Australian Land Investments Warning – Neglect Assist Press Feature

Neglect Assist Featured in Money Magpie

Neglect Assist has been featured on the influential financial website The Money Magpie, raising warnings about investing in Australian land.

Two Clients Caught in Risky Overseas Schemes

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.

Bio-Fuel Plantation Scheme

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.

Farmland Investment Mis-Sold as ‘Low Risk’

Another Neglect Assist client invested £30,000 in Australian farmland after being reassured it was a “low risk” opportunity—an outcome that proved otherwise.
