Phantom shares can be pulled out of thin air to trade but producing them is another issue since they do not actually exist. If you are asking if you could have been sold shares that do "NOT" exist, absolutely. Is this a company issue ? Not at all. The company authorized the number of shares that can be "Legally" traded and the phantom shares used to take the company down are just created to dilute the PPS of the company by those who driven by greed destroy American companies. What is your next step ? Can your broker produce your certificates ? That is the Million Dollar question. Seems that some can and some can't.
