    Many thanks for the various contributions.

    I am of course bemused by the last one, stunned in fact.
    I have mailed it to Daniel Walker the Sales/portfolio agent and Roger Muncey the existing client to ask for an explanation.

    It was Daniel who put Roger forward as an existing long standing client to be contacted.

    Best Regards

    Give it up. You've been busted.

    It's a shame the mods are so busy closing down threads about investing in metals, and can't be bothered to look at his obvious scam thread.

    Actually, I am pleased the mods are leaving it up as it is so obviously a scam and jimjames work is fantastic and that alone deserves to remain public.

    normansands, either you are very very naive or you are involved in this fraud.

    THIS IS A SCAM COMPANY

    Let me guess their reply. Their entire board of directors are models as their second job and posed for the photos that Getty images supply.

    If I were you I would close down your email account immediately. If you really believe that a supposed "happy customer" contact supplied by a scam company like Sterling Equity is genuine and not an email account they run then you are likely to lose all your money to the African dictators who will be writing to you offering to share their fortunes if you send them £10,000 handling fee.

    Thanks for the feedback! I agree it is excellent that it is being left up. I bet Sterling Equity are spitting nails at it as Google will be indexing it so anyone searching for Sterling Equity Investment Hedge fund scam will find this thread and see the truth about the company.

    How is Sterling Equity owned?

    Does the Delaware Co have any filing requirements?

    Not being regulated by the FSA is hardly surprising as they are not based here.

    Perhaps the Co would like to allay fears about its bona fides.

    What reguilations apply to Spain or wherever else it operates from?

    Will the scammers never admit they are busted? If you follow that link you will see it says:
    Towards the end of 2008 Sterling Equity and many other Hedge Funds were blamed for the collapse and for profiteering from the credit crises. Sterling Equity’s security consultants along with appointed authorities advised that our Board of Directors and Management identities be removed from our website as part of a security directive. Although the profiles remain and are factually accurate the photographs have been replaced with open source corporate images to protect staff from extremist looking to implement harmful actions. All Sterling Equity clients have been informed of this action as part of the Sterling Equity disclosure policy.
    The trouble is that paragraph was only hastily inserted when they were busted on this thread. You can tell that by looking at the cached copy in Google which still has the old version without it.

    Give it up Norman.

    P.S. Maybe they should employ people who can write English if they are pretending to be smart. The sentence "protect staff from extremist looking to implement harmful actions" is a rather clumsy giveaway.

    That's brilliant. I'd not even thought of that being a possible reason. Do the directors of RBS and HBOS hide their faces for security reasons?

    I'm sure Getty Images will be very amused to hear that their images are open source (ie free/unpaid). I'll drop them a line to let them know that Sterling Equity are using them and they can then take the appropriate action to recover costs from Sterling Equity.

    Norman - yet again you ask for advice despite everything that has been said in this thread. The only possible reason that you are not listening to anyone is that you are part of Sterling Equity.

    Dear All,

    I really appreciate the trouble everyone is going to on my behalf. I am very much "small beer" with only £5,000 to invest.

    What I cannot understand is how so many "experts" are not aware of the existence of a company that is supposed to be one of many that are managing billions/trillions of corporate funds off-shore, just because it is registered elsewhere in the global economy.

    I looked at your regulated funds and found the top ones earning as much as 55% in one year, much more than Stirling is offering. The only downside it seemed to me was that of the top five performers for one year, not a single one of them was in the top five for one month or even six months. As a simple soul I look for some consistency.

    The other downside is despite your condemnation you cannot come up with a single case of actual non-performance to cite.

    There must be an answer to this riddle.

    Regards

    Norman
