Recyclix scam - The Game of Ponzi continues



It's been a while since my last post about Recyclix. After the ponzi pyramid collapsed I thought there wouldn't be much to post about the scam anymore. Just closing credits and few words of advise to the victims from my behalf.

However, there has been some crazy statements and claims by the scammers lately, which made me come back to this issue.

The last post I had made about Recyclix was published 7th of May. What we had learned by then was that apparently there are two separated scammer groups or individuals bashing each other online now. 

The other one has access to control recyclix.com and the other one seems to control company's official Facebook page and an "official blog", which was set up after the collapse of the scam. Both sides blame each other for illegal actions, and they both claim to work hard for the members to get their funds back. - Yeah, right!

I repeat what I have stated before: Neither side should be trusted. Victims of this scam should contact police and file a crime report. 

Recyclix was a ponzi pyramid scam. The payments to the existing members were made from the money collected from new recruits as well as luring existing members to invest more money to the scam. The business was not about recycling plastic but recycling money to the top scammers.



Class action suit?


I'm aware about some members trying to work out a class action suit against Recyclix. However, I believe that proceeding through lawyers isn't the right way at this point. These are scammers we are talking about. They are not sitting still and waiting for the ponzi victims to approach them with lawyers. I bet the actual scammers have abandoned the company as soon as they saw the collapse coming. 

It is also possible that they have appointed some stooges as directors for the existing companies to take the blame.

I strongly doubt that an ultimatum from a law firm will do any good what comes to getting anyone's money back. The more time is spent, the more time is given for the fraudsters to cover their tracks.

But back to the scam soap...



The story continues...



The House of Crisis Team



The Crisis Team started posting messages 17th of April. Here's my blog post about the first letter.

On the contrary to the other team the leader of this crisis team reveals his name. However, I doubt that this " Yaroslav Mikhalsky" is a real person.

The crisis team controls the official Facebook page and the official blog. They have posted five times on their blog page about the proceedings of their "internal investigations". I'm not going through all that bullshit here, because there's no point taking seriously anything the scammers post.

However, let's check out some details about the latest post made 18th of May and titled "Latest News and Developments: Progress of Investigations and Current Events".

"Over the last several weeks we have been drawing up and preparing all necessary papers—claims, complaints, testimonies, and so on—for submission to the bodies of law enforcement and private companies in the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic concerning illegal activities of Dainis Vasiljevs and Igor Pshenychnyi. And we can already see the progress.


For example, we have received the answer from the Action Fraud, the UK National Fraud & Cyber Crime Reporting Centre, about the illegal acts of Dainis Vasiljevs who has stolen money of Recyclix members through BEPAY for embezzlement purposes. The case is currently being assessed, but please be sure to get acquainted with the letter from the Action Fraud over here."
- Yeah, right! I'm just guessing here, but Dainis Vasiljevs and Igor Pshenychnyi might be real persons. The reason behind giving their names might be just to divert the victims of Recyclix.

I don't know what the referred letter to the Action Fraud has to do with this case. There are some details covered with a black box on the letter. 


Removing the black boxes with some computer voodoo tricks reveals a name of a law firm and apparently one of its lawyers, Marina Williamson. Sterling Lawyers seems to be a law firm located in the U.K. It is not clear if the letter has anything to do with Recyclix scam.





The House of Recyclix.com


3rd of May Recyclix.com came back alive and started posting statements on a message window. The user accounts in Recyclix.com are not accessible. The fist message claimed by an anonymous writer that there was a new management in charge. The writer claims that the new management is working for the members to get their funds back.


"Actually, the company is managed by a structure that represents the new owners of the company and has nothing to do with the former management, with the exception of the company's debt obligations to new owners. Currently, a real trial and internal audit of the activities of Recyclix will be carried out. There are hopes that we will be able to restore the lost funds and / or the work of the company. 
We will inform you about important changes on this page. Visit the page daily and do not miss out on information. It is worth noting that the information published on alternative resources (eco-revolution, groups in social networks, etc.) comes from the previous management of the company and does not correspond to reality."


