Swiss Trust Trading Group AG

Investors Allege: Roger A. Brunner Swiss Trust Trading Group AG Fraud

Robert Brunner

Roger A. Brunner caused millions in damages.

Roger André Brunner, born June 4, 1968, last residing as Roger Rambow (Krummackerstrasse 16 and 483, 4622 Egerkingen, No. 16 = residence of ex (?)-partner Katy Rambow). From 2022 to 2024, Brunner raised at least 25 million CHF in investment funds for alleged forestry projects in Latin America and promised unrealistically high returns, partly through loans and partly from the sale of shares in Swiss Trust Trading Group AG (STTG, Hinterbergstrasse 18, CH-6312 Steinhausen). No credible documentation was ever provided. STTG is in liquidation; the bankruptcy petition was dismissed on September 18, 2025, due to lack of assets. Warnings: K-Geld warning on Debtor-Watch  Brunner is stringing along the victims with far-fetched and unsubstantiated “stories.” More in the detailed article.

Also been victimized? Experiences with Brunner? Current observations?

Roger A. Brunner, personal background, family, and criminal history

Born June 4, 1968, allegedly an “agricultural engineer who has been successfully active in the agricultural sector for over 30 years.”  Last registered addresses in 2025 at Krummackerstrasse 16 and 483, 4622 Egerkingen (though No. 483 does not exist).

Was married to or in a relationship with Katy Rambow, Egerkingen. Current relationship status unknown. Stepfather to two of Katy Rambow’s children, Anna Rambow and Mischa Rambow. Stepdaughter Anna Ivana Rambow, born Dec. 28, 1993, formerly of Zurich, currently in Thailand but without a permanent residence permit.  Stepson Mischa Rambow, reportedly with a spinal injury at the Nottwil Paraplegic Center (unconfirmed). The role of family members in Brunner’s fraudulent activities and the extent to which they benefited financially from them is unknown.

Prior to his new “business” activities in Switzerland before 2022, Roger André Brunner was sentenced to imprisonment in Germany.

Roger A. Brunner’s Companies

According to Brunner, Swiss Trust Trading Group AG (STTG AG) is allegedly “one of the largest agricultural companies in South America and one of the few worldwide that fully neutralizes its CO2 emissions.” The fact is: There is no evidence of a company of the same name in “South America,” nor of the complete neutralization of CO₂emissions. The Swiss company Swiss Trust Trading Group AG (STTG AG), headquartered at Hinterbergstrasse 18, CH-6312 Steinhausen, is in liquidation; the bankruptcy petition was dismissed on September 18, 2025, due to lack of assets.

In the UK, an STTG Limited is registered at 10 London Mews, Paddington, London W2 1HY. The directors are Roger André Brunner (last identity verification on April 24, 2026!) and Wernli, Eric Pascal (ditto).

Swiss Trust Trading Group (Montenegro) 130 OCTOBER REVOLUTION STREET, PODGORICA, Montenegro, registered since December 21, 2020. The managing directors are MILAN KRNJEVIC and ROGER ANDRE BRUNNER. The owner of the company is ROGER ANDRE BRUNNER. The company appears as “not blocked.”

A “Trust AG” (Paraguay) is also said to be a “member” of Swiss Trust Trading Group AG. Trust AG is reportedly headquartered in Asunción, Paraguay. No documents regarding this have ever been submitted. There is a Swiss Trust AG based in Zurich; it is a financially sound company, but it has nothing to do with Brunner.

Morongy SA, Paraguay, and Morongy AG, Zurich: There is a website with an address in Asunción, Paraguay, which is of limited value, lacking an imprint and any concrete names or facts. The company is listed in the Info Clipper directory. However, no reliable documents, such as an extract from the commercial register, have ever been submitted by the company in Paraguay. Morongy AG, Zurich, is now called Greenfield Partners AG and is headquartered at Hinterbergstrasse 186312 Steinhausen, the same address as STTAG. Brunner served on its board of directors until January 31, 2025. Today, Schneebeli, Joachim Ernst, and Schneider, Remo Reinhold are members of the board of directors.

Perfurturo Group AG: Brunner referred to the website , which is operated by the company HYPERLINK “https://www.perfuturo.com/” Perfurturo Group AG in 6372 Ennetmoos/NW. There is no personnel connection with Brunner.

Inceptum Capital AG, based in St. Gallen: Brunner was listed there in a registry in 2023 as an authorized signatory. The members of the Board of Directors are Dr. Andreas Meier, attorney, and Walter Andreas Farner. There is credible evidence that funds from STTG AG were laundered through Inceptum Capital AG.

