buckylegs, I am in NSW.
I am conducting inquiries into this company. You need to make a report with your local police. Do the report. Get a Qprime number. Link it to QP1100774863. Dont let anyone them tell you to report it in NSW. You report it and get a number. The more reports the better. Bring every correspondence between you and this company. Post your outcomes.
Bucklegs,
I will enquire at my local police station about what steps you need to follow to lodge a police fraud report.
When speaking to my bank today about the fraud, they said that the police have the authority to request the account holder details i.e. name, address, phone, where they suspect fraud. This gives us some hope that the police will be able to get the details of the person or person's that the Alpha Select bank account was setup by.

Alf107 when you make your report have them link it to QP1100774863 in Qld. That way law can have an idea of the magnitude of this operation. This is very organised crime.
i got cold called, didnt have $5000, so they took my $3750.00 gladly. now i have to tell my wife and 3 kids.
how can they get away with this?
Yes we have been scammed out of $25,000 too first $5000 back in april then $10,000 may and a further $10,000 in june the guys name i spoke to was steve.Have been talking to graig was told to go to police i live in QLD but has to be passed onto nsw fraud squad and the sargent said he would do that.The phone call to me was cold called lets stick together and get this scum hopefully the police are onto alphas commonwealth bank account.
i got one too with different acn number on front pageView attachment Information Package.pdf ive contacted accc and asic, its easy to do and all online. i only lost $3750 but still worth it for those that have lost a heap more. dirty scumbags
I'll also Join any joint effort to get these pricks, as I said in a previous post I got done for 9k, 3k of which I stupidly used from an overdraft I have, and the scumbag Steve had the cheek to say "i don't want to take food off your table".
I've disputed the transactions through the bank but that’s going to take 6 week if the account is still open.
I've been thinking is it worth getting a group together and going to ACA or Today tonight because of the Commonwealth Bank account. They could use some sort of Harbouring criminals angle and force the Bank to pay back the money obtained through their bank??.
Maybe I'm a bit naive but when I opened a business account I had to provide all my business details inc ABN & ACN, Surly they had to do the same.

You'd seem to have nothing to lose in making an approach to one of the tabloid current affairs shows.
There have been previous examples of publicity actually forcing some action.
Good luck.

I spoke to the Police here on the Gold Coast and was told to write a request for my money to be refunded and send it to the 1 Market St address. Once the letter was returned "RTS" I could then lodge a complaint. I too spoke to Alpha Select UK and got a very firm denial of any relationship between them and A/S Australia. Slow process but any way to publicise this scam thru the media may get results, or at least the authorities off their collective butts. I agree - I think the ASIC and the ACCC both toothless agencies - someone should poke them with a stick
I too have lost a good sum of money.
"Jacob Michaels - American from Alpha Select", if you are reading this I hope you learn to sleep with one eye open.
EVERYBODY get in contact with Southport Police on the Gold Coast. This is where the scammers were operating from and with drawing the funds by ATM.
There Commonwealth Bank account everyone deposited money into is linked to the Gold Coast and CBA corporate investigators are waiting for the police from this branch to get in contact with them.
If you have a police report number already, give it too SouthPort Police , in hope they quickly catch these scum, with enough people complaining.
Keep up the good fight.
I'm all for getting television exposure via ACA or TT, it would certainly elevate and speed up the investigation process with all authorities.
When this story is presented to the TV media - either Channel 9 or 7, I'm sure that they would grab this with both hands. Its a huge story considering the number of victims and money involved - several millions. Much bigger than the 'Bouquet Bandit' story that got news coverage last week.
Who is gunna release the Alpha Select Scums scam story to the media?
Hi Everybody.
I'll will be in anything to get these shysters. I spoke with a Detective from the S.A. fraud squad this morning who told me that this boiler room scam as it's known is international and as such is under investigation by ASIC investigators as state police appear ( at this stage ) to have no jurisdiction but it is early days and that may change
He will notify me if it does change and I will tell you. Incidentally as soon as I mentioned
Alpha Select he knew exactly who I was talking about and what the scam was.
Further in the conversation he told me that the next phase is a call from overseas telling you that ( for a fee ) a legal company will recover your money and evidentally it appears to be genuine so be aware people.
The Southport connection appears to be right on the money.
He stessed two things, be awake to to any calls or emails from overseas and to report this one to ASIC.
Regards David
i have lost 25.000.00 not happy scums are not the only words to use for these sort of people they will all get there day dont worry about that i will join with anybody to catch these people jacob michaels and jason jones

Right guys
Asic ACCC are about as much help as a striaght jacket.
useless people, all i got was see your laywer, some protection they offer!
i tracked down address where Alpha select was reigistered.
16 lindaway Tullermarine was an import export buisness Alpha Select did operate out of the address
the Chap that owned alpha select was a mobile phone salesman who has been getting abusive calls understandable but he has been scammed too his ABN and ACN numbers and addresses same as his bussiness agent in st kilda rd Melbourne. Who was beside himself when I explianed it all very nice man very helpfull in trying too find info for me so please don't ring Geoff and abuse him.
And as a Asic agent they even Asic gave the run around and would tell him very little he was on speaker while i was in his office they are unbelievable people disband accc and asic i say save Government:banghead money.
Now what i have just found out through searching around its a Gold Coast scam by the look of it commonwealth bank 42 bundall rd is where all our moneys went.
think i did well for an ametuer lol better than the police ..but who knows if the bank will release the id photo its up too them the police say and bank say police pass the buck boys looks like the commonwealth protect the crims in more ways than one. i guess i am a bit provocative but we are all peeved off with the blocking you get every way u turn just have to see what come next i guess