6th of May a new message was posted:
"The investigation gets first results. 
Cooperation has been established with the investigative bodies of the Russian Federation (in particular, the CSG of the RF in St. Petersburg), lawyers from Finland, Poland, the Czech Republic, and a private detective agency CBS. 
The next stage will be gathering information and preparing for a collective lawsuit. We are requesting all depositors to prepare all possible materials confirming the transfer of funds to the accounts of Recyclix. 
Recently started audit of the company showed that the previous management withdrew all the company's assets, bank accounts were also emptied. We are making all the best to return funds and assets."

9th of May a message was published intimidating the old management attached with pictures of the group members.




"An appeal to the former leadership of Recyclix. 
You have made certain contractual obligations to invest in your company and pay the agreed dividends. You stopped doing them. We call upon the former leadership of Recyclix, as promised, to contact us within 24 hours of the publication of this message. We want to appoint a time and place, sit down at the negotiating table and discuss options for returning investments to investors and ensuring the normal operation of the enterprise. All assets must be returned to the company. 
Otherwise, measures will be taken to disclose materials that were obtained as a result of an investigation by an independent detective agency. It is about information about cash flows on the company's account for the last 1.5 years, about beneficiaries, about investing in business, about the involved persons, bank account numbers, personal data, etc."



Conclusion


If there still are any Recyclix victims believing in the words of the scammers, you should ask yourselves the following questions:

- Why would any "new management" be interested in acquiring the remains of a company and its collapsed ponzi pyramid?
- Should you rely on the ponzi company to run their own "internal investigations"?

Just in case the blog of the Crisis Team vanishes, here is all the text from the site copy pasted:


MAY 18, 2017Latest News and Developments: Progress of Investigations and Current Events
Dear participants of Recyclix,
I would like to share with you some new facts about the illegal takeover of the company and crisis management program as well as to take my time to send a brief message to the intruders.
Following the publication of our message to the illegal intruders on May 9—whoever they may be—we haven’t yet received any kind of answer from them and saw neither their names nor contact details published anywhere. We would like to ask these people to stop hiding and get in touch with us, better if it would be done publicly, so that we can arrange a meeting at our office in Riga, Latvia.
And whilst we are waiting for the answer from the intruders, we would like to tell you about new developments in the situation with the illegal takeover and show you some documents that were presented to the law enforcement agencies as the evidence of money embezzlement and unlawful takeover.
Over the last several weeks we have been drawing up and preparing all necessary papers—claims, complaints, testimonies, and so on—for submission to the bodies of law enforcement and private companies in the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic concerning illegal activities of Dainis Vasiljevs and Igor Pshenychnyi. And we can already see the progress.
For example, we have received the answer from the Action Fraud, the UK National Fraud & Cyber Crime Reporting Centre, about the illegal acts of Dainis Vasiljevs who has stolen money of Recyclix members through BEPAY for embezzlement purposes. The case is currently being assessed, but please be sure to get acquainted with the letter from the Action Fraud over here.
A public notary who signed the forged general power of attorney has given his consent to cancel the validity of the document after a visit by Recyclix’s director, Alexander Suranovas. Therefore, we expect to recover access to the original website of the company in the shortest possible term.
Apart from it, we are publishing this payment order confirmation — proving the existence of the transaction in the amount of €840,000 from the BEPAY account in Czech CSOB bank to the account of a certain Aleksin Kauppahuone OY in the Finnish department of Nordea bank—and we are demanding the evildoers to provide answers and explications on account of this image.
