Ah yes, because giving to charity for no personal gain and giving money to cold-callers for pure personal benefit, without even bothering to do some VERY BASIC BACKGROUND CHECKS are of course entirely the same thing.

Where there's greed, there's always a willing sucker or two.

I've got your point! If they're suckers it's okay to defraud them, and if they are greedy suckers that's even more okay. You've got the moral high ground there, for sure.

Not saying it's ok to defraud suckers...but if these people are silly enough to hand money over at the drop of a hat, without thinking properly about what they are actually doing...well, you can hardly blame somebody with half a brain cell wanting to take their money, can you.

yes, I understand that but my solicitor has told me that it would take a maximum of £1500 to get a detailed report on where all the money has gone and who we would be able to get it back from. this fee will be refunded if funds are found to cover this fee. I am willing to pay this as it is a small amount compared to what they have taken from me already. I am willing to see this through right to the end. I have already started procedures.

At the risk of being blunt...your money has either been spent on fast cars and champagne...or it has left the country, never to be seen from again.

In all probability, anyone setting up such a scam is also going to make sure the money disappears somewhere (even if it is just down the pub)...no sense in leaving it in a regular bank account, only to get found out eventually (which they realise must happen at some point) then have the authorities find all the money tucked away nicely in the local Lloyds branch, meaning the 'investors' can get all their money back plus interest.

I too have parted with some money, screwed, not as much as you but enough to feel foolish. In a case such as this I have always tried to adhere to the motto, 'don't get mad, get even'. I feel if we put our heads together maybe we could come up with a legal way of doing just that.
Ever read any Jeffery Archer?, something along those lines I think would be apropriate. I think it is in his book, 'Not a penny more, not a penny less'
I am open to being contacted.

I have quite a lot of further information, for instance I have visited their supposed offices in, St.John St., London and refused entry. I have also been told they had moved to canary warf. I have visited there and arranged an appointment, no one showed up. They are very illusive, in fact I would describe them as 'slippery customers'.
I have extensive information about pieces of land I have bought, but am unwilling to part with information until I know how it is going to be used and where it might lead.
