closed, your assets frozen, earn you a visit from the police and

iv)
No legitimate company would advertise for private citizens to operate
as unlicensed and
illegal money transfer agents. To do so clearly
defines the company AIF Investment Consulting
as both criminal and
fraudulent.
There is also a 'phishing' for
identity theft aspect due to the nature of identity proof requested,
i.e. 'Passport,
National ID Card or a
Driver's license.' Clear
evidence of criminal fraud.
That address is the same address that they used for their EURO Investment Solutions and their AFC
Financial Services frauds,
(now shut down). Clear
evidence of fraud. The above evidence is clear
proof that the AIF Investment Consulting
website is a fraudulent website set up with intent to deceive. If you
are an abuse team that has received an abuse report regarding these
fraudsters, please consider immediate termination of their services in
view of the absolutely undeniable evidence of criminal fraud - please
don't delay - these criminals will not respond to any communication
from you, (all their whois data is invariably false), but will simply
take advantage of any attempt at communication as a delaying tactic to
allow them time to carry on their criminal activity and prepare their
next network.
