for about two weeks now, someone from european mediation is trying to get me pay their company a 10, % upfront fee for getting compensating from a boilerroom company called Portman West which operated from Frankfurt am Main Germany but according to EM was located in Spain. They refer to the crime compensation program from the European Union
(www.ec.europa.eu/civiljustice) which offers an indemnisation for
people in the EEC victims of crime. They propose to "bundle" a claim for at least 30 persons and to get compenstion in a time frame of 16 to 18 month. Does anyone else has purchases shares through Portman &West Financial Services which appear to be worthless and had been contacted by EM?

TONY HETHERINGTON: READERS' CHAMPION

Hetherington: Euopean Mediation scam | Boiler room boss jailed

8 February 2009

Every week, Tony Hetherington replies to readers' letters, adding comments, advice and the results of his enquiries.


If you think you are a victim of financial mismanagement, or want advice before investing, write to Tony Hetherington, Financial Mail, 2 Derry Street, London W8 5TS. Sorry, but he cannot give personal replies. Please only send copies of original documents, which, we regret, cannot be returned...

A.T. writes: I am writing to you about my shares in Carbug. I have been approached by a company called European Mediation Limited which says its legal team can recover my money from a European Union compensation fund set up to repay victims of fraud. However, I have been asked to pay ten per cent of the amount I lost in Carbug to cover legal fees.

Let's not beat about the bush saying that maybe European Mediation can somehow get back the money you paid for shares in security firm Carbug, even if you cannot quite see where the compensation will come from.

Instead, let's be blunt. Carbug was a scam. European Mediation is another scam. There is no EU fund to repay fraud victims. Your money has gone - but I suspect that you know this already.

European Mediation Limited was set up last August. Its sole director, who also doubles as company secretary, is Peter Francis Garlick, 65, who is described in Companies House records as a 'musical technician'. The fiddle perhaps?

Garlick's website boasts of 'our own in-house legal counsel' as well as an international network of specialist lawyers who will gather evidence, 'enforce legislation changes' and ensure that charges are filed. And as well as contacting victims of the Carbug share fraud, whose organiser Tony Rose was jailed for five years in 2006, Garlick's telephone sales staff have also been busy ringing up people who lost money through failed Spanish land company Fortuna Estates.

They even told one victim who lost money to an American firm in New Jersey that they could help him, though the US is some way outside the EU. And they have promised aid to investors who put their money into property after attending seminars run by the now collapsed Inside Track group, despite there being no allegation of fraud against it.

People contacted by European Mediation have been told that its head office is at Jaguar House, in Harthill Street, Manchester, so I went there to have a chat with Garlick about the impossible promises made by his staff.

The building, in Manchester's rundown rag-trade district, is home to several companies and is linked to local businessman Stephen Gilbey, who was briefly a director of European Mediation last year.

But there was no sign of Garlick and his company, let alone his sales staff and in-house counsel. They had moved to Rochdale, I was told.

So I followed them and found European Mediation's new address - a modest semi-detached house in Pearson Close, occupied only by a dog. Garlick, his sales staff and his in-house counsel were not at home.

I pushed a note through the door, asking him to call me, but he didn't. I also left messages on his company's three British phone numbers, but nobody called me back.

Perhaps they have all moved again, which might explain why some people say they were rung up from a Spanish phone number, despite the salesman's protests that he really was in Manchester or Rochdale. And those ten per cent fees certainly do go to Rochdale, to an account at HSBC Bank in Yorkshire Street. Or perhaps they move on too. Don't send a penny.

The company has now cropped up on Tony Hetherington's column in Money Mail.

I too am a victim of the Fortunaland investment. Everything Im reading is about EM. What is more to the point is not their validity, but how do we retrieve our investment. Whats the next move.

We are also victims of Inside Track and European Mediation. Unfortunately we did not do our homework early enough and have handed over our money. We are now trying to get our money back from the company which as we all know may not be at all possible.

Would appreciate any advice from anyone who can advise on getting our money back.

There must be something we can do to stop these bogus company from operating and preying on innocent people.

We too have been a victim of both Inside Track and European Mediation. Unfortunately we did not do our homework in time and handed over our money.

Promptly afterwards Jessical Walker and anyone else to speak to about anything became unavailable, they report to be continually having problems with their telephone system, do not seem to be able to get it fixed.

They now want our passport numbers which really gave us the eebby jeebies and will not be entering into any contract with them.

We are now in the process of asking for our money back which we all know is not be forthcoming but we are still trying.

We would appeciate any advice from anyone in our situation on how we can put pressure on this company to give back monies they have taken off innocent people and how to bring them and other bogus companies like themselves to justice.
