Middle of last week a new person - Nicholas - contacted us and spent 2 hours on the phone trying to extract more funds. First of all we were informed that we only had a "standard" account, but if we were prepared to invest $15,000 more, they would "loan" us $35,000 to top the account up to $100,000, at which point we were magically promoted to the "Gold Account". He attempted to explain all the benefits but we told him in no uncertain terms that NO WAY were we putting any more funds into what was starting to present as a scam. Then he changed the pitch - that we could withdraw the money right now, but we had to prepay, to them, the capital gains tax, before they could release our money. This was the way they controlled "money laundering". Anybody who has any understanding of how HMRC works knows that capital gains tax calculations are specific to your circumstances and are your responsibility to pay directly to HMRC within 30 days of accrual. He promised to get back to us during the course of last week, but not unexpectedly, no further contact has been achieved. This morning his phone just rang out.
