FoggontheTyne, looks like something similar jumped off on this side of the Pond. It took a little digging, but I found the first Shareholder alert that used to be on the GBRC site.
STOCKHOLDER ALERT
Mobilestream’s Management has been advised by a number of the shareholders that they have
received solicitations from a “Phoenix Acquisitions”, with a Houston, Texas address, for the
purchase of their Mobilestream shares. Management did not, and absolutely does not, authorize,
sanction, or endorse this solicitation. It has been noted that although this is supposedly an offer to
purchase the shares:
1. Phoenix requires that the selling shareholder first pay Phoenix a substantial fee; and
2. Phoenix can “waive” the requirement that it deposit the funds to buy the shares.
Mobilestream’s Management has no information on who or what Phoenix Acquisitions is, has no
information about the principals of Phoenix Acquisitions, has no information about how Phoenix
arrived at the supposed price it may pay, has no information on whether Phoenix Acquisitions has
the funds with which to buy the stock, and has no information on on how Phoenix obtained the
names and addresses of our shareholders.
Mobilestream’s Management recommends that until, and unless, you receive adequate,
satisfactory information about Phoenix, its principals, its ability to actually pay for the stock, and
other important details about this solicitation, you do not participate. Mobilestream’s
Management has notified the Securities and Exchange Commission about this situation.
