Yokam Reviews 4

SCAM
their company supposed to be in Tianhjin and Shanghai China
There is no registered company under their English or Chinese names in China

I have been working with yokam and the team for north of 2 years at this point. I started with $15,000.00 and I have had the fortune of some great oppertunities. Thanks to the guys at yokam I was able to pay for my husbands back surgery, something we have been hoping to do for a decade!! I cant thank you enough, yokam I am forever in debt!!

My story is unfortunately very similar to the gentleman, Mark Church, who has shared his experience on this forum. I too was contacted by a telesales agent, who sounded believable and I was convinced to take some risk on the US stock market.
Over the period of about a year the company managed to convince me to invest and, according to my account on their website (back when it was accessible), I was in a favourable financial position.
As with the other review, when I tried to realise some of the profits this is when it became evident that the whole company appears to be a scam.
The most striking thing is that they would never send me any written answers to my queries. They would always call and have verbal conversations, coming up with all manner of reasons as to why I could not sell some stocks and realise my investments.
From telling me that I needed to first settle some "corporate assistance" for a purchase, to suddenly finding out that I had warrants attached to the sale of some shares, to being a "family business" needing to deduct percentages for early termination of relationship. None of which is recorded anywhere in any documentation or on their website.

I won't go into much further detail suffice to say that now my anti-virus even refuses to open their website. My main complaint is that they would not share with me a comprehensive statement of account and to this day they have kept my money.

I urge anyone reading this review not to deal with anyone connected to the "company" calling themselves Yang, Odell & Kostner. They have a variety of artists who call you, all with differing UK-based accents and who answer to names such as, Nathan Porter, Peter Jenkins, Scott Mathieson.

If the company had any integrity whatsoever, they would work extremely hard to satisfy their customer and grow the relationship based on mutual ethics, however this does not appear to be on their list of priorities.
I too am in the process of further investigation

I was contacted through a telesales call and was put through to an investment manager who sounded experienced, knowledgeable and believable in the U.S. stockmarket. I researched their website and decided to invest some money and build a portfolio toward my future retirement with Yang, Odell and Kostner. What I failed to notice is that this business is not registered, therefore is a scam, but for me, it was too late.

I needed to withdraw some money after a few months for a business commitment, and this is where things began to go wrong. Instead of transferring the amount of my money that I requested they asked for a refundable 10% payment of the sum I was cashing in for an AML certificate, and my money would be sent after receipt of my payment. I paid it and they didn’t send it. Instead they asked for another refundable 10% of the sum for a PIC certificate and said it was necessary being an investor in the U.S market but living outside the U.S. I paid it and still no return of my money. They then asked for another refundable 10% payment for a TI with a promise the transfer would take place immediately after receiving this final fee. Five months after I started the repatriation of my money and paying the three refundable fees, they still have not made my transfer to me after promising they would, and to add absolute insult to injury, they asked for yet another large payment.

I am sharing my extremely bad experience so that other people, hopefully, do not get caught up in this business. Taking money without intention of returning it is fraud and absolutely disgraceful. I only wish there had been reviews I could have read before sending my money to them, but there weren’t any available. I am writing this review as I will not sit back and let this pass so they can ruin other people's lives without knowing this is what they intend to do.

Reviews are always valuable to make better decisions from other people’s experiences, good or bad.
If anyone reading this has invested with them and has not seen their money returned, please add to the reviews.
I am taking action to have Yang, Odell and Kostner investigated.
