Dear all,
You’re probably here because you’ve had the misfortune of coming into contact with the cockroach known as Bruce Green from ’ Secure Platform Funding’. We have lost tens of thousands of dollars with this confidence trickster too, and this blog was a method for us to get some satisfaction that we could at least spare other victims the same fate by warning them in advance. We are all professionals, and we have moved on with our lives, and so haven’t had much time to update the blog. We did report Bruce Green from ’ Secure Platform Funding’ to the German police. They opened an investigation and decided there was a case to pursue - they gave their evidence to the public prosecutor in Heidelberg. However, given that all of the victims were from outside Germany, and in most cases the sums involved were relatively small in the context of financial fraud (usually 15-20 thousand US dollars each), the German public prosecutor decided the case would not be financially worthwhile for the German taxpayer to pursue. Nevertheless, there is plenty of evidence here for you to have a look at. We suggest you go through our archives for 2014 and 2013. We won’t be updating the blog much more. In the grand scheme of things the money we lost to this fraudster is relatively small (some of us earn more than this in a month). It was the disgusting, classless, obnoxious way this idiot conducted himself after stealing our money that angered us all. We wish all those reading this blog the best - and remember we gain nothing from this. The basic, sensible and fair advice we offer to anyone thinking of handing over any money to the fraudster is this: Ask a certified legal professional, ideally a European financial lawyer, to have a look at the contract Bruce Green from ’ Secure Platform Funding’ provides you, do your due diligence. This is only fair and the most basic of requirements before signing any contract. Do this, and we guarantee you will thank us later when the lawyer laughs at the ‘contract’ and confirms Jamal offers nothing but a scam to steal your money. No legitimate businessman can object to this. But Bruce Green himself at the sight of lawyers, and it’s no surprise why. Good luck.

Organizations trying to "lease" or "buy" bank instruments ensure you are managing genuine, real and performing providers. You have to be very sure that the financial or the bank instrument provider that you are relying on is not a fake one and they are providing you genuine services.
The Fake SBLC provider mostly will give you all kinds of guarantee of a performing SBLC and will tell you all the benefits thoroughly. It is extremely difficult to spot a fake bank instrument provider from a real one and you have to be really attentive towards to the details. However, if you are new to this. Here are a few ways you can spot a fake SBLC provider – 1. DOA with grammar botches, made out of different bits of a different kind of agreements. 2. A few titles ascribed to one gathering: "Renter - the buyer - recipient" across the board contract. "Lessor - Seller - Provider" across the board contract. 3. Nonvitrifiable information of the instrument supplier. The false website, national telephone numbers obtained from Skype, organization enlisted in seaward zone, fake LI profile(s) of the "supplier's group" and so on. 4. Refundable Reservation Deposit to be paid forthright with no safe instrument to shield the renter from being defrauded. 5. Refundable repayment store of % of the BG/SBLC incentive to be paid forthright without any illuminations on why the Lessee will pay this cash. 6. ICBPO to be issued by the Lessee's bank for the Lessor. This convention is illegal by the vast majority of the world banks on account of the abnormal state of fraud around it. By issuing ICBPO the Lessee's bank resolves to exchange assets to the Lessor paying little respect to the consequences of the renting exchange. 7. The title or the name of the expense accepting record is different from the title/name of instrument issuing account. Bona fide Lessor may pick different records to get renting expense and issue bank instruments however in the event that these records are under the names of different elements, run! These are just a couple of signs to specify... Brokers movement advancing so-called "providers", before you spend your significant lifetime, cash and vitality to advance the "supplier" you found on the web please make your DD over such a "supplier" and ensure that you are managing the bona fide and evident source. By promoting fake sources, you ruin your notoriety and lose the trust of your customers. I am a victim of Secure Platform Funding (SPF) and I want to expose them so that no other innocent victim will fall prey to their antics.