Brunner’s Fraud Scheme

From Brunner’s prospectus: “The funds raised through the purchase agreement (referring here to the share purchase agreements with investors, author’s note) will be used for the rapid acquisition of Paraguayan rain-forest. The purchased rain-forest areas will be sold to a consortium of well-known insurance companies (Axa, Munic Re, Swiss Re, Allianz, Lloyds, Helvetia, and Perfuturo Holding). These companies intend to repurchase 200 million hectares of forest over time, and a corresponding contract with a fixed purchase price has been concluded. The insurance company purchasing the forests is thus a guaranteed buyer. For investors, this represents a fixed and secure buyer.”

There is no evidence of such a buyer of forest land. The fact is: Since the promised profit distributions to investors have not been made and STTG is in liquidation, no sales have taken place and were likely never actually intended.

Further from the prospectus: “In addition, a prominent figure among the 300 wealthiest Swiss, Mr. Max Rössler, guarantees the investment with his private fortune amounting to 50 million Swiss francs.” The aforementioned guarantee proved to be worthless or unenforceable.

The share purchase agreements known to us all date from 2024 and involve individuals from France and French-speaking Switzerland. Regarding the promised returns, the information Brunner provided to clients varies: “20% every 2 months,” “50% every 2 months,” “50% after 2 months, which can be reinvested. Later, a company would buy the shares.” It goes without saying that such profit promises are “beyond good and evil” and served solely to lure customers. The amounts invested range from CHF 6,000 to CHF 2 million per customer. Both small private customers, who hoped to easily increase their modest capital, and experienced business customers are affected.

The stock purchase agreements known to us are unlawful. The Brunner contracts contain fractional shares, such as “12.25 shares.” For a small, unlisted Swiss stock corporation, the general rule is that shares are issued only in whole units. Fractional shares, as are common with brokers, are highly unlikely; instead, a low par value is chosen or the number of shares is increased. If a Swiss stock corporation sells its own shares, it may do so only up to a maximum of 20% of the share capital; Brunner has evidently sold more. No resolution by the board of directors regarding the sale is known. Transfer documents (endorsement/transfer) are missing. Entry in the share register is mandatory for registered shares; a share register is not known and is unlikely to exist.

There are indications that Roger A. Brunner made ongoing payments through his companies from the new purchase price payments received until 2024. To whom these payments were made and for what purpose is not yet conclusively known. Possible scenarios include: 1. “Profit payments” to former customers based on earlier fundraising campaigns, i.e., payouts to investors from the investments of new customers (pyramid scheme). 2. Transfer of funds to straw men/women and accomplices to remove them from bankruptcy proceedings (which was also successful).

Brunner leaves behind millions in damages and continues to shamelessly string his creditors along.

According to available information, a sum in the single- to low double-digit millions is likely still under the control of Brunner or his accomplices and straw men/women. Informants report that Brunner is traveling extensively, flying first class, and staying at top-tier hotels.

Roger Brunner has been keeping investors at bay since 2025 with far-fetched and shameless stalling tactics, though he is succeeding in this less and less. This has prompted at least two other clients or client groups, in addition to our client group, to commission a debt collection mandate with another company or to take their own civil legal action.

Here are a few examples of Brunner’s stalling rhetoric:

April 21, 2026….Message from an unnamed sender to Brunner. He forwarded the message to investors, among others: “Hi Roger, we’ve now completed transactions totaling EUR 34 million in Turkey. The remaining 16 million will be finalized next week. In that regard, we’re on the right track, and the lawyer can ramp up his team in Dubai next week. What I’m still waiting for are the settlement agreements to be signed between the company in Dubai and the clients. Those are coming from another lawyer and aren’t available yet. But I’m going to put some pressure on them again.”

“In summary: The money is almost entirely in the accounts in Dubai, but the other lawyer handling the settlement agreements—the so-called STTG assignment and the new Dubai articles of association—has not yet delivered the final product!!”

04/26/25: “…. I picked up the conversation in a Bürki chat. Because the absolute worst-case scenario has happened to me. I left my bag on the train. My whole life was in there. Everything’s gone! I was just barely able to order a replacement SIM card. Not so easy without a passport and ID. Best regards, Roger Brunner (Brunner writes to other recipients that he lost the bag on a train in Switzerland).

05/04/25: “Brunner to …….: FYI. The buyback/settlement agreement was delivered yesterday by the law firm. We’re getting closer to wrapping this up. I forwarded the bank statement as of the end of April from our bank to Roger Bürki. The EUR 50 million has been posted. As I said, the doubters doubt because that’s just what doubters do. But there’s nothing we can do about that now, except let them doubt. Threats of criminal charges have become so rampant that these days anyone threatens to file a criminal complaint if their email isn’t answered within two days.

