Hi there,

I recently had the worst experience someone just can have with a service. I ordered the bank account opening service for 1400 euro.
They promised to contact me within 24 hours to start the process. I was calling them every day for 5 days till my "account manager" responded. When he responded to me he was emailing me literally one meaning or once with one word answers. For example i asked him to send me a list of options where we can open the account at and requirements. He answered "Great, Regards Yves"

It has been a month of struggle talking to them and they still didn't review all the documents that i sent them. I finally got enough and asked for refund but not they refuse.

Have any of you had contact with SFM-Offshore? What do you think about them?

SFM Offshore is a scam. I believe there are some threads where they are mentioned on this forum. Maybe it is a good idea to create & maintain a list of trustworthy formation agents on this forum?

+1 would be good to keep a shitlist of offshore suppliers to stop people getting ripped off. @Alex4Days did you pay via debit or credit card? Paypal?

yes, a black list of suppliers would work better. Else any supplier would promote their own business on the list.

@Admin would this be possible adding a blacklist of suppliers to avoid and to stop competitors trying to screw over others have some proof sent to a mod before they make the blacklist.

@Alex4Days

Sorry to hear but unfortunately we spoke about them in a previous post. They are well known as scam. They may send you back your money after a while less enormous fees of cancellation.

I confirm, I had a HK company with them and asked a huge renewal fee for the second year, not announced at the beginning ofc.
they also have full control on your money as they use the worst banks which do not respect documents/PoA/etc.

Breder in NZ, then even if the bank has some of your docs, they do not recognize you when you need to cashout.. because of SFM offshore blocking the funds.
I am not talking about the fees

Why would you not merge the two threads inside the mentor group to have this scam company's information in one thread @Admin?

i wont say they are scammers. they just offer very bad support similar to Turner Little. Just SFM Offshore is very cheap. So to just get quick company documents they are sufficient. All rest is simply garbage

I was scammed 2500 euros by SFM offshore 3 years ago. I ordered a seychelles companies. They started to pretend that two signatures on two of the papers were different. Then they sent me a paper to confirm that I changed my signatures.
However, the two signatures were almost the same. I didn't get a refund and the seychelles company was not delivered.

Sure,
I had three clients who came to after being scammed .

Each time they will find reason which document is missing, and after two weeks they will say the company is being in formation etc

You will not receive your money back, ever
