Wing Insurance Review

Wing Insurance (WingInsurance.com) is quite a peculiar operation that allegedly operates as a global brokers insurance network. Composed of a select panel of independent insurance brokerages, the alleged mission set forth according to their domain would be to provide a multitude of supported insurances to corporate entities or less commonly, individuals. Claiming to employ over 10,500 employees in over 500 offices worldwide while generating an annual turnover of €9.5 billion, it is a miraculous wonder how Wing Insurance possesses such little virtual presence.

As you begin to work your way through this unbiased review, you will learn not only more about the operations conducted at Wing Insurance but also whether or not this operation can be trusted. Operating almost identical to advance fee scams while gathering consumers personal and financial information through unverified channels is shady business, even for such a pristine operation as Wing Insurance.

About Wing Insurance

Wing Insurance, abbreviated for Worldwide Insurance Network Group, claims their operation to be a select panel of independent insurance brokers providing a co-ordinated, integrated insurance and risk management solution for businesses who operate on the global stage. Composed of 73 members located in 55 countries with 582 offices, we find it rather suspicious that this operation fails to reflect a strong online presence.

Furthermore, allegedly producing a turnover of €9.5 billion per year with a foundation of over 1 million customers worldwide would amount to some impressive reputability and surely some consumer feedback. However, no feedback or reviews can be found anywhere on the web regarding this global operation. Allegedly operating as a legal entity registered in Switzerland as a verein (association), we found no evidence to support this claim among Switzerland registries.

WING Insurance is counseled by a small group of 5 board members. Matttias Bolander is Chairman of WING and has been the allegedly board director since 2011. In addition, is also appears to the CEO of his own firm, Bolander & Co. Vice-Chairman is Alda Dhingra, who is the alleged co-founder of the Delhi branch of Prudent Insurance Brokers. Other board members include Carlos Garcia Crosa, Fabrice de Waal and Christina Holzinger. All board members appear to be legitimate entities.

Wing Insurance Consumer Offer

According to the Become a Member page at Wing Insurance, “the purpose of WING is to facilitate and develop the insurance brokerage activities of its Members and Affiliated Members and to enable them to provide their mutual clients and prospects with comprehensive and responsive service by a non-bureaucratic global network which has an interactive exchange of market know-how.” Essentially meaning that Wing Insurance is functioning as a connective outlet to provide their members clients with their insurance services.

In order to become a member, applicants must complete the WING application form and return it with a copy of their current PI/E&O insurance certificate to C.Holzinger@buechner-barella.de. The completed application will then be discussed at the next board meeting, which usually takes place every 3 to 4 months where their will respond with their decision afterward.

If approved, the applicant will receive an invite to attend the next WING conference. Annual WING memberships are currently priced at an annual rate of €1,500 (plus any bank transfer fees) which will cover the attendance cost for one assembly per year (minus hotel accommodations). Members wishing to visit more than 1 assembly in the same year will be charged €500, not including hotel costs.

Community Feedback

First brought to our attention by one of our subscribers, Wing Insurance approached our subscriber out-of-the-blue with an offer claiming to recover loss funds from a scam brokerage for a minimum 15% upfront payment of the to be recovered funds. What we found interesting though would be how our subscriber was contacted previously by other “insurance” and “asset recovery firms” like Secured Trade Investments, which was already exposed as an advance fee scam.

According to the provided feedback, our subscriber was contacted by Michael Cunnington at WING Insurance (Worldwide Insurance Network 623 5th Ave NY NY 10022), who claimed there was a class action taking place in the UK in February to recover loss funds. Apart from being requested to pay an upfront 15% fee for recovered funds, the disclosed office address provided by Michael Cunnington is not a valid physical address and fails to match any disclosed office address shared at WingInsurance.com.

Question Marks and Red Flags

Wing Insurance operates as a global insurance network that connects insurance providers from all areas of the globe. While this should be the extent of their operation, what we fail to understand would be how this operation is acquiring non-interested consumers personal and financial information and operating like an asset recovery firm that requires upfront payments to “recover” funds. This sort of illicit business conduct is a signature move employed by advance fee scams which is why we urge consumers to tread carefully around WING.

