The internet is the playground for those scammers that build a cheap website
offering low cost or discounted goods, take your money but never send you a thing.
The more sophisticated scams that require the personal touch are normally run from telesales offices, if the scam is an investment opportunity, these telesales rooms are often referred to as Boiler Rooms.
Most Boiler Rooms have a registered company behind them, these companies are normally domiciled in such destinations as The Bahamas, The Seychelles, Bermuda, The British Virgin Islands or some other destination far and beyond easy reach.
Due to the fact that, these types of offshore jurisdictions are somewhat lax with
their company incorporation procedures and monitoring of those companies thereafter, this invariably invites the fraudsters in, and abuse of the system
inevitably follows.
So before dealing with any offshore company it is imperative you conduct adequate due diligence. Therefore, we have compiled a check list of questions and procedures in order to assist you with that due diligence.
