"FPA Forums Team Note: Please post any evidence you have publicly. That way everyone can benefit from the information."

1) Standard Fidelity (standardfidelity.com) and the concurrently running (though slightly older) scam Carlton-Church (carlton-church.net) are both registered to the same UK Director and Secretary here https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10280561/officers
...
7) So, Cathay Dupont? ... Call them, you get the same office. Just try it. And, you guessed it, CathayDupont.com is Cathay Dupont Ltd. registered to the same 2 guys in the UK... https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10534974

Thanks, Hamish. I found your post helpful.

I have further questions about Cathay Dupont (CD), which publishes an address in Tokyo, Japan here: https://cathaydupont.com/cathaydupont/en/about.html.

I first received phone calls from Cathay DuPont (CD) in 2017, and I have kept record of the phone calls with all emails. I spoke to three men with clear English accents and all used emails with the domain ...@cathaydupont.com. The first caller was affiliated with Cathay DuPont, but also mentioned Standard Fidelity a few times (I think accidentally) while speaking at length about CD’s business.

Right now, I would like to discover a legal authority/regulator with jurisdiction over CD, but I don’t know anything about regulators in Japan, so I am interested in CD at High Road, London which you referred to at the following address: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10534974/officers. Do you, Hamish, or anyone else, have info to help confirm that CD in Japan and CD in London are affiliated as legal entities under UK law, or, at least anything to show that the people are connected? For CD in London, the above link lists D.J.G. Martyn & G.M. Dixon (as Hamish showed, they're also running Standard Fidelity Ltd), but neither are mentioned on the website for CD in Japan. As Hamish suggested in his post, I would like to call London and try to confirm that CathayDupont.com is truly affiliated with Cathay Dupont Ltd., but I don’t even have a London phone number, so will someone provide a phone number for CD in London or point me towards it?

Dear Daniel P.D,
if one simply googles the London address one figures out that this is just a mail forwarding service, I think "beta mail services" was the name or likewise.
Several hundreds of Ltds are or were registered there. At least to the level I am currently informed no postman, bailiff or other law enforcment member has been able to formally serve anything upon this address which is somehow surprising as they should at least an annual letter from company´s house.

ps: proving the link between CD and SF is not that much of a problem. Currently, they are using some alternative Japanese name: Yokohoma Ltd. or so.
Might post or pm more about this later as I can not access all files from here.

Most important do not send a single cent.

--------- REGULATORS ---------------------
​

Do you know if Yokohoma Ltd is registered with any regulators.

There are reliable links to regulators at this FINRA page: http://www.finra.org/industry/finra-international

FINRA list these two. Anyone seen CD or Yokohoma Ltd registered with either of these?​

Hong Kong
· Securities and Futures Commission | Memorandum of Understanding
Japan
· Japan Securities Dealers Association (JSDA) | Memorandum of Understanding

--------- LICENSES ---------------------

The site says that CD's President, Anthony Rathbone “currently holds Series 7, 63, 79, and 24 NASD Licenses.” https://cathaydupont.com/cathaydupont/en/about.html

I have checked the above licenses with FINRA in the US. FINRA records go back a decade to 2008, and there's no record of Anthony Rathbone or CD there (since 2008). Anyone can check it here: https://brokercheck.finra.org

I think (not sure) that these licenses are required before CD can act as a broker (see Series 7), and, if Rathbone is not actually licensed, then CD can't act as a broker trading on your behalf. Is that right? ​

Hi Daniel P.D.,

the correct name of the Ld mail forwarding service is: Cordon Bell Mail Services.
(http://cordonbellmailservices.co.uk/contact.html).

All entities involved are not regulated anywhere. In fact these guys sometimes even invent their own fake regulatory bodies like ISRA or fake law firms or debt collection agencies as follow up-fraud.

You do not have to worry about the jurisdiction of a real regulator. If DP currently claims to do business in Japan just report them to the authorities there. Like most financial regulators they publish a list of cold-calling alerts. Alternatively, you can complain to the regulatory of your nationality or the place where you reside. It is just that not too much might come out of it. They issue a warning publish it on the internet and several months later other victims might or might not find it.

The correct name of the current Japanese entity is Yokohama Daisan Management Company but be cautious there seems to be a real world entity of the same name. I have a prospectus from the fake entity but it is too large to be uploaded here. The logo of the fake company looks like this:

We know that this is a fraud case because they contact they contact the same victims.

