Complaint Review: Goldstein Associates

I saw the website http://www.goldstein-lawyers.com/contact.html and wrote an email to Goldstein Associates ( mail@goldstein-lawyers.com ) who claimed to be lawyers and providing legitimate second passports with naturalization certificates.

The Persons in contact were : Mr Anthony Redfern claiming to be Exe. Imm. Lawyer and Mr Calvin Bishop, claiming to be Advisor/Manager.

The full name & address of the company : Goldstein Associates,
Tel: 00 1 (718) 301 9999 ; Fax: 00 1 (718) 228 8666.
222, Grace Church St., Suite 302-292, Port Chester, NY 10573, USA.

My first contact was on July 05, 2008. They replied email and answered all queries and then quoted 20,500 Euros as total fees out of which they demanded 6,500 Euros as advance fees to start the process. I paid the money to the bank account nominated by them by Wire Transfer from Jersey on Aug 29, 2008. They had bank account in Macedonia. 1 month has elapsed but till now except sending emails and calling on phone saying they need more time to deliver the said second passport they have not done anything. Whenever I tried to call them it was always on auto answering and never did anyone answer the phone.

Till now, as on Oct 09, 2008, they have neither delivered the said Passport nor refunded the money though in their last emails they promised to refund the money if they don't deliver the Passport immediately.

Now they have stopped calling me or replying my emails completely. Thus they have scammed me into parting with this money and cheated me.

Please alert on the internet so that others dont lose their money to this company again.

Thanks
