Complaint:
On XXXX I was contacted by XXXX XXXX representing the XXXX Asset and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXoncerning the inheritance of about {$700000.00} as a result of the XXXX death of XXXX XXXX XXXX about 2 years ago. XXXX XXXX XXXX died without a will. 

Since I could not go to XXXX I was informed I needed to hire their attorney XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX and Associates ( XXXX ). XXXX XXXX stated the cost would be {$5900.00} for the completion of the legal necessities in XXXX to wire transfer the balance, after all debts had been paid, to XXXX XXXX 's XXXX, XXXX XXXX, account. I have a Power of Attorney Agreement, signed by both of us, stating that we agree to a {$2000.00} retainer with the balance to be paid before the wire transfer to XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX wire transferred {$2000.00} into the Bank of America, XXXX, Maryland account of XXXX XXXX XXXX, a partner of XXXX XXXX, in the U.S. This account is at B of A, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Maryland. This alone is wire fraud. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX On XXXX XXXX XXXX was declared to be the INDEPENDENT EXECUTOR, inheritor, of the will of XXXX XXXX XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I now know that they reproduced the document, names, signatures, stamps, and seals of the court. I have this in an email from the XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

On XXXX a document shows that the wire transfer was to take place to XXXX XXXX XXXX, a XXXX partner in the XXXX with a Bank of America account in XXXX Maryland at XXXX XXXX XXXX. Then XXXX states they received a STOP ORDER, TRANSFER ON HOLD from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ). XXXX stated that XXXX had broken XXXX XXXX by not paying {$10000.00} in burial expenses. This payment is required to receive the original notarized death certificate to allow the wire transfer. XXXX had submitted a copy of the death certificate and not paid the burial expenses. XXXX was told by XXXX to fix this by XXXX, XXXX working days. 

I have an email from the proper XXXX XXXX XXXX declaring that XXXX and XXXX XXXX, the principal since 1991, are a fraud and the proper XXXX XXXX XXXX know nothing of XXXX and XXXX XXXX. 

The financial authority and the XXXX XXXX have both told me to file with the XXXX Police. I have tried to file with the XXXX Police two times now. They respond in XXXX. I can not read Swedish so now I have emailed the Swedish Ambassador in Washington, XXXX to assist me in filing with the XXXX Police. 

These individuals and organizations purposefully recreated XXXX XXXX XXXX and Court documents, signatures, identities, stamps, and seals along with websites and online identities. Besides international fraud they have also performed State and Federal Elder Abuse on XXXX XXXX. 

Since I am XXXX the State and Federal Elder Abuse Laws also apply. 

My question is " Am I the only person they did this to, or, is this a large ongoing international fraud using these documents commonly in all frauds they are involved in internationally. '' If I am one of many this is a serious situation. If I am the only person they directed this at we must find out who is behind this and why they are doing this. I have been involved in stopping fraud and corruption along with civil rights for about 50 years now. I have a large presence on the web under my name and my website is fraudbuster.org. Several XXXX XXXX supervisors have told me I have the largest content website XXXX XXXX hosts. 

Please help me bring these common criminals to justice. I am a former invited partner, along with XXXX XXXX XXXX, as The Congress of Racial Equality of California ( CORE-CA ), of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) under former XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I was Director of Policy for ( CORE-CA ). I want a full and fair investigation of all the facts concerning this fraud. Then, the proper prosecutions by all the pertinent law enforcement agencies internationally, and in the U.S.
