Australian Wine Index review: boiler room wine investment scam 416

I did initially, then came down in lift, thought better of it and went back to take the cash back. I could no reconcile the refusal to let me view my wine at no risk to AWI to prove their intentions. It is not my side that has consistently behaved uncommercially and with scant regard for customers. I do not have to part with more cash to show my integrity in a transaction the onus is on AWI to prove it's true intentiona nd integity before any more cash changes hands. All it requires is an email to the storage facility by AWI to authorise a strictly viewing only, which has no risk to AWI, and then I can pay for delivery - to refuse this does not make any sense and hence the trust remains broken.
My advice, for what it's worth, ...
* * * DO NOT part with ANY CASH till you KNOW you have seen with your own eyes the wines at the storage facility and have it confirmed they are yours and can extract them. Even then, AWI should send a notice email to the storage facility authorising you to settle the storage bill directly with the storage facility on behalf of AWI and then you extract your wines. I would advise to short circuit the transaction by essentially removing AWI. If you pay AWI, I strongly doubt any payment will make it to the storage facility to release your product. I suspect AWI will keep any payment and still intend to default on the storage facility by claiming bankruptcy.
I would like to think I am wrong and I can trust them, but history dictates otherwise. Their turn to PROVE their honesty, not ours. Good Luck!

totally agree with your statement, this will be another round of discussion on and on and on. You mean you have not seen your wine after they transfer to CWT? so where is this TBW now? So this Alvin is in charge now?
weird ### happens. so this is never ending,

Wines lost in CTW storage should be CTW responsibility to inform AWI and the wines owner. Most importantly, these wines are duty UNPAID to Singapore Customs. Isn't it reasonable for both CWT and AWI allow their clients to validate the quantity discrepancy if any so that appropriate actions could be taken earlier with Singapore Customs? Otherwise we could ended up with escaping paying duty issue to Singapore Customs. Clearly, we don't want this happens.
Maybe AWI can advise us with good reason why we can't see our wines by risking us against duty unpaid offense?

I am not sure about this saga though, have any of you contacted CWT to view the wines?

Dear All
I tried to contact the guy whom I bought Rum from at TBW and he gave me an AWI email to follow up. I emailed to the lady at the AWI and she said the 2 businesses are not related. And that owner at TBW has run away... :(

oh no jill, this is unfortunate, so you have not seen your rum?

Learning that Mata may well have exported a very large volume of wine stolen from all of us directly from CWT, and hence was not exposed to the duty cost. Hard however to ascertain whether this happened and is actually correct.

Anyone has the benard email from cwt ?

whose Bernard?

Fellow victims (I'm one too),
I'm afraid this is about the end of TBW that includes our investments. As you're all aware that Guillianno Mata has disappeared, TBW has zero physical existence in Singapore (correct me if I'm wrong) except for some vague information regarding storage of wines (possible at CWT) and rums (somewhere, I'm unable to confirm this yet).
From what I gather from someone claimed to be the new CEO of TBW (and is not actually based in Singapore), he has also been double-crossed by Mata. "The evil Mata" (his words) has cheated him to take over TBW while transferring or selling out most of the wine/rum storage without his knowledge. The new CEO hence is trying to reverse his name from being on the company. It means he's trying to get out of this. IF this actually happens, TBW will become a dead-end as there is no other contact or communication to be made. I can't verify any of this information, but I can see that TBW has become a messy black hole for all of us. Please share if you have any other information that is different or contradictory to mine as I have run out of contacts to ask for information.
For some of you, who are in contact with Alvin and his so-called AWI, be careful of what you may get into. If Alvin is honest about his 40K payment and other extras to Mata to buy back AWI, it seems like he has also been crossed by Mata. However, I'd rather not take any of his words seriously as I don't believe that Alvin is less evil than Mata. If anything, Alvin has been there all these years and NOTHING has ended well. I highly doubt Alvin's ownership of AWI as this only came from him; and all AWI has right now is a tiny nameplate at the new Katong office, a few big file cabinets contain (I believe) most, if not all of client files in PAPER (i was shown mine which missed all of the important contracts), and AWI email domain. Whatever he is offering now is to switch your wine/rum investment to a new fancy investment but that must come with your topping-up money. And if you press him about the physical storage of the wine/rum, he would tell you that he had no idea and push all the blame to Mata. How will Alvin use something that he has no idea as collateral for new investment is beyond my comprehension? But I can jolly well see that he is staring at your topping up money. This will go the same for the money that you need to pay him to see your wine/rum that will never happen.
I have been given advice to get court order and apply to the storage company. They may be willing to release the wine/rum to you but bear in mind the possible due storage cost and tax that you may have to pay. Honestly I'm not sure how to get a court order, and above all to get a court order against whom? Shall it be against AWI as its name stands on the contract and TBW has become a vacuum?

