Anyone used theISA.club??

I have seen advertising for theISA.club recently, on first viewing they seem to offer a good range and variety of products however I cannot find any information on customer experience etc. Just wondering if anyone on here has heard of them or used them?

Thanks in advance!

    New user asking about a generic mini bond company only setup a few months ago? Here we go again.

    Avoid like the plague others have seen total loss with similar products. A much better way of losing all you money is giving to charity.

    You might want to read up on the difference between regulated and unregulated investments to understand when you can lose 100% of your money before you start handing it over to companies

    Yes, but as the Irish say when asked for directions - well I wouldn't start from here ;)

    Yes and apologies if you are genuine but we get a lot of likely stooges posting similar messages.

    If you refer to someone as a stooge, you are criticizing them because they are used by someone else to do unpleasant or dishonest tasks.

    Made me smile.
  • I wouldn't have wasted your time if I was struggling for for a basic word definition, which is why I didn't ask for one.

    So please help me understand the question you are asking? While many new posters are genuine we also get suspiciously formulated messages like that at the top that appear designed to stimulate debate and awareness of a new provider of dubious products such as mini bonds which often turn out to be unregulated scams. We never really know if the poster is genuine or not but we do out best to warn people against non-mainstream investments as we regularly hear sorry tales from people who have suffered total loss in similar products.
