Yes, this is a scam. A friend of mine has just lost 125k to this. He got involved before this e-mail thread started, so it was missed by myself and relatives when we suspected this was a scam. Besides the inconsistencies highlighted in this thread, the lead image of people on the home page Of H & A Lux Global is actually the Executive Team of the Claremont Council in Western Australia. (reverse image search) Also a relative of the victim has contacted the Canary Wharf Group, the supposed address of H & A and the 8th floor is actually occupied by HSBC, they have not heard of H & A Lux
I have reported the fraud to the Australian Federal Police "ACORN" cybercrime website with
ARN ref ARN-XCPF-GX8D. Please reference this if you are also reporting this scam....perhaps it will prompt some AFP response. As this scam is still in operation, I am suggesting it would not be useful to contact either the H & A website or the associated Saxons Exchange site, as they will vanish the instant they have been alerted. I wonder if they have might not already be alerted by this thread through keywords, after all this was how I found this thread. This is obviously a sophisticated operation involving more than one person (my victim friend has been contacted by different people within "the company'), would they have people looking out for web noise about their scam????
You have been warned!