By the way, Milenko has made me a new offer. I’m going to finalize this with him now so that it’s off the table.

We’re in the home stretch! Of course, it’ll take some time to personally contact 350 customers and negotiate the settlement. I’m not sure how the Dubai team is proceeding—alphabetically, or what?! In any case, those who cooperated will be prioritized. Anyone who still files a claim with the bankruptcy office will be put at the back of the line (in any case, we’ll have to wait and see what the bankruptcy office decides). And those who may have filed criminal charges won’t get anything anyway until the proceedings are concluded. Best regards»

Readers can see for themselves that all these statements are completely unsubstantiated and “fantastical.” A typical “after-the-fact” argument used by scammers is to intimidate those who want to take legal action against them by threatening that they will be put at the back of the line or receive nothing.

Roger A. Brunner’s whereabouts

Brunner keeps his whereabouts secret for obvious reasons and spreads misinformation about them.

We know his movement patterns but, for tactical reasons, only disclose this information partially. For a long time, it appeared that Brunner was avoiding the Schengen Area. There were reports of meetings with him in Montenegro, Dubai, and other locations. Since 2026, this is likely no longer the case.

In commercial register entries, Brunner’s registered address was listed as Mariano Roque Alonso (PY). However, such entries are not verified by the commercial registry offices and are accepted without documentation. There is documented proof of an address from 2025 in Egerkingen, Switzerland.

Have you also been harmed? Or do you have further information about Roger A. Brunner?

  • Did you receive any income payments from Brunner?
  • Did you have personal contact with Brunner in 2025 or currently in 2026, or have you personally observed him or received information about him from reliable sources?

Online trading scams are out there. Traders must be suspicious

BEWARE OF: Online-Binary Options, FOREX, CFD trading & Crypto Trading Platforms

Online trading has become a common tool for small and independent investors.

Back in 2005, binary options boomed, and the promises of easy trading and high returns lured millions of users from around the world.

Unfortunately, these new and fancy trading tools are often operated by the same old scammers that have took the world by storm with binary option platforms. Creating new types of trading allowed financial scammers to build a mine field; every move is another option to make money directly from their customers, backed up with false hopes and dreams that are pumped to excite their way out of money.

Once a Scam is exposed, the scammers simply change the name and register a new company in a different country. Using fake names and locations (just as the binary fraud managed to keep working for so long) many CFD trading platforms and crypto trading platforms keep under the radar, making it impossible to know for sure to know the true identities of the people in charge of the frauds.

It took over 10 years for the global financial authorities to notice the tremendous amounts of money disappearing using this type of scam trading and exposing the tactics of the biggest global financial fraud we have experienced in the last decade.

Yet, although financial authorities have restricted, sanctioned and shut down many scam companies, regulating the field for the targeted investors, these scam companies have found a way to continue scamming through newer mediums.

Once the world started to recognize that binary options is a lie; an elaborated scam built to take every cent they can, and repaying nothing but stress and tragedies, platforms suddenly started to vanish as if they are a world known magician, leaving thousands of investors heart broken and in big financial debt.

 “Victims Take Action”

Private investors, scam victims, think that they have nowhere to turn too, they have been scammed out of their money, which is not backed up by any government or financial authority.

After years of helping binary options scam victims, our associate partners specialize in services that have helped investors recover more than £10 million.

***Brent Borland*** Canyon Acquisitions Fraud??

Investors allege that between 2007 and 2010, hundreds of Canadian residents of Ontario and Quebec invested between $25 and $100

Wayne Robbins

Wayne Robbins

Million Dollars in what is being called a major fraud scheme perpetrated by US based Canyon Acquisitions and affiliated companies.

According the findings of the Ontario Securities Commission, CANYON ACQUISITIONS and it’s principles Brent BORLAND of Delray Beach-Florida, Wayne ROBBINS of Jupiter-Florida and Marco CARUSO of Bedford-Texas, enticed and misrepresented investments in various resort development projects in the Dominican Republic and Southern Belize.

Marco Caruso

Marco Caruso

The development Projects in Belize include:

  • COPAL BEACH RESORT
  • PLANCENCIA ESTATES AND PANTHER GOLF CLUB
  • RENDEVOUS ISLAND RESORT
  • THE MARINA AT THE PLANCENCIA
  • PLANCENCIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
  • THE MARINA VILLAGE AT THE PALENCIA

http://www.canyonacquisitions.com/canyon-acquisitions-copal-beach.htm#

Developments in the Dominican Republic Include:

  • RIBERA DEL CARIBE
  • RIVERA DE CHAVON

The 2013 Canyon and it’s principles were found guilty and a Judgment was issued by the Ontario Securities which stated;

“Canyon U.S., Canyon Nevis, Borland, Robbins, Caruso and the Caruso Companies traded and engaged in, or held themselves out as engaging in, the business of trading in securities, where no exemptions were available, without being registered to trade in securities, contrary to section 25. 

