Oh dear, personal insults... I don't think Simon Stanborough likes his new pension scam website http://www.thepensionexchange.co.uk being exposed on here.

I'm sure the many people that got suckered in by PBL and lost their pension funds might care that your now trying to operate again with a new name, as I think might the FSA and the Pensions Regulators when I contact them and make them aware of that fact.

Im sure they won't find you though again this time when they raid the barn listed as your address on the Pension Exchange Website ;-)

It's all perfectly legal and above board, now trot on and get a life and leave people to make a living you loser.

"It's all perfectly legal and above board" HAHAHAHA PLEASE TELL ANOTHER ONE!

If it's all legal and above board, why did you shut down pension lending, open up a marketing company a few days later, set up a new website offering the same product, relocate to another location and get investigated by the times?

The reason we don't get caught is because we are too damn good. I don't care if I got caught out on one or two products, just adds to the fun. If a few people lose their pensions, it doesn't matter as long as I get paid. Thanks for the interest - Dan

You really are a scumbag aren't you daniel barclay? Don't worry, slimeballs like you all get what's coming to them sooner or later. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I have got what's coming to me...... an new 911 next week.

With any luck, you, Simon Stanborough, and Anthony Chewins will also have a prison sentence coming your way soon too!

Nearly 500 UK scheme members could be forced to repay long-term loans as soon as this autumn, if the High Court establishes their schemes are void.

The six schemes in question utilise pension reciprocation plans (PRP), a method that sees members borrow up to 50% of the value of another scheme’s member’s pension as arrangement, usually repaid with interest over 20-30 years.

But earlier this year, the Pensions Regulator appointed Dalriada Trustees to take control of these schemes, previously administered by Ark Business Consulting and its associated companies, after becoming concerned about the status of these arrangements.

Dalriada Trustees then chose McGrigors law firm to bring the clarifications before the High Court last month. Katharine Davies, partner at the firm, told PM if the court finds the schemes to be invalid, the 450-plus members will find themselves asked to pay back money taken out through the PRP.

“If it’s the case that these arrangements are void, they could be unwound and the money will be required to be paid back to the schemes,” said Davies. “The message to trustees is they should proceed with caution when it comes to this sort of arrangement.”

The six schemes are Cranborne Star Pension Scheme, Grosvenor Parade Pension Scheme, Tallton Place Pension Scheme, The Lancaster Pension Scheme, The Portman Pension Scheme and Woodcroft House Pension Scheme.

I'm so glad i found this site. I had a call from pension backed loans this week offering me a loan and investment opportunities using my pension to put solar panels on my home. They made it sound wonderful, almost too good to be true which is why I googled them and found you all! When they phone back I'll  tell them I'm not interested. Thank you very much.

...looks like Simon has been trying to close it after that horse has already bolted: http://whois.domaintools.com/thepensionexchange.com

But at least we will always remember its your site Simon ;-)

thankyou for this - I was just about to sign up with the pension exchange

Yet another dodgy Chewins & Spicer pension scam website to beware of: http://www.watchyourpensiongrow.co.uk

This one is advertising on the web, again promoting their solar panels pension loan "investment" and now also asking for an "arrangement fee of £395.00 plus V.A.T"

As on previous sites of theirs whois is registered in Gary Spicer's son's name: http://whois.domaintools.com/watchyourpensiongrow.co.uk

It does seem as some of the people that I thought might have been scaremongering a bit, those with some vested interest perhaps, were right.

http://www.moneymarketing.co.uk/pensions/pens ... 1039551.article

I am a bit of a duffer when it comes to this sort of thing,but it seems to me that the victims will have to pay back the loans that they took out, plus interest and cover all the high administration costs of the transfer. There is now the additional substantial cost of legal fees and this Dalriada firm's fees that will be deducted from pension investors funds.  Have I read this right?

If that were not bad enough, it now appears that the "funds" have no realisable value. So where is the money?

Which firm was behind the design and administration of this pension loan scheme? I don't mean the salesmen as they are, well, salesmen.

This is more of interest, from the FSA. A warning about Cashmypension.

http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/Doing/Regulated/Law/pdf/cash-my-pension.pdf

http://whois.domaintools.com/cashmypension.co.uk

Cashmypension.co.uk is registered to one "Gary Starr" (no idea), interestingly if you look up who owns the .com version of that domain you will find that it is registered to premier pension solutions.

http://whois.domaintools.com/cashmypension.com

Registrant:
  premier pension solutions

  Domain Name: CASHMYPENSION.COM

  Domain servers in listed order:
     NS29.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
     NS30.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

Also found a City Wire article warning about them sending out unsolicited marketing emails: http://citywire.co.uk/new-model-adviser/alarm ... on-pots/a490714

On further perusal of the City Wire article noticed that "Lothian, co-director of Dundee-based Verus Chartered Financial Planners, received a marketing email from cashmypension.com" - thats the .com registered to premier pension solutions, not the co.uk registered to Gary Starr blacklisted by the FSA.

further down "According to an email from Gary Starr, who promotes the firm, pension funds are transferred to a contracted-out defined contribution (DC) scheme." - so Gary Starr was promoting cashmypension.com which is registered to Premier Pension Solutions, kind of proves the 2 sites and ownership of both are interlinked.

So just trying to get my head around where Colin Harris fits in with all this, a quick recap in order I think  

* Convicted fraudster & "Dirty Rat" Colin Harris was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison in 2001 for 37 charges of theft and one of fraudulent trading, defrauding elderly couples out of more than £300,000 - http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/archive/2001 ... YOU_DIRTY_RAT_/

* Colin Harris of Harris Financial Management 54 King Edward Avenue
Moordown Bournemouth, Dorset BH9 1TZ registers cashfrompensions.com (now shutdown) on 16 March 2011 - http://whois.domaintools.com/cashfrompensions.com

* According to various sources including the thread on moneysavingexpert linked below Colin Harris at cashfrompensions.com was taking (stealing?) £295 as an introductory fee per enquiry to his site, then guess who he was passing them on to... PREMIER PENSION SOLUTIONS no less!  What a surprise that they would be in bed together! http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?p=42813360

There is an update to that article you posted.

http://citywire.co.uk/new-model-adviser/fsa-w ... s-alarm/a535732

So, there is a warning about this firm. Is that it? Just a warning not to deal with the firm? If concerns were raised about this such a long time ago, why is the FSA only doing something now?

This reminds me of the standard joke Americans make about British police " Stop now! If you don't stop now I will shout don't stop again!" Are there any sanctions imposed? If not, why not just get a new domain and do it all again?
