37.What
can be dangerous for an IBC company buyer?
This is a quite open question and has an open
answer. Firstly you have to choose a registered agent for the
company registration as you can do this your selves. They could sell
you a company that already has others owners. Theoretically you
could end up with only just "documents" of a non existing
company. You are also risk to loose the money deposited in the bank
account. This is the most usual fraud in this business. An
instruction is send to the bank to transfer all the money to account
X and you know nothing about it. You can avoid this if you follow
the recommendations. Another kind of fraud : your offered to
open an account in a world first class bank and they change the
documents and you end up with an account in an offshore bank. After
this they just have to expect the time that a significant amount of
money is accumulated in the account. During negotiations with the
registrators you must carefully check every expense. You must
also have a plan of working through an offshore company so you could
check if the offered company (jurisdiction) will allow you to make
your business according to your planning. You must know that there
is no guarantee from the fraud.
