This is the right start. Fraudsters usually have an exit plan in mind, and I have often seen scams with the same company names. They can register companies with the same names for completely different people or register a company that will be similar in its activities to a decent company. And in such cases, the chances of getting the money back are zero.
The laws in registering a company are so shit that you can even register a company in a few countries without even being in that country. I saw a few YouTube videos on how scammers, money launderers, and even politicians can
open up a company in the UK without physically being in that country. This news was alarming to me as many Indian businessmen who could not repay the debt of banks have left India for the UK. If this is common in a first world country then imagine how a third world country works. In my country to form a company it takes more than 2 months and then bribing is still common if we need to expedite the process.
In my country it is also possible to open a company without the presence of the applicant, but this will require a notarized power of attorney, and the person must issue a power of attorney in my country.
In this case, I have not yet understood who owned the real estate, but it seems to me that the company Platform Ltd, which is registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines, did not own anything, but only received money.