Borland and Robbins, as officers and/or directors of Canyon U.S. and Canyon Nevis, did authorize, permit or acquiesce in the commission of the violations of section 25, 53, 122(1)(a) and 126.2(1) of the Act, set out above, by Canyon U.S. and Canyon Nevis, contrary to section 129.2 of the Act and acted contrary to the public interest of the Act.

Canyon made false and misleading statements in written communications, as described above in paragraph 40(i). By doing so Canyon breached s. 126.2(1) of the Act. Borland made incorrect statements during an interview with Staff. By doing so Borland breached s. 122(1)(a) and contrary to the public interest.”

Canyon breached and is in default of its 2013 settlement agreement with the OSC and delinquent on payments of approximately $1.4M for not following through with the payment of fines, sanctions and disgorgements.

According to sources close to Canyon has operated openly within the US, but has overtly tried to avoid US Securities regulatory requirements to include having advised certain employees and brokers to not solicit from US investors.

Although, court records indicate there have been few lawsuits filed by US investors, there were a few cases where exceptions were made that ended with filing of court actions.

None of the touted projects have ever been completed and Canyon has defaulted on agreements with investors and failed to produce the promised annual returns which were said to have been high as 20%.

To date the investors have lost all of principle. In many cases victims were near or at retirement age having lost their entire retirement savings. While Brent Borland along with his wife Alana LaTorra {Managing Director of Placencia Acquisitions LLC} appear to live a lavish lifestyle among the high society types in the greater Boca Raton/Miami area and Sag Harbor New York.

Brent & Alana Borland

Brent & Alana Borland

A number of investors contacted said that the reason they felt comfortable and confident in the investments with Canyon was that they were assured that their money was safe as they were directed to send their funds to a US Attorney Daniel Holliday III based in Baton Rouge Louisiana.  Investors were told that the Attorney had been retained by Canyon to act as an “Escrow Agent” of behalf of investors and that their money would be held safely in Escrow by Holliday and used only to collateralize the developments.

Recently it’s been learned that an private international group  was hired by investors to launch a global investigation into the allegations.

A source close to the investigation advised that “Canyon” established a sophisticated network of at least 40 offshore companies primarily domiciled in the Caribbean and Central America. Structures of this are commonly used in these types of schemes to launder and/or secrete illicit proceeds.

RIAZ MAMDANI-Accused Fraudster-Shot in Assassination Attempt!

Riaz Mamdani

Millionaire real estate developer alleged Fraudster Riaz Mamdani was ambushed and shot outside his Mount Royal home Monday.

Calgary police were called just after 8 a.m. to the front of a house in the 2200 block of 7th St. S.W. where they found a man inside a car suffering from gunshot wounds. Mamdani, chief executive and founder of the real estate investor Strategic Group {AKA: Platnum Equities}, was identified as the victim by a company spokeswoman, who said he is in stable condition.

Police said in a release Monday afternoon that the shooting was likely targeted, though an exact motive is not known.

“The shooter definitely knew where he was and who he was going after,” Staff Sgt. Travis Baker said. “I don’t know what the motive was at this point, but we believe that the shooter knew where he was and what he was doing.”

Mamdani-Rolls Royce

A Rolls-Royce Phantom with front-end damage and bullet holes through the windshield was cordoned off by police in front of the Mamdani home, among the most valuable homes in Calgary.

“As for the damage to the front of the vehicle, we believe that was a result of the victim hitting the gas pedal and running into a stationary object,” Baker said. “I believe it was a barricade of some sort.”

Baker said Mamdani was in the driver’s seat of the vehicle and suffered multiple injuries. At least one other person was in the vehicle at the time of the shooting, but Baker would not comment on that person’s relationship to Mamdani.

Not long after the shooting and several blocks away, fire crews responded to reports of multiple explosions in the 3800 block of 7th Street S.W.

Fire department spokeswoman Carol Henke said when firefighters arrived they found a Hyundai Santa Fe on fire in an alley parked between two garages.

Crews extinguished the fire in the empty vehicle, but not before the flames damaged the garages.

“We’re certainly looking into both of them with the strong suspicion that maybe they’re connected,” Baker said. “Arson is looking at that side of it, but they’re working hand in hand with us.

A search of court documents revealed a long list of grievances against Mamdani.

