    Shocking! I just feel for the poor sods that plough their savings into this.

    Well, lets hope that anyone considering DJB Financial will do a Google search and come across this thread.  
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    You might wish to consider editing your thread title to refer specifically to DJB Financial so that when people search for DJB Financial, either on Google or on here, they stand more chance of finding it!

    According to Companies House, the prestigious offices of DJB Financial are on the 1st floor of 125-127 Manchester Road, above the [permanently closed?] offices of Legal Heroes. They are registered as an Advertising Agency and seem to be run by a husband and wife team, David John Brenkley (age 32) and Michelle Brenkley (age unknown).

    Mr. Brenkley has previously been a Director of now dissolved companies Travel Repay Ltd ("Other service activities not elsewhere classified"), Tailored Direct Ltd (Pension funding), and Switch and Flick Ltd (Energy brokerage). 





    As is usual (?), the company can conveniently be reached via 2 London phone numbers - 0207 846 0185 and 0203 488 4131.

    I was very disappointed in the website when I followed the link in OP, but am much more impressed by this one

    I was reassured by the photo of the very professional looking, ethnically diverse team, particularly as they all seem to have 'brilliant minds' (5th link)

    Those people are doing an awful lot of moonlighting, if Google image search is any guide!
    To be fair, it's just as likely that the American Institute of Physics licensed the stock image from Getty Images in the same way that our chum from Southport probably has, it's not an uncommon way of populating web pages and isn't in itself underhand, unless accessing a bootleg copy without paying for it....
