It has come to the attention of the WV State Bar that an organization claiming to provide oil & gas services and has assets that are located in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio has contacted multiple attorneys while attempting to commit fraud. After investigating the company, the state they claimed to conduct business out of has no record on the Secretary of State’s website for registered businesses, also no record was found on the Better Business Bureau’s website. Finally, a lookup of the domain shows the specific name of the website was purchased and created less than 6 months ago.
The matter has been referred to the FBI by another party, but a warning was deemed appropriate to prevent any further cases of fraud from affecting our members.
