I got a letter this morning from The Insolvency Service regarding Utopia Consortium, apparently there is no prospect of a distribution of funds. John/Anthony is £91,790.62 in debt. A petition was made to the Insolvency Service by VOW Europe Ltd on the 13th December.

In short he duly sold all of us Dyson's with no prospect of delivering them. When does this become fraud? Call me vindictive but if I can't have my money back I'd like him to be prosecuted. I work for my money, why shouldn't he. :mad:

All these satisfied customers were surely just a con or is it fraud to get even more people to send him £115. I thought I was so over all this but let me tell you the letter this morning has my blood boiling.

Not sure whether the £91k is just what he owes Vow, as I think it is unlikely that the liquidators have the final number if you have only now got a letter.

But if the petition was in December and he continued to take cash for Dysons till March then surely this demonstrates an intention to defraud. At the very least his offer to in relation to Credit card payment which we know he was offering for at least 8 months with no CC agreement demonstrates an intention to mislead.

If he owes £91k what happened to all the dosh he took from unsuspecting punters? I suspect this has been secreted away probably in other family members' accounts. Suffolk Trading Standards (STS) are not very forthcoming with information, but hopefully they have bank statements/computer records to assess illegal activity. Or maybe the liquidators have this and will report any funny business.

Perhaps someone who has lost money and feels strongly, should write to STS under freedom of information act, ask to see what has been done to collect info regarding the assessment of whether any fraudulent activity has occurred.Then post it here so that others may be assured that action is seen to being done.

Hi There, looks like i'm one of the unfortunate ones, same old line about the credit card, not usually this gullible it seems, could you give me any contact details you have for Utopia?, I take it this was purchased earlier this month?:mad:

This was his mobile no. when I was dealing with him. Don't know if it's still used:

I wouldn't place too much trust in people writing that they've received one. Mr Ensinger spent a lot of his time on this forum with various usernames.

Anyone know if Suffolk Trading Standards did take these scammers to court yet?
