Scam still active as of March 2007
Known participants and AKA's:
Nancy Gale
Al Levi
Susan Altman
Al Dobbins
Anthony Tobin
Eyal Itshak Dulin
Bertus Sieckmeijer
Anthony Oppenheim
Synopsis of their operations – (period 2004-2005)
Tobin (or associates) monitor legitimate funding web sites for their victims. You receive a well-worded E-mail that you have been selected to be reviewed for funding.
They invite you to Atlanta, GA for a “Face to Face” meeting with their team. Typically you spend three days with them. Prior to leaving Atlanta, you sign a non-disclosure agreement. At this point there is no mention of fees.
The due diligence process takes a few weeks and you receive an Email saying their analysis is complete and congratulations. Tobin and Dulin are assigned to assist you with the formation of a Bahamian Corporation and to assist in securing an offshore banking relationship.
For Global Reach, this process took 3 to 4 months and cost about $55,000. Once Global Reach Ventures, Ltd. was formed and Sentinel Bank (Bahamas) had reserved a bank account, they began another 3-month process to get final funding approval from the trust.
Global Reach is now out $70,000 to $75,000.
This scam is well thought out and well run. Our due diligence on ECI and Sieckmeijer did uncover an active company with significant assets and doing business worldwide. ECI is (was) listed on various European trading organizations and its Asian assets listed as well.
At this point we know of (at least) five other US companies taken by ECI, and Seickmeijer. There are likely many more.
