Stop scammers-millions of£ being taken fraudulently from uk & overseas investors
Investors are targeted with slick advertising 'hands free' guaranteed returns for investments in student accommodation/hotel/rooms/nursing homes/storage pods etc.Investments are illegal Ponzi schemes or UCIS where income pooled to pay for a short time before the scheme is allowed to collapse.
Scammers are walking away scot free with £'s taken from innocent investors knowing that even if they are unlucky enough to be caught little of nothing will be done to bring them to justice and even if they do end up in court the fines are meagre compared with sums they have pocketed. Please take action to put a stop to these schemes. We want them to ensure we have a strong & robust regulatory sys capable of tackling these scammers.If nothing is done uk reputation & loosing life savings.
