International Claims Commission [email protected]

International Claims Commission at http://www.icc-us.org

OFFICE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS COMMISSION (ICC) has lead responsibility for pursuing and defending an ever-changing array of claims under international law brought by investors against foreign brokerage firms and by foreign nationals and governments. These claims most often relate to the expropriation of securities and investment disputes, but also encompass investment fraud, misallocation of funds and other financial related claims. The Office of ICC also develops claims resolution processes to assist efforts to resolve disputes between third countries and nationals and negotiates claims settlements.

Under international law and practice ICC does not formally espouse claims on behalf of victims unless the claimant can provide persuasive evidence demonstrating that certain prerequisites have been met. The most important of these requirements are that the claimant was at the time the claim arose and remains a foreigner, that all local remedies have been exhausted or the claimant has demonstrated that attempting to do so would be futile, and that the claim involves an act by the foreign government that is considered wrongful under international law.

Foreign nationals who wish to request the assistance of the ICC in pursuing a claim against a brokerage firm, and who can meet the requirements described above, may submit their request along with supporting information to [email protected].

Claimants are requested to provide a translation of any documents submitted that are not in English.

Investment Scams, Broker Fraud, & Viatical Settlement Fraud Claims
Viatical settlements are a risky investment that allows a person to invest in another person's life insurance policy. With a viatical settlement, a person can purchase the policy (or part of it) of another person at a price that is less than the death benefit of the policy. When the seller dies, the investor collects the death benefit. In theory this type of investment can help the insured and the investor, however, this type of investment is used commonly for investment scams and are often misrepresented as low risk and humanitarian.

Just in case anyone is thinking that sites like US Federal System at http://usfederalsystem.com and this one - plus all the others that have "cold caller" lists - are actually high-minded sites giving advice and warnings to investors, I should point out that their "cold caller" lists are just tiny subsets of real warn lists. I wonder which companies have been omitted.