The businessman is named as a defendant in two class action lawsuits, one of which claims $10 million in damages, and another in which investors claim they lost $200 million — the latter which was certified last year.

The $10-million claim, filed in June 2014, alleges Mamdani was involved in an investment deal in which investors in Alberta, Ontario and B.C. agreed to purchase a parcel of land through two Platinum Lands corporations.

Their claim states the investors raised $6.4 million to fund the purchases from SSAM Land Corp.

But it says SSAM, for which Mamdani was the directing mind, claimed the transaction was never closed because it had only received $5.7 million from the Platinum companies, controlled by defendant Shariff Chandran.

“At all relevant times, Mr. Chandran and Mr. Mamdani were close and long-term business partners in the real estate business in Alberta,” it says.

The lawsuit alleges the two parties conspired to collect the investors’ money “and then … wrongfully take the investor funds for their own personal benefit.”

In the certified class action lawsuit, individuals — including Mamdani — and companies associated with the Platinum Group have been sued over allegations of misused investments.

Gregory Tindall-REWARD $100,000*

WANTED-GREGORY DENNIS TINDALL & PAMELA M. (Lovestead) TINDALL.

Greg & Pam Tindall

Greg & Pam Tindall

Between 2001 and 2009 GREGORY DENNIS TINDALL {DOB: 2 November 1960} and DALE JOSEPH EDGAR ST. JEAN {DOB: 8-May-1959} Citizens of Canada (Alberta), acted as the ‘Primary’ co-conspirators to defraud hundreds of investors from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA and Europe of more than $80,000,000.00 (EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS), in what is being referred to as one of the most Brazen “PONZI” Schemes in Canadian history.

On or about September 8 2010, GREGORY “Greg” TINDALL and his wife PAMELA “Pam” M. (Lovestead) TINDALL sold their house in the Crystal Shores area of Okotoks, Alberta for $975,000 after putting it on the market in May 2010.

The couple subsequently fled Alberta, along with their two adopted children SHYLER & MIKALA.

Family members concerned for the safety and well being of the children have contacted law-enforcement to report that they consider the children to be endangered.  People close to the Children have stated that it is HIGHLY unusual that the children have not attempted to make no contact although strong relationships were the norm prior to the families disappearance.

The Tindalls may have altered their appearance and that of the Children as well.

If anyone has information regarding the welfare and location of the children you are URGED to contact this forum!

(Additional Photos of the missing children are included below)

GREG TINDALL and his wife remain fugitives and are likely living under assumed identities. Ongoing search efforts are focused on a number of foreign jurisdictions.

  A “Red Notice” is said to be imminent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpol_notice

PAMELA originates from Saskatchewan Canada. The children, Shyler & Mikala-now approx. 16 and 20 years-old respectively have always been home schooled.

PAMELA also has an adult biological daughter residing in Calgary who was born prior to her marriage to GREG TINDALL, for the sake of privacy identified only as RC.

GREG’s family & mother reside in the Okanagan {Kelowna} area of British Columbia, relations in GREG’s family may be strained.

PAMELA’s family with whom relations seem stronger reside in her ‘home’ Province of Saskatchewan.

Pamela’s Sisters {LANA NJAA & ROBYN KONDRATOWICZ} came to Okotoks to help move household belongings when the TINDALL’s fled, they likely know of the suspects whereabouts.

Shortly after fleeing Canada, TINDALL sold a ski type boat to a US citizen in Nebraska without proper paperwork. A criminal complaint is pending.

Investigators close to the case conclude from the outset, that TINDALL was the guiding mind and principle of the scheme  who controlled and facilitated the ‘laundering’ and secretion of the illicit proceeds of the crime.

 

DETAILS OF THE FRAUD:
TINDALL and ST. JEAN founded numerous “Shell” companies under their two Flagship entities firstly TRANSBANC {circa 2001-2005} then changed the name to TRANSCAP {2005 forward} following Canadian regulatory action.

The Suspects formed an additional company-STRATA TRADE as an “exempt market” vehicle in order to make their fraudulent enterprises eligible to solicit and accept RRSP {retirement accounts} investments into the Scheme.

Witnesses and victims describe GREG TINDALL as a semi-intelligent and aloof man who seemed close only to his ‘immediate’ family. 

TINDALL was known to wager both on stocks and online gambling sites and enjoy watching MMA fighting matches and “go-cart” racing.

For reasons unknown-as the scheme began to collapse, ST. JEAN voluntarily took responsibility and acted as the “fall-guy” and  “patsy” for TINDALL.

Witnesses who knew both TINDALL and ST. JEAN stated; TINDALL had very little respect for ST. JEAN, openly talked down and disparagingly about ST. JEAN considering him to be easily manipulated.

