Swiss Mutual Fund

Swiss Scam?

Here we go again…another scam, this time disguised under the face of investment trust fund. Now, I am particularly uneasy about this one, since it directly affects the industry I am representing. Individuals who are not well-informed might easily assume that this Swiss Mutual Fund thing is an approved Fund Management body under the FMUTM and Security Commission watchful eyes. You are on your own if you are putting your hard-earned ringgit on this one.

Here’s their website: www.swissmutualfund.biz/

At first, Maybank was rather dissed at being associated with them.

Now, as news of unrealistic gains and returns are traveling fast, our media caught hold of some information that can help you to make a more informed-decision.

The Star Online warning readers to be wary of ??wiss??website…

A man, who runs a local website and claimed to have invested US$50,000 (RM189,300) in the fund, told The Star that he had obtained a return of 300% in 15 months.He said a company that has its headquarters in the Dominican Republic manages the fund.

??he minimum investment is US$100 (RM379) while its maximum is US$100,000 (RM379,000),?? he said.

??o invest in the fund, one has to pay US$30 (RM113.60), a one-time registration fee. However, the registration fee must be wired through a bank to the company in the United States.??

He said there would be a 10% return in one to three months.

And what other sources is better than coming from the Swiss country folks themselves?

Via the Embassy of Switzerland…

It has come to the attention of the Embassy, that there is a very aggressive selling taking place in Malaysia to promote an investment fund scheme called Swiss Cash or Swiss Mutual Fund 1948.

Every serious Internet User is aware of the fact, that anything can be said, promised and advertised on the Internet completely uncontrolled. There is a tremendous amount of good and useful information, but unfortunately the Internet is also a breeding place of a lot of misleading sometimes even fraudulent information. It is therefore always wise to do some research.

The Swiss Mutual Fund (1948) and or Swiss Cash are not registered companies in Switzerland. Until proof of the contrary, the Embassy doubts that the remarks about these funds and their historic links to Switzerland as outlined on their original website are genuine.

The original website is indeed registered in the USA and the contact telephone number is from New Jersey (USA). It is obvious that this company uses the denomination ??wiss?? in an illegal and fraudulent way to attract customers.

Moreover, the promotion of the fund seems to work via agents on a MLM system which appears to be close to a Pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes are illegal in Switzerland.

The Embassy does therefore not recommend these funds as an investment opportunity.

So, if you are still going to go ahead and looking forward for that 20% a month return after reading this, you have my blessings…

    Hi Khairunashrul, I hope you didn’t read my post upside down. The Swiss Embassy themselves are condemning this scam. I hope you did your homework before “betting” your money on this one.

    Good luck!

    It is a scam! I have invested $20,000 and now I cannot even withdraw!

  • MrKam

    Hello, we got paid since april’05 without any problem and you’re invested and cannot even withdraw? what a funny statement. If you don’t know how to withdrw, contact your referrer or I suggest you contact support via Submit Ticket and explain you problem before complaining to public.

    If this so-called “mutual fund company” is registered legally with the Securities Commission, you will have no problem lodging a complaint against them, but the fact that they are not will make it very hard for you to strengthen your case.

    Kok, you might want to explain in clearer term why you labelled them as scam, since MrKam seems to have problem interpreting your statement.

    Why ppl still keep on thinking thinking thinking, I am new investor, if I KNOW there is 300%return in 2005, I already JUMP INTO IT! I only get to know that this high risk investment since 5 May 2007, and I hv dump USD10,000.00 into the new fund. I believe there still hv lotsssssssssssssssss of time for them to ‘become’ scam(If you want to think that). Continue to reason on your self LA! Chance come chance go, continue to complaint la, I go made my FREE PHONE BILL, FREE CAMERE, FREE TRAVEL, FREE DINNER, FREE THIS FREE THAT! but who ever invest must think that you never be able to get back the money and willing to lose. HOW ABOUT IF GAIN? You want profit or you want a registered company. a proven document or MUST hv contact numbers to call? Then if those are YES, then don come in, you not a investor and definately not a risk taker. Continue to see ppl make money la. If you can’t take such high risk then Stock market, please dont accuse.
