I have been livin’ in Indonesia for years and in early 2011 I got cold called from a Marketing company said they were sending over some information. A few weeks later I received a brochure from an investment company in Korea that looked legit. I then received a phone call from a Seppo telling me about a green energy company. I wired 5000 euros to them and long story short I lost everything to boiler room. Someone at my office has received a very similar brochure for a company called IAM Group Ltd. out of Japan. They are calling out of a virtual office http://www.servcorp.com/en/locations/worldwide-locations/yokohama/toc-minato-mirai
Also the website registration was just done last year and its not under the same name:

If you are dealing with this company be very very careful.
Not only do they ask for a copy of your Passport, but also a signature sample and recent bank statements or utility bills.. They could be accessing your bank accounts or using the information to steal your identity and open accounts and run up huge debts.
They also only have two post on the site, from July 1, 2013 and from July 21, 2013. Both of which contain grammatical errors and mistakes that wouldn't be on a real companies website.
If they have been in in business since 2003 then why are there only two post both from the year that the site was first hosted?
I hope to keep at least one person from losing money like I did.
