I also got a contact from them, and I actually do live in Tunbridge Wells! Very pleasnt warm syrup conversation with a gent called Ethan, trying to sell shares in a LSE listed mining co at a below market price due to "a trust fund over allocation". Three calls over several days, I admit I was distracted on other things so didnt do any background. Then the call for cash comes, about £20K wanted, so I wake up and do checking.
Phone number is a VOIP allocated phone and is clearly not a Tunbridge Wells number, website was only registered in November this year (did a simple "whois" search). The site is a cut & paste job from others (http://www.hendersonglobalcarefunds.net/).
The real Henderson Group were most helpful when I called and pointed to their website warning on impersonators. The alleged company did call back to get my email address to send papers through; I declined to confirm and said that I believed that they were a scam and I had reported them appropriately. 100% for bravado as they at first tried to say there had been some misunderstandings, but I said that I would be happy to speak to their external legal advisors if they thought I was wrong.
They never called back, a shame as I was looking forward to the sport.
I see they have redone their website and are now calling themselves Sterling Finance AG and using an address at Rue de Romont 14 CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland. This is obviously some sort of virtual office as there are quite a few companies registered there. In total 9 companies registered to this address are in liquidation.
They are still using the same URL from the Henderson scam http://henderson-funds.com but the same website appears at the following URL http://sterlingfinanceag.com/
http://sterlingfinanceag.com/ was registered on 10 October this year in the Seychelles.
