SCI assists Interpol in money laundering investigation of American Independent Capital Group

Jan. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- BEIJING - At a press conference today SCI Chief Investigator Carl Catrone announced that Scam Patrol International has agreed to turn their investigative files over to Interpol to assist in their investigation of American Independent Capital Group of Beijing, Nevada, and Panama which is now accused of swindling over $5 million in up-front fees from dozens of victims who are lured by phony press releases issued by Arnold and AICG. Catrone confirmed that three Interpol investigators arrived in Beijing yesterday who met with Catrone and an FBI agent this morning before the press conference.

"We are now urging any victims of AICG and or Sam Arnold to come forward in complete confidence with your horror story" announced Catrone who the showed the wanted posters for Sam and Linda Arnold which can also be found at:

SCI spent over 8 months investigating the Arnolds and AICG in China as they moved from one executive suite office to another and utilized over 30 different telephone numbers in just one year. "We tracked down former AICG employees who then identified dozens of victims for us" explained Catrone.  Much of the criminal history of AICG and Sam Arnold can be found at fraudwatchers.org and RipOffReport.com.

We hope that within the next two weeks, Arnold and his Beijing bandits will be arrested and brought to justice. In the interim, SCI has issued a PUBLIC FRAUD ALERT to anyone in need of a business loan or financing to be weary of AICG, Sam Arnold, John Vickers, Li Dong Ling, or any other AICG broker.  "AICG has not funded any party that can be independently verified" explained Catrone who claims AICG has one of the most appealing and sophisticated funding scams ever seen by SCI.
