Signature Capital Review - Is it a Scam?

By J Drew -
It looks like Signature Capital are very keen to get threads removed from Money Saving Expert that give information about their investment schemes. An original thread as listed below has been deleted. A new question is here

This was the original post. Personal names have been removed as per MSE legal policy but can be easily obtained on Companies House.

Interestingly the Director Lawrence Kenwright holds 33 appointments but none preceding 2016. The company boasts projected profits of £37.5 million for 2017/18. That seems quite high for a new company. I got an email today saying that Signature Capital scored a 9 out of 10 in the “independent” Bond Review Investor Chronicle. It turns out that the only other director Kent Laws registered the company Investor Chronicle in April 2018. It doesn’t seem independent to me. Perhaps someone can give me some feedback who is truly independent and not one of their salesmen. Something doesn’t feel right.
The feedback given in the original thread was unanimously that the OP should not invest.

The OP quoted figures which are from the companies' own accounts published on Companies House and are legally bulletproof.

Other non-disputable facts include:

- Any investment offered by Signature Capital which includes a "fixed" or "guaranteed" "rental" agreement is in reality an investment in Signature Capital, as you are relying on Signature Capital to pay your returns regardless of how much the property yields

- Signature Capital is a micro-cap unlisted company and any investment in a micro-cap unlisted company is ultra high risk

- Anyone investing in property should hire their own valuer and not just hand over what the seller says it's worth.

 Another fact confirmed by companies house and in the public domain is that the director of the firm called Investor Chronicle, that wrote the independent review of the Signature Capital Investment was also a director of Signature Capital at that time.

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.

LCF - Where Are The Assets & People Now?

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...
