Description

I have never had any stock issued in my name. Never traded nor have any interest in stock. An account was opened in my name for one share of stock valued at $2.16. I called the company and they refused to follow-up further as I wanted to report this account as fraudulent and completely close it. I was on the phone for almost 60 minutes, transferred three times and a woman said that they will investigate this claim. I explicitly expressed my desire to have this account marked as fraudulent and to have it closed immediately.
