Pattern Across Reports

Despite being filed by different individuals, from different countries (Germany, South Africa, Austria, USA), across different platforms, over a 10-year period, the reports describe a remarkably consistent pattern: advance fees collected under professional-looking term sheets, attentive communication before payment, delays and excuses after payment, and ultimately no funded transaction and no return of fees. The independence and geographic distribution of these reports makes coordinated fabrication extremely unlikely, in the author's assessment. [Source: Author's analysis of publicly available reports]