Also, we would like to let you know that Alexander Sivaks, one of the founders of Eco Green Line SIA entity we mentioned in our internal investigation, was questioned by a criminal investigator on May 10 in Riga concerning the origin and current whereabouts of the funds that he received for alleged construction of new recycling plants. Since questionings of shareholders of the group of companies that Recyclix was composed of will continue, we expect that the persons who are currently managing Eco Green Line SIA would try to declare the entity bankrupt in order to withdraw from the responsibility.
The case of Igor Pshenychnyi and his partners in crime is currently tackled by the Czech Republic police and later on this week we expect to receive new information from the Czech law enforcement agencies about the progress of the case and the whereabouts of the money stolen via BEPAY. As soon as such information has been provided to us, we will share it with you with pleasure.
Personally we believe that the pressure applied to the group of illegal intruders—who have not even revealed their names yet—by the police will make them disappear as quickly as they appeared.
When it comes to the implementation of the crisis management program, we would like to advise you beforehand that there may be certain delays in the first phase of compensation provision process due to a class action lawsuit currently prepared against the company. In case if the lawsuit will be pursued and won, the court and only the court will decide the process, amount, and deadlines for the compensation provision program via selling off of all assets and property of the company.
Currently a group of highly experienced lawyers in Poland, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, and Latvia are working for our team and will continue to do so for over a year in order to help the company through this chaotic period of time. We are willing to take our time and collaborate with judicial bodies and law enforcement agencies in order to ensure seamless implementation of the compensation provision process.
In the coming days and weeks Gabriel, who we think is the originator of a series of offences and attacks against the company, will probably try to abscond and avoid any contact with the law enforcement bodies because he is involved in commitment of several crimes at the same time.
Firstly, he tried to illegally take over BEPAY company, which can be proven using a document at our disposal. Secondly, he laundered funds transferred from Recyclix to fly-by-night companies. Thirdly, he illegally took over Recyclix and its domain and website.
On top of that, he partnered with Sergey Vasiljevs during the takeover of BEPAY and hired members of the criminal community in Prague, a group operated by Karen K*****n and Ramzan “Prazhskij”, so that they would blackmail and intimidate the old management team of Recyclix who refused to fulfil his demands that were against the law.
As a finishing touch to this newsletter, I would like to state that the persons who act on behalf of Gabriel are losing their time. Their attempts of blackmailing and intimidating will fail and Gabriel will receive neither any moral pleasure out of this confusion nor the money that he is after.
We would like to strongly recommend you not to provide your personal data to anyone who may be illegally taking actions on behalf of Recyclix or BEPAY if not explicitly stated otherwise on ecorevolution.com or the official Facebook page of the company. Also, please be sure not to take seriously any information about Recyclix unless it’s published on the official mirror website, ecorevolution.com, or in the official Facebook group of the company.
Remember that you can use ecorevolution.com website in order to login to your Recyclix account if you would like to access any information located in your member’s area, making sure that your earnings are safe.
Until the official Recyclix website page is recovered from the team of illegal intruders, updates about the progress of the crisis management plan, company fiscal and property audit, governmental investigation, and legal cases will be published by our team members via the official mirror of the Recyclix website and its Facebook page in English.
Yours sincerely,
Recyclix Crisis Management Team
Yaroslav MikhalskyPOSTED ONMAY 9, 2017Official Message to the Illegal Intruders from the Recyclix Crisis Management Team

