Virgin Gold Scam Alert

Hati - hati dengan bahaya penipuan yang mengatasnamakan VGMC. Berikut ini beberapa situs yang dilangsir pihak VGMC yang melakukan penipuan tentang investasi emas dan tidak bertanggung jawab.


WWW.VGMC2U.COM


This website was created on 1st May 2010 by copying VGMC website content and structure. The objective of this website is to cheat investors into believing that vgmc2u.com is part of VGMC business operation and also to phish VGMC shareholders' details.



Virgin Gold has issued a SCAM alert security warning to all shareholders on the 14th of August 2010 after receiving many enquiries and complains from our partners and shareholders in Asia. The warning was probably too mild and did not actually accuse the site as a SCAM.

Regrettably, we were informed by many who had invested into www.vgmc2u.com that the operator of the site had stopped paying any dividend to their investors since October 2010.

As of May 2011, www.vgmc2u.com had been taken down by the operator and the business is no longer in operation causing many of the investors who had invested and ignore our earlier warning to lose money. The operator of this website simply cannot be found.

This incident trigger the management of VGMC to come up with this new section in our website called "Scam Alert" in June 2011.

WWW.TAMBANGMAS.COM


This is a site in Indonesian language that fully copy vgmc.com to cheat Investors in Indonesia. The operator of this site probably pretends to be "VGMC Indonesia" and had cheated many local investors. The operator of this site seems to portray the impression that it is promoting and referring potential investors to Virgin Gold but its true modus operandi remains suspicious.





This tragedy led to Virgin Gold Mining Corporation issuing a SCAM Alert warning towards three website, namely www.vgmc2u.com, www.tambangmas.com and www.virgingoldint.com on 13th April 2011.

WWW.VIRGINGOLDINT.COM


It is very clear that the operators of this website name the company Virgin Gold International Limited after Virgin Gold Mining Corporation and basically copy the whole web content and structure of VGMC.com.





Virgin Gold Mining Corporation issued a Scam Alert warning towards www.virgingoldint.com together with two other websites, namely www.vgmc2u.com, www.tambangmas.com on 13th April 2011.

The operator of both www.tambangmas.com and www.virgingoldint.com is rumored to be a Malaysian born Indian who had cheated hundreds of millions of dollars from the Indian sub-continent and South East Asia for the past five years.

WWW.DUALVENTURE.COM


The images and information on dualventure.com are mostly copied from VGMC with minor adjustment. The operator of dualventure.com must have come across VGMC's website and copied bits and pieces from it and then input them into their own websites to confuse visitors to their websites into thinking that they might be somehow related to Virgin Gold. Clearly the operator is trying to mislead and cheat investors into believing that it is operating a legitimate and big operation that is similar to or in collaboration with VGMC.



This website was only created on 28th of February 2011 but claimed that their business operation started in 1999(a direct copy from VGMC web profile).




Even on this fake Company Registration details, the company was only created on 20th February 2010 and not in 1999 as claimed.



Base on all the facts that have been gathered, it is clear that Dualventure.comis another copycat of VGMC that is trying to cheat and scam global investors.



On the 20th of April 2011, Virgin Gold Mining Corporation issued a Scam Alert on www.dualventure.com to remind global investors about this scam. Quite fortunately, after our early scam alert warning, we have not received much news about dualventure.com up to date.

This incident with www.dualventure.com lead the management of Virgin Gold to believe that any early warning Scam Alert could proof to be very helping in educating members of the public and shareholders of Virgin Gold to be cheated by irresponsible crooks.

Mr, Hendry Thomas
Mr. Hendry Thomas as he or she claimed himself or herself to be had been phishing many VGMC shareholders details since the beginning of 2011.

This person apparently has bank account(s) in Indonesia and asked shareholders who needed credits to purchase credits from him or her. He or she has a way to steal credits from some shareholders that he kept very close tab with. Though the total reported cases for the whole year had not been more than 20, the management is taking this matter very seriously.

Therefore, we asked all shareholder and potential shareholders not to ever transfer any money to any bank account with the name "Hendry Thomas" to purchase any credits.

Investigation is still ever on-going to trace this culprit. One thing for sure is this person knows his or her victim profile very well, meaning to say he or she is either:
  • Someone you know personally, or
  • Someone in your social networking site who is phishing all your personal information from people around you, or
  • Operator of some scamming sites we named here on "Scam Alert" who had planted some Trojans into your personal computer to obtain your VGMC login details when you visited the site.
In most circumstances, we always advise shareholders who had the security of their account tolerated to re-format/install their personal computer or notebook immediately.

WWW.EASTCAPEMC.COM


The operator of East Cape Mining Corporation (ECMC) claimed that the company had started since 2005 in Samoa and is currently headquartered in London, United Kingdom.



In actual case, ECMC only came into picture on March 2011 in Indonesia. When the website was 1st created, it was a carbon copy of VGMC. Throughout the past few months, the operator of the site had changed some of the content but clearly the structure of the website still resembles VGMC up to date.

Even the company name, "East Cape Mining Corporation" is a clear indication of their intention to duplicate "Virgin Gold Mining Corporation" to cheat ignorant investors. The operator of ECMC has been continuously upgrading its profile and web content in the past few months to catch up with the update that VGMC has been doing.

Our marketing consultants who studied the modus operandi of ECMC strongly believed that ECMC is by far the most organized Scam operation in the market that is capitalizing on VGMC's fame to cheat investors.



Thus our board of directors issued a strong scam alert warning on the 21st of June 2011 to all shareholders and the members of the public warning about the serious scam threat pose by www.eastcapemc.com.



Feedbacks from the Far East told us that ECMC is owned and operated by a Singaporean group that had done many similar scams in the region in the past decade and had cheated many victims all across Asia.



When our legal team try to contact ECMC, it was very obvious that person picking up the phone is part of a virtual office secretarial service package who knew nothing about the company.

We urged all VGMC shareholders especially those from the Far East to stay away and avoid referring friends to invest in ECMC. ECMC is very clearly another scam site created to cheat investors by mimicking VGMC business model.

WWW.THEUNITEDGOLD.COM


While Virgin Gold uses a "VG" logo; the United Gold uses a "UG" logo. The web content and structure is almost a carbon copy of VGMC website. The operator is clearly trying to confuse or copy the corporate image of VGMC to cheat investors.



This website was created on the 9th of May 2011, a few weeks after our Investor Relations team visited India for the first time.



As of June 2011, the modus operandi of www.theunitedgold.com is not clearly known but do not expect it to be any different from websites like www.virgingoldint.com that had cheated millions of dollars from the Indian investors in 2010.

WWW.VGMC.ASIA








It has been brought to our attention that fake websites that look exactly like vgmc.com have appeared recently with the intention to deceive the general public and our shareholders. Please be informed that www.vgmc.asia is not related to vgmc.com although they claim that they are the Asia branch of VGMC. This website was created on 20 May 2011 by copying VGMC website content and structure page by page. The objective of this website is to cheat investors into believing that www.vgmc.asia is part of the VGMC business operation and to scam their monies and phish VGMC shareholders' details.





Shareholders are reminded not to login through or surf www.vgmc.asia as it may contain Trojans or viruses that may also compromise hardware security. We will be consulting our legal and IT team to contemplate further action against the operator of said website. In the mean time shareholders are strongly advised to avoid visiting www.vgmc.asia.
