Concerned about your wine investment? Offer of assistance by Grant Thornton UK

Where's my Margaux? Where's my Lafite? Where's my Latour? 

Cellars of Château Margaux

Following the BBC's Money Box item on wine investment last Saturday, plus Paul Lewis's appearance that day on BBC Breakfast, the spotlight is firmly on wine investment scams. In February I posted details of a scheme run by Grant Thornton who may be able to assist you if you feel that you have been ripped off. For example if you discover that the bonded warehouse, where you thought your precious wine investment was safely, has either no record of the company you dealt with company or no record of you. 

Here is the post with details of Grant Thornton's UK LLP FinD team. 

If there are another companies that offer a similar service to Grant Thornton, I will be happy to post details here. 

There will be more on wine investment on BBC Money Box on Saturday starting at noon.    

BBC Money Box on land banking scams

'Thousands of people are being persuaded to invest large sums of money in land which is almost worthless, the BBC has learned.

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) said it was investigating about 20 schemes, known as land-banking or land investments.'

Watch the video here of how one man was conned into 'investing' £100,000 in worthless fields.
