Audi RS4,Mercedes ML and a Mercedes AMG C class it turns out.

Never got to drive them, it appears they were bought fraudulently with money I had invested in an investment company.

It turns out too that there are no assets left which means no money back.

Jail is too good for this bastįrd.

Hello

I don't suppose investment companies belong to any legalisitive body?

When Independent insurance went bankrupt, I could claim back up to 90% of my premium.

MJ- A lot more than that but these were just cars involved.

Workshy_Fopp- If it serves as a warning then surely it has to be a good thing even if it was stuck on a telegraph pole outside an off licence.

Thanks for the other replies.

Spoon,
I for one am glad when people post warnings because it reminds us to look deep before doing some things, things that I might not have a knowledge about so thank you for that, and as for the loss you have my sympathies, jail, pah, a nail through each bollok is too good for em.

Hope your luck turns around soon..

Thanks Peanuts- I've known this guy for 12 years too.

Turns out he has been a complete Walty Mitty, with no exaggeration.

Lots of people have suffered as a result and the fraud squad are still finding people.

Of course, the irony is that you'd have lost less if you'd just gone out an bought an Audi RS4, Mercedes ML and a Mercedes AMG C class. And had a lot more fun too

Carl- how true. Then there's the Florida home, the Worcester home.

Oh and The ML was an AMG too, just noticed i'd not said that.