In addition, for a platform that claims to support over 1 million customers worldwide and employs over 10,000 members, surely the site would reflect some sign of respectable traffic inflow instead of failing to acquire hardly any at all. WING also claims to have been existence for over 25 years yet there is little to no information on the internet to support this claim while a WHOIS search will reveal the contrary and reflect that the site was first registered on May 6th, 1999.

Popularity

WingInsurance.com fails to attract a monthly visitor base to allow it to rank amongst market intelligence sites like SimilarWeb. This indicates to us that the site receives virtually no traffic despite their outlandish claims of supporting such as vast quantity of customers and employees.

Can Wing Insurance be Trusted?

Gauging the trustability of Wing Insurance is more difficult than the majority of operations we cross paths with. Consider for a moment how their alleged board members appear to be actual entities that disclose verifiable information regarding their other corporations and it would appear that WING was legit.

However, there are several factors that we cannot overlook such as how WING Insurance does not appear to be an association based in Switzerland, how their site fails to possess a popularity rating or presence anywhere on the internet if it is such an immense operation and why they are operating similar to advanced fee scams that have been on the rise ever since the downfall of the binary options industry.

WingInsurance.com Review – The Verdict

For the time being we are not categorizing Wing Insurance as a scam operation. However, if more information in the future is revealed about this operation or if more troubling consumer feedback is received we will take the necessary measures required to render a more concrete verdict regarding Wing Insurance.

    Buenos días.
    Se han puesto en contacto conmigo los nuevos administradores de WING y me han rebelado toda la supuesta estafa llevada a cabo por los anteriores administradores.
    También me cuenta que intentaran poner una demanda contra los anteriores gestores para que todos los afectados, mas de 130, podamos recuperar nuestro dinero. Si se ponen en contacto con demás afectados no duden en publicarlo. Quizás haciendo un frente común se atiendan antes nuestras reclamaciones y demandas.
    Un saludo.

    Warning to all ! Do not pay a dime and use all info to put them behind bars !! I see the man who said he was James Provost has gone into hiding and is now using the name of David Buchanan It is the same man scamming every one and is just using a new name !! It is the same phone number he is using ! I PRAY TO SEE THEM PUT BEHIND BARS !!

  7. Jon Vaughn

    It is sad to see this scam has been going for so long. I was called by David Buchanan yesterday with the exact same scenario. He knew all about my losses to to the scammer options traders and wa ready to to recover my losses. I had been through this exact same thing a couple years ago that wanted some fees paid a head of recovery which I paid and was ripped off yet again. David assured me that I would only pay their fees AFTER I received my funds. I re-asked three or four times and he kept up the same line that I would pay him after I received my funds. I told him I would not pay a penny ahead of time because of my past scams So I sent him some information expecting him o jump on me but he disappeared today. Because I told him that I would never pay up front? I’m guessing YES!

    • Anita Price

      Yes I wish I can post some of the emails that they sent me so people can know to stay away from them they are a scam I called the SEC and they assured me that there’s only one case out there and that’s Banc to binary that they had on file anything other than that is a scam and they’ve been running this game for years since they know that that case is out there the lady said they do not know about any private cases that came up they only have the one so anybody call you please people go online find us we trying to help you they don’t care that you are innocent person all they trying to do is get your money

      • Hope

        Have been so stupid and just believed. Is there anything we can do to stop there people and get back what they stole from us?

