Blackmore Bonds Reviews - Are they safe?

By J Drew -
A company called Blackmore Bonds are now using Facebook to promote their unregulated investments where you could lose all your money so I thought it would be worth a quick review for those who may be unsure whether Blackmore Bonds are genuine or a scam product.

Many people want to know the answer to the question  "Are Blackmore Bonds safe?" The answer is no, they are an unregulated investment that isn't FSCS protected and you could lose all your money. There is no guarantee that they will pay income and you could get back less money than you invest in the Blackmore Bonds.

Facebook adverts by Blackmore bonds are very heavily emphasised on the words "savings" and "interest" but seem less keen to use the words "risk" and "unregulated".

The words below again highlight fixed rate returns but the returns are only fixed if the company has the funds to continue paying them. There is no guarantee and your investment is not FSCS protected so you have no comeback if the company stops paying you.

The screenshot above does show the words "capital at risk" but it's not very clear and the website doesn't elaborate on the details.

Bond is a very misused word. In some instances it's used by banks for savings accounts yet Blackmore Bonds are not a savings account but an investment. There are also corporate bonds and investment bonds which are more like Blackmore and have similar sorts of risks.

It also appears that Blackmore are blocking any comments on their Facebook page that mention that they aren't FSCS protected and you could lose your money. This is rather worrying as they are facts that anyone investing in Blackmore Bonds should be aware of and fully agreed to. If anyone is investing and thinks they can get 8.5% risk free income from Blackmore Bonds they are sadly mistaken.

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

By J Drew -

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...