1. They Charge Huge Money for Broker license, some people paid 35,000 euros just to get broker license? Other legitimate companies give broker license 100% FREE. This is RED Flag Number One. 2. They claim after I pay the upfront fee for broker license that they will pay me 1.5% commission for every transaction they get from my country Belgium even though I dont know anything about the transactions. But normally a broker is supposed to get commission based on referrals. This is 100% scam because Secure Platform Funding (SPF) never paid any broker any such fee and they never even successfully closed any deals. They just steal your money using bogus so called attorney trust accounts as escrow but in reality they own the escrow accounts and once you deposit money into these escrow accounts they would start telling you stories till you get tired. I am a broker from Belgium, my client is waiting to receive his promised SBLC since 7 months now without success and the 250,000 EUR my client paid cannot be refunded. 100% SCAMMERS. 3. Secure Platform Funding (SPF) have published list of competitor Banks calling them Banned without any proof or any others by any regulatory authority. Most of the banks are legit on the banned list and working according to Banking rules and in business. Guys don’t waste time paying attention to Secure Platform Funding (SPF), their website is full of self composed fake stories and their aim is to deceive gullible and ignorant people. 4. Secure Platform Funding is 100% fake, tell them to show you proof of any deals they closed successfully and they will start telling bs stories. According to Interpol, Secure Platform Funding (SPF) has over 14 fraud cases against them and many victims are shy to come out. 5. Secure Platform Funding (SPF) claims to be a NEVIS registered company but they are using a London phone number, that is clear evidence of fraud. If you are based in Nevis why not use a NEVIS phone number? Why use London landline to deceive people? They are frauds, they are using a fake London phone number that is hosted on SKYPE. We got to know because our lawyers found out through the help of the police. Otherwise since they are using a London landline why cant they give you their address in London if they are not FRAUDSTERS? This is their London phone number: +44 20 3808 9841??? Red Flag number 1. 6. The government of NEVIS has made a press statement saying that Secure Plaform Funding is not registered and is 100% Scam. Please check this warning statement direct from the government of Nevis website: http://www.nevisfsrc.com/advisories-2/warnings/371-secure-platform-funding 7. A sign of desperation: SECURE PLATFORM FUNDING: http://sapphirecapital.proboards.com/thread/7505/sign-desperation-secure-platform-funding 8. BANK INSTRUMENTS SCAMMER – SECUREPLATFORMFUNDING.COM: https://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&p=294155 Beware of Secure Platform Funding Scam: https://www.scamguard.com/secure-platform-funding/ The internet is littered with sad stories and warning reports against Secure Platform Funding (SPF), so please run away from them if you haven’t sent them any money yet. All the people that gave money to Secure Platform Funding (SPF) cannot recover any money because the guys are scammers and invincible. For months now we have been tracing them without success and our 250k Euros is gone, sad. I was contacted by Bruce Green at [email protected], telling me that he was a legitimate seller of bank instruments over at www.secureplatformfunding.com and he offered a € 1M MTN / BG for an advance deposit of € 50.000. I have done business with such firms before, so I expected to see some sort of identifying documentation, statements from institutions or in the very least some sort of transfer proof.
He provided what looked like legitimate documentation, and assured me of his legitimacy. So far so good – so made I my deposit, and this is where I am now. No further word from Mr. Green. No sign of my promised bank guarantee. Nothing. So I started digging, and I am quite angry with myself – and with Mr. Green, of course. Secure Platform Funding has about as much legitimacy as any old snake oil salesman. The company had an HQ in London, which they took down and replaced with a fake address in Nevis, no doubt just some mailbox shared with about fifty other corporations. Speaking of sharing, their server seems to run through a cheap tiny cloud hosting, and they have zero legitimacy as a financial firm – I contacted HSBC and Nevis, asked about a Bruce Green, and they gave me no indication that he even exists, let alone has any real world association with financial regulatory bodies. The content on the website, which I only skimmed through the first time, is very poorly written and it is clear that they are speaking gibberish to confuse and intimidate visitors. They slam their competitors and blame any allegations of scamming on them, and they seem to have been successful at it so far, seeing as how they managed to take my damn money. If you are ever contacted by Secure Platform Funding, I urge you to break off all contact and DO NOT send them any money. Any UK investors contacted by a Bruce Green ought to watch themselves and be careful – the man and his company are a fraud, and to be frank it is doubtful they even exist. I received a piece of mail from Secure Platform Funding by Mr. Green, who introduced himself as CEO. He told me that they were one of the top bank instrument providers globally – I was immediately intrigued, but not in a way Mr. Green would have liked. I asked for some actual proof of such a claim, I asked for statements from real representatives in the banks he said he was affiliated with (among others, the Bank of Bahrain, HSBC, SBC, Barclays, Lloyds), and I asked for some real documentation. All he could muster were some SWIFT MT760 messages, and further assured claims that his company was “the world’s premiere financial instruments expert”, and that I ought not to listen to “jealous competitors.”
I did some digging and found out that Mr. Green and SPF had a particular penchant for stealing from UK investors, promising broker licenses for commercial loans and expensive, several million-pound certificates and bank guarantees for the mere advance deposit of a few thousand quid, between £10,000-£50,000. Even a friend of mine told me he was contacted by SPF, and propositioned for a “great deal”. These people are shady at best, but I suspect that they are entirely phoney – their address has changed countries thrice in the past few months, and they only recently declared themselves on the Marshall Islands as the SPF International Corporation, with no further documentation providing any truth to their supposed founding in 2008, or any proper explanation for their false addresses in both Nevis and the UK. At best, these are upstarts not to be trusted with any significant sums, and in reality, they are most likely scam artists trying to discredit real victims as “jealous competitors”. |
