    You have good information on that web site but sadly it will do little good. Anybody who does a Google Search on them will already find this thread ranked ahead of PF's own web site (that must annoy them!). Sadly most don't even do that elementary level of checking before sending off large sums of money, let alone check whether they are authorised by the FSA.

    Also once PF get too well known they will simply change names and start again. Have a look at the FSA boiler rooms warning list to see just how many scam companies there are out there targeting UK investors. I'm afraid PF are just a drop in an ugly ocean.

    Nice grabbing of the domain name though!

    EDIT: tell you what - I'll link to your web site as that will give a boost to your search engine ranking. Here you go...

  • Parker Forrester / pftrade.net are SCAMMERS.

    check out www . parkerforrester.com

    BEWARE
  • Thanks for the link reaper,

    I know it will probably never do any good , but there are so many boiler room scams PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW.

    How these people invest without checking every avenue first is beyond me.

    hopefully, it will save some poor soul losing there life savings.

    BEWARE parkerforrester / pftrade.net

  • If seems Parker Forrester know the shares scam is up and they are now trading as pf holidaytrading dot com, a timeshare scam. I have been conned by these people for many thousands of pounds and I am investigating them. If you have any information on them I would be grateful to receive it. I'm aware that they watch these forums regularly so I'm expecting some red herring emails.
  • Coffin Maker, sounds like your in the same situation as myself, this shower, Parker Forrester has conned me out of a substantial amount of money under their company name pftrade .net, they are criminals, and are currently being pursued by a large number of Europeans for their investments back, however they are based internationally which makes matters difficult. Check out website www. pfholidaytrading . net , this website gives details and a link to their previous operations
  • I also invested thru Parker Forrester. Started with Gary Talbot and later took over by Geoffery Mecham.
    I have been trying to contact them and have not got any response. The place they used to operate from said they have moved out.
    Does anyone have any way of contacting them. If this is a scam and someone has some leads, why hasnt the authorities got hold of them?

    Because of the difficulty involved. The people you were talking to used made up names. The offices are likely to be nothing more than a mail drop, paid for in cash from people who don't ask questions. They will now shut up shop and re-open under a different name and a different address. They operate from within China so it would take international cooperation to track them down and even if they could be caught they would argue they did actually give you the shares you bought and so what if you paid over the odds for them it's a market isn't it?
  • I too was scammed , the "post box " in Shanghai may have moved but the people at the original post box are still there and subject to investigation by Interpol , Crime Commission and China Internal Affairs Police, likewise the remittance number in Hong Kong being tracked . It is my understanding those involved are still in China .

    When you see the number of people that fall for these scams you realise just how lucrative fake emails and phone calls are.
    Its a frightening situation.
    Credit to the poster who registered the .com domain name and put up the warning.
