Yes, Appleyard was a director but was not aware that refunds were not being made
Matthew Appleyard was a manager of the two rogue companies but had no access to
the banks or the admin and Trust formulations.
Both became involved with GOLDSTAR LAW and engaged the same sales consultants
because of their experience in selling trusts. These representatives certainly had no involvement
in the internal administration of these companies.

GOLDSTAR LAW has offered to repay the cancellation refunds as a gesture.

The legal firms involved in setting up the trusts for GOLDSTAR LAW are firms who have no interest in GOLDSTAR LAW and are regulated by the SRA. They are simply in place to ensure that the trusts are
secure and registered accordingly.

Webfusion :-( Profiting from crime, the scam Will Writer's registrar #1 choice

I have read that Identity Protect Limited t/a Identity Protection Service, PO Box 795, Godalming, Surrey. GU7 9GA is a scam operation that registers lots of the scam artists' sites who wish to conceal their true identity from us and the cursory glance of the under-resourced trading standards officer.

Some of these data criminals are complained about on whocallsme. Identity Protect Limited run their own servers with Webfusion, and are linked to crime networks in Germany, London, Manchester , Liverpool and the Midlands.

You will see lots of postings on here telling you NOT complain to the ICO & TPS because they are "useless". Ignore them. Two of the syndicate were recently fined £440,000 by the ICO because of our complaints and this cost the crime syndicate introducer fees.
https://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/01614750375

The frequent "not worth reporting" posts are made by the syndicate to discourage us from contacting the ICO. TPS pass the complaints on to the ICO, so are equally slated.

Report EACH non-compliant call to the ICO. They require evidence to act.

Likewise, report each and every scam attempt to Action Fraud. Attempted fraud is still a crime.
www.actionfraud.police.uk

Magrathea Telecomms are another scam operation with Columbian connections and work with Identity Protect Limited and Webfusion

If you see any of the above names or addresses in a whois do NOT deal with the company or website.

Likewise, if Magrathea Telecomms is the callers' telecom provider, avoid them.

At best you will be supporting crime and at worst you will end up being defrauded.

Google the names above and the word scam if you are in any doubt.

Will-writing scammer up to no good Gerald Barton down under.
By Andrew Penman on May 22, 2013 11:00 PM in Rogue traders

It was a delight to watch Gerald Barton, king of will-writing scams, squirm in front of the camera.

We first came across him in 2001 when he charged customers extra for secure storage of the wills he had drawn up, and then dumped 12,000 of them in a barn.

A later operation of his, Nationwide Legal Services, was put into compulsory liquidation in the High Court, which said it was scandalously run, and in 2008 Barton, 64, was banned from acting as a company director for 11 years.

Last year we warned that Barton had set up business in Australia.

He changed his name to Garry Lewis but the team on a television current affairs programme recognised him from the pictures that we've run.

"Garry Lewis, is that your name today?" began their reporter when they cornered "the debonair-looking English con man". That's Barton below in the blue suit and yellow tie.

Barton scampered away, refusing to discuss his Australian Legal Consultancy which claimed that there was a fortune to be made from writing wills at $1,500 a pop - almost £1,000 - but first you had to pay him £6,500 to join his business.

The show branded the venture a fraud, saying it couldn't possibly work in a country where a lawyer will draw up a will for just $150.

"He is a scumbag," said one of his potential victims. The man is clearly a fine judge of character.

Adam, you try ringing them then you'll have your eyes opened

They have finally been sentenced for their crimes:

FRAUD GANG JAILED FOR ROLES IN SCAM THAT NETTED MORE THAN £500k

http://www.nottinghampost.com/Fraud-gang-jail ... tail/story.html

Members of a gang that targeted unsuspecting pensioners by pretending to be experts in wills and trusts law have been jailed for more than 12 years.

Salesmen – with no legal training - posed as 'legal consultants', visited elderly victims in their own homes and told them that they could protect their property and savings from future care home fees by putting them into a 'Trust' document.

They told scare stories and pressurised them into making up front payments of around £2,000 for what they called a 'Family Prosperity Trust' or 'Estate Preservation Trust'. The gang took over £250,000 in each of the two years that they were operating.

