Avoid Yang, Odell & Kostner

I was contacted by a telesales agent, who sounded believable and knowledgeable and I was convinced to take some risk on the US stock market. Over the period of about a year the company managed to convince me to invest and, according to my account on their website (back when it was accessible), I was in a favourable financial position. As with the other review, when I tried to realise some of the profits this is when it became evident that the whole company appears to be a scam. The most striking thing is that they would never send me any written answers to my queries. They would always call and have verbal conversations, coming up with all manner of reasons as to why I could not sell some stocks and realise my investments. From telling me that I needed to first settle some "corporate assistance" for a purchase, to suddenly finding out that I had warrants attached to the sale of some shares, to being a "family business" needing to deduct percentages for early termination of relationship. None of which is recorded anywhere in any documentation or on their website.

I won't go into much further detail suffice to say that now my anti-virus even refuses to open their website. My main complaint is that they would not share with me a comprehensive statement of account and to this day they have kept my money.

I urge anyone reading this review not to deal with anyone connected to the "company" calling themselves Yang, Odell & Kostner. They have a variety of artists who call you, all with differing UK-based accents and who answer to names such as, Nathan Porter, Peter Jenkins, Scott Mathieson.

If the company had any integrity whatsoever, they would work extremely hard to satisfy their customer and grow the relationship based on mutual ethics, however this does not appear to be on their list of priorities. I too am in the process of further investigation
