Beware of this 'company'. They are trying the "De-restriction Fee" trick. You get a cold call from someone (a Mr. Tyler in my case) who wants to buy junk stocks from you (in my case Roanoke Technology Corp. - ticker symbol: rnke.pk) for a price thousands of times higher than the current trade price. They will send you a .PDF file with a "TENDER OFFER" (which is asking for a "De-restriction Fee", which must be prepaid). The email, including full header, that comes with it reads:

The calling time is usually around 6:00AM to 8:00AM GMT. The caller is fluent in American English though (most likely American or Canadian).
The caller seems to have access to client data from a boiler room company called "
Hudson International Group".
Very interesting is the used SMTP server to send the email 'svltd.com', which belongs to the
Simpson Venture Ltd., a well know scam 'firm' (
click here for details).
Also interesting was that during the call Mr. Tyler wanted to buy Roanoke shares but in the Tender Offer suddenly "First Republic Group of Funds (FRGOF)" was mentioned - a share I have never had.
So don't be fooled. There is nothing like a free luch.
