Do not Do It
If I were somebody wishing to invest I would not talk to DeVere especially in Bangkok, Malta, Spain and Russia. If you are dealing with an office in Australia, USA or Britain that may provide better options.
De Vres did not realize that 2 of my acconts were linked so when 1 was suspended so was the other.
The person I dealt with was a Ian Mc Intyre in the Bangkok office. I beleive he is now working in Mailla
You also need to be aware of the companies they deal with such as Skandia?Old Mutual International. This company have had many problems in the past they used such as Kaupthing Singer& Friedlander, a number of the the other banks they trade with have been udergoing investigation by government agencies.

Carefully, check the charges on your account. I was paying about $799.87 every 3 months plus an administration of $177.70. I therefore dumped it. If you are dealing with Skandia/ Old Mutual International and are in debt to them you can reduce your interest on your debt.
Drop your account at once. Don’t worry about exit fees, just bail.
You will find that some of the staff are helpful and some need some help.
Talk straight call them when the office has been open for an hour.
They are people that work there, we are other people so be polite, please.
I know that the Royal Bank of Scotland has been under investigation in the last couple of years. And if my memory is correct so have Lloyds Bank. Both of these banks they deal with.
The other option is we have to talk to the police. The police may have little power in the region that your investment is placed. But if in the Isle of Man it may come under the address of the British Isles, so therefore there might be some power that can applied by the British Government/Police
Remember that Government or the Police don’t care about you (you are just a number). They have their lives as you do.
I hate to be blunt but they are government-cops.0
