Investor alert: Firkin Asset Consultants

Finansinspektionen (the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority) has
today published this statement in order to warn investors against dealing with unauthorised firms.

Firkin Asset Consultants has not received authorisation from Finansinspektionen and therefore is not entitled to provide financial services in Sweden. Finansinspektionen has not received any notification of cross-border activities from other EEA countries.

Firkin Asset Consultants has a website (firkinac.com) using the following contact information:

12F Hilton Plaza West Office Tower
2-2-2 Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka
530-0001 JAPAN

Representatives from Firkin Asset Consultants contact investors through unsolicited telephone calls and offer to buy their holdings of shares in American OTC companies, World Wide Child Care Corp. and Nexis Holding PLC. Investors must first pay a fee in advance ("security deposit") to secure the deal. This is an advance fee fraud scheme.
