It just means that the domain has been registered in the past to someone else.

The current registrant has owned it for 5 months. A continuous registration would be reflected in the registration date.

devastating!

I don't understand how there is zero information online about them being scammers.

They make a big effort to look very professional.

- When I called them out as a fraudental company, some guy of the legal department would call me and go through all my concerns.
- After purchasing shares, they provide street name certificates of officialy registred companies in HongKong (to be identified on governmental websites)
- But there is always something new coming up: first it was purchasing more shares to be able to participate in a fix price sell later. Then it was about selling the shares and finally release the funds, but, now they ask to purchase indemnity shares because the buyers bank wants to execute the deal on indemnity securities. Since it is an agreement under disclosure, they are not telling me the bank and also I can't do the indemnity security right with the bank, but through the broker itself and they will 'forward' it to the bank..

KANGYO YOKOHAMA SECURITIES COMMENTS AS ASIAN STOCKS END MIXED IN HOLIDAY-THIN TRADE, BUILDING ON GAINS OVERNIGHT




Kanyo Yokohama Securities has commented on Asian stock markets on Thursday ended slightly lower as top venue China started a market breakthrough February 21 to mark the Lunar New Year while Hong Kong also shut and Singapore was on holidays Friday and Monday.

Overnight, following the release of a report showing manufacturing activity in China expanded for the sixth month, the domestic equity market was closer to breaking a run of weekly losses.

The shares of automakers soared after well-received financial updates, and as investors appeared to regain their appetite for riskier assets.

Those moves were helping steer the market sentiment ahead of long vacations, though fears over Trump’s trade policy remained following a summit with Japanese prime minister.

Alex Parker, Director of Corporate Equities at Kangyo Yokohama Securities commented “Midway through the session, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index gained 0.3 per cent, powered in part by the basic materials group. Australia’s ASX/200 Index fell 0.3 per cent, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index ended flat.”

Data released this morning showed that China’s PMI index was recently up to 53.2 in January from a final reading of 51.2 in December, as export orders grew firmly last month.

The figure remains well supported above the 50.0 mark for the seventh consecutive month, adding to hopes over a stronger recovery pace in the world’s second-largest economy.

Japanese stocks also advanced even as the yen approached the 120 level for the first time in six months, as the dollar dropped. Yen strength can hurt sales of Japanese exports in overseas markets, and in turn, hurt shares of companies at home.

Based on their advert listed on a fake / spoof website of Forbes . Im prepared to call it 100% scam . I guess Bloomberg is not that reliable any more . Perhaps they're more interested in collecting listing or advertising fees .

I might also add , it appears that one advert is the only content on that entire fake forbes website . If you have lost money you should report this to your state / national police and also on the IC3 Website .

The Bloomberg page isn't loading for me at the moment, but when I looked at it earlier, it mentioned that the information on that page came from a newswire service. Looks like someone has picked up on a fake press release and published it as fact.
