BACKGROUND:
Our investigations into WGA actually commenced in late September 2010,
and by February we had been able to package the then known information
and begin to expose Ali Syed and WGA as a fully-fledged fraud gang. In
the five months leading up to publication, a substantial number of
contacts were made with brokers, with law firms and accountants, with
bankers, and with press connections. And now we have connections at
very high levels with several law enforcement and regulatory
authorities. It was in fact Wikifrauds' own due diligence and persistent
digging around that led us to the ultimate point of realisation that
WGA was a scam, while many others, clients and brokers, football clubs
and some members of the press, still thought WGA was a real company and
would deliver. And some of these people had done their own due
diligence without obtaining a true outcome.
Wikifrauds has been asked to look into many companies and brokers since
we launched on February 5, 2011. We have done so on a number of
occasions and advised the enquirers accordingly, usually at no cost to them.
Due Diligence can sometimes be a lengthy process which is often
expensive when it means obtaining company and director details from
regulators and references from auditors and accountants if available.
The process of discovering the legitimacy or otherwise of supposed
funds and lenders may also rely on associations and networks built over
long periods.
To adequately service the increasing enquiries for assistance in
researching people and companies takes time and resources, and we
cannot continue to do this simply as a favour to readers of Wikifrauds.
SERVICE OFFERED:
Wikifrauds will investigate any matter we are requested to do so. There
will be a modest fee for a Pre-Due Diligence Report, and if further
more in-depth searching is required, which may include reports from
regulators and other authorities that have to be paid for, then
additional fees to cover costs will be requested. A confidentiality
agreement will be required, and we will undertake to protect the
client's interests and privacy at all times.
