Dear goboy156,
I assume that the fund operator you have in mind is actually Alfred Wieder.
As for their legitimacy: The Alfred Wieder AG (AWAG) is properly
registered with the trade register of the Munich Municipal Court, as
demanded by German law. The AWAG was registered as a public company on
18 December 2002, under the name Alfred Wieder Vertriebs AG. Their
registry number is HRB 145863. The trade register entry is available
online through the corporation database of the newspaper Süddeutsche
Zeitung:
http://handelsregister.sueddeutsche.de/index.php?action=suchen/expose/126
On 2 February 2005, the company name was officially changed to Alfred
Wieder AG, as decided at the shareholders' meeting of 25 January 2005.
The change of name was also properly filed with the Municipal Court's
trade register:

On the company's website, CEO Alfred Otto Wieder provides his criminal
record with no entries of any illegal activities, issued by the
Attorney General of the German Federal Court of Justice, as proof of
his individual integrity (PDF file):

There is no reason to assume that the Alfred Wieder AG is a fraudulent
company or a scam.
