The above company called me in april 2009 and asked me to invest 12, 000 USD in return for profits, which i made, on paper, but never got the money. they made many promises to send my money, but never did. on the contrary they came back to me and asked for more money to 'release' my money. Foolishly, i sent the release fee. They then came and asked for another release fee. can you believe it. now they dont even call me. my money is with them.
Country of complaint: Bahrain
hi Escalope,
i havent got my money yet but i am talking to all the relevant financial, governement and law authorities about cornerstone. on FSA, the japanese financial regulatory body, Cornerstonse is listed in the suspected cold callers list. visit it if you havent : http://www.fsa.go.jp/en/refer/cold/index.html
these guys keep asking you for more money. the problem starts when you ask for your money. as soon as i asked for it, they started giving me problems. they gave me stories and made promises which never materialized. Be careful. when i asked them for the profits they said i have to pay 14, 000 USD release fee to get my money which is somewhere in US and that this is US law which was introduced since President Obama came in. i paid the 14, 000 but they didnt keep their promise. excuses again. in November they called me and said that they have recieved my money from the US and is now in their account and they reinvested it. i told them, i dont care what you do. just give me my money back. they said they will. i made it clear that they should not ask me for any more money for returning my money. i have already paid the release fee twice. they agreed...this was Matt Cornish. He acknowledged that my account had been mishandled and they he will see it till the end, till i get my money.
But Matt disappears and Bruce Gamble comes in saying again saying i have to pay a 4000 USD release fee...so you see it just keeps going on and on.
the guy who called me first time and got me to join cornerstone and promised me so much, Edward Taylor, has disappeared. I sent him and the other guys many emails but since they dont reply. when i asked them to sell and return my money, i was expecting over 70, 000 USD based on the then market price. They have caused me a lot of damage.

Hi Escalope,
how is it going. any news.. did you get any money from them.
they all say they are men of principles but when it comes to returning our money, you can see their true colors. they promise and disappear, dont respond to calls and emails. i sent the money to the following banks :
Euro Bank, Cyprus
CIMB Bank, Labuan, Malaysia
what about u?
i am in the process of reporting them to the interpol http://www.interpol.int/public/mail/send3.asp?send=true&id=info malaysian and tokyo police department. they have taken my money by deceit and lied continuously. despite several emails they have not responded and i dont see any intention of them returning my money. i have informed the central bank here. these guys are not authorised to do business in my country. According to the FSA, they are not even authorised to do business in tokyo.
Involve a lawyer if you can. Attach the lawyers report and file a complaint against them to police of your country, police of tokyo and and the police of the countries where they have their bank accounts. Also send the details to their banks. if you cant get a lawyer, still do the rest. i am doing this.
Remember this is a suspect company on the FSA and im sure banks will be very careful in who they deal with.
they are probably trying to see what you are up to. checking your tone of talk to them. they will come back and try some other tactics to extract money out of you.
hi escalope,
not yet but im trying. i dont get any response from them. im involving police and others in this.
hi escalope,
did they sell your shares. did john moore call you again.
hi guys,
any developments with anyone
hi everyone,
im in the same position as before. all you guys will know by now how cornerstone operates...one guy comes, tries to extract as money as possible, then disappears. after some time another guy appears and the story is repeated. these guys will settle for any amount, like prostitutes. in one case once person agreed to usd 1, 500/- to help me return my money. of course, never heard from him after that. in any case do not send any money to anyone. we have all lost a lot of money and should not throw any more good money after bad money. i think these are ghost companies, fake names, fake everything, not easy to tracke them. of course they have done their homework very well. they seem to be part of a much bigger network. in my last conversation i asked the guy where are you based. he replied : new york. i guess that was a mistake cos all previous guys said they were based in tokyo. anyway they are crooks.
I got a call from the criminal investigation department of my country. They know I am a victim of a financial fraud. They have received a letter from the Interpol investigating this case and have asked me for the details of my dealings with Cornerstone. I shall be meeting them soon to give them the information I have. They will reply to Interpol. Lets see where this leads to but I am happy that these guys are being investigated or even hunted.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Hello everyone,
could you please post the web address of the Cornerstone Worldwide? I mean the swindler´s one, as there are several organizations, which use the same name. In other words, is the web address of the swindlers http://www.cornerstoneworldwide.com (as listed by the Japan FSA), or http://cornerstoneinternationalgroup.com (which is another Japan based financial services company).
Or do they use just another web address?
FYI I am a victim of the Mann International fraud, however some traces are not clear to me.
Thanks
Their website is the following: www.cornerstoneinternationalgroup.com

hey guys, cornerstone worldwide is not from Tokyo but from Jakarta Indonesia, trust me I will give you details information if you contact me at chr1905@gmail.com,

I know someone who used to work there and maybe able to assist on tracking them down as hold a lot of info as was unaware they were an illegal company. Can e mail me directly on smithben8010@yahoo.co.uk
I was a telemarketer at company knows as Cornerstone Worldwide in Tokyo Japan, I still have relation with one of the boss, he sometimes call me. As I know cornerstone office in Jakarta, contact me at my email: taniasakuntala@aol.com
This confirms what I suspected about Cornerstone, scammers commiting stock fraud. I've also found this boiler room watchdog blog purporting to be by an ex-employee of the company- they also make the Jakarta/ Indonesia claim rather than Tokyo:
http://boilerroombuster.blogspot.com/
Along with the related companies already mentioned on this thread it links a few others like 'premier-partners.com'
to all victims: I've got new info, This fraud company no longer exist in Jakarta, the former office that I knew already closed by last December 2011, I don't have any connection with their new office anymore. Warning: never trust anyone who will give you information about this fraud company and then ask some money!
the last Information I got from my friend who work there until last December 2011, this company already move to one of the city in India, Jakarta office is closed for long time regards the investigate process by International Police here.
good to see more people are on to this bunch of crooks. I see Smethers has mentioned boilerroombuster.blogspot.com. I too had found this blog and see that the user certainly seems to know this group - well worth a read
i have been contacted by them on Oct last year . if they contact me can anyone trace them by telephone number.
Ha!
I've just been reading boilerroombuster and he(?) has reported that the Cornerstone Worldwide website is down. Just searched myself and all you get is a page with the following text "This Account Has Been Suspended"
The blogger also mentions; Delta Continental, Omega Trading, Sun Worldwide, First Prime Group and Asia Pacific Group. All of these are also down and have been mentioned here/and or on other forums in relation to the same bunch of crooks. Good news, perhaps?
hallo everyone.
with referance to Omega Trading mentionned hereup has anyone any news?
I have been cheated by them and I am loosing great amount of monay so I wonder how I could investigate them to get back my monay.
hope to receive your help and comments
Scallon, the best source I have found for info on the many and varied boiler rooms operated by these crooks is here:
http://www.boilerroombuster.blogspot.com/
The chap who writes it seems to bevery much 'in the know'. Who knows... he may be able to give you more information on Omega...
Good luck!
thank u mazz1978 I will look into the web site
Hi Scallon,
How much money that you lost? we need to cooperate, we gather more power and we can plan to solve the problem, contact me at nimko125@yahoo.com,
This dd125 is one of the fraudsters. He is trying to steal identity but making similar Complaint board ID and similar email. Do not send any emails to nimko125@yahoo.com.
See my earlier posts of 8th Feb 2011 and 10th Nov 2010 with ID of dd124. This fraudster is trying to look legitimate by posting with similar ID. DO NOT respond to him. Mate (dd125) you need to come up with some more innovative idea.
Are there still people looking for a location of cornerstone ? Maybe i can help . I im from Belgium
