Update:

1. Edaims (ed-aims) is authorised by templeton trustees (UK company??) to reach out to the wine owners. (Saw a letter of authorisation starting from 8/aug/2018)

2. CWT -> Templeton -> Edaims -> us (my assumption)

3. Apparently got 3 batches of auction already (no info available???)

4. Will take 10 to 14 days for evaluation report. Not sure what is inside.

5. I am interested to sell my wine. If got more info about this auction please share.

Verdict:
- sounds too good to be true

 

[The_Davis]

btw anyone knows how to contact cwt to enquiry on the wines?

 

[Papyrus]

I think you will be able to find CWT's contact info online. I found it but am unable to paste the URL here for you. Somehow I am unable to include URLs in my post.

So are you intending to hit them up also?

 

[jimmyccb]

The_Davis , did you shared your IC with them ?

HI ,

I am one of the wine investors too. Have given my info to them , hope to receive their reply soon. If anyone manage to sell or take out the wine, do message me. I am not sure if this is another scam, hope not.

 

[thinthin1]

Recently got called (from UK) by a new group offering to sue AWI on investor behalf. No win, no fee basis. I'm super skeptical.

This one is a scam.

 

[The_Davis]

Actually I re read the initial email.

It says storage facility in Estonia... sounds fishy...

Btw no sound after 10 days.

[The_Davis]

At least they did not ask us for money , let give them some time. There shall be a lot of AWI investor.

 

[Rumboo]

Almost forgot all about this thread. After a couple of missed calls from them, no more sound for a couple of months. Lucky I never give them my i/c details.

 

[The_Davis]

Really so many scammers out there. With this I think will forever write off.

 

[thinthin1]

Anyone contract by RDS Pte Ltd ?

 

[rouletteking]

Anybody knows where is the storage location? mb go ssrr can collecxt wine hoho.

I got contacted by RDS last week (Dec 2021), during New Year period and went to meet them today (6th Jan, 2021) at office is S9, Serangoon North Ave.

Over the phone, their offer is very tempting. They earn nothing until we collected all the money from the sale. They will help us recover and move your wines from CWT into their own chilled storage (at a one time cost of either 5.5k or 11.5k depending on your portfolio size) and then, thru' their own sales network & platform, they will help us sell the entire portfolio for you.. All money transaction is direct from buyer to us. (They won't be handling).

ONLY after the entire portfolio is sold and after we received all the money from buyer, we pay them, for
1) the service fee to withdraw from CWT ( 5.5k or 11.5k)
2) 10%(platform fee) +
3) 2%(Agent fee).

However, they needed some paperwork from me which is missing - Storage Delivery Order and Cargo Clearance Form. Does has anyone have any such document from AWI after our purchase (cuz I personally has never seen one)?

I told them that I have never seen such forms and they offerd help to do a search on those missing docs but will need to pay a refundable deposit of about $5,500. Saying this is to protect them, in case I change my mind decide not to engage them after they start work.

This is when things sounded fishy to me, will they just collect this $5,500 and then dissappear? Did they fabricate these 2 - Storage Delivery order form and Cargo Clearance form, knowing that I will definitely do not have them, in order to scam me into paying the deposit?

Anyone in the same shoe ... let's exchange notes here

Edaims contacted me back in Aug 2020 and we met up.
I never receive any valuation report nor hear from them after the initial meeting, so I tried to call them back... and none of their numbers are valid anymore.. another fly by night company!!

As a AWI investor, I also have not seen any Storage Delivery order form and Cargo Clearance form before.
Btw RDS have also contacted me for a meeting, hope they will not use the same tactic on me.
