BLACKMAIL SITES

Websites such as Dirtyscam, Ripofflist & ComplaintsBoard post damaging fake reviews about legitimate businesses. The legitimate business must then pay a company to remove the malicious reviews. Needless to say, the companies removing the reviews are part of the fraud. Dirtyscam has posted fake Agroforestry Group reviews. We will not give in to blackmail and have left removal to our lawyers.

PHISHING

Imitation plantation companies copy our successful business model and communiqués. These phishing techniques are used to gain legitimacy by mimicking our returns model, publishing blogs with our articles or developing similar websites with 'agroforestry' in the URL. Exercise caution with these plantation companies as some have no plantations whatsoever.

GLOBAL PLANTATIONS

Some frauds are easy to spot as the plantation company claims are too huge. They boast a multi-country/multi-product business. Large plantations do NOT look for investors buying 10 tree/shares/units.

BANKRUPTCY

Some plantation business failures are mistaken for deliberate fraud. In these situations the plantation management companies have not sold a sufficient quantity of trees/shares/units to maintain the plantation up until the first harvest. These business owners have not run off with investor funds, they have simply run out of funding to maintain the plantation. Agroforestry Group completed its first harvest this year. This means we now have an annual harvest income negating any bankruptcy fears. With Agroforestry Group you are in safe hands.
