Has anyone heard from either of these companies (sterling PDI or sports-intelligence) recently,
I received a voicemail from one of the advisors the other day there to talk about the opportunity i was offered!!??!?, i subsequently called their previous number and they never answer as I would like to know exactly what great opportunity i'm missing out on (given the current situation with the owners!). Unless its the 60% pa they told me about b4.
Do any of the clients on this board have any info!
I was a client of Sterling PDI.
One day I couldn’t get hold of them. I tried numerous times over a weeks period and was initially pissed off.
After about 8 or 9 days I received a phone call from Dean Falmer of Sports Intelligence. He told me the office in Spain for Sterling PDI had been turned over, apparently there was a rogue trader (Nick Leeson Style), and apparently a duplicate website was setup.
The Spanish police froze the Sterling PDI bank account alongside the duplicate Sterling PDI bank account and the director was advised by the police that Russians were involved in setting up the duplicate website and bank account, and there is an ongoing investigation into this.
For security the director decided it was best to close one of the Spanish offices and run the company from the offices in Hong Kong and England as the director didn’t know who the mole in the company was.
I have done some research and from what I have read in the papers over the last few years is that Russian gangsters have been involved in many duplicate identity thefts with companies etc. Just recently PaddyPower.com Ireland biggest bookmaker has had similar problems, and the police are now investigating Russian crime syndicates.
I tend to believe what I was told by Dean Falmer and Sports Intelligence, as identity theft of companies is happening a lot these days. I asked Dean Falmer for my five thousand pound loan back as I was concerned about what had happened in the last month and they paid me my full five thousand pound back within a week of asking.
I was very pleased to get my money back and was dealt with very professionally by Dean Falmer and Sports Intelligence.
Sports Intelligence company is Spain called Four Corner Systems Spain SL has been audited by the tax authorities there. I know this because my lawyer has bought their accounts from Spanish companies house and I and my lawyer have been over them.
Also as well, I was told by Dean Falmer that the accounts from Sports Intelligence will be completed within a months time for the English company. The reason he told me the Sports Intelligence accounts were late, was quite simply there was a lot of small betting transactions over the last few years, and its been a mammoth task to prepare the accounts for companies house in England and apparently with the law being the way it is, before the director will put his signature on the English accounts he has to make sure everything is true and correct by law, which any business man can understand.
I was almost tempted to reloan my five thousand pounds with another five thousand pounds more since they have behaved very professionally and they do still have a great concept, but I was told by Dean Falmer come September 1st the company will be paying back the remaining loans who have finished, and pay back existing loans to clients over a period of 6 months to a year.
Dean Falmer told me that the director enjoys the business immensely, but with everything that’s happened over the last year he wants to remain low key with as little stress as possible in his life, as he is a wealthy guy and doesn’t need the stress and he will be giving a chance to people that loan money to the company that meet the liquidity criteria a chance to come onboard a hedge fund that’s regulated in Hong Kong and audited by Deloitte and Touche which will be the 3rd party administrators.
It sounds very good to me.
