Initial means of contact In person
Early Sept. After using one of the comparison sites for a Cash Isa on 9 Sept I was contacted by Schroders and offered a 1 year Cash Isa at 1.95% after a couple of days I was contacted by Leonard who gave me details and emailed me some paperwork. I researched the company using the Companies House Register and the documentation appeared perfectly In order, I agreed to open 2 accounts and gave the company my details they sent me their paying in details which I decided to put in a small amount to hold the rate at their suggestion. After putting in the initial amount into one account I was concerned that the Banking details were for MAFK Management so I did not proceed with the second amount. I immediately rang the bank to report my actions and they took up the case of getting my initial amount back, to no avail, I then contacted Schroders and asked about their Cash Isa dept and was told they did not offer any Cash ISAs, I was contacted the next day by a chap called Robert Senior of the compliance dept and asked why I had only made 1 small deposit. I have been contacted a couple of times but refuse to take the calls on advice given. I have since registered with Action Fraud and CIFAS. Would be interested if anyone else has come across this scam. The bank are still looking into it
