Fraudulent investments?

SeaPrince1

Hi,

Regarding Munio, I have it on good authority that Jade State Wealth, the trustees of the company, were only authorised for one day (19/10/17) and now appear to have been dissolved. Why would a company be authorised for one day only? Is this suspicious? I have also discovered that my so-called IFA's registration lapsed in 2012 and he failed to disclose this to me. I had done business with him previously and was unaware of him not being authorised at the time of the investment. He is now uncontactable by telephone. I have contacted an investment recovery company but it appears that because Jade State Wealth, the IFA and Munio were not authorised by the FCA, they are unable to help and they have advised me that a solicitor may be the only option now available. Does anyone have any further information?

The good authority is close, but not quite right. They were authorised 19/10/17 then lost it again on 25/10/2017

It's certainly odd. There must be story behind it.

No sign of any liquidation in the Gazette or on Companies House, though that doesn't exclude the possibility that things are going on behind the scenes.

If the people claiming to be Grant Thornton ask you for money (or anyone else does) it's another scam.
