US Petroleum Holdings - is it a scam?
Nearly three months ago I posted concerns about calls I received concerning investment in US Petroleum Holdings. The calls were very theatrical and raised alarm bells with me.
I am amazed that considering the varied nature of the posts that I make here, Google Analytics tells me that 50% of my visitors find their way here searching for more information about US Petroleum Holdings than any other topic featured here, exceeding even my primary hobby of my Food with Passion website by a factor of two.
IF I HAVE HELPED YOU avoid making an investment that you might regret, I would be delighted if you would stop to make a comment - by making a comment, you will help to raise search engine profile for my articles and help prevent someone else from making an ill-informed choice. So..... if I confirmed your unease and you decided not to invest, please don't just walk away from here .... leave details of your experience and help someone else make up their mind based upon your own experience.

Someone called ?Vaun Luke from US Petroleum Holdings made numerous calls to our house. My husband spoke to him at length, playing with him really!! He was a very pushy person with an unpleasant manner. When my husband asked why he would invest money with someone he didn't know and that he would obviously need to 'investigate' his claims, Mr Luke told my husband not to listen to anyone else, including family!! Noone legistimate would speak that way. I'm sure it was a scam. Would be pleased to know if I was right.

I am sure that you were right - US Petroleum Holdigs is very suspicious to me - their 'public'iformation is hidden behind membership. As far as I am concerned, if US Petrolum Holdings were legitimate, then all their information would be on full display.
When I got the call from the company representing US Petroleum Holdings, the caller got everyone to respond to 'David thinks we are a scam' by calling "No!!" and banging on desks to try and simulate trading desk noise.
Good for your husband for calling time on US Petroleum Holdings. They tried to REALLY annoy me by calling me back again and again and I had none of it.
The truth is that if you ever want to buy anything, you always have the opportunity to research and call a potential supplier yourself.
My argument with everyone (US Petroleum Holdings or anyone else) is that if I want to buy something, then I will initiate it, not a Third-Party.
Thanks for you feedback. I hope that you are now very alert to scams like this one appears to be.

Sure it was a scam.
Why wouldanyone feel the need to tell you to ignore everyone else?
If it was legitimate, then all the claims would stand up to scrutiny.

I am sorry to hear of this - I don't know where you go now. I guess that if this happened/originated in the UK you could go to the Financial Regulators, but from the stories I have seen, these 'brokers'representing US Petroleum Holdings move locations, because all they need is a phone and a PC.
First point of call might be to contact these brohkers representing US Petroleum Holdings (if you can contact them) and ask how the shares can be redeemed and see if there is a way out.
Maybe the DTI could help work with international agencies to shut them down?
I can't even see how US Petroleum Holdings can be a legitimate company - the website looks just like a front for a scam with no information that stands up to scrutiny.
