Today, MLMSkeptic takes a deep dive into the Interwebs, to dig up who is the REAL "American Mining" (it's NOT USFIA), by looking at various corporate listings as well as news from Asia to prove that the name "American Mining" was stolen by USFIA.
USFIA which supposedly stands for US Fine Investment Arts, was known as 美洲礦業／美洲矿业 in Chinese, which translates to American Mining. Chinese Commercial Yellow Pages (CCYP) shows that they are the same:
Furthermore, when the scam was active in China, it used the same logo and Chinese name. This is primary rep Ho Peng at such a seminar in Macao. Ho Peng was arrested in China in June 2014 along with 21 other promoters of USFIA 美洲矿业 in China.
And just to confirm, this always has been USFIA's logo. This is the current rendition of the logo:
The address matches. This is indeed the USFIA in question. And this is a US Corporation registered in California by Steve Chen.
However, we do have a problem as there is already a 美洲礦業 in Shenzhen, China. As this is in China, the proper way to write it is 美洲矿业 (simplified Chinese).
And yes, they have a logo. This was from a talent wanted ad they posted earlier:
And this one is easy to verify via third party sources. Search for AA Mine Mexico brought up an official Mexican government listing of mining projects in Mexico with Foreign Capital:
Okay, sounds legitimate enough. Is there yet OTHER sources to prove this is the "real" 美洲矿业 , i.e America Mine Holding?
Absolutely!
Sure, how about a LinkedIn profile for their Chairman of the Board?
But wait, you said, anybody can type anything on LinkedIn. Is there something confirming THAT? Sure. Here's a press release from an official Chinese government website, confirming that Farin Lee Chairman, America Mine Holding, attended a convention in Hong Kong along with officials from this Ruichang City.
Thus it is confirmed that USFIA 美洲礦業 is a copycat flying another company America Mine Holding's Chinese name. But the name appropriation didn't stop there.
Previously we had explained that this "UCCA" used a Chinese name that is substantially similar to the Chinese Legislature. The Chinese name UCCA goes by is 中美政治协商促进会. The Chinese legislative body CPPCC is 中国人民政治协商会. They substituted 中国人民 (Chinese People) with
中美 (China America) and they added 促进 (promote) but the idea is UCCA wants to SOUND political and official, but their real name is:
It's not an agency, merely a 'consultant', and you notice they left out "liaison / consulting services" out of their own initials.
And finally... USFIA itself is not an original name. In fact, if you search for USFIA online, you'll find that USFIA is "US Fashion Industry Association".
In other words, EVERY ONE of the names involved has problems.
USFIA is redefining someone else's initials, and has NOTHING to do with mining as suggested in its Chinese name.
The Chinese name of USFIA, 美洲矿业, was a clone of a real company in Shenzhen, China.
UCCA conveniently left out a few words off their initials to sound far more official than it is.
UCCA's Chinese name 中美政治协商促进会 appears to be a soundalike of a Chinese legislative body 中国人民政治协商会.
Still think USFIA is legitimate? Think again.