  8. Virjilio DIAZ

    • Anita Price

      I want to add to this hopefully it’ll help some people I was contacted by James Prevost and his partner David Buchanan and they told me that they had recovered my money $188,000 but I had to pay $4,000 per each claim and because I had already settled a claim a real one with the United States government with bank the binary for $4,000 the gentleman had already told me that if anybody was to contact me and tell me that I had to pay some money up front it’s a lie they have all of our information about who was involved in the real claim so they are calling trying to steal money from us and then get upset when you call them out if a gentleman by the name of James Prevost call you it is a scam do not give them any information I didn’t give them any money but I gave them information and I’m going to have to close out accounts and things like that just to make sure cuz I didn’t have nothing in the first place but these people don’t care about hurting good people you got to understand the type of people these are they don’t care that I have seven children they don’t care that I’ve been through for eye surgeries they don’t care that at the time when they was trying to steal $1,700 was the final number that they came up with my lights was about to go off they don’t care so please steer clear David Buchanan is the other name that he gave and some secretary with a crazy email address so hope this

        A binary insurance recovery Firm/broker has been ordered to compensate a client all that he/she invested with their respective platform – plus interest. Titan Trade, also known as 113 other different aliases on the binary options as well as the FOREX trading platforms, including GT Option, Magnum Option & Option FX, just to name a few, was involved in a class action lawsuit. Before they were to be convicted of anything illegal, the platform settled out of court for $217.25 million dollars to be paid to the 10 thousand plus investors effected. RTG trading, who is also known as Banc De Binary and several other aliases on the commodities and currencies exchange market and binary options/FOREX trading platforms, was also taken to court where they settled for 200 plus million dollars. Your Investment Portfolio will be expected for closure in coordination of your Releasing Official & our Finance Department. It is our job the insurance company in charge of your Secured Investment and your Assured Payout (which you signed up for) to disburse said funds. The Secured Exchange Commission board has ordered that a liability check of $11,991.87 be paid to each investment portfolio consecutive to the initial claim granted after proof of investment is validated.

        Please see attached credentials so that you know who you are corresponding with, and then read through the court proceedings, so as to be up to speed on the situation at hand. Next, fill out the POI form to the best of your ability. Remember, the secured exchange commission will already have a thorough documentation on your investment and this attached documentation only serves as proof of actual initial investment. Please keep in mind that any bonuses you were promised or any screen shots of conversations with your broker will help as well as rounded numbers that you remember will help even if you do not have any actual documentation.

        Secured Investments Brokerage Firm is the firm assigned to allocate to you your claim and it is a pleasure to be of your assistance. We have brokers working around the clock to bring an end to this massive binary nightmare that has transpired.

When I searched this document online it is very different than the doctored one he sent me. I will string him along for a bit until I can get more dirt on them and then I will send it to FINRA and any fraud department I can.

            Good for you! Please share with us any new developments if you do indeed report them. It amazes me that they have the audacity to continue this farce, especially considering they know about this thread (I sent James P. a link to it in an email exchange we had where I made it clear I was not buying his act). It would be very satisfying if this actually came to something.

          • Anita Price

            This is a scam and it’s been going on for a little while I posted my information of time please people if you find it if James Primo or David Buchanan contact you this is a scam do not ever send him any money there is a real case that actually happened a couple years ago and it’s only one I actually talked to that s DC and she told me that it’s only one case that has been settled anything outside of that they have nothing to do with it

      • E Carter

        How did you get some of your money back if you dont mind telling me. My personal email is emc_36@hotmail.com and I am in Ontario Canada. If you could email me or we could talk on the phone I would greatly appreciate it.

    Buenos dias.
    Yo tambien he sido estafado por WING a traves de la SR. Donna Richardson, con casi 25000 euros para una reclamacion inicial de 78500 dolares y el dia que realice el ultimo pago me dicen que la demanda colectiva ha sido aprobado por un supuesto Juzgado de Nueva York y que debo pagar 16500 dolares mas al juzgado para que se me indemnize totalmente. Si alguien tiene informacion de estos personajes estoy dispuesto a colaborar y presentar una demanda colectiva contra esta supuestos abogados. Ya tengo contactado con un gran bufete de abogados de Nueva York para denunciar a esta compañia y rogaria poder asociarse para que nuestra fuerza sea mayor.

    • Hope

      Hi there,
      Sorry to hear you have been tricked by these people! If there is way to take them and get our money back, I would like to join. But will it cost money as they ripped me off.

