Quatloos!

Can anyone share information about this company, their website is: www.untadglobal.com

Have tried phoning their numbers which seem to be false, they send out PTS (Preliminary Term Sheets) for funding and request GBP 15,000 before even looking at an application.

There is also a person called Anna Sergiejenko's whom is apparently their International Finance Lawyer.

Any information would be grateful

Wasn't Lestrade the incompetent cop who wanted to take credit for everything Sherlock Holmes solved? (There's a Conan Doyle club up here, the Sound of the Baskervilles.)

Might be a pseudonym.

A whois for their site:

If you want to do business with a firm based in Latvia which puts anonymous "testimonials" on its home page and demands £15K up front, you go right ahead. I hope you don't need that £15K.

Well, their phone appears to be in the US.

Q has received a complaint from someone claiming to be Edward Lestrade concerning this thread. While I'm not going to post the PM without permission, it really is preferable to post a complaint rather than PM it. That way it is open to public comment, something clearly desirable. If the complaint is warranted, I don't think anyone here wants to be unfair.

Mr. Lestrade's PM doesn't answer any of the questions posters to this thread have posed. Here, I'll ask some:

(1) Do you really charge £15K up front, just as an application fee? Sure, you're entitled to due diligence, but that seems like a lot.

(2) Where are you? At various times, you've claimed to operate in Latvia (above), Dominica, Cheyenne (Wyoming), Bratislava and London. As our colleague notorial dissent asked, if you really have all of these offices, why the machinations with call forwarding around the world?

(3) What is this nonsense with anonymous "testimonials" on your site? What legitimate organization places alleged comments by an anonymous "Partner of Major European Law Firm" on its home page? "Big 5 International Audit and Consulting Firm"? I mean, I can write this stuff too:
"If it weren't for wserra, I'd still be looking in that damn mirror. Albert E., Princeton, NJ."

(4) You claim to have received your law degree from "Northwestern California University". That's a correspondence school, isn't it? Not ABA-accredited? Its students have to take a "baby bar" before they can take the real bar, and then can only practice in California, right? And you don't appear to be admitted in California.

How about some answers before you expect action on complaints?

In general, real financing firms do not charge advance fees but instead take their fees out of the closing from escrow, i.e., there is real money deposited by lenders.

Scams that go around these days include bogus "financing firms" that charge advance fees for loans that never materialize. Oh sure the scammers will give you a dog-and-pony show to make you think that you are right on the brink of receiving a huge loan, but that money will never show up.

In particular, avoid ANY contact with financing companies from Eastern Europe, the Baltics, or any of the former Soviet Union countries -- the odds are much, much higher that any offer you get from these companies will be a scam.

And also don't be fooled by shell companies formed in Wyoming or someplace that give the appearance of a U.S. presence, when in fact the scammers just spent $150 or something to form an empty company and have a U.S. address when in fact there is nothing there.

You can check out real financing firms through such services as Lexis, Standard & Poor's, etc. If those services have no record of the company, forget about it. In fact, stick to purely domestic companies where you can go meet the people in person, check their references, meet with their auditors, and do the real type of due diligence that you need to do to avoid being scammed.

And, oh, don't ever do any business with any company that has testimonials from non-existent nations such as Melchizedek, Utopia, Oceania, etc.

The idiot who goes by the name of "Dr. Edward Lestrade" is just some turd in the Baltics (home to many cyber scam artists) who claims to run an "Online International Arbitration Court" that has been "approved" by the State of Wyoming.

In fact, the State of Wyoming merely forms LLCs for a couple of hundred dollars and any idiot or scam artist can run their scam out of a Wyoming LLC without anybody in Wyoming knowing anything about it.

The "Online International Arbitration Court" smells strongly of the "Courts" of the Dominion of Melchizedek, a fake country that existed only in cyberspace and with no real land or presence anyway -- the Dominion of Melchizedek was in fact concocted by a felon serving time in prison who first came up with a "fake nation scam".

Anybody who uses the "Online International Arbitration Court" would be a fool, since any "judgment" of such "court" would be of highly dubious value.

That "Dr. Edward Lestrade" has been recently posting complete lies about a lawyer who supports Quatloos, who is Chris Riser of the Riser Adkisson LLP law firm, which falsely claim that Chris Riser is "under investigation", demonstrates that "Dr. Edward Lestrade" is a dishonest and not truthful person, which pretty well ties into the "Online International Arbitration Court" described above.

An example is http://www.complaintsboard.com/complain ... 405944.htm but of course in reality there is no investigation, no arrests, no trials, nothing .... except the shrill lies of an idiot.

Mostly likely, this is just some bum living out of his car in Latvia -- just see if you can verify his credentials with a straight face!

Dr. Edward Lestrade is now trying to take down his "Untad Global" website that made this highly dubious offer:

Untad Global, as a division of Lestrade Law Associates International LLC, provides high quality, comprehensive and worldwide project funding and wealth optimization. Our financing partners are international and have a liquid capital base of over 50 billion Euros for such investments.

50 billion Euros, right! Maybe 50 billion Mechizedekian shekels is more like it.

I'm guessing that the license for "Lestrade Law Associates International LLC" was obtained from a dispenser on the wall of a petrol station in Latvia somewhere, next to the condom machine.

Here is where Lestrade's "Project Financing" solicitation page has moved:

http://www.llagroupeurope.mezoka.com/in ... -Financing

Then of course here is where they tell suckers that they will need to pay a "due diligence fee" of "USD1000 to USD250,000".

Advance fee fraud anybody? Who the hell would accept "due diligence" performed by a firm in the Baltics?

http://www.llagroupeurope.mezoka.com/index.php?p=1_7

Note the repetition of their other totally false claims on this page.

Lestrade claims that RipOffReport.com and ComplaintsBoard.com are quality sources to find out about people. Well:

http://goo.gl/64Q82

It turns out that Lestrade's alleged degree is from an online university, which probably should surprise nobody.

For a few hundred bucks, one could have diplomas from online colleges in many different subjects, all at the doctoral level, and all without ever having to do even 1 minute of studying. So long as the check or credit card clears, your diploma will be e-mailed to you by PDF.

It is, of course, the only way that people like Edward Lestrade will ever be able to call themselves "Doctor" as a way to try to obtain false credibility.

Edward Lestrade's new deal is to falsely claim that he has been the victim of a blackmail attempt, according to his self-posting in the "International Times of Dominica".

Of course, there is no proof of such blackmail attempt given, other than the word of this correspondence-school "Doctor" who runs a fake law firm and arbitration tribunal through a Wyoming LLC and has claimed to have access to tens-of-billions of Euros .... if you'll only pay him a "due diligence" fee to vet your investment, i.e., a variation of advanced fee fraud.