In this message I would like to address the group of illegal intruders, whoever they may be, and tell them my thoughts and opinion about this unlawful action in a public way.
Private detectives hired by our team already tried to locate and contact Igor Pshenychnyi, who is officially wanted by the police in Czech Republic for a car theft, but so far it was not possible to detect this individual because he is apparently hiding.
My message to the group of illegal intruders will be brief. Firstly, I am asking you to publicly present yourselves to the participants of Recyclix and our team and explain, in detail and publicly as well as with provision of evidence and proofs, on what grounds you should be considered the true new management team of Recyclix.
Secondly, when it comes to the negotiations on the process of returning the funds, we are willing and eager to do this, but only in a legal and public manner through our lawyers.
Therefore, I am asking you to publish the contacts of your team of lawyers, as well as any other contacts that we may use to get in touch with you, on recyclix.com website.
And I would to repeat it once more. From now on all communications between our team and you, whoever you may be, shall be carried out in a public way.


Sincerely,
Recyclix Crisis Management Team
Yaroslav MikhalskyPOSTED ONMAY 6, 2017Announcement of the Internal Investigation and News on the Progress of the Crisis Management Program

Dear investors of Recyclix,
I am Yaroslav Mikhalsky, the chairman of the new management team of Recyclix, and in this crucially important message I would like to share with you the completed internal investigation into the the activities of Recyclix and the reasons behind the illegal takeover of the company as well as give you the latest details on commencement of the process of provision of the compensations.
However, before getting down to explaining in which way and when the compensations will be paid, I would like to cover the issue of the illegal takeover of Recyclix by Igor Pshenychnyi and the respective internal investigation into that matter that our team has prepared.
ON THE ILLEGAL TAKEOVER AND INTERNAL INVESTIGATION
As you have probably noticed, currently recyclix.com website cannot be accessed. This is associated with the illegal actions of the team of evildoers who—like we told you in the previous newsletter—have managed to forge the official documents and unlawfully get hold of the company.
Fortunately, we have succeeded to establish the identities of these individuals as well as reconstruct negligent actions of the old management team of the company and the events that led to this chaotic and unpleasant situation.
All important facts about the true story behind what was happening at Recyclix when it was managed by the old executive team are presented in the internal investigation that I would like to share with you.
PLEASE READ THE OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION OVER HERE
Remember that it’s very important to take your time to get familiar with this document in order to understand the current situation of the illegal takeover as well as to get ourselves prepared for a smooth and seamless process of the compensation provision.
Just like we promised in the latest update in the official Facebook page of the company, as a further evidence of the illegal takeover of the company we provide you with the originals of the forged unlimited power of attorney — featuring the names of lawyers who performed this illegal action—used to get hold of the company by Igor Pshenychnyi on behalf of the group of intruders uncovered in our investigation and the text of the legal claim against Igor Pshenychnyi on behalf of the director of Recyclix, Aleksandr Suranovas.
As soon as the claim has been successfully reviewed by the court, Aleksandr Suranovas will be reestablished as the director of Recyclix in order to pass the ownership of the company over to our team for completion of the crisis management program and payment of the compensations.
Also, we reckon that the group of people who illegally took over Recyclix are currently reading this newsletter. This is why we are asking them to make a public statement, disclose their identities—although this has already been allegedly done in our internal investigation—and communicate what they want to our team and the investors of Recyclix so that we would be able to resolve this situation in a lawful way and give the investors their funds back.
ON PROVISION OF THE COMPENSATIONS
As of now, the recycling process on all accounts has been stopped and in the following days you will see that all your waste, if available, will be sold. All your account earnings will be automatically combined into one withdrawal order—whilst if you have already had requested a payout earlier and it has not been made yet, it will be also added into the final withdrawal order—the ID of which will be later on sent over to the the crisis management center in order to put you in the queue for subsequent provision of the compensation.
We believe that, just like in case with the illegal takeover of the company on behalf of Ruslan Puksto by the same individuals, this time the legal process of getting the company back will not take much time and will not influence the dates of commencement of the first phase of the compensation provision announced earlier, which is June 2017.
In the previous newsletter we mentioned that a part of the funds meant for provision of the compensations is currently kept in Latvian Citadele bank. As you have found out from the internal investigation published above, these funds are now undergoing an official investigation by the Latvian police and will be released within 6 months. Once these funds have been released, they will be transferred to the crisis management center and will be used for the second phase of the compensation provision process.
We would like to strongly recommend you not to provide your personal data to anyone who may be illegally taking actions on behalf of Recyclix or BEPAY if not explicitly stated otherwise on ecorevolution.com or the official Facebook page of the company. Also, please be sure not to take seriously any information about Recyclix unless it’s published on the official mirror website, ecorevolution.com, or in the official Facebook group of the company.
Remember that you can use ecorevolution.com website in order to login to your Recyclix account if you would like to access any information located in your member’s area, making sure that your earnings are safe.
Until the official Recyclix website page is recovered from the team of illegal intruders, updates about the progress of the crisis management plan, company fiscal and property audit, governmental investigation, and legal cases will be published by our team members via the official mirror of the Recyclix website and its Facebook page in English.
Yours sincerely,
Recyclix Crisis Management Team
Yaroslav MikhalskyPOSTED ONMAY 4, 2017IMPORTANT RECYCLIX UPDATE

As you may have noticed, currently recyclix.com website is not available. This has to do with the illegal takeover of Recyclix by Igor Pshenychnyi, which we told you about in the previous newsletter we published on the official mirror of the company’s website, ecorevolution.com.
We would like to let you know that this situation will be dealt with in the near time in a lawful manner as we have already brought a legal action against the group of these illegal intruders.
The internal investigation by our team that we mentioned earlier has already been completed and we managed to gather and establish the important facts about the illegal takeover, individuals behind it, and what exactly caused it.
The internal investigation and several positive news about the progress of the crisis management program-as well as the originals of official documents such as the legal action against the evildoers, forged papers used to carry out the illegal takeover, and more—will be published in our newsletter on ecorevolution.com later on this week.
In the meantime, we strongly recommend you not to take seriously any information about Recyclix unless it’s published on the official mirror website, ecorevolution.com, or in this Facebook group.
Remember that you can use ecorevolution.com website in order to login to your Recyclix account if you would like to access any information located in your member’s area, making sure that your earnings are safe.POSTED ONAPRIL 17, 2017MEET THE NEW RECYCLIX MANAGEMENT TEAM: MESSAGE TO PARTICIPANTS

