Everest Trade BVBA Scam.
An organisation calling itself Everest Trade BVBA is perpetrating a follow-on-fraud against the investor victims of the Essex and London scam. This follow-on-fraud uses the name of an existing, genuine company which is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK. Here is a LINK to the FCA register for the genuine company. FOR CLARIFICATION: THE GENUINE COMPANY IS NOT INVOLVED. ITS DETAILS HAVE BEEN CLONED BY THIS SCAM GROUP.
This scam was distributed four days after Essex and London investors received another follow-on-fraud approach. The first approach was made by Kingsgate Insolvency Services which we covered yesterday in this article [LINK].
Here is the email which investors have been receiving:

Dear
I am writing to confirm that this is an offer from a longstanding client that we represent ‘ Abu Dhabi Investment Authority’. Now should you choose to accept the offer we will be given a payment date within 3 – 5 business days. If you have a question regarding any compensation owed I recommend that you speak with Kingsgate Insolvency Services as unfortunately this is not my area of expertise. In regards to our fees, we our paid by the clients we represent, so should you decide to accept this offer you will not need to pay us any fees or commissions! With that being said all we ask is that once you are paid, that you consider a few investment ideas with us (no obligation)
Kind Regards

This email contains the Offer Letter below and a form for the investor to provide the scammers with his/her bank details. The Everest Trade BVBA scam will use the investors’ bank details. The email states that Everest Trade BVBA will not charge any fees, but one of its scam partners will definitely ask for money once it has got the investor believing that a large sum is about to be transferred.
