I had to do some public investigation (over the net) these guys look competent and made a good analysis of strenghts and wiknesses but quickly sent....... their bank acct number for my client to transfer large amounts of up front fees and they attached a "seal" of the Better Business Bureau to impress us.
When I checked who was running the "BBB" branch I found out it was the same people and became (more) suspicious. I am glad they committed that mistake. I better not name this firm on a public board but they are near NY
we also received a proposal from other "gentlemen" to take a plane to Altanta and wait there in a hotel .......to be called, unfortunately my client is not Mr Bond and of course we refused.
finally, we will keep talking to industrial investors even if it will take time for them to understand the products.
