And I was contacted 26th July by Brian archer from CDG (Centry Direct Group)trying to sell me the 1200 shares for $4.15

One word of advice, many different companies with the common nominator that they are all based in Asia have been trying to sell the EM international enterprises (EMIE) shares for around $4 since Feb 09 but nothing has happened with the shares. So forget the promising deal of making any money in 90 days or even being contacted again if you make the transaction.

Good luck and stay away from EMIE…

There is another company out there now, Century Direct Group (CDG) http://www.centurydirectgroup.com trying to sell the EMIE – WalMart deal for $4.15 and it is the same story as all the other comments above here but this time the names are Brian Archer and Kevin Tate.

I was contacted yesterday by CDG – Martin Bliss with the same story and he was happy to sell me 1200 shares at 4.45. I said I could buy a smaller quantity from my usual broker but he said this was part of a special institutional placement and that was the smallest value they could include. I agreed to go ahead subject to checking things out as i was not near a pc. He agreed and did a deal and got their compliance officer to call me back to confirm. I was told to expect an email confirmation. I have heard nothing so far…

Thanks guys,

same story, same company names and same great sales speech. I didn’t fall just because of my natural coldness of getting in such business.

Even if I spent a lot of time with the salesman, I never gave my strong agreement on the buy but I received a email confirmation included an invoice (I received the booklet and paper before). I replied immediatly to cancel and had no reply.
Today, they just called me because they bought the shares under my name (as they said …) and they just threated me to prosecute if I don’t pay. The mood was really different from the previous call. Of course I have never signed anything and the fact I had no reply and my cancellation email gave me legitimacy. After reminding me I (in fact nobody) bought the shares at 3.5 usd and now it is 4.5 usd and expect rise to whatever … he just asking me if I will pay “yes or no ?”

And then just reply no.

Now I have read your posts, I’m feeling better. Good to know the clues to track the scammers on internet. Thanks for all participation.

I make you a list of possible contact guy :
Mark Sherman, Richard Lynch, Christopher Warren (it was my lastest), Michael Sherman (Mark’s brother I presume), Bill Douglas … all of them have the same email

ps : according to the other forum, it seems LML Global http://www.lmlglobal.net is the same kind of scammers.

Comment on Barefoot Running (pt 3) – Patience, Puma and POSE by Cristina

I enjoyed reading about your barefoot adventures! I’ve only just started out myself, and have hovered over the “buy” button for a pair of FiveFingers many times but not yet actually bought them. I’ve only done 2 very short runs barefoot so far, but it was a really good feeling. I did have quite a lot of pain after the first session (and that was only 2×90 second bursts!), but not in my calves, more in the tendons and bones around my lower leg. It took 4-5 days to go away completely. I agree with Jaime on the FiveFingers, I also believe that less is more, although as I live in Amsterdam and don’t really have easy access to undisturbed nature running, I have to stick with parks and pavements, meaning a higher risk of glass and other sharp objects. So I’m thinking it could be a good idea to be on the safe side. I really enjoy the sensation of the pavement against my feet tho, the different textures and temperatures. It seems to add a new dimension to the experience!

It seems Addison are still going strong, I was contacted with the WalMart-EMIE deal a few months back, I deciding to sit that one out. Bill Douglas Contacted me yesterday morning with the latest hot tip, MPB Development Corp, to tell the truth I wasn’t give it my full attention, I was thinking about this forum.
I think he seemed to notice I was otherwise pre-occupied.
Their latest angle seems to be “because I don’t know you, I can’t let you in at a high level investment” we reserve the higher levels for our long term established clients”, the best he could do would be to let me in at the lower level of between 4 and 6k, Ain’t I the Lucky one? Hopefully to put a stop to him bothering me any more I e-mailed this link to him along with a few choice words,I’m also going to send in an article to Go Article and give them the publicity they deserve.

Similar story for me guys… except that I have been contacted by Tokyo (Tesco deal)and New Delhi (Walmart deal) (Jan & Feb ’09). Had been doing my own research… can stop now! Scam Scam Scam. Thanks for setting up the blog… and let’s hope others also have the mind-set to use search engines before parting with their hard earned cash!
