My business partners and I were ripped off for more than $40,000 by these Middle East fraudsters.
We were referred by a NJ "consultant" as we sought out funding for our business. For a $2 million loan, we were told a Surety Bond was required. Paid for it - $21,000.
Loan was then "held up" by Central Bank of Bahrain, we were told, requiring another $19,000 "clearance fee" which we also paid. Very bad advice from the "consultant".
The loan monies, of course, were never received. Now, we get no response to emails or phone calls. A complete rip off all around.
Stay away from Bahrain. Do not have anything to do with anyone in the Middle east. They hate America and Americans, and am sure thay are having a big laugh at our (huge) expense.
Lesson learned: Don't trust anyone. CHECK EVERYONE at JustAsk.com, Fraud Examiners. They nailed these guys as crooks in about 15 minutes of research. Wish we had known......
