Ciao, I was living my normal life in Italy, when at the beginning of July 2013 I received a cold Call from a Marketing research company of Shanghai, they asked me if I was eventually interested in any financial investments.
After some days I was called by Dominic Marek from Solomon Layb.
Solomon Layb is the investment broker for the YKMEX "Yokohama mecantile exchange" in Japan.
I did my researches and It seemed all true Even on Bloomberg you could find their prospectus. It seemed to be a trusted company with high credentials.
He convinced me to trust him and I "invested" 5K USD on the mercantile option RBU13, Crude Oil option.
I excepted their offer, Filled in the forms, and on the 4th of July I send them back to their office opend up a account on www.YKMEX.org and made the money transfer to :
Beneficiary Name: Nelcast Limited
Beneficiary Address:
Kowloon Center
Ashley Road
Tsim Sha Tsui
Kowloon
Hong Kong
Bank Name: Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation
Bank Address:
Ocean Centre
Harbour City
Tsim Sha Tsui
Kowloon
Hong Kong
Account Number: 053 417 697 ***
Swift Code: H S B C H K H H H K H
Payment Reference No.: SL070413MF
After that The senior investment manager "mr". Micheal Reed took over my account.
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 $ 20.000,-
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.
RBU 13 moved well - my current balance should have been very near to have a so called straddle and Michael Reed told me he managed to requeste me only 5K USD to gain a lot, and according to the false account of YKMEX at the moment I should have had 386K USD
It doesn't here, because I was very much worried about taxes payment on such this big amount of money
and according to the double taxation agreement between Italy and Japan I had to pay 0,6% local TAXES
and so I did, on the 30 of July I trasfered circa 5K USD more on:
Beneficiary Name: Nelcast Limited

I was supposed to wait 45 days for my Japanese tax number.
On the 30th of august i contacted customer service of ykmex. I wanted to know when the redrawhal transfer would be sent out. I got i confirming email from Mrs. Ana Wan Lee :

Hello Everyone,
please read further steps to take:
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: [email protected]
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 [email protected]
If you send me a personal email we could get into contact.
4. file a claim to Government Authority on Exchanges (in Italy CONSOB)
Buongiorno
vi prego di continuare il ns. lavoro di denuncia con altri 4 passaggi, se non li avete già fatti. Non so se arriveremo al risultato, ma penso che dobbiamo fare tutto il possibile per provarci.
1. mandare email all'HSBC CENTRO FRODI di hong kong: io l'h*o fatto e se ricevono molte denuncie, puo' essere ottimo e possono indagare sul conto.
indirizzo è: [email protected]
Se volete, all'indirizzo a seguire vi posso mandare il testo di email in inglese già scritto ieri.
2. chiedere alle vs. banche di fare un "RICHIAMO DEL BONIFICO" alla HSBC, in quanto il conto NELCAST è ancora aperto.
3. Se avete fatto denuncia alla Poliza Postale, dovremmo vedere di informare le rispettive stazioni delle denuncie degli altri coinvolti.
la mia email per questo uso è: [email protected]
Se mi inviate copia, io vi invio la copia di denuncia da me fatta
4. inviare denuncia alla CONSOB all'indirizzo [email protected]
all'attenizone della dott.ssa Silvia Ulissi, Ufficio Tutela Consumatore, Vigilanza su Fenomeni Abusivi
