Hallo my name is Barend.

I live in the Netherlands Europe. And i am a victim of an option marked investment scam by Solomon Layb

End of june 2013 i was repeatetly called by Helmud Olsen from Solomon-Layb. Solomon Layb is the investment broker for the YKMEX "Yokohama mecantile exchange" in Japan. They reqeusted my intrest for investment on the mercantile option marked at YKMEX and want me to invest on the RBU13 Gasoline option.

First i hold them off for 2 weeks because i wanted to investigated there story and company. On line there was a lot of positive information about them availeble. Even on Bloomberg you could find there prospectus. It seems to be a trusted company with high credentials. Also the RBU13 and YKMEX checked out correctly

So i excepted there offer, Filled in the forms, send them back to there office opend up a account on www.YKMEX.org and made the money transfer.

I invested $ 5000,- on 5 options RBU13 and earned within 1 week $ 22617,-

After that i put an redraw order in my acount for $ 12000.-

The senior investment manager mr. Micheal Reed toke over my account from Helmud Olsen. He contacted me several times to convince me to step in with more money to make a so called "straddle" He wanted me to invest an additional $ 18.000,- According to him with $40.000 they could start the straddle. I refused and told him first to executed my redraw order. They informed me that it was only possible after the end of RBU13 on 27 august 2013.

On the 30th of august i contacted customer service of ykmex. I wanted to know when the redraw transfer would be send out. I got i confirming email from Mrs. Ana Wan Lee telling that the transfer would be send out on the 5th of September. Yesterday the 11th of september i checked my account again an nothing happend yet. Today i went again online but the YKMEX.org site was off-line. The same with Solomon-layb.com.

I think this confirms what i was already expected. a Scam and fraud.

Thanks for your attention.

And remember when things looks to good to be through, it probibly is.

Barend

Hello Everyone,

please read further steps to take, if you have not done so. I don't know if we will get to the result of having our money back, but I think we must try every possibile way

1. send email to HSBC FRAUD CENTRE in Hong Kong: I have done so and if they receive many reports, it could be good and they will invesigate the bank account.

address is: DFV.ENQUIRY@HSBC.COM.HK

2. ask you banks to send "CABLE CANCELLATION REQUEST" to HSBC of your bank draft: the NELCAST account is still open.

3. If you have reported officially to Police, we must try and send each other the references of the claim. We have to coordinate the claims.

My email is yokohama1_2013@libero.it

If you send me a personal email we could get into contact.

4. file a claim to Government Authority on Exchanges (in Italy CONSOB)
