投資沉香木只需招會員 老鼠會啃千萬

(八打靈再也2日訊)到柬埔寨投資沉香木發達夢碎,逾千名投資者血本無歸,損失總額高達1500萬令吉! 據了解,此計劃雖說是投資沉香木園林,但基本上投資者的“回酬”都是來自介紹會員入會,並從新會員的投資金中抽佣。投資形式和最近出現爭議的“老鼠會”投資手法相近。 在這項計劃下,要成為代理員,首先需繳付100美元(約343令吉)入會費,然后開始招募工作,每招募一名代理員,即可獲一次20美元(約68令吉)的佣金;每找到一名投資者,則依照代理員的等級,在投資者所投資的數額中抽取佣金。 只要找到新會員投資,代理即可獲高達12%的紅利;每年的投資回酬也被指可達30%,令許多人為之瘋狂。此這計劃已活躍至少5年,相信投資者過千,投資金額保守估計高達1500萬令吉。 今年6月,一些投資者在合約屆滿后,不但拿不回成本,也拿不到回酬,甚至代理也拿不到佣金;到了8月,負責人關閉了投資網站,此投資泡狀正式宣告破碎,千人血本無歸。 逾10名投資者今日通過人民公正黨靈南區國會議員許來賢揭發此事,警惕大眾提防這個國際投資陷阱。 投資者及代理員,也向有關投資計劃的負責人提出4項訴求,包括要他現身並為此投資計劃負上全責。 這項名為“柬埔寨沉香木”的投資計劃(Uni-Agrow Series 0809),是一個“代理式”投資(Agency Plan),由代理員從事招募投資者在柬埔寨投資一個沉香木園林;投資人的資本據說獲園林和國際保本機構拉丁美洲私人基金會(LAPIF)作為抵押擔保, 合約為期3年。 柬上議員王室是合夥人 陳定添說,投資者對該計劃有信心,除了因為葉姓負責人的知名度,也因為該計劃有一名柬埔寨上議員和王室為合夥人。 他說,除了沉香木投資,有關負責人還在很多領域有投資,包括香港電影業、印度博彩業和中國屋業等,還接受過很多雜誌採訪。 “還有一名柬埔寨上議員和王室為合夥人,令我們更加有信心。” 陳定添指出,投資者曾應約到柬埔寨考察園林,也獲得該名上議員和王室招待。 “負責人在開齋節后就聯絡不上,我們要他出來交代清楚,如何處理投資款額?因為這些投資款額都用園地做擔保,投資者又是園地擁有者,理應有權利取回我們的資本。” 陳定添說,保守估計,個人最高損失的款額,約20萬美金,交易都以美金進行。 《中國報》聯絡葉姓負責人,卻聯絡不上,無法取得回應。 代理員分4等級 代理員分4個等級,等級最低為投資顧問,可抽取6%的投資佣金,升級到高級投資顧問可抽8%、投資經理10%,到最高的高級投資經理12%。 計劃最吸引人投資的是提供投資者每年30%回酬,平均每月2.5%,且在合約屆滿后,可以取回投資成本,最低的投資數額為購買一個單位,價格1000美元(約3430令吉)。 適逢今年6月,很多合約屆滿后,投資者都拿不回成本,也拿不到回酬,而負責招募業務的代理也拿不到佣金;到了8月,負責人還關閉了投資網站涉及1500萬令吉的交易。 每月至少獲1000回酬 投資者每月至少可以獲得1000令吉至2000令吉的回酬,最多甚至達數千元美金。 投資者發言人陳定添(56歲,商人)說,該計劃于2009年推出,他購買了10個單位,即1萬美元(約3萬4300令吉),2012年和2013時反應不錯。 “起初每月有1000令吉至2000令吉的回酬,慢慢越做越大,每月有數千元美金。” 他說,6月出現問題后,投資者設法與葉姓計劃負責人交涉但不果,更關閉投資者的戶頭,甚至關閉投資網站,躲起來不肯會見投資者,信息也不回。 “我們通過許來賢要求負責人在10月31日見面,對方沒有出現,還報警說不認識我們,沒有拿過我們的錢,也和計劃沒有關係。” 投資網站關閉資金變“零” 基于投資者是通過網站交易,包括記錄投資數額和紅利、佣金、投資者資料以及合約,代理資料也是通過網站將利益轉賬至銀行戶頭,關閉網站等同投資者所有資金都變成“零”。 根據合約內容,負責人必須維持這個網站至所有投資合約屆滿為止。 許來賢建議嚴管投資網站 許來賢說,他將在下次國會會議上,建議政府嚴厲管制投資網站,保障投資人的利益。 他說,負責人一聲不響關閉投資網站,造成投資者血本無歸,這些錢還是投資者的“棺材本”,令人同情。 “據悉這個投資公司的戶頭設在香港,總公司則設在巴拿馬。” 許來賢說,由于部分投資者已針對此事報案,希望警方採取行動,調查該公司是否合法註冊。 “我也希望公司負責人站出來向投資者作出交代,商討解決方案。” Click … Continue reading
