Comments: The Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) warns consumers not to respond to offers from Direct-Traders. This company is a suspected boiler room. Direct-Traders has approached persons without being asked, to offer them investment pro posals . A boiler room is a collective term for fraudulent individuals and organizations using clever salespeople to call potential investors to pressure them into buying shares that promise high returns (cold calling). In reality the shares are either worthless or non-existent. The AFM has established that Direct-Traders does not have an AFM license or a European Passport.