    • Virjilio DIAZ

      Interesante ,todo quiero saber si ya se ha hecho algo legal contra esta empresa, tengo documentos que avalan mis pagos ademas de documentos que ellos me enviaron al día de hoy no me han pagado $165.500,00 dolares que se supone ya son míos, pero ahora salen que la cuenta es en pesos Chilenos

    Got a call from someone that sounded a bit like “Mathieu Legrand from RTG Trading” on 19155346275

    (915) is a Texas (TX) area code

    Major cities: El Paso

    I’m sure they would be spoofing phone numbers anyway.

    He was particularly keen to get me to say “yes” on his recording ,that I agree to get a letter from HSBC regarding compensation from the legal proceedings.

    ( at least I think that was what I was saying yes to. He was very hard to understand due to his accent )

    The email from HSBC was supposed to come through in a couple of hours but never came.

    He said he was from some law firm handling the compensation case and asked why I hadn’t returned the forms James Provost had sent me. Unfortunately I didn’t get his name.

    I mentioned I had received some money back using a credit card charge back but he said they had invested money from all the victims and the profits they made for themselves were being divided up amongst the victims.

    • Jennifer

      Hi I wonder how long it will take or what you need to hear so you can take necessary steps regarding WingInsurance scam! Personally I have tried and even gone to the police but Iam not getting much help. However I have not given up. So when you say you will take necessary steps what do you mean and how long does it have to be for a company that Is robbing people like this ?

    • Courtenay

      This sounds similar to what James P. was claiming to all of us in his suspicious emails. I agree with Jennifer: why is it so difficult to nail down these criminals when so many people have been scammed and they seem to be easy to find?? Is it just that no-one cares because this is so common? Do we need to band together and instigate a class action lawsuit ourselves? I’m not sure how this works exactly… Any input is appreciated!

      • Hope

        If there is any way to catch those liars, please let me know. I have lost so much, been so stupid.

    Hi All this is very enlightening and satisfying to see that there are other that have been sent the same or similar letter from James Provost.
    I live in Auckland New Zealand and read comments from others like myself had been scammed by these low life’s. I’m hesitant to go forward on this and send form… yet seeing there has been some success stories… that i’m skeptical of… maybe copies of their credits would help.
    Is there another or direct process to the commissioner of IRS to make an application to… please advise if anyone has experienced this.

    I received the same bs email, it’s a scam. don’t ever send money upfront for services not rendered yet.
    I agree with Robert, total BS.

    Jesus My phone will not stop ringing now! i was supposed to be taken off the do not call list after i received my funds so i called provost and he says that he did take me off but WHY WONT THEY STOp CallING!!! I am never investing into binary again!

    • Courtenay

      Hi, Joana. Can you elaborate a bit on your situation? I had decided to not bother following up with James, but it sounds like it did work out for you. Would you encourage others to do the same?

      • Joana Calis

        I have received my claim but this is ridiculous now with the phone situation. I have to change my number I literally have 20-40 calls a day from brokers who I believe got my number from James provost. the process with James took a total of 21 days and I recovered everything he said that I would. And to change the money from dollars to euros cost me a pretty penny but that came out at the bank from the transfer from wing

        • Robert

          I don’t believe a word of it! Feel free to post (or email me) bank statements and other proof of your “success” and how you achieved it. You sound like you could also be “Jonothan Vida” and obviously part of the same scam.

        • Courtenay

          Not meaning to pry, but would you say the amount you received was worth it, even if you now have to change your phone number or block every other caller? At least your situation makes this sound like a legitimate case, of which I was skeptical.

          • Joana Calis

            I will not divulge the amount I received for obvious reasons but if you received the same paperwork that I did then the amount was mentioned. I received the liability claim as well as whatever was salvaged from my original investment.

          • Courtenay

            Hmm. This is all very intriguing. Robert’s comment about not believing your story is legitimate does make me hesitate. As for your comment about the amount being stated in the paperwork, there actually wasn’t an amount stated in that context for me — however, in an email James Provost wrote to me, he stated the following: “The Secured Exchange Commission board has ordered that a liability check of $11,991.87 be paid to each investment portfolio consecutive to the initial claim granted after proof of investment is validated.” Is this what you’re referring to? Sounds unlikely to me but would be nice if it were true…

          • Robert

            My letter stated about US$12000 even though I didn’t lose anywhere near that amount. It was also going to be paid without having to prove my deposits. I filled out the attached paperwork with a guestimate of my losses and next I’m being promised a big cheque provided I please pay 20% upfront.

