This thread will be shut down like the rest. LCF was another sadly. 

Expect the lawyers to come in and cry defamation again

I only read the post title...that's all I need. It sounds dubious and why would you invest in anything other than regulated funds from established companies like Vanguard, Fidelity, HSBC, iShares etc? 

TBH I don't really understand stuff like this. My experience is property - I have some money burning a hole in my pocket atm. I bought 2 investment flats earlier in the year, and both fell through. I briefly considered this lodge stuff, but have come to my senses pretty quickly. The money is all in premium bonds atm, but I want to do something useful with it. My thinking atm is pension, or hoping the market dips after furlough and stamp holiday ends and trying a couple of flats again. I had no idea how hard it was investing money till I had some!!!

I'd definitely suggest doing more research rather than just sticking to something you already know like property. As with many things having all your eggs in one basket is risky and not giving you any diversification plus doesn't necessarily give you any tax benefits. S&S ISAs and pensions will both give you tax advantages depending on your circumstances.

Interestingly, the new rules say that if a commenter (alleged defamer) is willing to defend their words in court, the post stays up.

It doesn't, at a glance, appear to be a scam, but still best handled via bargepole.

[Quoted post removed by Forum Team]

What specifically indicates it's a scam? Being high risk, illiquid, similar to other schemes that may have failed or the asset providing poor security - none of those automatically mean it's a scam, merely that it's a bad investment entailing risks that people need to ensure they understand.

does anyone know about the lodge investment which I seen on right move or know anyone who has invested.
the company is landel Belvedere and are offering the following 
55k investment over 5 years which 8% return yearly on 55k pId quarterly and after 5 years you will get 55k back plus 10% on top

I believe this is a new investment going for past few months.
was trying to find reviews but unable to 
I do have a sales contract but wondering what guarantees are on the contract and company

There are no guarantees on the returns, the company or the investment.

You are buying a depreciating asset so ask yourself how are they generating enough profit to give you 8% and also return a profit for themselves.

sounds a bit too good to be true to me.  no one can absolutely guarantee a profit.
