud which appears to be from overseas.
Normally I would not have fallen for this scam but as i was recovering from a stroke at the time of contact my guard was down and i was looking for investments to provide for my wife should I be unable to do so.
As a request could anybody also affected by these fraudsters please contact me WozzyUK@Gmail.com where I am gathering more information on the fraudsters activities.
If you lost money through either ATM Capital or Focus Point Capital, please contact Griffin and Miller (http://www.griffin-miller.org/).
I'm not saying you shouldn't contact them if you lost money through other fake investment companies, but I don't know any other confirmed boiler rooms myself.
I was just contacted by another company which I suspect to be a boiler room:
TYP Capital Inc.
11 F, Daiba Frontier Bldg,
2-3-2, Daiba, Minato-ku,
Tokyo
Tel: [protected]
Fax: [protected]
Email: info@typcapital.com

I can't be 100% sure, but they used the same scripted intro, are registered nowhere, no VAT number etc. Better be safe than sorry!
Another company just contacted me, another boiler room scam, no doubt about it. Same scripted intro, same interest in personal details, same vague sites, private numbers, super deals, etc. Don't do any business with:
PLATINUM ACCOUNT GROUP
http://www.platinumaccountgroup.com/
They will try to promote the following company:

You will never see your money!
Everybody who reads this post, ACT, make some effort and spread the word! If it wasn't for this post, you probably would have invested thousands of dollars/euro's only to never see your investment again. Be grateful you haven't lost your money and post this information on at least one other website!
100% true! I lost 10000euro in 2011, when they were still operating under the name of ATM Capital. They only just (jan/2012) started under the new company name, FocusPointCapital. Same people, contact person "Daniel Bradford" and others. Don't fall for their online trading platform, it's nothing but a simple UNSECURED website, they can show you what they want!
If anyone has any idea how to get these people arrested, DON'T JUST READ THIS BUT ACT! File a complaint! Inform relevant sites, even local sites in your own language. Go the police. You will not see your money back, but hopefully you can prevent other people from losing theirs.
The thing that made me believe them, besides the perfect story, was that they use official bank accounts. Swifti, Iban, etc. How can they open this without being known by at least the people at the bank?! If they contact you, play along untill you get their bank details, then hand it over to a company like Griffin and Miller. I believe that is our best option to trace and catch them.
If anyone knows what company they are starting next, post it on forums, inform people! Be sceptical of companies cold calling, offering assitance in helping to get your money back. It's the same people trying to steal from the same victims AGAIN!
