I attach (a translation of) my review to the Norwegian police and their confirmation of the review. My answers to your questions are: 1. Yes, there is a "Boiler Room Fraud" since more than six years. 2. Yes, I have been the victim of the fraud. 3. The attachments answers those questions - The initial contact was with Hibber Bothwell of Barcelona, followed by a contact by Mr. David Marshall from Atlantic Financials of Hong EFTA_R1_01735034 EFTA02568234 Kong. Both by phone. All contact and transfers were transacted through web-based bank services, with proper receipts. I can send you copies of all my documentations and transcript of e-mails. The timeline is described in my review. My loss is appr. 1.3 million USD. 4. Yes I have reported the case to both Norwegian (police and economic fraud department) and US (SEC and FBI / IC3) authorities. 5. I have been informed that it is unlikely that the criminals, although they operated from an HK address, is presently situated in HK, or that they ever were, but they used HK banks. What are the banks responsibilities in such criminal activities? Please do not hesitate to ask for further information or documentation - and as English is not my native language; please ignore my linguistic shortcomings.

(eg. Who contact you? By what means? What documents have they provided to you? When did the case happen? What is your loss?)
