Boiler Room Scams

Careful of these land banking scammers/

Option Four Group Limited

Option Land UK Limited

Basically they're selling worthless plots of land for £25k each that you'll be 'able' to get planning permission on. yeah, sure you will.

Pay money to these kinds of companies and all you'll get is a plot of land worth probably no more than £500 and it will NEVER get planning permission.

PLEASE START TO THINK EVERYONE AND NEVER TRUST A COMPANY THAT CALLS YOU OFFERING EASY MONEY.

The main area they're selling the land is Winkleigh Airfield, Torridge, Devon.

Here's a couple of questions for anyone to ask themselves who is mad enough to take the advice of the salesmen selling the land -

1) How much does it cost to apply for Planning Permission. Get the proper answer and I think you'll be shocked.

2) Who is responsible for paying to put in the drains, electricity, and roads etc. Again, find the right answer and I think you'll be shocked, because it's going to be you.

So for anyone that thinks there's easy money to be made out of buying land that's 'ripe' for planning please do this -

1. Look in the mirror, and look hard
2. Can you see the phrase 'naive fool' written on your forehead?
3. You can, well that's excellent, because that's what you are so realise you're being setup by smooth talking conmen to buy worthless land which has about a 1% chance of ever getting planning permission or you even being able to sell it on, unless o0f course you turn into a conman and try to fool somebody else into buying your (worthless) land.

Just being cruel to be kind here everyone because some of you REALLY need things drumming into your heads.........
 
And if anyone is stupid enough and is thinking about buying (worthless) land at Winkleigh Airfield from a company that cold called saying you can make 'easy money' once planning permission is granted then please do yourself a favour. Ring the planning department on the following link just to hear what they have to say about your chances and the land in general.

I think you might be shocked at the disconnect between what the company selling the land is telling you and what the local planners will tell you.......

It is a good one thread because it's helped lots of people keep hold of their cash. I just wish we could help some of the people that have lost cash.

Please add to it if you have any information about any scam running, shares, land, carbon credits etc.

The more information published on this thread the more Google lists in the seearch results and in turn the more help we can give potential scam victims if they have the sense to search the net before committing money.

Like I've been saying for years now - THE INTERNET IS THE BEST DEFENCE AGAINST SCAMS - SO USE IT.

I think the clue is cold call. No one who doesn't know you is going to cold call you and give his oppurtunity at making money. He would keep it himself. There is no such thing as easy money and remember; "COLD CALLS EQUAL SCAMS". SCAMS EQUAL LOST OR STOLEN MONEY.

I remember the first time I said cold calls equal scams. Did I get shot down by the scammers on this forum.

Well, you see, I was a bit nervous (time was running out since my transfer was getting old and the bank account cold) and since I was stupid enough to invest a lot of money (over 50k EUR, yeah, I'm that stupid, go figure!) so I used any force available (complaint at police (needed for bank anyways), money recall via bank and specialist Fraudnet lawyer who informed bank and money laundry agency -- but you can do/try this yourself..). So, my bank took 20,- EUR per recall (3x in my case and there was some "foreign allowance", but not that much anyways). Lawyer cost me around 1.5k EUR. But, since I got back all my money that's fine. (And I see this as "apprentice's due".)

But I know from one who called the receiving bank, told them his story and got back the money after around six weeks IIRC. (Yeah, no money recall via bank, and it worked!)

So, AFAIK from my experience and other personal known victims money recall alone should work in most cases, especially if the transfers isn't that old.

However, the bad guys will call you, forget anything they say, do not sign anything they send. Best is to not answer their calls or emails.

Aggie, Re Priority Venture Management. Could anyone advise us,because I dont suppose there is much my husband and I can do now, as there was no help for us at the time, we contacted the Houston Police the SEC. Operation Archway and the local police. They stole a substantial amount of our money in total $81,720 .The money we sent was wired to two banks Banco Santander Uruguay $20,400 two lots went to Banco Del Pinchincha $31,920 and $29,400 which ment we sent in total $81,720. We wrote to both banks after we realised it was a scam but we received no reply.Anyone remember Paul Stanley and Nathalie Sinclair of Priority Venture Management who scamed us out of our money. I have been ill, since hope their concience pricks them.

Aggie, I would not raise hands yet, know people which got their money back nearly two years after been taken for a ride. You don't mention what year you were scammed, keep your communications to the banks safe as it is proof they had been informed and see some of my entries giving you a guide as to how to approach the issue. If I am not mistaken, Banco Satander is a well known big bank and they might be not liking big negative press about their lack of response. One could even state that by not reacting themselves they actively supported the scam.

Regards and good luck

I feel for them as well. I just hope that their losses weren't something they couldn't recover. The market will already beat you down without thinking twice, it's really a shame that you have the market to try and tame, and then have a bunch of sharks looking for easy meat.

Of course, I don't want to take a completely sympathetic point-of-view, because I certainly think that any person wanting to trade should have some wits about them; to at least ask questions or double-check "investment options" from these people that "make millions" but only show up on page 37 on Google.

If you ask questions and they get defensive, hang up.

instead of writing to the banks ring each of them make them aware you have been scammed and that you wish to speak to somebody in authority.if they refuse remind them they are party to advance fee scam and you are recording your conversation. they will soon talk with you to cover themse\lves. give them the a/c no and try to find out if your funds are still in the a/c then get the a/c frozen. then get legal advice quickly.Best of luck
