"Data Control" 

They are back.

We dealt with the financial wizardry of the World Business Registration complex once before. 

A whole network of domains, not companies(!), is now again sending out the semi-official looking forms to advertise worthless business lists that nobody is interested in any way. It is apparently an international network of bogus companies that are using ready-made forms to dupe companies.

This has been going on for years.

In addition, there are numerous indications that the initiators are involved in other scams. The entry in the register allegedly costs 995 euros per year and in the small large print there is a note that the subscription for the meaningless entry has to be paid for three years in advance, otherwise Waldberg & Hirsch Global Collections Ltd, another subsidiary of the internationally operating list-suckers, will come. 

Mhr K van Ruler, probably a clumsy identity thief of a well-known professor in the Netherlands, or a beautiful Helena from wherever, is rapidly dunning the money. Here it is an office in Madrid. 

Also, other links lead into circles of scammers and other rip-off artists.

Here, neither Waldberg & Hirsch Global Collections Ltd. nor the actual company is shy away from threatening the alleged debtors with physical and psychological violence.  Based on false claims, the alleged debtors then receive bad credit reports in the UK, the Netherlands, the Nevis - West Indies and Romania, where the subsidiaries of the aforementioned are located. A company is said to have been founded in Romania in 2005 with the same claim. 

For years, the theatre has been dealing with an obscure company defined by a post office box in the beautiful Netherlands. In the otherwise beautiful Zeist.

In semi-official-looking letters, entry in the Business Register is requested.

A register without substance.

Who is behind it is not clear.

Unfortunately, there is no address, or even a basic data protection regulation, on the worthless page of entries. The authorities seem to have rather forgotten that such an international network reeks of mafia structures.

The domain was bought via a US-hoster in 2012. A trade register extract from the English archives leads to Slovakia.

However, the company has been wound up. It is not clear whether the name is identical or whether the company behind it has a stake in World Business Registration. Also, the senders lead to false domains, like this one. An advertising site for leisure activities in the Asian region. 

The trail of money led to Spain

Unicaja Banco S.A. was not the house bank of the company World Business List, but of a SEO Marketing SL. Its managing director Cornelis Boot worked on the orders from a flat in Malaga. According to the junta in Malaga, this person was connected to a lawyer GARCIA FAJARDO PALACIOS RAFAEL. The junta and the court responsible for this gave the information that both had been directors since 2015

Since 2015, the letters of the World Business List and EU Business Services Ltd. are identical and the trail leads to Utrecht in the Netherlands. The company then moved to Banco Popular Espanol S.A.after which the agency traded as WBM at a bank in Sofia in Bulgaria. Piraeus Bank Bulgaria AD.

In this context, the scam of Waldberg & Hirsch Global Collections Ltd. debt collectors, who apparently have the money sent to an account of Caixabank.S.A, also stands out. Targobank and a bank in Gibraltar, a stone's throw from Malaga, are also among the banks that have come to light recently. Also UNICREDIT BULBANK, Sofia, Bulgaria. 

Apparently, however, the business that is conducted in this context is no longer so united. The trick with the forms is said to bring in only 2,000,000 euros a year.   

It also gives the impression that the business registers use the addresses and industries for further crimes against the victims.  

Waldberg & Hirsch Global Collections Ltd. at Herengracht 518, 1017 CC Amsterdam, the Netherlands, published the last new news in 2013, 8 years ago.

The attentive observer will not fail to notice that Global Collectors is apparently a dummy company. They are not known in the Herengracht.

In later years, another address appears, not as dignified, but still, at Hoogoorddreef 9,1101 Amsterdam. In the so-called Africa Tower, offices can be registered for a few hours. The Global Collectors are said to have been on the market for over thirty years. The trail leads to Düsseldorf these days, to Graf Adolf Strasse, in 1985. We were unable to find an excerpt from the commercial register despite the most careful research. 

If you receive such a notice, you should destroy it. Don't fill it out, don't reply, simply delete it. However, if one is being pressured by the operators or by the debt collectors, one should immediately contact the nearest competent police station. 