Nottinghamshire County Council's Trading Standards team successfully prosecuted eight people, who committed the fraud trading under the names 'Inheritance Protection Services', 'Inheritance & Probate Solutions Ltd' and 'Goldstar Law Ltd."

All three operated from rented units in Newark, but used postal addresses in London.

The eight involved were: Joseph Croft, 53, of Rhodes House, Sleaford; Alan Appleyard, 71, of Low Bentley, in Halifax; Matthew Appleyard, 42,also of Low Bentley, Halifax; Joy Bell, 55, of Ridgeview Road, Bracebridge Heath; Adam Nichols, 46, of Farndon Road, in Newark; Adrian Large, 51, of Cosgrove Close, Lincoln; Paul Fox, 58, of Stanley Close, Widnes; and Paul Gorman, 56, of Montrose Court, in Liverpool.

Croft, Matthew Appleyard and his father Alan Appleyard ran the businesses, initially employing Joy Bell as their 'Head of Legal'. Mrs Bell posed as a legal expert but in reality had no legal qualifications. All four admitted Fraudulent Trading and Legal Services Act offences.

'Legal Consultants' Large, Nichols, Fox and Gorman all admitted offences under the Fraud Act for their roles in peddling the trusts.

Croft received a four-and-half-year prison sentence, and Matthew and Alan Applecroft both received a four-year sentence at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, May 15. All three have been disqualified from holding a company director position for ten years.

Bell received a nine-month suspended prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, 200 hours of unpaid work and a curfew order, requiring her to stay at home from 9pm to 6am for six months.

Gorman and Fox received four-month prison sentencse, suspended for 18 months, 200 hours of unpaid community work, and have been ordered to pay £1,000 towards court costs.

Nichols and Large received a three-month prison sentence each, suspended for 18 months, a 200 hours of community work and will also pay £1,000 towards court costs.

Councillor Glynn Gilfoyle, Committee Chairman for Community Safety at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: "We welcome the outcome of this court case. People were duped into believing these trusts were guaranteed to work but in fact they were ineffective and worthless.

"Many of the complainants are elderly and were subjected to pressure selling tactics. They were told that if they did not agree to purchase the trust on that day they would be charged for future visits and others were told stories of people who had delayed and then had to pay care home fees as a result."

An independent legal expert has confirmed that 'Deprivation of Assets' rules means these trusts would offer no protection from care home fees. Assets put into trusts in this way would still be included in the financial assessment that Local Authorities carry out when deciding whether to fund a care home place. In some situations the trust documents could actually make their financial position even worse.

Victims were given no warning that this could happen, and were told that the trusts were risk-free. Many were tricked into believing that they were dealing with an established and regulated law firm.

Cheques were often cashed within hours of sales taking place, meaning that they had no chance to think things over or consult with their families. Complaints and cancellations were routinely ignored. Over the two years that the scam was running, only a handful of people ever received the products that they had paid for.

Nottingham Crown Court found that the eight had admitted the following charges:

• Croft, Bell, Matthew Appleyard, and Alan Appleyard admitted a charge of fraudulent trading contrary to section 993(1) of the Companies Act 2006, between October 2011 and July 201,2 by carrying on the business trading as Inheritance and Probate Solutions Limited for a fraudulent purpose by obtaining payment for a Family Prosperity Trust. They also admitted a charge of carrying on a reserved legal activity when not entitled, contrary to section 14 of the Legal Services Act 2007, preparing trust documents, during the same period.

• Matthew and Alan Appleyard admitted a charge of fraudulent trading, contrary to section 993(1) of the Companies Act 2006, carrying on a business trading as Goldstar Law Limited, based at 7 & 8 Stephenson Court, on the Newark Industrial Estate, for fraudulent purposes, between May 2012 and July 2013, obtaining payment for a trust known as an Estate Preservation Trust. They also admitted charge of carrying on a reserved legal activity when not entitled, contrary to section 14 of the Legal Services Act 2007, preparing trust documents during the same period.

• Contrary to Section One of the Fraud Act 2006, Paul Gorman, Paul Fox, Adam Nichols and Adrian Large admitted to one count of fraud each.
