Blackmore Bonds Website Removes all Bond marketing- Why?

UPDATE - Blackmore have now confirmed that they have reached their targets this tax year so no longer need any further funds.

There has been an interesting development with Blackmore Bonds, the high risk mini bond provider that was promoted by Surge Financial in the same way as London Capital & Finance. Blackmore bonds were promoted by the websites Top ISA rates and replaced LCF bonds at the top of the lists when they were shut down by the FCA after their marketing was directed to be removed.

Blackmore Bonds Closed FCA Action?

Recently the Blackmore website became very transparent making it clear to investors that they were paying up to 20% commission to Surge for business and that there were significant risks for investing in their bonds.


As of 23 March 2019 the Blackmore Bond website has been completely stripped back and now only shows a few details of their projects. This follows an investigation by BBC Moneybox last week where Blackmore claimed 50%+ rates of return on their projects.  Blackmore Bonds have also completely disappeared from Google advertising.

 With the website completely removing any mention of the sale of bonds, it begs the question - Has the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) ordered Blackmore to remove all their marketing in the same way that they did for London Capital & Finance?

Or have Blackmore decided to pull their marketing themselves before being stopped?

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.
