The Financial Services Commission (‘FSC’) in Gibraltar has issued a warning to the public about the address: Garrison House, Library Ramp, Gibraltar
Please read it:
http://www.fsc.gi/enforcement/fscwarning0020.htm
This follows repeated references to this address as the Gibraltar office of unlicensed entities, which have been carrying on financial services business and have been the subject of enquiries received at the FSC.
The FSC’s investigations have shown that the majority of entities that claim to be at this address are not incorporated in Gibraltar and often have no discernible presence in any other jurisdiction and which may well be bogus. Their sole link to this address appears to be as recipients of a mail forwarding service.
You’ll never guess which known companies are registered or linked to this address, Garrison House, Library Ramp, Gibraltar….
- Club Class International PLC
- Club Class Concierge Ltd
- Club Class Holdings Ltd
- Club Class Services sarl
- Club Class Plc
- Global Vacations Ltd
- Reclaim Ltd
- Leisure Alliance
- Casback Europe Plc
- ITRA…
The FSC’s link states that generally timeshare schemes and holiday clubs do not fall within the remit of the FSC as they are not carrying on a financial services business as defined in our legislation.
Then, if timeshare schemes and holiday clubs do not fall with their remit, why do they mention it?
Why do FSC invite persons with concerns about timeshare companies, cashback schemes or holiday clubs to contact the Department of Consumer Affairs (Government of Gibraltar) on (+350) 20050788 or (+350) 20044871 or by email to conaffairs@gibtelecom.net?
Yes. You are reading my mind.
Will it be because they are receiving complaints from timeshare owners and other consumers regarding companies registered at this address: Garrison House, Library Ramp, Gibraltar?
If this is your case, I invite you to contact the Department of Consumer Affairs of Gibraltar.
I have had a phone call today 25th February 2013 from a ms. sahara Ashton from Leisure Allience plc quoting my club class no; saying that they will compansate us of our money we shed out for club class giving us 75% of the value but we have to send £750 for liability insurance, ( which I know is a con just to get the £750 out of us for doing nothing. She was very convincing until she started to try & rush me for a desSision, beware they are at it again.
About time too!. Will be writing again to conaffairs@gibtelecom.net I received a very terse response last time I contacted them, I didn’t think they were aware the misuse of that address. Power to the people!
