Neglect Assist has been featured on the influential financial website The Money Magpie, raising warnings about investing in Australian land.
According to the article:
“Neglect Assist, a law firm which specialises in protecting people who have lost money following negligent financial advice, have had two of their clients stung by these schemes.”
One client was offered a “Green Oil Investment” involving a minimum £10,000 stake in a defined plantation area where trees were being grown to produce bio-fuel. The investor was promised rental payments over five or eight years and a land buyback.
Another Neglect Assist client invested £30,000 in Australian farmland after being reassured it was a “low risk” opportunity—an outcome that proved otherwise.
