Landbanking scams reach £200million - and here's a couple at the heart of this vile industry - Investigations

Landbanking scams reach £200million - and here's a couple at the heart of this vile industry - Investigations:

'via Blog this'Jeanette Chandler proved more elusive. Besides the Jag, there was also an Alpha Romeo convertible Spider parked in their drive with the plate PLO7 SEL.
When we later spotted the car and asked the driver if she was Jeanette, she yelled "No" and drove off.
Just as untalkative was Darren Butt, below, who was a director of Land Strategy along with 37-year-old Kevin Hilton of Ormskirk, Lancs.

We found Butt, 42, at his detached house with electronic gates in the picturesque Lincolnshire village of West Stockwith.
A pair of Audis with matching personal licence plates - an A3 and a monstrous Q7 4x4 - stood in the drive and the river Trent flowed past the bottom of his garden.
It was a brief conversation. Butt was busy taking delivery of a new washing machine and said he'd call us later. He never did.
Hilton and Butt have been banned from acting as company directors for 12 years each - just three years less than the maximum ban.
Jack Chandler now says that he's in the insurance business: "I am not selling land, or acting for people who are."
We're not so sure. To find out what is really said in landbanking sales pitches, we registered with several estate agents as someone interested in investing in land and were contacted by an organisation called UK Land Agent.
Its website uklandagent.co.uk is registered to Delund Marketing Limited, which has two directors - Jack and Jeanette Chandler. Click here to read their sales pitch.

VIV SAID:
Hi Karl, yes unfortunately it is true. I purchased some land at Studley too. If you paid by credit card, get in touch with them you can try to make a claim under Section 75 of the consumers act 1974. This is what I'm trying to do. Also become a member of Land Strategy Victims site. Just google it.
