Advanced Wealth Systems SCAM?

[tech/a]

Re: Australian Wealth Systems SCAM?

I'm having my legal people look at it now.

I have works published and my identity is known through the publication.
Many people know who tech/a is.
Its like using a pseudonym.

Ill let you know as I'm currently working on stuff which will be released to the public at a
cost-----eventually and my credibility needs to be preserved.

Boom - first red flag. Section 992A of the Corps act - Anti-hawking legislation.
No legitimate AFSL (Australian Financial Services Licence) Holder is allowed to cold call. Contact must be initiated by the client. ERGO - you are not dealing with a holder of an AFSL and are outside the customer protection designed into legislation. Your ability for legal recourse in the event it goes pear shaped is now severely reduced.

Hi Sir O, good post, just wanted to clear up that your language and interpreation is a bit firmer than the legislation seems to be.

AFSL holders can and many do cold call, but shouldn't be selling financial products over the phone. Nothing wrong with calling someone to arrange a meeting, however.

Haven't had a chance to read the whole thread but felt that was worth responding to.

The OP has informed me that the company he was approached by was "Advanced Wealth Systems", not "Australian Wealth Systems".

I have edited the thread title to reflect this.

Where is Lisbeth Salander when you need her?
She could send 1000 emails in a minute - all from different IP addresses to that admin...

for the uninitiated:
Lisbeth is "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", who played with fire and stirred a hornets' nest.

Looks like they are now Anderson Wilson Stuart.
Identical sales brochures (apart from the names)

The Anderson Wilson Stuart domain name was first registered on November 16, 2014. There is a very suspicious website called Canberra2Day that claims Anderson Wilson Stuart won a Canberra 2 Day Gold Medallion Business Award that was presented on March 21, 2014.

How is it possible that they won an award before their domain name was registered? The only possible answer is that the "Awards" are fake and the Canberra2Day website was set up after November 16, 2014. The Canberra2Day website lists no company name or contact details and has no history in the Internet Archive.

Red flags everywhere here. I would give this company a very wide berth.

"Who is" raises a few more red flags

Pixel, the website is actually on canberra2day.com, rather than canberra2day.com.au, which I think is owned by someone else.

This is their YouTube video which appears to be nothing more than 44 seconds of vague marketing speak. The presenter says nothing about the business they run, or what products or services they are selling. I'd say this is probably a deliberate tactic.

 

[notting]

Just saying.

Now I'm convinced this is a scam.

I found this website while searching Google: http://www.myandersonwilsonstuartreview.com

The domain name was registered in December 2014 and domain name privacy is enabled to hide the registration information. Strangely, the person writing the "review" claims to have been approached by Anderson Wilson Stuart in early 2012, almost three years before the Anderson Wilson Stuart domain name was first registered in November 2014.

Then I clicked through to this page: http://www.myandersonwilsonstuartreview.com/myexperience.html

158 winning trades out of 158 trades taken. Extraordinary! How is this possible? Well, it's not. It's complete BS.

This "review" website is fake, just like the Canberra2Day website and their fake "Gold Medallion Award".
