London Capital & Finance Reviews - Is it Real or a Scam?

By J Drew -
You may have seen adverts for London Capital & Finance offering excessively high rates for what are claimed to be savings accounts.

The motto "if it seems too good to be true it probably is" has never been more appropriate. London Capital & Finance may not be a scam but it certainly isn't offering a savings account. It's not FSCS protected and you could lose ALL your money.


The advert claims London Capital Finance is a savings account, it isn't! It's a loan to a company that may not pay it back. Read closely and it says your capital is at risk

    Hi,

    Your blog is one of the best public service acts I have seen. As I started investigating due to discovering my partner may be loosing money due to this web of fraud, my personal opinion! Your details matched much of my own digging.
    Two questions
    If the FCA was informed about this company approx 2 years ago and did nothing can they held to account legally for losses?

    Is there a list of main directors/people involved in these companies linked to LCF?

    Thank for posting this blog very helpful.

      Glad you've found it useful. I'd not seen this post for a while. Quite accurate as it happens apart from the bit where I said it wasn't a scam.

      There is a list of people here https://damn-lies-and-statistics.blogspot.com/2019/01/people-behind-london-capital-finance.html

    "If the FCA was informed about this company approx 2 years ago and did nothing can they held to account legally for losses?" Could it be that Thatcherite deregulation has encouraged or even normalised this type of criminality? So many scams around now, hard to know who can be trusted.

Concept Capital Group Review - Is it Genuine or a Scam?

By J Drew -
Image
Investment in Concept Capital Group is being promoted on Facebook and Rightmove to solicit investment in their static caravans for rental to social housing tenants via Social Park Housing. Concept Capital Group are claiming to guarantee rental income of 10% but as investors in London Capital & Finance are fully aware, this sort of guarantee is fully dependent on the company making it still being in business. If the company fails for any reason then there will be no-one to support the guarantee or to return money to investors.  Update November 2024: It's reported on MSE that investors are struggling to get repayments of their investments with various excuses. If the company fails your guarantee disappears. Concept Capital Group have only existed since 2019 so have no track record of honouring investment guarantees over the long term.

London Capital & Finance Trial 2024 - Latest Court News

By J Drew -

The trial of various individuals associated with LCF (London Capital and Finance) started in Feb 2024. There seems little mainstream coverage of the proceedings, probably because they are quite technical and maybe generally of interest to a small group of affected investors. However I've found an excellent resource that is giving daily transcripts of the proceedings and to say they were enlightening would be an understatement. As someone who has been involved in investigating LCF for nearly 8 years it is fascinating to read the behind the scenes details of how the company was setup and how accurate some of my summaries were. Sadly many of the details couldn't be published at the time because without more evidence they would have been considered libellous but the emails from LCF now show how their scheme was planned from the start.

Where are the People and assets behind LCF & their agent Surge Financial? London Capital & Finance owned a helicopter purchased by Andy Thomson. LCF helicopter seized This has now been seized and is being held at Shoreham Airport in Sussex. According to the administrators one of the loans of £12 million was to a stables called Home Farm originally run by Spencer Golding but now owned by Sean Cubitt who was unable to provide any paperwork for the purchase of the company or for any of the horses. There were originally 85 horses apparently with a combined values of £15 million according to the owners but when the administrators visited they could only see 35 that had a value of less than £10,000 each. Sean Cubitt claimed that there was no bank account for the company that runs Home Farm. So a company with no bank account was loaned £12 million by LCF. Yet another example of the lies they told to investors about their lending process. We understand that the val...