    Thank God I found this page! I received a legitimate-looking email with attachments (recovery funds form, case file) on 5 August and was happy to learn these crooks were held accountable and I was going to see some reimbursement. It took me a while to collate all the information and it wasn’t complete but I sent it and received an almost immediate response informing me my claim had been approved for 8 times more than I lost. The accompanying documentation made me think twice (as well as the upfront fee, of course).
    The attached HSBC letter was in the wrong format, the letterhead copied and pasted, as were the signatures, and the bank stamp warped as if the final edit was wrongly scaled. The WING letter was also wrongly formatted and with 4 different fonts. It had my name at the top but in the body, it mentioned someone else.
    I asked mr Provost for contact details as well as for the people mentioned in the other correspondence. He responded with the following details: 70 Essex Rd, Westbrook, CT 06498 1-347-345-3179, where there does seem to be an insurance office.
    In reading the comments here I can’t help but notice equally sloppy work from the positive commentators. I highly doubt “Jonothan Vida” and “exavier bean” are legitimate entities. I’m keen to be kept informed of further developments.

    • Annika

      Thank-you Robert for your informative email/text!! Thanks also for disclosing the address which Mr Provost gave you!! I am very interested to hear about your outcomes with the that!! If you were successful then I might try them too!!!
      Someone from WING contacted me regarding retrieving money I lost through Binary Options! They wanted $1,500.00 which I didn’t have so I was told to put a deposit of $500 down and pay the rest off when I can…. Perhaps foolishly, I did this and haven’t heard another thing from them!
      Sadly they prey on people like myself who have lost huge amounts of money and who are desperate to get at least some of their money back!!
      All of this has changed my life for the worse… much worse!!! I am now living in almost poverty and can hardly pay for my bills and food! I really don’t know what do!!
      I am retired now and live on a pension…
      I got cancer 2 years ago and I think all this hardship and stress at least partially caused it!!! My house should be paid off by now and renovations done!!! This is all the cruel result of people’s greed and stealing from unsuspecting victims…
      Sorry about the big rave!! I hope you got your money back!!!

      • Robert

        I’m sorry to hear about your troubles, Annika. I have not received my money back from anyone and I don’t believe I ever will. Just some cowboys who made a quick buck. I am normally a savvy investor and do my research but I got slow-rolled with this one.
        Depending on where you live you may be able to find out if there was, in fact, a class action and if you’re entitled to reimbursement. I don’t doubt there is some truth to the legal paperwork we all received but I have neither the time nor the energy to further pursue it. It deposited all the paperwork with the police who have strong interest in stopping people like “James Provost”. He’ll hopefully get his comeuppance.

        • Annika

          Thanks again Robert!!
          I want to believe these scam artists soo much that I keep giving my precious, hard-earned money to them, hoping against hope that THIS time I will get my money back!! Like you, I now believe I never will!!! Very sad but true!! I hate to think how much I have given these rogues since I was robbed initially!!! If only I could go back in time and stop myself from going down that path!!!!
          All I can do now is to try to forget it all and move on!’ 😢

    I received my payment after 3 days, I was promised 24 hours and i was promised no more fees but i was charged 435$ more through my bank to convert the funds. I did receive a substantial amount but it was well deserved after what titan trade did to me by taking my money! Though a little agitated, Thank you Mr. Provost and Mr Parram

    • Robert

      I call BS on this. It’s the same script as some of the other affirmative posts. Why don’t these people post a complete paper trail? BS!!

  21. Jonothan Vida

    I recieved payment via wire transfer today It took a total of 6 days when i was originally promised 24 hours. I was also promised that I would receive a check but i received a payment from my bank after they called me to verify an incoming transfer and then charger me over 900$ australian just to change the funds over from american dollars to Australian dollars. I did receive my Payout though.

