Paulina Jonathan Scam Organisation - Likely to misrepresent themselves and their operation STONE MOUNTAIN Georgia

This company makes false representations to trade enquiries posted on internet trade portals.

Whilst in the process of acquiring a valid trade supplier, we found that this organisation manufactured numerous bogus certificates, proof of product articles and other sundry documents to legitimise their operation. They had no idea about the commodities that they were trading in. When challenged, they started to play silly games and became rather defensive and confrontational.

This would suggest that they were either lying about something or extremely unprofessional in their operation. Either way, this is uncharacteristic of GENUINE organisations.

It must be stressed that at no time were they able to substantiate anything that they had claimed to have achieved nor is there any documentation held by third parties that supports any international trade that has been successfully completed.

Background checks on their operation raise alarm bells in the following areas:

Production:
claim - Sales Range is $75,000,000 to $199,999,999 annually (trade portal listing)
fact - They are unknown to all major suppliers in their listed commodity fields.

Finance:
claim - Annual turnover is 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 (different trade portal)
fact - There is no evidence of this in financial background checks with the banks.

Logistics:
claim - Regular distributor and wholesaler of commodities (different trade portal)
fact - They are unable to provide GENUINE shipping manifests to prove any of this.

Warehousing:
claim - They wholesale significant quantities of commodities from their facility (telephone conversation 15/4/2008)
fact - The registered business address suggests that they operate from a home residence with no legal approval for trucks larger than a minivan. There is no warehouse on the 1/4 acre block, just a house according to Google maps.

Ownership and expertise:
claim - established in year 1994, or 2000 on another listing
fact - any company on that turnover for that period of time would have a more significant footprint to look at. Their physical presence is minute and their online presence is entirely self generated. They do not appear in any legitimate trade publications.

Online:
claim - established in year 1994, or 2000 on another listing
fact - any company in business for that long would have a fairly well established web presence. This company has a dodgy web template and a domain name that has only recently been registered.

All of this evidence is able to be fairly easily verified by anyone who takes the time to check them.
