This is regarding a broker scam I am currently victim of. I put £2100 on 60000 shares of San Leon Energy at 3.5p with this broker James H of pl-securities.com,in late February 2014. He gave me a username and password to log into bloomberg.com and view my share.
.>
I made this payment into Wenware.com, his escrow agent, who
also had a website on Feb 27th.
>
James H would call almost daily to chat to me regarding the Shares, San Leon Energy, and how much money it could make. He said he was a New Yorker who moved to london 8 y ago and was handling lots of clients. He said it was going to make loads of money. He had wanted another £2400 to invest in Poundland and at this point I backed off at the last minute. He would say he had a home in Chelsea and flew to Dublin on weekends to attend San Leon Energy conferences. I did not follow his precise role in the company though. I had asked to meet James in person, and he had said would have me attend shareholders meeting in May. But in May he refused saying it was for corporates. I became suspicious and requested he sell my shares, and refund me the balance and close the account.
.>
At this point James H did what one can say is absconding. I got email from him 9 May agreeing to sell my shares. I emailed him 27th May asking to sell my shares and reimburse my checking account.
>
Eventually I rang the Financial Ombudsman who said I have to call FCA (financial conduct authority)(0800 111 6768 ) who in turn aid they cannot help, gave me a number for Actionfraud, 0300 123 2040
>
Actionfraud gave me a crime reference number
Crime Ref# NFRC140600648779 and I also filed a small claims request online on 3 Jun
>
Actionfraud had an announcement that they may not help,
and they gave a crime reference number, and talked at length. They gave me a username password to "log in" at actionfraud, to submit further details should they arise they arise
>
I tried to "log in" to Actionfraud but adding my user name and password did not result in seeing my account online. Sending information down that website was like throwing something into the lake,and TRUSTING someone would pick it up
>
The next 2 times I tried to speak to Action fraud proved disappointing. They said once they gave username and password one time to me; there is no record of the same on their system. They also said once they give a crime reference number, their "system" forgets it for good.
>
I was unsure what to do next, as the registered post I sent them 6th June, and 11th June, were returned by the postman.So I googled "small claims lawyer". I contacted 3 websites/companies to get a phone consultation about the small claims process. All 3 were disappointing, and eager to pounce on a scammed person
The first website legalcare.co.uk did not charge money but
they just asked me to call the financial ombudsman. So did not know their job.
The second website, smallclaimscourtangel.co.uk appearing to operate in many towns has only one lady who runs the show and she misunderstood my claim as being for £14.99 but the correct figure was £1499 which is what I requested James H to pay. So she too did not know her job.

The last one, which completely put me off trying to have a phone consultation, was shephenson.co.uk. I mean they acted as if they were very interested, even desperate I take the advice of a particular girl who worked in their office. They said the moment I called I would hear from her, and I had to pay a higher amount than his website says $49. The company were desperate to look for a woman onto me and it was not acceptableto them I spoke with men. Anything Tracy called and started off like she would latch on and never leave me alone, as long as I lived"
I think the idea is to put women with women, but then they do things in a "very different way" where neither civil courtesy nor fair rules are followed. For example her not coming to the phone getting referred by a proxy, planning to make an elaborate "do" of my case, charging larger amounts than specified on their website for a consultation.
I guess I have a history of receiving abuse if I criticized a woman, and fancy the court may quash my claim, even though the FCA have listed him as an illegal broker if I said I find this annoying I am palmed off to women plus they have been extortionists. I have a history of people lying about me under oath.
I wanted to mention these things because I want the public to know these companies helping with small claims are not providing a good service plus there is no one who will help me on the matter,plus I think Shephensons are trying to scam the scammed in the guise of giving "yelp" "yelp" "yelp" "yelp"
I further found out from Companies house Wenware.com is still a live company in June 2014, whereas there is no company by the name of Pl-securities.com who have listed on their website as address in London and one in Munchen Germany. Also sometime between Feb 2014 when i bought the shares,from James and May 2014 wenware.com website was taken down and the domain offered for sale.
I want to publish my dealings in forums where someone would be interested.
