i have not gotten any information from any of these people. i contact one a long time ago when one of these people connect some one else never hear them. i was never going sent them any thing.. but, i bought my stock through my regular and it all way been in my account. if you bought your stock on phone, you may have been sent up as mark to steal your stock. the woods are full of people who have not more to do than to think how to steal your money. i never do send my stock in mail to any one .if i had stock in my hands, i take it to my broker for safe keeping. years ago, i used get my stock sent to me and i put it in safe deposit box. now i put it all in my broker account and become street name person. when my cousin went to work at major brokerage house. i got all my stock and put it in account to help him. i buy stock from another broker firm now. he to high for me.

They are all Scams, very well orchestrated, this companies have obtained information of 1000's of investors from Europe, they are offering asking for a recertification fee to buy back your stock, once they do so they promise to give you huge returns but that is the last you hear from them

Ashley Partners ( www.ashleypartners.com) they claim to be advisers of mergers and acquisitions and they tell investors they are certified by ( www.iscd.us) International Shareholders Compliance Department, well guess what this website looks like a government owned website but it is also a master piece of the scam. Re-assuring that a government agency endorses their company activities increases confidence in the investor and they end up losing money to another international scam operation.

I fortunately was not scammed but a close client of mine was, he is in his mid 80's and thought he would make the investment of his life and leave a golden pot for his daughters and grandchildren. It turns out they are a complete scam, he has lost close to $250,000.00 and the stock he owned.

Investment scams are everyday more and more organized and hard to deceive. I suggest look for reputable press publications, confirm the management of the company, always contact the banking commission and call your embassy to verify companies before you plan to get rich overnight. If it sounds too good to be true then most likely is a scam. Their are very few Microsoft type opportunities out there, dont get scammed and share your experience to help others combat this international criminals that should be tortured to death for taking advantage of other peoples wealth.

LOL, you guys sound like virgin brides on their honeymoon. I don't know how to put it clearer: YOU'RE BEING SCAMMED-AGAIN! NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE pays $5-10 for stock trading at a dime (at least until recently). The upfront fees should be a major clue.
If the hold period is up, the "restricted" legend should be very easy to remove through the company transfer agent, if they do 144 registrations - and they should. You have to send in your cert, fill out some short forms, and all MSRM has to do is forward an opinion letter or a waiver of the opinion letter. It should cost about $75-125 ($50 for the service, $25 for a new cert, $25-50 for overnight delivery, depending where you live). CALL the transfer agent BEFORE you do anything. If no opinion letter exists (which I doubt), you might be charged several hundred dollars to get one.
If this fails, you might want to try these guys:
