It is a cold call from a company called Bordeaux Fine Wines Ltd.

They are a new company trying to sell you vastly over-priced wines as an investment.

Avoid the calls and avoid the company!

Just got a call from this number - Bordeaux Fine Wines 43-45 Portman Square London. Posh pushy sales women wouldn't take no for an answer. Told her not interested & that I invest in property. She then went on to tell me that property investment was crap & hadn't I heard about recession. Told her my portfolio was doing very nicely thankyou. Still wouldn't let go so I told her to f-off. Sometimes this is the only language they understand. She then phoned me back 3 mins later to have a go at me !!!!!! Lol Hence I told her to f-off again & hung up. When they phoned a 3rd time I left it on hold for 20 mins..hahahaha

Received a call at 17:26 4th December 2012 from Jodie Wright selling 'investment' in high cost wines.  Said that investors' wine is stored at a bonded warehouse in Staffordshire run by HMRC!!!  BFW's address was given as 43-45 Portman Square, London; also claimed to have an office in Hong Kong.
Apparently that London address is serviced offices with tenants such as Regus.  Unless you are a wine dealing expert - well, look up the company's registration details for yourself and check first with acknowledged fine wine experts what the actual market price is for wines being quoted as investments.

Wine investment fraud avoid like the plague visit Fsa site for more info

experienced much the same as stated by others, by the 8th call i told them i was reporting them to the police national fraud line......they never called me after that

They are a legitimate brokerage, registered with companies house since 2008.
A colleague of mine invested with them last year - storage with your own account with the london city bond all checked out. The returns have bee excellent also I must say.
Shame the cold calling hides the talent that is clearly there.

Wine scam warning

07 December 2011

Bromley Police are warning residents to be ware of a scam involving investing in wine, after two residents have recently been embezzled out of £24,900.

The scam starts with the fraudsters contacting victims and talking them into investing large amounts of money in fine wines, which don't actually exist. Two residents have recently become victims of this scam, one losing £15,000, the other £9,900.

"Beware of claims that an investment will produce guaranteed, risk-free or exceptional return".

The advice from the Police is to ALWAYS take independent professional advice before making any investment and particularly if the type of investment is unfamiliar to you.

And Remember the Warning Signs:

Beware of unsolicited or unexpected approaches offering investment opportunities of any kind. Always check on the credentials of a company or individual before dealing with them.

Beware of claims that an investment will produce guaranteed, risk-free or exceptional return. Most investments include an element of risk and returns cannot be guaranteed.

Beware of any investment whose past performance and potential growth cannot be easily checked, for example in the financial press or via an independent financial adviser. Ask yourself, "Why not?"

Beware of pressure to make a quick decision and NEVER sign up to anything immediately. A reputable dealer will allow time for you to undertake research and, if the investment is genuine, there will usually be a 'cooling off' period in case you change your mind.

ALWAYS ask about payment of commission. Beware of an up-front commission payable at the time of purchase instead of the time of sale.

Beware of being told to keep the deal confidential. If the investment is legitimate, why would you need to keep it confidential?

NEVER give your bank account numbers, credit card numbers or other personal information to anyone you don't know or whose credentials you haven't checked.

Ignore emails, chain letters or any other unsolicited approach promoting get-rich-quick schemes. They're not worth reading and will almost certainly leave you out of pocket!

We are constantly  being rung by this company despite me telling them we have no money to invest and wouldn't with them if we had.

They last rang on Wednesday 13th Feb and my 70 year old husband can get confused by phone calls so I called them back and asked them to take us off their contact list. Two days later they with held their number and a guy called Oliver rang - again asking to speak to my husband. It is beginning to cause us distress and It has to stop! Please help!

I just left Bordeaux Fine Wines because none of us were paying tax on our earnings and our company bank account just got frozen because most of our clients don't own their wine

So are you suggesting that BFW is another bogus Wine Investment Company?