The contention of many is that TINDALL recognized St. JEAN as a person he could control and manipulate. The fact that ST. JEAN’s wife {PRISCILLA Wolfe} was an ‘Investment Manager’ may have motivated TINDALL to bring them into the fold.

In early 2006, St. JEAN made statements in ‘confidence’ to witnesses that TINDALL was not providing funds to pay interest payments and that he was forced to use new investors money to make redemption payments.

None of the facts herein are meant to absolve DALE St. JEAN of criminal culpability. Had he not have known at the beginning that the scheme was built on false promises and lies, he certainly knew a significant time before the collapse and was happy to entice new Investors.

 

TIER-2 “Parties of Interest”:
RONALD NORMAN LITTLE {St. JEANS “chief-lieutenant”-prime broker who earned approx. $3M +/- in illicit commissions-is said to be residing in Swan Lake Campground – 7235 Old Kamloops Rd, Vernon BC }

D. GENO BRUNTON {California ‘businessman’ associate of St. Jean & Tindall who elicited approx. $1M from victims in a fraudulent recovery scheme.}

SHERI PIDKOWA {Executive assistant/Bookkeeper for TransCap living in Calgary Alberta}

BLAIR CARMICHAEL {Principle broker for TransCap-netted over $1M in commissions from the sales of the illicit investment}

JIM LANTZ {Principle & Partner broker to Blair Carmichael-netting over $700,000.00 in Commissions}

RICHARD W. DEVRIES {Attorney/Canadian living in the Bahamas who was involved in the initial formation and structure of the scheme}

 

Should anyone have information pertaining to the location of GREG & PAMELLA TINDALL or evidence against them please contact this forum.

Additional information including a full report of the investigation and criminal actions are forthcoming.

 

MESSAGE TO DALE ST. JEAN or GREGORY TINDALL: Should you wish to resolve this matter without further actions you are advised to contact [email protected] immediately.

 

(*A reward UP TO $100,000.00 is being offered based on production of credible information leading to the location/capture and/or recovery of an established amount of the stolen money. A progressive or negotiable reward is also being offered for credible information leading to just the location of TINDALL and his family and/or facilitation of recovery.)

In June of 2006, Jeff LEE incorporated a separate, but similarly named company-“INCARE Cargo Express, Inc.” and opened a corporate bank account at a local Los Angeles Bank.

LEE then began intercepting checks made out to INCARE Cargo Services Inc., and deposited them into his new account.

LEE also managed to acquire an INCARE Cargo Services Stamp which he used to endorse checks written to INCARE Cargo Services Inc.  In addition to falsely endorsing checks made payable to INCARE Cargo Services Inc.

Further, LEE misappropriated INCARE Cargo Services Inc. customer list which eventually put INCARE out of business.

The theft was discovered when the elderly victim contacted a customer regarding a late payment. The customer provided a copy of canceled checks with endorsements, which prompted the victim to contact all of his customers – discovering the scope and magnitude of the crime.

Shortly after the theft was discovered LEE also misappropriated INCARE’s customer list to his brother-in-law companies’ HCLM Express Services Inc. and Up Swing Logistics, registered at 8717 Aviation Boulevard, Inglewood, CA.

Will steal your money! In this case they stole over $1,600,000.00 and did
knowingly cause losses to investors in excess of $2 Million Dollars

They will promise you they can effect major financial transactions
or investments with incredible returns then rob you blind!

Here’s the summary of the case:

Lidio Rancharan

Lidio Rancharan

In February of 2006, numerous potential investors/victims attended an investment seminar in the state of Washington put on by a group out of Vancouver, WA. One of the local presenters was a man by the name of Kurt Bowker. Other local names are currently being withheld pending further investigation. It is now understood that none of the persons involved in marketing the investment product were licensed to do so.

The investment proposal was purported to produce a high yield with a monthly cash flow using Life Insurance Policies that the group would purchase and subsequently sell at a profit to institutional investors. Then the group would see a return of their investment to the tune of 15-30% monthly.

Based on the convincing presentation, written prospectus and the name-dropping of investment companies like Fidelity, the group bought into the pitch. Over the next several weeks the group put together approximately $2.3 Million Dollars to invest in this scheme.

The group was told initially that the funds invested were being used to purchase 3 life insurance policies, 2 policies with a $10 Million benefit and one with a $3 Million dollar benefit payout for a total of $23 Million US Dollars. Ultimately, the promised returns never came to fruition.

Later it was discovered that these same Life Insurance Policies were utilized by Lidio Rancharan to bilk investors out $100’s of Thousands of dollars from a separate group of victims in Canada.