Dear investors of Recyclix,
My name is Yaroslav Mikhalsky and I will serve as the chairman of the new management team of Recyclix and together with my colleagues we will be handling the crisis management program and ensuring that this procedure is performed in an inclusive and efficient way.
As you might have seen it in the latest update post on Facebook, we already announced the approximate dates when provision of compensations to the Recyclix participants will commence. For those users who haven’t had an opportunity to get familiar with the post, I would like to repeat that it’s estimated that the process of provision of compensations would start in June, whilst from now on all news on the progress of the crisis management plan and current events will be published by our team members on Recyclix’s website and its official Facebook page in English.ON CRISIS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
My colleagues and I believe that transparency and clarity are crucial when it comes to achieving any goal in a big company—especially if it has to do with management of funds—and this is why now I would like to tell you more about the crisis management plan that Recyclix will launch in the nearest future.
All compensations will be paid through a special crisis management center that will be opened in the short term. Funds for provision of compensations were already partially allocated and as soon as the crisis management center have been opened and our team has finished the thorough fiscal and property audit of the company, the process of the compensation provision will be started.
For purposes of enhanced transparency an oversight committee consisting of members of Recyclix themselves will be formed. We will be informing you the progress of the crisis management program in the next newsletters as well as on the official Facebook page of Recyclix.ON CURRENT EVENTS
There’s another important thing that I would like to let you know about in this newsletter as our team has found a couple of strange things about Recyclix following the commencement of the company’s fiscal and property audit.
You may have heard about the issue with Ruslan Puksto who tried to illegally take over the company by forging the official documents back in January 2017. Unfortunately, it turns out that a similar situation took place once again on March 23 due to unknown reasons, most probably by the way of forging the official documents too, and currently Recyclix is being illegally controlled by a certain Igor Pshenychnyi. You can review the official legal information about the company over here.
For enhanced safety the funds allocated for provision of compensations were stored in Latvian Citadele bank as well as on the accounts of BEPAY company. However, last week a large payment has been made to a Finnish branch of Nordea bank without consent of BEPAY management board.
Nordea bank has been already contacted about it, but we still haven’t received either definite answers or solutions to this problem. This is why we would like to kindly ask all of you who made payments to Recyclix via BEPAY company to get in touch with Nordea bank using this complaint letter template COMPLAINT LETTER TEMPLATE at tradefinance.helsinki@nordea.com and demand for a financial fraud investigation to be carried out.
Aleksin Kauppahuone OYIBAN: FI8317453000088965BANK: NORDEA BANK FINLAND PLCSWIFT: NDEAFIHHTEL: Calls from abroad ‎+358 200 70 000 (international call charge)
And though upon arrival at Recyclix our team was not expecting such difficulties to arise, all necessary documents for the commencement of an official investigation have been already handed over to the law enforcement authorities. A very similar case—an illegal takeover of the company that happened back in January—was solved in a rapid way thanks to the hard work of investigating officers.
We would like to let you know that these investigations should not affect the estimated dates of the commencement of the compensation provision plan announced earlier, especially if as many of you as possible will contact Nordea bank and ask them to launch an investigation into the unlawful financial transaction from BEPAY company to their bank.
Apart from this, the initial phase of the company’s fiscal and property audit has shown that the previous management board of Recyclix tried to cover embezzlement incidents by some of its members. Our team has already launched a special internal investigation into such facts of misappropriation of funds by the old management team.
At this point I would like to bring this newsletter to a conclusion and let you know that it will be a pleasure to work with all you in the following months to ensure a seamless process of provision of the corresponding compensations.
Please make sure to contribute to the efficiency of the compensation provision procedure by contacting Nordea bank using the complaint form above in case you made payments to Recyclix via BEPAY.
Remember that updates about the progress of the crisis management plan as well as the governmental and internal investigations will be published by our team members via the official Recyclix website and its Facebook page in English.
Yours sincerely,Recyclix Crisis Management TeamYaroslav Mikhalsky
