V-Funding

[vernal2012]

Hello,

I am new to this forum and would appreciate your comments on this:-

Funding for Humanitarian Projects
http://www.v-funding.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=71&Itemid=76

I came across this company through a friend of mind. This company offers funding on humanitarian projects backed by sovereign guarantees. They talk about placing such guarantees on high yield trade platforms for 40 weeks and sharing profits 50/50, , etc.
Could they be legitimate?

I must say here that I do not know this company and whether they are genuine or not.

Thanks in advance

It is maybe fake.

Glen Rothquel And Capital 4 Business Are Scammers
Posted 09-20-2009

THIS IS A WARNING TO ANY LOAN SEEKER TO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH A GUY NAME GLEN ROTHQUEL. A SELF APPOINTED MANAGING DIRECTOR OF A SCAM COMPANY CALLED CAPITAL 4 BUSINESS OPERATING OUT FROM AUSTRALIA. THIS GUY SCAMMED ME OF $15.000 DOLLARS.
IT ALL STARTED WHEN I PUBLISHED AN ADDS SEEKING FOR AN ANGEL INVESTOR TO HELP ME START MY PROJECT. GLEN ROTHQUEL CONTACTED ME THAT HIS COMPANY, CAPITAL 4 BUSINESS WILL GIVE ME AN ANGEL INVESTOR WHO COULD OFFER ME THE LOAN NEEDED FOR THE PROJECT. AFTER THE EXCHANGED OF FEW CORRESPONDENCE, THIS CRIMINAL SENT ME A FORMULAR TO FEEL AND I WAS MADE TO PAY A DEPOSIT OF $1000 AS APPLICATION FEE. THEN AFTER THE PAYMENT, HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD HANDED ALL THE DOCUMENTS TO THE ANGEL INVESTOR AND THAT I SHOULD GIVE HIM SEVEN WORKING DAYS, IT WAS NOT UPTO THE SEVEN WORKING DAYS WHEN HE AGAIN SEND ME AN EMAIL TO TELL ME THE ANGEL INVESTOR DID NOT ACCEPT MY APPLICATION BECAUSE HE DOES NOT THINK THE PROJECT WILL BE PROFITABLE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND HE HAS ALREADY SPOKEN TO A LENDER WHO WORKS IN AN INVESTMENT BANK THAT PROVIDE SHORT TERM LOANS TO PEOPLE AND THE BANK WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT MY APPLICATION. HE WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT IN OTHER FOR US TO BE SUCCESSFUL THIS TIME, I NEED TO PAY ADDITIONAL $1000 DOLLARS APPLICATION FEE. WELL I, BEEN SO NAIVE ON THE FINANCIAL MARKET HAS NO OPTION THEN TO PAY HIM THE ADDITIONAL MONEY REQUESTED. AFTER ONE WEEK, THIS CROOK CAME BACK TO ME ONCE AGAIN AND TOLD ME THAT MY APPLICATION HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BUT THE PROBLEM IS, I NEED TO PAY $13.000 DOLLARS FOR AN INSURANCE COMPANY TO ISSUE ME INSURANCE GUARANTEE SINCE I DID NOT HAVE ANY GUARANTEE FOR THE LOAN, I WANTED TO PULL OUT BUT AS HE ALWAYS DOES, HE MANAGED TO CONVINCE ME THAT IT WAS ALL THAT I NEEDED TO PAY AND THE LOAN IS APPROVED. I PAID THE MONEY TO HIM AND FOR GOOD TWO WEEKS, THIS CRIMINAL KEPT ON DODGING MY CALLS. HE WROTE TO ME ON OCCATIONALLY TELLING ME NOT TO CALL HIM BECAUSE HE IS IN A MEETING, SOMETIMES, HE WILL GIVE HIS PHONE TO SOMEBODY TO TELL ME THAT HE IS NOT AROUND. I FOLLOWED THIS GUY FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS BEFORE I SPOKE TO A FRIEND WHO LIVES IN NEW ZEALAND, THIS FRIEND QUICKLY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A SCAM. MY FRIEND QUICKLY CONTACTED HIS PARTNER IN AUSTRALIA TO INVESTIGATE THIS CRIMINAL AND THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION STUNNED ME EVEN. FIRST, GLEN ROTHQUEL IS A FUGITIVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA WHO HIS PARENTS STILL LIVES. HE OPERATES HIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES FROM AUSTRALIA AND IT IS NOT ONLY IN THIS INVESTMENT SCAM THAT HE IS BEEN INVOLD IN, HE HAS DUPE SO MANY INNOCENT LOAN SEEKERS AND ALSO OPERATES AS GOLD BUYER WHERE HE MANAGED TO LURE INNOCENT GOLD MINERS FROM WEST AFRICA AND DUPED THEM OF THEIR GOLD.
HIS SUPPOSE FULL ADDRESS IS: GLEN ROTHQUEL, MBA. CAPITAL 4 BUSINESS

Thanks a lot for all the revelations. I guess V-Funding at,

run by one Jurgen Schmechel must be the same.

They offer all kinds of financial packages including Humanitarian Funding. It's surprising how they can carry on like this.

So, Glen Rothquel has scammed people and both v-funding and Capital 4 Business are suspicious companies not withstanding what we see on the web.

Thanks a lot

Given the subject matter, moving this to the "Finance and Trading Scams" forum may help others.

There is no record for V-Funding on the Australian Business Register but they could be incorporated elsewhere. It could also just be an informal partnership between two sole traders (Rothquel and Schmechel) for which no public records would be available.

In any event, my advice would be to avoid any unregulated broker, especially one that appears to have no record in the country they are doing business.

The mentioning of "non-recourse loans", "high yield trade platforms that run for 40 weeks" and the other joker-broker terms on their website is also a clear indication that they don't know what they are doing.

Most definitely one to avoid.