  22. Jackie

    OK guys
    This is a scam just like the others. I just talked with the real James PROVOST. I called his office in
    Rochester, New York. He knows nothing about this. Any doubts call Shannon Farrarro at Provost’s office: ph# 585-568-6950 American Portfolio financial Services or ph# 585-668-6900/
    Sorry I wish is was real for all our benefit.

    So sorry to hear that Annika darling a bunch also. .

    • Courtenay

      I am about to have a phone call with James Provost today. I received the same email as everyone else (I had been scammed by Titan Trade, one of the many operating names of this fraudulent binary options company). He sent me a multi-page PDF listing his credentials (which actually seemed pretty legitimate) as well as a 26-page document outlining the legal information, and forms for me to fill out to prove my involvement in the scam. We have been having difficulty connecting on the phone (he calls but I can’t hear anything), so haven’t spoken yet. I googled him in the meantime and found this page. Jackie, I will be very curious to see what you find out! Obviously, it would be great if this is for real and the victims of these scams could recoup our investments (I had simply written mine off as lost, three years ago) and give Titan Trade what they deserve. If I manage to speak to James on the phone, I will share any salient points here.

    • Annika Woudstra

      Thanks Jackie!!! I’ll be looking out for further posts from you!!
      I gave someone from WING $500 and haven’t heard anything since!! Still living in hope … ☹️

    Hola. Sobre el comentario que escribir, quisiera pedir disculpas a wing insurance ya por lo que se ve Hubo problemas burocráticos. Gracias

  25. Jackie Falls

    This is what I received from James Provost this week!!!
    A binary insurance recovery Firm/broker has been ordered to compensate a client all that he/she invested with their respective platform – plus interest. Titan Trade, also known as 113 other different aliases on the binary options as well as the FOREX trading platforms, including GT Option, Magnum Option & Option FX, just to name a few, was involved in a class action lawsuit. Before they were to be convicted of anything illegal, the platform settled out of court for $217.25 million dollars to be paid to the 10 thousand plus investors effected. RTG trading, who is also known as Banc De Binary and several other aliases on the commodities and currencies exchange market and binary options/FOREX trading platforms, was also taken to court where they settled for 200 plus million dollars. Your Investment Portfolio will be expected for closure in coordination of your Releasing Official & our Finance Department. It is our job the insurance company in charge of your Secured Investment and your Assured Payout (which you signed up for) to disburse said funds. The Secured Exchange Commission board has ordered that a liability check of $11,991.87 be paid to each investment portfolio consecutive to the initial claim granted after proof of investment is validated.

    Please see attached credentials so that you know who you are corresponding with, and then read through the court proceedings, so as to be up to speed on the situation at hand. Next, fill out the POI form to the best of your ability. Remember, the secured exchange commission will already have a thorough documentation on your investment and this attached documentation only serves as proof of actual initial investment. Please keep in mind that any bonuses you were promised or any screen shots of conversations with your broker will help as well as rounded numbers that you remember will help even if you do not have any actual documentation.

    If there are any other questions, or concerns, feel free to reply or call our headquarters; 1-347-345-3179. Again, please fill out the POI Proof of Investment form sign it and send it back so that we can submit it to the SEC immediately and determine the amount of your claim.

        Hi, Exavier. Could you elaborate on your outcome for all of us who are wondering whether this is real or not? What were the proceedings? Were you asked to contribute a percentage upfront? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    • Robert

      No, he didn’t and you’re a liar and part of the scam. prove me wrong by posting scans of your bank statements and other qualifying documentation. I have delivered my file to the police but I’ll happily drop it if anyone has actual proof.

  28. Kim emerton

    Hi
    i have also been called by James Provost he also asked for 15% up front and i said i couldn’t pay that much so he asked for bank statements to show i don’t have much fund and i may be able to only pay half that and the rest when i receive the funds, has anyone paid him and been scammed for it?

    • Alexander Edelman

      I got him tracked a week ago!

      • Hope

        Hi there,
        I believe you are a victim too? What do you mean by you got him tracked?

