    1999? Jeese, Im not going to lie, that does sound like a scam. You should talk to your broker tommorow and have him look into it. What I can tell you is that if the shares no longer exist in your account and you have no money from them, than the company most likely went bankrupt and the shares went to $0.00. But that is assuming it was a legit deal to begin with. Why are you asking this now? Did you not monitor your account at that time?
