Investment bonds

We’ve been looking at the best rate bonds and think this is a fake site- has anyone else come across this one? Www guaranteed-bond .com

A pathetically obvious amateur website. Misleading headlines, no company details etc etc. Reported.

All the other pages that come up when you put that link into Google are obvious scams as well.

Your title says investment bonds.  Yet your post does not mention anything to do with investment bonds.

I suspect the website is a clone scam.  Sandie Bowen is a genuine company but it is an appointed representative of St James Place.    Also the FCA register shows there is no other trading name used by Sandie Brown.   So, when the website says "Guaranteed Bonds® is a registered trademark and trading name of Sandie Bowen", that does not support the regulatory status of the company.

Also, the so called "our offices" is fake.  Sandie Brown is out my way In Norfolk.

And the footer disclaimer on the website is incorrect.   It is clearly not written by someone in regulated financial services.

The website content contains a lot of false information too.   One of the ironic things is that Sandie Brown are sales reps of SJP but this site tells you to use an IFA if you need financial advice.    As if SJP are going to tell people that!!!

Who do you report these crooks to? The FCA?

1. You are looking in the wrong way. Google searches and Facebook ads will have a preponderance of scams. These organisations will take advertising money from anyone, they don't care if they are scammers.
Research by looking at website like this one. And note, there are also  fake comparison websites out there that you'll find, again by looking on google / FB. 

You are lucky this advert / website  is apparently not very good and so you asked here. Seems if it was a plausible one you'd have been suckered in. 

Stop using google (and FB?) to research investments. 

2. The term "bond" is not defined. It covers a multitude of sins. But more recently has been hijacked by scammers. So instead of looking for an "investment bond" (a literally meaningless  phrase) start out with what you want to do, and then ask in a forum like this one. Eg do you want a higher interest rate in return for locking your money away for several years? Or to invest in the stock market with lower risk and lower returns than just buying shares? Or income for the next 5 years? Or ...... ?

If you are looking for a fixed rate savings account ( sometimes referred to as bonds) then this a legit comparison site.