It is urgently necessary that the German BaFin prohibits Wirecard from doing any further business.

Former CFO Braun was arrested on suspicion of falsification of financial statements. On Monday evening he surrendered to the authorities in Munich after he learned that the Public Prosecutor's Office 1 in the Bavarian capital had applied for an arrest warrant against him that morning.  

Now, after the Herstatt Bank, 1974, one of the biggest financial scandals in German post-war history is unfolding.

If it is not the biggest, questions remain as to how it could be that a country like the Philippines could be involved in financial transactions of this magnitude, which maintains death squads and has killed thousands of innocent people as drug dealers and others.

Dictators and the Mafia

Currently, the busy corporate lawyer Mark Tolentino does not appear to be in Makati City. The former minister under the pseudo-ruler Duterte with a penchant for quick and plentiful executions had disappeared without a trace. Duterte had fired him some months ago. Where to go or with whose money, that is not yet clear. Meanwhile, he let it be known that he wanted to get new bank statements. 
Whether the dubious family lawyer is even able to prove the whereabouts of the money is not clear either.

In the streets of Andorra, people had known about the highly functional money-laundering opportunity Wirecard for a long time. In the alleys of Gibraltar, too, they had been aware of the convenient way of circumventing any laws against money laundering for many years.

There was the Banc de Binary, a dubious option company that promised daily increasing profits, and online casinos that gave Wirecard as an insider tip on money laundering. Some customers even claimed that it was only through Wirecard that they became victims of the machinations of Banc de Binary in the first place.

Thus, transactions with high returns, i.e. the purchase of non-existent goods with dirty money, became the hobby horse of many ex-brokers on the grey market. The linchpin -Wirecard. In February 2020, EFRI filed criminal charges against Banc de Binary for money laundering in more than 700 cases in connection with Wirecard. This seemed to be a marginal note these days. From here, traces reach as far as Cyprus.

Whiter than credit cards from a petrol station only Ariel washes

The shareholders of Wirecard Solution Ltd. are caught up in a complicated web of companies, mailbox and offshore solutions, apparently steered by Newcastle Upon Tyne.  How this escaped the German supervisory authority is a complete mystery. And this mystery will be even more challenging to solve than to search and find the missing billions.

Thus, among the directors of the English Wirecard group, another connection to the investment half-world emerges Thomas Michael, Richard Jennings. He owns Yar Ltd Afton Manor, Freshwater, Isle Of Wight, PO40 9TW. Behind this façade is supposed to be a consulting company, which was founded on February 14, 2002. A stately home is revealed under the address, which could have originated from a  heartache literature effusion—the ideal world of financiers and consultants.

It soon became evident through a lawyer specialising in commercial law, Jesse Douglas & Aaskells Solicitors, Room 1 Sigma Business Center, Harrow, Middlesex, HA1 1LJ, whose client had been advised to use a bank account issued by 'Wirecard Card Solutions Ltd' and operated by another company called 'Marq Millions Ltd', that something was rotten with the German start-up. That was 2018.

But who is Marq Millions Ltd.?

Wirecard Ltd.'s operations in Singapore, 2019, were tainted with announcements and the high art of forgery and deception. During the authorities' investigation of the Singapore office of the online payment service provider, the local police had found evidence pointing to "serious counterfeiting and fake accounts". As written, 2019, not last week when the family rights activist with a penchant for dictators was sought on the Philippines. Now Wirecard applied for a license in Singapore to continue the business. 

Mailboxes, offshore companies and money laundering facilities are said to have been the actual core business of the Aschheim-based company. One is astonished that this business was doing well for so long. Card Systems Middle East, based in Dubai, was just one of the strange business partners of the Aschheim start-up friends. In 2019, Bellenhaus still refused to reveal the identity of Al Alam Solutions FZ LLC. in Dubai, which was later closed due to damage to its reputation. The greed of the Wirecard people was unbearable. Years ago, one could already read in several forums that money disappeared without a trace and never reappeared. This issue seemed to be part of Wirecard's business model. 

At the time, the public prosecutor's office in Munich did not see any evidence for investigations.
