Well the last twenty pages of nonsense seem to have been debunked very quickly.

What kind of "luck" are you referring to? I can't imagine banks are going to be giving people their money back, will they? I've heard of people having their own bank accounts frozen, which is more in line with what I would expect, given my very limited understanding of the Proceeds of Crime...

As already mentioned, but worth stressing repeatedly - Do This!! Excellent advice! And probably worth putting in the OP if it isn't already.

There is no accountant.

.... assuming of course that all those "funds" so neatly presented on the App are sat in a frozen bank account, just waiting for the FCA to release them so they can be re-distributed with a "sorry for any inconvenience" and "thanks for your business" signing off email.

The FB page is back! :D

Dec will lose his assets under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Trading without an FCA licence (irrespective of scamming people) is sufficient. There is no point pursuing him in the Civil Court. *I’m not a lawyer though.

He could believe it is invested in a bigger pot and that he's using that person's FCA reg'n and they're just feeding him info - he might be thinking he's a franchisee of a genius and taking the credit himself for whatever reason he has been fed. I don't think he's clever enough to get it this...

A couple of my thoughts: Our MP won't do anything, I'm not sure she could/would especially if there's an active investigation. I see comments that he's lawyering up - I've seen no evidence of this, other than a Whatsapp message, and any communications from i4u should be taken with a pinch of...

Why would he need a barrister? It's hardly likely to be going to court already. And as if a barrister is going to fast-track his FCA application! "Trading" without a licence would most likely prevent him from ever getting accreditation. It's just all nonsense. I can only assume there's someone...

Very good point. But

I am all aboard this conclusion, 100%, but... If you're intelligent enough to con (probably thousands of) people right on your doorstep, how on earth do you see it ending with anything other than jail time? Does he think he gets to live on Silica Lodge and drive a MacLaren whilst everyone else...

Don't worry about me worry mate, I never gave him any money. I'm just curious about whether it's legit, seen as I know a lot of people who could lose a lot of money.

Some rumours flying around that he has been suspended, but I'm not sure how that is possible if you were never regulated in the first place!

What I don't understand about this (if it is a scam) is why the owner is so visible.. Scunthorpe is a pretty small place. The amount of money being kicked around in such a short space of time is astronomical (I've heard of about half a million from different sources). Then you have the house...
