Actual Case of how scammers target companies seeking business in Libya

1. Posing as Swiss trading company, International Trading and Business Investments (ITI), they seek out foreign companies... in this case: aviation and construction, offering exclusive piece of developing Libya business and infrastructure expansion.

2. They present credentials which initially check out and assure the foreign company about personal inside support from Saif, son of #1 Leader in Libya, their close friend and frequent visitor.

3. They set-up joint venture between foreign company and Libya citizen, to comply with “new Libyan law” and promise to provide capital to fund joint venture.

4. After signing, they cancel joint venture saying they found better deal by taking over existing Libyan company... Taken over by adding their own money to Libyan company’s capital, which required all of their existing funds.

5. To stay in deal, they need foreign company to pay hundreds of thousands in “expenses” in order to re-register Libyan company and if the foreign company will support them, they will share ownership and earnings from Libyan company.

6. Once Libyan company “re-registered,” they promise to repay “expenses” to foreign company along with premium of double or more from millions of capital already invested in Libyan company - but tied up until Libyan company re-registered.

7. After foreign company pays “expenses”, they are not “in position” to repay all or most of the principal and no premium, then they tell foreign company that repayment of “expenses” and premium must come through earnings of Libyan company.

8. They keep “expenses” and begin long period of delays and false promises about starting business of Libyan company, which never happens as documents provided to foreign company about Libyan company are exposed as forgeries and fraudulent -- See below.
