Tilney Treasury Barclays Bonds Fixed Income Scam - Impersonation of Genuine Investments

By J Drew -

Scammers seem to have given up trying to sell their own mini bonds like Blackmore Bond or London Capital & Finance and are now impersonating actual genuine investment companies like Tilney to promote their scam investment bonds.

The latest one is using the name of a real Tilney employee called James Dawkins but the scammers have nothing to do with Tilney and the emails are a fabrication. The emails do not use the real Tilney email addresses but a new one registered in May 2021 as fixedincome-tilney.co.uk so any replies to their fake emails will go to them not Tilney.

You can see the details here https://who.is/whois/fixedincome-tilney.co.uk

The fake Tilney scammers seem to be operating via Facebook adverts and a website called https://www.bondrates.co.uk/ Once you register for information you will get called by someone where the called ID shows as Tilney - Mayfair London. This is NOT the real Tilney investment company calling you!


If you hand your money over to these people you are unlikely to ever see it again!

These scammers are promoting various bonds but essentially all are made up but using the names of genuine Treasury Gilts and Barclays Corporate bonds.

Treasury 1.75% fake bond Gilts
Treasury 2.75% TR24 scam bond
Treasury 5% TR25 2025 gilts

These gilts all exist but not paying the interest rates that are claimed as you cannot buy the gilts at the prices listed. Also with gilts you can buy & sell at any point you want, the scammers are claiming these are fixed time investments for 12/24/36 months.

Interest Rate: 1.75% Fixed
Availability: Secondary market
Listing: London Stock Exchange
Interest Payment: Bi-Annual
Issue Date: 12 June 2012
Maturity Date: 7th September 2022
Coupon Payment Dates: 8th September & 8th March of each year
Accessibility: 30 Day Notice Period to sell units before maturity date
Capital Protection: 100% Capital protection from HM Treasury

Phone numbers used by these scammers include

020 3026 0956
020 8103 4902

as well as the fake caller ID of Tilney's genuine phone number 020 3131 6167

    Mr Andrew Thompsett,

    We replied to your enquiry and after receiving a wild accusation that we werent who we said we were closed your enquiry down.

    You are mistaken with the above blog. Please remove my name from this article as when prospective customers search it comes directly beneath my linkedin profile. This is outrageous.

    Our domains get changed regularly to prevent security breaches and Tilney Group own multiple sub-domains for divisions within the company.

    My emails include: james.dawkins@tilney.co.uk, james.dawkins@bestinvest.co.uk, james.dawkins@fixedincome-tilney.co.uk



    You have not taken any time to verify the claims that you have made but instead published a slanderous article.

    I have read your "about" page and you seem to be a vigilante claiming ownership for closing down or notifying the authorities to a number of credible (risky) investments.

    The page you have shared isn't one of our marketing partners and the contact details are not what was on my email signature, this whole blog is completely false!

    Please remove.

    J. Dawkins

    Please Remove!!


    The contact details you have supplied are incorrect and are not the direct line details

      Nice try scammers! We've spoken to the real James Dawkins at the real Tilney investments and he has confirmed that you are operating a scam and the email address james.dawkins@fixedincome-tilney.co.uk is fake! Funnily enough sending an email to james.dawkins@tilney.co.uk gets through to the real person at Tilney not you.

      If anyone wants to confirm if the investments are genuine or a fake/scam then I suggest calling Tilney via the contact number on their actual website. The investments mentioned do not exist in the form they are being promoted. You can buy Treasury gilts but they are not packaged up in the way that is claimed and certainly not offering the interest rates listed based on the current selling price.

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...