Don't fall for the old wine investment scam. I know fool is easily parted with his money, but I'm sure you're not a fool.

Danger wine investment 3: Bordeaux Fine Wines

http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/investigations/2013 ... ent-3-borde.htm

BY ANDREW PENMAN ON MARCH 28, 2013 9:47 AM IN INVESTMENTS

Bordeaux Fine Wines Limited has been brought to our attention by an angry reader who told us: "My father is getting a lot of cold calls from them, they won't take no for an answer."

The firm's latest accounts make fascinating reading.

The total number of employees is zero, yet it achieved a turnover of almost £18million.

There's a single director, 29-year-old Kenneth Gundlach, who lives in a mansion, bought for £2.7million, in exclusive Kingswood, Surrey.

He is the sole shareholder and paid himself dividends of £4.2million in the latest financial year.

Apart from asking them why they are pestering people who have asked not to be called, we wanted to know where their office is - a reasonable enough question, you might think.

The address given on their letterhead of 43-45 Portman Square is a Regus block, where we were told they just "sometimes use the meeting room".

Their website has a section labelled "meet the team" but there's no one in it - so we asked Gundlach if we could be introduced to this elusive bunch.

Another question: They say "We're very proud of our quarterly magazine, Bordeaux" but haven't published it since May 2012 - why not?

He hasn't replied.

PETER SAID:
This guy pays his brokers 15 percent commission from 18 million that equals 2.7 million plus his 4.2 million in dividend that equals 6.9 million plus his rent and other operating costs lets say 7.5 million
7.5 out of 18 how much is the mark up at least 70 percent how is this company not being investigated more than this

A friend I know runs a cafe down the road where they buy sandwiches from and the stories he tells me!!!! They all have fake names, they are running an illegal ponzi scheme (paying investors returns from other investors investing). They promise investors they can exit them but they cant its totally ill-liquid. The whole company is a ton of bricks waiting to collapse, but not to worry everyone is getting caught out and nicked, as did all the land bankers recently. Its so toe-curling what they do, they dress like gordon gecko but instead walk into a shabby block in croydon. How they sleep at night god knows, most of their clients are 55-60+. All I can say is what goes around, comes around! Problem is they mentally train themselves to believe its a good investment even though they are robbing elderly peoples ISA's and savings.

I am so worried my father has invested with these around £50,000, yet I can buy his portfolio on wine searcher for £30,000, and that's if they are all cases of 12, it doesn't state on his paperwork how many in a case, and when he asked the bloke on the other end of the phone was really not very convincing, I showed my father what I could buy his wine for and he spoke to his broker who informed him "his wine is vintage" which is why his cost more! he is obviously laughing at my father for buying his ridiculous statement and it has got to the point where me and my father are falling out, as he truly believes every word this guy is saying, I have tried to explain to my elderly father that yes his wine is vintage and when we did the search the vintage year was searched for but he is just not getting it, he thinks that this is a legitimate company and no company is allowed to do this so he is not in danger of losing any money!, also when he brought the wine it was stated that on his paperwork that he would receive account details in his name from the bonded warehouse, he has never received this and when he questioned it was told that it was stored in an umbrella account in their name, which wasn't what was supposed to happen, I really feel there is not much else I can do for my father as he is not willing to listen to me or the evidence, hope nobody else gets caught out and really do hope what goes around comes around!

Just read BFW terms and conditions regarding Liability&Warranty to him.

I'm sorry to say your father has lost his money. Ask your father to ask his broker for some proof that his name is real that will prove EVERYTHING. Any money his name sounds like a billionnaire posh high flier like "Charles Brocolli". I can give you the details of the office block if you like in croydon where they work and front the address from. Wait until you see the cars they drive, that's why they need to make the mark up big.

No such thing as terms and conditions with a "Spank Shop" they do whatever they please and charge however much they want. They are not interested in terms and conditions, no one even pays tax there.