  29. Dorothy Parker

    James Provost has contacted me also. Exactly the same as above. I was promised a big insurance payout ( I too lost funds to binary options scammer) I have also been asked for a deposit ( almost $2000 US) to receive my insurance payout from Escrow. What a scam ! The documents look forged-

    WING INSURANCE ,HSBC ,SEC ….

    • Kim emerton

      Hi Dorothy
      Did you deposit funds, or just know its a scam by the documents?

      • Dorothy Parker

        I have not deposited funds too many red flags

    Hi,

Alguien me puede orientar para recuperar el dinero

      A mi a través de Paypal también consiguieron estafarme ahora la Policía esta investigando

  32. Annika Woudstra

    Hi Stephen,

    What is it you would like to know? Please do not ask me for any money!! Even if I had some I will NEVER hand over more to anybody I don’t know!!! ( but, no problem, as I don’t have any money anyway!!). I have been left devastated too many times by fraudulent traders and by others who claim they can get my money back for me !! The last of these was from World Wide Trader Recovery Platform!! Sounds good but they ripped me off as much as the others. I am only just managing to keep my head above water!! I am an age pensioner but I’m looking for work again because making ends meet now, is too hard!!

  33. Carlos

    También a mi me contactó WING y me ofrecen lo mismo: rescatar mis dineros estafados con anterioridad. La ùltima llamada de un Sr. Larry.
    Ofrece mucha seguridad en recuperar los fondos perdidos y, me pide llenar un formulario.Y enviar los documentos para hacerlos parte de la Demanda colectiva.
    Ya me han estafado varias veces y nada se de esta Compañía. Si tienen alguna certeza con respecto a WING se los agradecerìa.

    • Annika Woudstra

      Hi Julio and Carlos,
      I can’t speak or read Spanish. Would you please translate this for me? Thanks in advance!!
      Annika Woudstra

    • Robert

      I took the liberty of using Google Translate: WING also contacted me and offered me the same thing: rescue my money cheated in advance. The last call from a Mr. Larry.
      It offers a lot of security in recovering the lost funds and, it asks me to fill out a form. And send the documents to make them part of the Class Action Lawsuit.
      I have already been cheated several times and nothing of this Company. If you have any certainty regarding WING, I would appreciate it.

  34. Annika Woudstra

    Hi Stephen,
    I have tried replying to the above email but am unable to send … I think!! Have you received an email from me?
    Anyway, I won’t send any more until I hear from you again!!

    Thanks in advance,

    Annika Woudstra

  35. Mat Jackmond

    Stephen,
    I was contacted yesterday by WING (a person named Michael Adams) saying a similar thing, but adding “US SEC” “IRS”, “HSBC Bank” and “Secured Escrow Account” to his speech. He is supposed to email me forms today – I am curious to see how “phony” the forms look (I have not gotten an email yet). He talked about a “secure escrow account” but that there would be a 10% DST Tax that I would need to pay to get the funds released from the “secure escrow account”. I asked why I could not authorize the DST to be paid from the “escrow account” and he gave some answer about that is not how it worked.
    Have you heard back from Annika (since her email was in April/May)? Has WING contacted her further? I too am very skeptical about what he says. Looking forward to hearing from you on this matter – soon!

  36. Annika Woudstra

    I have been approached by phone by someone who claims he is from.WING. He told me that I have money owed to me after being scammed by some Binary Trading Platforms, and that WING can help me. I have also been scammed by several people saying they can help me recover my money and after sending them $1.000’s, I don’t hear from them again! Even though this person said they won’t ask for any money until after my money has been recovered … I am very hesitant!! He said his name is James Provost. Have you heard about him?
    I am an aged pensioner. If I hadn’t been scammed in the past my house would have been paid off and at least some renovations would have been done. Instead, I’ve been left barely being able to pay my bills including food at times! I lost at least $100,000.00!

    • Stephen

      Annika I would like to know more about this and you can feel free to email me please.

      • Annika Woudstra

        Hi Stephen! I just replied to you but now it looks like that email has gone missing … did you receive it? I’m just wondering what you would like to know more about?
