Investor alert: Sternwood Business Services

2011-03-16

Finansinspektionen (the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority) has
today published this statement in order to warn investors against dealing with unauthorised firms. Sternwood Business Services is not authorised by Finansinspektionen and is therefore not entitled to provide financial services. Finansinspektionen has not received any notification of cross-border activities from other EES countries.

Sternwood Business Services has a website (www.sternwoodbusinessservices.com) using the following address: 18 Harcourt Road Hong Kong.

Sternwood Business Services' representatives contact investors through unsolicited telephone calls and offer to buy their holdings of shares in an American OTC company. However, the investor must first pay a fee in advance, ("0.25 Euro per share issued to convert the stock from Restricted to unrestricted Class A shares"). This is an advance fee fraud scheme.

To find out whether a company or individual is authorised, check Finansinspektionen's website at: www.fi.se under "Authorisation".