Early on in the first few months of the scheme, some or the Washington affiliated investors became nervous and were actually able to withdraw or recover approx. $350,000.00.

When returns did not begin as promised, the group began pressuring the local, Vancouver Washington accomplices who finally admitted that they were not in control of the subject policies. In fact the policies were under the control of “Vault LLC” company that was owned by Mark and Betty Segovia who seem to bounce around from the states of New York, Georgia, Arizona, California to Panama.

Shortly after this realization, in September of 2006 the first of many weekly conference calls were held with Mark Segovia/ZIO Segovia. During these calls Segovia continued promising to make good on the investments with various other “Deals” he was making, always indicating that even though the policies hadn’t been turned over for a profit that they still existed and the investors money was secure.

This was the story from Mark Segovia (Zio Segovia) up until the first months of 2008. It was around this time that the investors learned that Mark Segovia had allowed the all three of the Life Insurance Policies to lapse by failing to pay the premiums. On top of that the Segovia’s “Gutted” the cash value of the policies to the tune of $1,600,000.00 and absconded with the money that was rightly the property of the investors.

Once the investors confirmed and collected sufficient evidence to support their findings, they confronted Segovia, who is currently “on the lamb” residing in Panama acting as a financial consultant for Grupo Bannorth Bank. Once confronted with the overwhelming evidence, Mark Segovia conceded that he had indeed drained the cash value from the policies and allowed all of the policies to lapse. . It was also learned that Bowker was allegedly paid off by Segovia to the tune of $250,000.00 and then fled Washington and started another business in Arizona.

Victims of this scam at one point were advised by the Segovia’s, that they were represented by one Mr. Albert Coleman, an attorney out of the Atlanta area. When contacted Mr. Coleman denied any personal involvement in the scam to the victims, however did supply significant information and documentation as to his role and involvement in the set-up and structure of Segovia’s web of business entities.

As late as January 2009, Mark (Zio) and Betty Segovia continue to make empty promises to return the stolen money. But, it is apparent that all have been just a ploy to stall and put off the investors in hopes that they will not actually take any action and just go away.

International Fraud Alert spoke with an official at the GlobalAdvocates.ch, who advised that they had been brought into the matter by one of the investors to examine the issue from a criminal perspective and attempt to possibly mediate the situation to resolution.

IFA has concluded from the information from various sources that Mark Segovia (Zio Segovia) continues to attempt to entice others from his hideout in Panama City, Panama. In fact it is alleged that Mark-Zio Segovia lives a very highlife on the backs of unsuspecting victims with promises of riches and financial success. Our belief is that Segovia does nothing more than entice, induce and scam unsuspecting victims into being defrauded out of their hard earned money.

In fact IFA has learned that this incident is not the first time that Mark Segovia’s nefarious activities have caught up with him. If would seem that he was party to a legal action in 2004 in Federal Court for allegedly the same type of conduct against a Mr. Peter Fagan and Comanche Investments the court issued a judgment against Segovia for approximately $500,000.00.

Mark Segovia is described as: Black Male, approx. 47 yoa, with a dark complexion, 5’10-6’00 ft tall, 180-200 lbs, likes to dress in expensive clothes and speaks with a slight European/Caribbean accent and a silver tongue.

Betty Segovia: is believed to work as a flight attendant out of the Atlanta area on route(s) between Phoenix and San Diego, CA.

Bottom-line WARNING to the public, BEWARE of Mark (aka: Zio) and Betty Segovia, Lidio Rancharan or anyone associated with them. These crooks will claim to be able to assist you in making large sums of money in their investment programs and it is a scam they will take your money laughing all the way to the bank, leaving you broke.

JIM FRAZIER

IFA: OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

DBA: Orbit Petroleum/Pyramid Petroleum
(Operates out of Oklahoma City, Irving/Houston Texas, New Mexico, Calgary Alberta)

Update 2018:

IFA has been advised that – Jim Frazier currently works as Chief Financial Officer for “Sixty Six Oilfield” (https://www.sixtysixoilfield.com/), a subsidiary of 665 Energy in Oklahoma City, OK and operates out of an office located at 9620 S. Pennsylvania Ave. Oklahoma City, OK 73159, and owns 20 million shares of 665 stock, ticker symbol SSOF.

Jim Frazier and his companies will steal your money. In this case he defrauded his victim for nearly $200,000.00. Numerous other victims where also taken for nearly $2,000,000.00 (Accused of stealing in excess of two million U.S. dollars) Jim Frazier will promise incredible returns on Oil Well Investments, pocket your money & you will never hear from him again.

