So here it goes: Why not test this guy and his information. The stock looks solid anyway.
So you agree to buy a few of the stocks, for a few thousand Euros / Dollars, to see if his information is really valid. What do you have to lose, maybe it’s better than buying stocks based on regular information?
Although the broker (Charles Bingham in my case) seems a little nervous, the transaction looks well-prepared.
You get a Share Purchase Agreement with signatures, a lot of small print, an Order Confirmation with details about the actual transaction plus the payment details as PDF via email.
Additionally, you get in contact with the nicely British and very detailed working accountant Reginald Wright who explains all the steps in detail.
The bank for the transfer (Barclay’s Bank in my example) is even in Europe.
Only the beneficiary name (TTT Moneycorp Limited) looks a little off. Why is it not Derwent Investments?
But when you look it up, you quickly arrive at an official UK site, which seems to show it’s at least a legit company. So you do it and now have some ‘skin in the game’.
