AICB Ltd, Gyarmati, Mercur Group SCAM, Fraud

[synergyj]

I am writing this post because I have no other choice to alert the other people who may come across with Hungarian native Mr. Zoltan Gyarmati and his offshore company named

AICB Ltd

(British Virgin Island registered company) and the so called

Mercur Group

(which is not a company and doesn't exist, and this proof can be confirmed by any UK based lawyer) and the sole ownership company of Gyarmati which named Mercur Holding Group Ltd. registered in 175 HIGH STREET, TONBRIDGE KENT TN9 1BX, UK, Company Number 05928953 (I never signed anything with this company), that he is a big time scam artist and fraud!!!!I came across him in 2010 when he offered me a way higher return on my cash money as usual broker houses and/or other institution does. That time he offered me 20%-40% / annum with a so called CDS capital guarantee. He never could show me any proof that this CDS is backed with anything, however that time the lawyer who works for him (if I remember correctly his name was Dr.Barbarick or something) is underwrite this CDS, which was fair.So bottom line after almost 1 year he came up with an even higher investment return, this time was 40-80% again with CDS guarantee etc...
This time I have invested in his AICB Ltd a great sum of EUR's from my wealth. He sold me some kind of share from this BVI company for 100 USD which I paid him in cash.
The deal was that till he cannot give this high profit he will pay 3% quarterly on my money which is also fair.
Anyhow months passed by nothing happened I wrote to him several times and there was no answer. Then I started to get worried about my investment so I started to do my own investigation.
What I found is a BIG time SCAM which is runs by Mr. Zoltan Gyarmati an almost 60 years old Hungarian native chap!!!!
He collected up to 4 million EUR money from individuals ( I believe he still does it) for his investment scams and the guarantee always this CDS bullshit (which now I know worst nothing since nothing behind it and the lawyer is a scam artist as well!!). I have managed to meet 4 other investor of his and all of them shared the same experience. Now he has my money almost over 1 year I received nothing and he always promising me something. I have gone to lawyers but since the contract been signed with his offshore AICB Ltd I cannot do anything. And civil cases we all know never finish!
I WARN EVERYBODY WHO COME ACROSS HIM, MR ZOLTAN GYARMATI AND HIS AICB LTD, MERCUR HOLDING GROUP LTD OR THE NON EXISITING MERCUR GROUP or AICB Ltd and/or GYARMATI'S NAME JUST RUN AWAY AND DO NOT, REPETING DO NOT GIVE HIM EVEN ONE CENT!Now we are just in a way to set up a group where we collectively going to sue him as an individual. Time will tell if I can get back my money from him or not!
Mod edit: made it easier to read, there's no need to shout. DJ

My English is not very good so I use the google translator program! I'm glad someone finally put it up at this cheater on the Internet. Festival colonies around 2010 I met and I laid into him at the end of 2011. Since then literally disappeared! I'm sorry and I got a letter the other day that the IT systems to be updated! It's all a big lie and scam which Gyarmati runs. The promise was that I get a 3 month payment is 3% a year, so far did not materialize. I asked back my money in May 2012, which still did not pay the AICB Ltd and Colonial me!I agree with Synergyj it is a well-constructed fraud and embezzlement! I have already started the process againts Gyarmati and AICB Ltd but because of the Mercur Group does not exist and Colonial only British company the Mercur Holding Group is exist but is a dormant and I have no contract whit this company, but the lawyers found out already in the accounting office's name address, which is an interesting method for registration of title, and that they are using Town Bridge to the HSBC bank. My lawyer will act in Volksbank in Hungary since thats the Hungarian bank they use as well as other supervisory bodies, too!

Seems like I am not the only victim of this Mercur Group scam! Luckily I only invested in to AICB Ltd a small sum but its been more than 6 months. Lately I started to receiving emails from Mercur Group one of them even came from Gyarmati Zoltan directly. He made up some kind of title for him self and refered to some company which I never heard of (just read about it above) and never signed contract with! I only signed contract with an AICB Ltd. British Virgin Island incorporated offshore company and now I find out that he is the only director in the offshore company! Means he is the only one who runs the show. Few days ago I received another email which was 180 degree different than the one I received from them in June 2012! I beleive since this show is run by one individual namely Gyarmati Zoltan and he has no knowladge in any law system and he has no group behind (as he wanted to show in his emails) he is a cheeter and big SCAM artist!
I wait a little more may be some mirricle comes and he pays back money money otherwhise I also going to instruct my lawyers to act agints him and his AICB Ltd. and since I have very good connections in Volksbank Hungary I already find out that the money been transfered to Austria some time ago (which again a surprise because I never give him premision to do this, and belive non of us who been involved in his SCAM game!!!)!
I just surfed in the internet and fined this site whit the above comments and also find another one:
http://antifraudintl.org/showthread.php ... ig-SCAM!!!! where I going to post my comment as well!!!