Great outcome for the women testifying in the 3rd video (at 10 minutes).​

​

I know almost nothing about law in Japan. Anyone know what to expect after an authority is notified of scams such as boiler-room fraud? Specifically, I want to know if victims expect to be informed of the outcome and the identities of fraudsters so that legal proceedings in tort law may commence.​

​

Anyone know how to check if these websites in Japan are authentic?​

hi,
I do not know how authentic these links are but at these are clearly private instiutions.
If you want to contact the official japanese regulatory body you can do this
here:
https://www.fsa.go.jp/en/refer/cold/index.html
I do not think they share their files with the person complaining.
We also have a contact to a private debt collection/security agency active in the SEA region whom I would recommend to use, it is just that I know the outcome: Clearly, nobody except for millionaires, insurance carrierers etc., who can afford it wants to throw good money after bad but without a huge retainer field operations in the region are out of the question.
Hamsih also has a contact to somebody very official in the US once haviging looked into this a while ago.

hi daniel,
having used this lovely public holiday spending time in a dark cellar room looking up old records additional info on CD came up by pure accident. I will send it through the conversation function later in a way at least to avoid double work, and this way this is at least not completely public. Vaguely: They are also registered in a different place than the UK and if one follows this trace things are much more straight forward.

This web-link points to The Cyber Search Centre of the Integrated Companies Registry Information System (ICRIS) in Hong Kong:
https://www.icris.cr.gov.hk/csci/cns_search.jsp

I am familiar with searches at Companies House in the UK where the documents are published with OPEN ACCESS for free (in the public's interest). However, at the above link to the ICRIS in Hong Kong, you will find that documents require a fee (e.g., $140) before you can see whether the document contains useful information. See this image of the search results at ICRIS:

​

The above shows only one document, and I may want to check a dozen documents without even knowing that they will be useful.
Does anyone know of a government webpage that provides OPEN ACCESS to registration documents for companies in Hong Kong?

 

[honeybee1]

No, as it does not exist and also the UK registry charges some fee if you want a "certified copy". Besides, check the exchange rate HK140,- are about Euro 11,-. If you want to save this money just use the docs forwarded to you.

 

[Hamish McBagpipe]

$140 HKD is only about $15USD. Anyhow, the Hong Kong registration for Cathay Dupont is attached. The person registering Cathay Dupont in Hong Kong, as you can see, is a Moshe Alkobi.

From my earlier posts in this thread you can see that list of 30 or so websites that were either direct scams or supporting scams. Then I was showing the situation at that time when it was Carlton Church moving to Standard Fidelity and then Cathay Dupont. Cathay Dupont is not in that list of websites but as with Standard Fidelity and other scams since, they have a common origin and the IP block (since changed) is one way to show that connection.

In that list of 30 websites (hosted by the same address and ONLY those websites) are a couple which are not direct or indirect scams. One of them is philorthotics.com, now defunct as a website, but it's here... https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005117987955 and a screencap of the old website is attached.

Phil Orthotics is owned and operated by Moshe Alkobi...

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154286199656547&set=p.10154286199656547&type=3&theater

Moshe Alkobi is an associate of the main guy in Manila running at least the call-center side of the scam, David Gilinsky. (Gilinsky is a "friend" of Philothotics on the Facebook page) They both go to the same (and only Synagogue in Manila where Alkobi is the Cantor.... https://www.rappler.com/nation/148217-philippines-president-rodrigo-duterte-apology-jewish-community

Further, Alkobi is also the director of DCS TRUST, an ongoing part of many scams (listed in that block of websites as dcstrust.net) registered in the UK... https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/B3tvY-pqLt48ej6h5qJLYWrCdak/appointments (From the listed address there is another connection to both

Cathay Dupont (and Standard Fidelity, and Rutherford Franklin and other associated entities) registered by Geoffrey Dixon and David Martyn in the UK. Cathay Dupont registration in Hong Kong to Alkobi. They are both the same entity designed solely to steal money.

Next, you should have already seen that SKYE ZEE NISNISAN, an associate of Geoffrey Dixon and Martyn, registered a bunch of stuff ... one of which is here... https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10971059/officers where you see a subsequent scam RUTHERFORD FRANKLIN was registered to her and Dixon. Here are other Nisnisan scams recently registered.... https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/ccpgDjHDHl2MUVkCx2LyH8QOIIs/appointments

You see there DOMINION INTERNATIONAL GROUP. This is another scam that came after Cathay Dupont. In another form here... https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/Pyf6eMd0RKJEa7VgMoZg6cytrj4/appointments

TAYLOR MCKENZIE is another later scam you can find out about elsewhere, it is also registered to Nisnisan.... https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/TMYde7g7Lnw6z6YpeOfspz3wM40/appointments

Ok? There is a lot going on even in just this small examination of this SMALL part of the whole thing, right? But look at the last 2 attachments.... "DominionTaylorHK" screenshot is just the Hong Kong business registration summary place that you have already seen. This shows that THE DOMINION GROUP changed its name, at least as far as the HK registration is concerned, to TAYLOR MCKENZIE.

The last attachment is the Hong Kong registration for Taylor McKenzie. You can see for yourself who it's registered to.
