Action: "You have to make a move during next two days!"
Ahh! I could see that one coming a long way. It was all too good to be true. Or was it? We hung up and agreed that he'd send me an email with his contact details, company introduction leaflet and call me the next day. I went online and did some research and found out about CTIX and that its legit and has promising products coming up. You can do it as well, information is available at Cellceutix Corporation website (pops up in new window) right there.
A little about me. I awakened online before the age of WWW. In Internet time, I am an ancient. I've sent my first emails around year 1993 or -94. I've seen some websites in my life and built quite a few as well, and when I went to WG website, my internal systems signalled yellow alert. It means I sense with my nerdsense that something is wrong with the site. I trust my nerdsense.
Guided by this intuiotion I went to LinkedIn and contacted a private banker in Luxembourg I know and have met and had connected just a short while before this WG incident. I asked mr. Väänänen if he's ever heard about this WG company or the broker who called me and he said he'd do some research. A moment later he told me that their company has blocked access to WG which is not highly unusual but raises a few suspicions.
He also told me about few other so called red flags that he had found regarding this WG and that he'd personally be very careful with them, though he did think that the company might very well be legit. They do have address at their website for Paris and Tokyo offices, phone numbers and fax numbers and contact forms etc.
Meanwhile I received an email from WG. Sender email address was "admin@..." which is quite unprofessional, if I may say so, especially when signed personally by the person I talked with in the phone. Is this his personal address? Anyway, I tried to find the WG representative online, but I couldn't. I couldn't find any Westward Group workers from LinkedIn either. Very unusual that a 36 years old financial industry worker isn't in LI!

However I did discover some interesting things about WG website. Its being linked back from several sourced including but not limited to LinkedIn (opens a popup to WG's LinkedIn company page) - Now this is the crappiest excuse for a LinkedIn page I've ever seen. Unreal. This page has but one purpose: To link back to WG's website.
This enraged my nerdsense and I went on a searchspree - Here's a link to Google (popup opens Google search to show what WG is up to) so you too can see what I've seen. Internet is full of their mock up pages linking back to their site! Why does it matter, you may think. Let me elaborate quickly:
What this does is that it makes Google robots think that the site being linked is really important since everyone's talking about it and linking back to it. Big-G doesn't have time to read everything with slow and puny human eyes, so they scout web with programs that sort out text, images and links automatically about trillion times faster than any human could. But they're programs and thus can be exploited. This is what I wrote about in the first post of this series, about their website mechanics. But hey, it works. WG is the first result in Google when you search for WG's name. Google thinks its really relevant. You can guess why I don't write their company name and don't link to their website now.
Here ends the fourth part of this post. Fifth part will be online during friday 29th nov. 2013.