Would any of you be kind and knowledgeable to advise? I guess not. This is maybe why so many of us are here today.

don't go this is a scam too.

Also went Ngee Ann City, talked 3 hours to try to get me to exchange wine for realty assets. In the end nothing about ITRA class lawsuit action by English lawyer, now they are pretending to be lawyers to help us out, they say about 2000 people have signed up, it's another scam.

Dear Fellow AWI client's you do not have to take my words for it . but no one force you to invest in TBW . Yes ITRA is a Scam don't forget AWI is a PTE LTD . and also STILL STUPID can i have your client number so that i can call and meet up with you. please do not call yourself still stupid,

maybe i should call myself that as it gives me ### everyday if i didn't take over i don't know what will happen to your wines so can i have your client number.

@ Alvin Lim: I'm NOT Ian Wilde. It's surprisingly new that you said you've sacked Ian...whatever for?
If you're sincere about helping or doing anything meaningful here for any of us. Trouble yourself do a few of these things:
1. Draw a line between you and TBW / Mata Giullianno: means prove to us that you're actual owner of AWI now. The last time I checked AWI is still registered at Nankin Row.
2. If you can do number 1, then tell us what assets of wines / rums that you and AWI have under control now, be it: wines at Menlo, wines at CWT or rum at wherever it is...You WERE THERE when AWI was sold and you WERE THERE with TBW people in the scheme of wine and rum switch so do not SCREAM that you had no part in it.
3. Whatever you do or say, DO NOT even mention of any of your fancy new investments. Let's only talk about wines and rums which most of the people here lost money for.

Alvin. I have a case whether AWI took money from me for a purchase of 18 bottles of Grange which never turned up. Please call me to discuss because none of your staff are responding. C3031.

hi gareth, is there any update for AWI ?

dbaywatch - got a Ramsley who sent in mail then everything turned eerily quite after I have replied. Worried about the wines stashed with CWT.

so you have not seen the wine too

so what now. can anyone advise

To my best understanding, CWT storage is going to give out a letter with regarding to wine stored in their warehouse. I have not seen any actual document. Have any of you received such letter?

hello, any feedback, I need some guidance on this crap

Scam after scam, Now does anyone knows if our wines exists?

These brokers really had me for almost all of my life savings, it started with small investments and really strong assurances, although they let me withdraw once a very minute amount but really and truly I had been elaborately taken for almost everything. After trying severally to get my money back, through a different department from my brokers company I was feeling distraught. Then I came across Binaryoptionassetrecovery (DOT) (COM) on a forum different people left positive reviews and then I contacted the admin on the site, honestly I had to really take my time in making sure I wasn’t about to loose any more money and time, luckily for me in a couple of days they had recovered 90% of my investments including profits. Usually wouldn’t do this but if you’ve ever lost money to any of these fake investment scams, including cryptocurrency try Binaryoptionassetrecovery (DOT) (COM) there service is perfect.

During my early days of binary option i fell into a lot of online scams, trying to trade bitcoin and invest in binary options. Which nearly wrecked me out, making me loose up to 279k very confused on what to do until my boss introduced me to an online recovery agent recoverywealthnow360 at gmail dot com. A recovery expert who helped me recover all my money back from those scammers

I was so devastated after i lost 14350$ to a fake Bitcoin investor, a co worker told me about someone who got his loss back and we evntuallky got the contact of this recovcery team. I was skeptical at first because I had tried different means to get my money back but none worked. I reached out eventually and they helped me recover my loss without stress. I recommend ( support@ corecrypto .tech ), send them a mail. The testimonial page on their webiste is enough to convince you. Truly credible.
