Bauer Schmidt & Guenter BSG

We believe this is a loan scam. This firm ("BSG") has cloned two websites (David Merage's ICG and Brighton Capital Management's) as "bauerschmidtguenter.com" and "bauerschmidt-guenter.com". ICG and Brighton are legitimate businesses but BSG does not appear to be. They have been reported to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK by Brighton.

Our firm was approached by them under an alleged loan scam, presumably to pocket upfront fees. Luckily enough, we did not take this forward.

Mode Note: Please note that this post was made by the scammer himself in order to try and salvage his scam.

It has been left here for people to see how devious these thieves can be! He truly believes he can make false threats and we would believe it.

Dear,

I think it is not fair to post defamatory and negative comment about a company you probably have not had any transaction with, because i believe that if you have had any transaction with BSG, then it would have ended successfully, hence you will not post this negative comments.

I have assisted three of my clients to obtain loans from BSG for real estate and solar energy projects in Sweden, and everything went well and successful. I guess your post should be that anybody that has been cheated by BSG should come forward and indicate, and i am sure nobody will come forward.

There are many websites worldwide that look similar especially when firms are in the same line of business, that is not a guarantee that the firm is not genuine. I suggest you contact the management of BSG for clarification, because i spoke with a Director there, and he indicates that they would be willing to take legal actions against you for defamation (if only they can know who is actually hiding and posting such defamations).

I understand your position to try and sensitive the public, but we have to do this with decorum, and proof (not personal vendetta). So BSG has cheated anybody, the individual should please come forward and inform us. Also if you have had any successful transactions with BSG as well, kindly come forward and make comments.

Cheers

You stupid 419 scammer. Did you really think you could come here and fool us??

I hope you continue to lose victims.

Any loan company must be licensed, registered and regulated in your country. You will never pay any advance fee for a loan. Meet any loan provider face to face.

Just as an update. The firm in the UK whose website was cloned reported them to the Financial Conduct Authority (like SEC in the US) who are now after them. The BSG website has been shut down since and none of their emails work anymore...
