I have received similar offers from:
Gemini = $5 a share and $16,000 fee
Ashley partners for $9.25 a share, who never confirmed the fee
believe it will be similar to Gemini, 10% of their purchase price.
The more they offer the higher the fee.
This fee, I was told, is for 2 things:
For removing the share restrictions:
I have found quotes on the internet at £150 from a UK company and $150 from various USA, Canadian companies for removing restriction under with Rule 144K (for stock owned for 2 years). Double that for stock only 1 year old (rule 144).
Or just try and process it yourself through Mobilestream's stock transfer agents who I think is Manhattan transfer (Can download the form from many places)..
Also for Validation, to make sure you are not a suspected or known criminal or terrorist.
This just sounds wrong.
Also said (Gemini in writing) the fee would all be repaid in my final settlement price.
I’m waiting for somebody else to go first……
