Open Question: A huge financial pickle/potential fraud business? I need some serious help!?
Back around 6 months ago I took out a loan to purchase an established online business from a guy I’d met on a forum. We’d spoken many a time and had a lot in common before mentioning his businesses; one of which he sold to me for £5,000, and after checking out the relevant documentation and having it reviewed by the bank advisors, they stated it sounded like a good investment.
I got the £5k business loan, and the ownership of the site and all subsites was transferred to me, and a large box of stock shipped to my address. All seemed well.
But after having the site for maybe a few weeks, I noticed that there were no sales (despite the fact it was documented as having daily sales of high-profile stock). I telephoned the guy I’d bought it from (mobile only) but received no word; I spoke to him on MSN and he said “It might just be slow this week.” I simply accepted it.
Time has gone on, and I have since been paying monthly to the bank for absolutely no return on the site. I was recently contacted by the admin that runs and hosts the site on my behalf who stated “Are you planning on adding ANY hyperlinks?” – which implies there were never any links in place, despite it was sold to me as having numerous users (all documented with email addresses inclusive). I tried contacting a couple of these ‘users’, and the emails bounced. Go figure.
Finally, I tried to contact the guy I’d bought it from, and I stated I thought there was something dodgy afoot. He then got defensive, stated he had a lawyer, and then clammed up. All subsequent attempts to contact him have been ignored.
My business loan still has around £4,300 left to pay and the company I worked for has recently been liquidated thanks to the recession. I literally have no money and have found myself at a complete loss as to what to do.
All attempts to legally fight the guy I got the site from will be nothing short of futile, as he has alledgedly since moved from the address he provided and all I have is an email address and mobile telephone number.
I’m with the Royal Bank of Scotland. The next payment for the loan is in three weeks, my landlord is about to kick me out and even though I am eligible for some sort of unemployment money, it’s nowhere near enough to cover my shortfall…
Alec, thank you for such a comprehensive answer. I personally don’t regard myself as a stupid guy, and I very rarely regret my actions, but it seems as though I’ve let someone fool me yet again (comes with being the trusting sort).
But I’ll certainly have a talk with my specified advisor, and see if she can help me with anything. However if all that paperwork I was provided with was all fake (as indeed, some of the items he specified were) then I pitched the business to them with false details (and hence, shouldn’t any advice they give be null?).
Anyway, I’ve given you the big thumbs up here, any additional help is much obliged, but just so you know I thoroughly appreciate your assistance here.
Open Question: What career should I pursue? HELP! No idea at all?
I’m a freshman in High School. I have a 3.96 GPA and am taking every advanced class that my school offers. Right now, we’re scheduling classes for my sophmore year. To do so, I need classes that support the career I’m going to pursue yet I have no idea what that is. I want alot of money. I was considering becoming a doctor yet I don’t enjoy my science class too much (I think it’s the teacher). I love math and am good at it so I was looking into a job in that field but they seem to make smaller salaries (I’m not too good at making decisions).
More careers that interest me are:
Money Manager (MATH!)
Investment Banker (MATH!)
Forensic Accountant (MATH!)
Investment Advisor (MATH!)
Auditor (maybe)
Lawyer (interesting)
Pharmacist (good money, good amount of schooling)
Anesthesiologist (Lot of money)
Any help? Any others w/ good money?
Open Question: Should i leave my money invested in stocks and shares or pull out now?
I have invested £90,800 with HSBC. My financial advisor there talked me through it all and, based on his understanding of my level of risk taking, we placed it into a Taxed Plan. This was split 10% here, 10% there etc. Some in low risk, majority in medium risk and 5% in high risk. This was in December 2008. In January 2009 i had £94,000. Now, March 2009, I have £84,000. I have had £10,000 wiped off its value in 8 weeks. This has really made my knees wobble! I am now considering cutting my losses, cashing in and putting my money into a property which i will live in. I am new to investment, i do not understand it completly. I would really appreciate some advice – i do not know what to do. Should i cut my losses and grab my £84k now, or do i leave it in. I do understand that i am only 4 months in to a 5 year plan but i dont understand what the point to leaving money in an investment that is going down – and i expect it to go down more. Should i take what i have now or shut my eyes and look again in 5 years???
