In September 2016 we warned for the first time through this blog about a fraudulent set up called Minfin-gr, Court of Athens or the so-called Supreme Court of Cassation, Areios Pagos
Although they seem to keep a low activity, we have to insist that these fraudsters are still active and every now and then we do receive inquiries from consumers who are still in contact with this set up.
Over the past 18 months they have been using different names, telephone numbers and email addresses.
Their documents, always full of stamps and official logos, are becoming more and more elaborated, but are all FAKE.
The story of this bogus set up is that there was a court claim against the holiday club or Resale Company that took money from the consumer, but the claim was done in Greece as the money from the company was located in Greece.
A story that doesn’t seem to make sense at all, but for some reason with their apparent “professional” attitude on the phone and all fake elaborated official documents, there are consumers falling for this.
The consumer has been awarded money supposedly but needs to pay taxes, court fees, and whatever fee they come up with as long as the consumer keeps on paying.
Payments are requested through Money-Gram or Xpress Money in the name of the “officer” at the courthouse of Tax representative.
THIS IS A SCAM!

I have been contacted today by Isabella at the Court of Cassation Areios Pagos claiming they have £12,000 awarded to us but bank details need to be given to one of their solicitors to claim the money and there will be a charge made for them doing this. She is ringing me tomorrow to find out what I want to do.

BEWARE ! – Over recent weeks I have been pestered by Theia Panayai, Lorena Artino, Rebecca Makaris, Jason Hayward reference a timeshare compensation award. They have used phone numbers : 0030 695 511 7619 and 0030 694 891 1248. They come over as very professional, slick but are still fraudsters.
David.
I’ve received phone calls from a lady called Fleur Jacobs for the past 5 days stating that the Greek courts have successfully awarded me £19000 against Club Class holidays and transferred the money to Cyprus. The last call from Fleur stated that I need to pay £740 for a cross border litigation permit made by money gram to receive my money. Yet another scam I think.
I have been contacted by this outfit, the woman gave her name as Fleur Jacobs and a phone number of 0030 694 397 2671
