This is way long overdue.
But as much as we would like to give more information about the culprits, we could only do so much for now.
The investigation on Aureus Capital by the Commercial Affairs Department or CAD of the Singapore Police Force is still ongoing. However, the possibility of recovering the USD18 Million claims of victims lodged at the CAD is now almost uncertain.
Apparently, the culprits Michael Atkins and April Samson can not be located.
Meanwhile, if you are based in Singapore, you may try to reach the Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao under Singapore Press Holdings for media support.
One of their journalists, Kerr Puay Hian, sent me an email to help the victims in whatever way they can and also to spread awareness to the public to avoid becoming victims again of these scams.
Please be aware that there are still more “managed trading forex companies” around the world that are currently recruiting clients for their schemes.
You may contact Kerr of Lianhe Wanbao, Singapore Press Holdings as they are currently working on an article regarding the Aureus Capital scam in Singapore. The media outfit has been receiving complaints from distressed victims and calling them for help and they want to help them as much as they can.
Singapore Press would be willing to listen to your part of the story, as the more information they can acquire the better they could express the situation to the community, help them to gain more traction in the case through public awareness, or at least inform the public to protect themselves from such scams.
You can either email Kerr at phkerr@sph.com.sg or call their hotline at 1800-7416388.
We’re one with our friends who are victims of this big-time scam.
For now we can only coordinate with the police and the media and wait for any development. We hope that the case be resolved soon.
End of the series that never was.
