In the group was a lawyer and others who had the skills needed. We got everyone on board to pursue our case and to keep us updated via the blog on our website.

It went to court on the IOM and we won. Everyone in the group got their money back in block amounts: their savings and investments with interest. It took us 10 years!....It was a long haul. The management of the bank was investigated by the police in Iceland and some of them ended up in prison.

What I am saying is this ...."Where there is a will, there is a way".
I thought Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander depositors compensation was limited to £10000 Phil?

It's for this reason I tend to spread my savings over a few different UK banks, that way, if any go into administration then you are covered by the deposit guarantee scheme for up to £85000.

Anyway, I suspect there will be a lot of broken trails involved the chase of this particular shyster, but hopefully he will get his just desserts, and the people he fleeced, their money back

All I can do Brian is to give you a truthful reply. The people including ourselves in our group, had our money returned, not all at once as it came in dribs and drabs over 10 years.

Well the main thing is you got your money back in full, a relative of mine who worked for a company based in Douglas wasn't quite as fortunate

We had funds in Kaupthing at the time of the collapse. I seem to recall at the time, Gordon Brown stated that as a one off, all funds would be covered over and above the FCSC limit. Indeed, a friend of mine had in excess of £100k with them, and he eventually got every penny. It took some time though.

Thanks Brian I am very sorry to hear about your relative. Off-shore bank accounts in those days attracted higher interest rates than on the mainland, but with that came higher risks in not being covered by the guarantees and legislation, you now have today in the UK.

"t's for this reason I tend to spread my savings over a few different UK banks, that way, if any go into administration then you are covered by the deposit guarantee scheme for up to £85000" - Brian, clearly there are no flies on you

I would suggest they will be very unlikely to get their money back, it will be long gone, but putting a group complaint into the police, they may well be able to have him traced and have stopped from fleecing any more good people of their hard earned. Doing nothing, he will be allowed to continue.

I dont know if this has been put up before, and I am likely wrong and giving false leads, but had been reading all of your woes, and was wanting to nosy at his facebook etc, without finding anything recent. Most recent was an Italian fellow complaining about non delivery - so the problem is likely to be Europewide if not worldwide. Surely a class action would be feasible like Gatekeeper is hinting towards.

I recall seeing some ads a few years ago on a BMW website. It was these ads that stopped me from ordering from him. He was blowing smoke up their arses too. Has anyone scoured the net for other marques' clubs/forums for his frauds?

I tried to find out if Canada have a similar format to our Company House, that perhaps could yield an address for folk to direct any law enforcement to. The closest I could find was a Zoom Info page.

36 Wharncliffe Rd S
London, Ontario


"current resident" apparently an S Archibald.

which looks to be a residential address, but that to me is how I imagined he operated (from home). also listed as Honda Radios

perhaps Luke can help?

This got me thinking, about how he operated. Was he a wholsesaler based in Canada, or was he a regional rep of sorts for a parent company like Qualir? (their websites' addresses are different, but a hell of a coincidence). (whois is a little confusing as it suggests the website is closed when investigating further, since 2015) Did he steal their name for his own use? Was he working for them, and did a bit on the side, subsequently being fired from them? There seems to be little information about him. I do not think he purposely set out to swindle everyone. Although I believe something happened, be it personal or with his employment status, and he has dealt with it by burying his head firmly up his own rectal cavity. Perhaps even in jail for fraud (?) - I cannot find anywhere to order something from him (I wanted to ask questions about ordering, via a contact us option).

Again my apologies if this has been mentioned somewhere else and I have missed it.

EDIT: I am not saying above that S. Archibald or Luke are Sean, or suggesting Sean used a pseudonym. It seems the address I linked to is divided into 3 apartments (this is apparent in the sales listing)

My younger brother was part of a UK task force with the FBI tracking down and prosecuting internet paedophiles, so the technology and the skills is there.

Who is up to the task for the next step?

The ones in this thread who have lost out, how about it, which of you is the most vocal, articulate to make the complaint. Whoever it is, must have the motivation and follow up to make it stick?

The ones affected by Sean, need satisfaction and resolution.
Come on, be brave and step up to the task.

I feel for you people who have lost out, I have dug around and found a few small snippets that may be of use. Maybe you already have this information ...

As has been said this all needs collating. I think Jeff and Tony need to "spill the beans" on their dealings as well as any "banter" in communications may give clues as to his actual location / interests / etc. that will lead to tracking this slippery person down.

I am not implying that Jeff and Tony were in any way complicit with his actions.

If you all want to go further with this, you have to assume he is monitoring this thread closely and I think putting all the information on here is giving too much away, so I will gladly PM a coordinator of my small findings.

I would only be too happy to give any info that I have. Which is minimumal, i have no address or contact number for "Sean Moore"if that is what his true name was? When I needed to contact it was either by email or Skype. The only thing I have was a banking account name, which was not inthe name of Sean Moore and his sort code and account number. I too have had money that I have lost,in my dealings with "Sean" so I stand with the other members on this forum and possibly other forums trying to get their money back.
