<p><p>I also looked at this webpage and it has a Javascript Agent.OZD virus on it. I&#39;d be very careful (meaning that I wouldn&#39;t) be completing any of the online forms on this site at all, or clicking any of the links provided. Fishy.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>

<p><p>I can&#39;t get in contact with the &quot;broker&quot; anymore, however have been contacted by an Attorney in the US, acting on behalf of a client wanting to buy my BEV shares, even though not public yet. SO they have my details from somewhere and hopefully I own something.</p>
<p>I must apologise as I didn&#39;t realise Paul responded. Only did a google search and came across this.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>

<p><p>Hi Sean &amp; Paul, we have had the exact same thing happen to us, and we also had the site checked out by our computer guy and it had a virus in January 2022 as Graham Reardon stated in the comments above, and we got no response by email from the broker and when we rang the office were told that the company had never physically been at the Perth address, they whoever answered the phone had never heard of them. Then in March 2022 we were contacted by an attorney in the US - the same deal as you and we thought the same, maybe we do own something as they got our details from somewhere. We got legal and financial advice and were told it too was probably a scam so we didn&#39;t go through with it. Did you?? Have you been able to find out anything further???</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>

<p><p>Hi Linda,</p>
<p>I didn&#39;t proceed with the &quot;First&quot; Attorney as they followed up by saying there was warrants on the shares that I needed to execute first before selling. So they wanted a small amount from me before a promise of a larger amount from them.</p>
<p>Had a second one claim to be acting on behalf of another firm that bought all the BEV shares and I had to confirm my identity to them and they would send me the funds held in my name from the compulsory acquisition.</p>
<p>Googled them, the alleged company and only have single page websites pushing all further contact back to a mobile.</p>
<p>I told them on the phone that their contact to me appeared to be a means of gaining my identity and haven&#39;t heard from them since.</p>
<p>I did forward all the details including phone numbers to the consumer watchdog but didn&#39;t hear back.</p>
<p>Both were from US phone numbers.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>