Offense Summary:

The Complainant, a resident of the state of Georgia, advises that he was victimized by a subject identified as Jim Frazier, President of Orbit Petroleum (pictured above) at the time operating out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The victim alleges that Jim Frazier did in fact knowingly steal and/or by deceptive means defraud him in the amount of $187,500.00 (One Hundred Eighty Seven Thousand Five Hundred U.S. Dollars).

www.orbitpetro.com

In late 2006, Jim Frazier solicited the victim regarding what Jim Frazier referred to as an incredible investment opportunity in an oil well project located in New Mexico. At the time the victim had been looking for a secure investment to assist with paying for tuition for his two children who were attending college.

Jim Frazier delivered and investment prospectus and supporting geological survey documentation on a particular project he referred to as the “Chavaroo Oil Field” in New Mexico. Over the course of the next several weeks he contacted the victim numerous times by way of phone, fax, email and U.S. Postal Service.

Jim Frazier enticed the victim by promising that there was NO way to lose, as the investment was “full proof”. Jim Frazier assured that leases of the Chaveroo site secured the investment and that the leases value far exceeded the amount of the investment.

The pitch and the prospectus indicated that the investment was divided into “Units” and that each “Unit” had an actual value of $70,000.00. In fact in follow-up correspondence Jim Frazier indicated that each Unit had an actual value of $76,227.00. However, Jim Frazier purported that in order to raise the necessary operating capitol for the bountiful Chavaroo oil field the Units were being offered at a reduced rate of $37,500 each.

Further, Jim Frazier Guaranteed the units were to produce a return of $1,000.00 per month each. Jim Frazier called this investment scheme “OPPJV” (Orbit Petroleum, Partnership Joint Venture). The investigation into this matter has uncovered an important piece to the puzzle in relationship to the value of the “Units” that Jim Frazier represented to the victim.

In February of 2008, a “RICO” lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court in the Central District of California. The complaint surrounds this very same scam that Jim Frazier and his Co-Conspirators played on a separate group of people. The “Complaint” alleges that between April 2006 and July 2006, Jim Frazier was instrumental in the inducement of 16 different victim for a total of $2,288,000.00 (Two million two hundred and eighty eight thousand U.S. Dollars)

In this situation Jim Frazier and company pitched that there existed 100 “Units” in the Orbit OPPJV each having a value of $100,000.00. Ultimately Jim Frazier and his cronies induced these victims into buying a total of 26 “Units” at a price of $88,000.00 each. As in the case with our victim the Federal Court record indicates that the money was converted and stolen, leaving the victims with nothing.

In December of 2006, Jim Frazier had finally convinced the case subject victim that this scam was legitimate and he wired Jim Frazier $187,500 which amounted to his children’s entire college fund. In exchange for this investment the victim was to receive 5 units and immediately begin receiving $5,000.00 a month in returns, but none ever came to fruition.

The Share Price of Orbit Petroleum as of January 2009 was $.07 a share.

By July of 2007, Orbit Petroleum entered into bankruptcy proceedings in New Mexico. Further, at about the same time Jim Frazier sold the Chaveroo oil field Leases that supposedly secured the victim(s) investment to Ridgeway Petroleum, who subsequently changed their name or “EOR” (Enhanced Oil Recovery), for a measly $600,000.00 which amounts to about 6% of the value that Jim Frazier had stated in writing.

Investigation has shown that Jim Frazier has left a path of financial destruction for numerous individuals and companies. A source at Tipton Oil advised that they had originally had been hired by Jim Frazier to operate the Chavaroo field however Jim Frazier made no real attempt to make the Chavaroo site a legitimate operation and that his claims of the potential production were nothing more than embellishments to entice unsuspecting victims. Tipton also said that Chavaroo had been all but pumped dry and more or less shutdown for lack of production.

Further, the Tipton source stated Jim Frazier defrauded their company out of literally millions of dollars. They also say that once Jim Frazier had begun the bankruptcy in New Mexico, he began selling off assets of Orbit in violation of Federal Bankruptcy Law.

Tipton has filed Lawsuits against Jim Frazier who has been represented in court by a John Green an attorney who works for another oil company called, Pyramid Petroleum.

pyramidpetroleum.com

Pyramid has since hired Jim Frazier as their Cheif Financial Officer.

Tipton oil sources speculate that Pyramid may have become involved with Jim Frazier in order to place themselves in a position to absorb some of Jim Frazier or Orbit’s ill-gotten assets. All attempts to contact Jim Frazier, Orbit Petroleum, Mike Myers (current president of Orbit) and Pyramid have been ignored by all.

A source at GlobalAdvocates.ch advises that they were asked by the victim in November of 2008 to investigate and advocate as his behalf. They believe that the evidence will show that Jim Frazier violated numerous state and federal laws.
