"for a month they researched LCF"

that sounds hard to believe - they certainly didn't research in the right places

Probably took them a month to read the 400+ Feefo reviews

(2 stars) "why has this been sent to me as along with other customers my bond may have matured but i have received no interest or principal"

I wonder what would it would take for someone to leave a one star review.

If anyone fancies running their own scam and is looking for a sucker list, many of those reviews have full names and areas so it'd be pretty easy to track some of them down.



BTW, I hope the person who said she couldn't understand the legal jargon didn't tick the "sophisticated investor" box.

I suspect that a proportion of those are either bots or posted by those related to the company

"They were very professional from the outset and made sure that I knew exactly what I was investing in and the potential pitfalls. I have had excellent communication from them throughout the investment period and I have now reinvested due to their excellent service"

If not I hope that the person who left this one really did know what they were investing in 3 months ago. I wonder if they were told it included helicopters and property for those associated with the company?

Clarity when explaining products on offer. Nice people to deal with.

What's the phrase? Um, zero out of three ain't bad?

Well, to be fair they did eventually put "your capital is at risk" on the "tin" so I suppose that's true.

From everything I've read it seems like it was almost exclusively greedy baby boomers who fell for this scam. These people are old enough to know that a facebook ad promising an 8% return at a time when base rates are so low is dodgy. No sympathy
