Global Security Group, Inc. was recently retained to provide on the ground security for American and European investors involved in the purchase of gold in West Africa and to conduct a due diligence investigation on the sellers. The investors had put a number of safeguards in place during the negotiations with the sellers and expressed a high level of confidence that the transaction was a legitimate one. GSG operatives, working in conjunction with local authorities, determined that the entire deal was an elaborate scam and disrupted the scheme without injury to our clients. GSG is currently working with local authorities to prosecute the parties involved.

As investors and financial institutions seek alternate forms of investment during these turbulent economic times they are often turning to opportunities in the developing world. Many of these “opportunities” are compelling; offering a substantial return on investment in a relatively short period of time. However, they require the investors to operate in unfamiliar territory in parts of the world with real risk to financial and personal safety. Businesses require both protective and investigative support to mitigate those risks.

Global Security Group, Inc. is a firm with the ability to provide service in virtually any part of the world, including the developing nations of Africa, South America and Asia. For further information please call us at 212-285-2400 or email info@globalsecuritygroup.com.