I have read the comments and since I am also one of the victim of Gyarmati and his AICB Ltd and Mercur Group scam I post my comment as well however I believe he scamed mostly hungarians so therefore I post my comment in hungarian.
2012 év elején kötöttem meg a szerződésem a Gyarmati féle csaló Mercur Group-al azon belül is az AICB td-vel. Aki ajánlotta egy nagyon jó ismerősöm volt, így igazából nem is a cég hanem az ő szava számított nekem!
Nem kevés pénzt raktam be az AICB Ltd offshore cégbe, melynek egyik igazgatója a Gyarmati Zoltán aki miatt a jelenbeli probléma is bekövetkezett.
2012 májusában hivatalosan kiértesített a cég, hogy a gyűjtési szakaszt lezárták és indítják a befektetést, majd hosszú csend után kaptam egy emailt miszerint valami kockázatelemzés miatt nem indítja a cég a befektetést. Az ajánlóm persze bemutatta hivatalos dokumentumokat, hogy ez nem igaz, így visszakértem a tőkémet! Ennek már több mint 1 hónapja. Azóta közel 4-5 levelet (melyek tartalma teljesen üti egymást) kaptam Mercur Group-tól (ennyit soha nem kaptam) ahol is köteleznek engem mint befektetőt dolgokra és további költségekre.
Ügyvédemet 2 hete értesítettem a történtekről és amit talált z megdöbbentett!
Gyarmati Zoltán az egyszemélyes tulajdonos mindenhol! Volksbank Magyarország asszisztál neki a pénzgyűjtésben, mert a szerződéseim áttekintése után az angol jogban is jártas ügyvédem elmondta, hogy nem teljesen legális amit végeznek!
Most hivatkozik egy cégre Mercur Holding Group Limited, mellyel soha egyetlen egy szerződést sem írtam alá (persze ennek a cégnek is, mely amúgy 100 GBP alaptőkéjű), hogy annak a nevében cselekszik. Nincs mögöttük semmilyen angol csoport sem ügyvéd sem semmi más, kivéve a veszprémi ügyvédjét dr. Barbarics aki persze, hogy még zaftosabb legyen a sztori, fedezetlen értékpapírokat őriz és jegyez ellen Gyarmati cégének.
Ügyvédem meg fogja tenni a megfelelő jogi lépéseket ha visszakapom a befektetésem ha nem, mert ugyan Magyarországon sok ilyen szélhámos van, de ez már több a soknál, arról nem is beszélve, hogy más (brókerek) neve mögé bújva csinálja a csalásait!

2012 contracted for at the beginning of the Colonial Group's cheating Mercur al-specifically the AICB with td. Who was offered a very good friend of mine, so not really a company but his words mattered to me!
I do not put some money into the offshore company AICB Ltd, which is one of the directors of the Colonial Zoltan who made a present problem occurred.
In May 2012, the company officially kiértesített that the highway is closed and the collection will be launched on investment and a long silence and then I got an email that does not trigger any risk assessment of the company's investment. The offer presented official documents, of course, that's not true, so I asked the tőkémet back! It has been more than 1 month ago. Since then, approximately 4-5 letters (which includes a fully hitting each other) from Group I Mercur (never got so much), which is binding on me as an investor and things cost more.
2 weeks ago I informed my lawyer about what happened and you found all shocked!
Zoltan the one-owner colonial everywhere! Volksbank Hungary pénzgyűjtésben assisting him in because of the review of contracts in English law is proficient lawyer said that he did not perform perfectly legal!
Now refers to a company Mercur Holding Group Limited, which ever one I signed no contract (of course this company, which already share capital 100 GBP) to act on its behalf. English is not behind any group or lawyer or anything else except his lawyer Dr. Veszprém. Barbarics who, of course, has to be the story zaftosabb unsecured securities to be registered and monitored against the colonial company.
My lawyer will take the appropriate legal action if I get my investment back if you do not, because, although many of these rogue in Hungary, but this is too much, not to mention that other (brokers) do a fraud hiding behind the name Sait!

I have recently met with Mr. Zoltan Gyarmathy the commercial representative of Mercur Holding Group Limited, incorporated in the UK. I was an advisor for one of my client who ask me to join him in a meeting in the Novotel Congress hotel in Budapest. After about 1 hour meeting we left Mr. Gyarmati and I told to my client that I will do some research because for me as 32 years experienced charter accountant ws something missing from Mr. Gyarmathy's knowladge. I was right I have find numerous individuals who been hunted by Mr. Gyarmathy. He only mentioned his UK company but I have found 2 hungarian , where one of them under liquidation and in the scam and fraud forums I also found a company called AICB Ltd which is an offshore company which seems like been used as a vihacle to scam people in Hungary and may even outside of the country. Anyhow I always had a good smell to find the people who don't tell the truth.
His investment sceam is a HIGH RISK one and do not remmended to anyone who has savings!
I wanted to report him into the relevant hungarian authorities but my client ask me to not to, however I cant see that someone will in the near future!
I recommed to everyone who came across to Mr. Gyarmathy and his crure and his companies to do your own compliance but check everything carefully...nothing as he says!
Good luck!

BVI registered companies are notoriously opaque, that is to say, difficult to discover who owns them or their financial standing and regulation is notoriously lax. If a company or bank says that it is BVI registered then it's one to avoid.

If someone offers you a dormant UK company and a BVI registered one to establish his credentials, then it means nothing. Both companies could be worthless and the one in BVI may be nothing to do with him.
