Kent Investment Scam Investigation

An investigation into Kent-based companies linked to cross-border advance fee fraud allegations originating from Switzerland.

Tunbridge Wells Operations

The UK arm of the Corinth Group of Switzerland network operates from Pluto House, 4 The Mews, Brook Street, Tunbridge Wells TN2 5DN. This address hosts Three Tuns Investment Holdings Ltd (14242045), which serves as the parent company for a tree of UK SPVs (special purpose vehicles) [Companies House].

Complainant Accounts

Complainants describe being introduced to UK-based representatives who presented professional term sheets for corporate funding. The term sheets referenced UK registered companies, lending credibility to the arrangement. Advance fees were collected — typically EUR 20,000 to EUR 80,000+ — but no complainant reports receiving the promised funding. Some complainants report that the UK SPV mentioned in their term sheet was never incorporated or was dissolved shortly after [complainant reports; Companies House].

Reporting to UK Authorities

Affected persons can report to: Action Fraud (the UK national fraud reporting centre), the FCA (for unauthorised financial services), Companies House (for director misconduct), the Insolvency Service (for director disqualification), and HMRC (for companies not meeting filing or tax obligations). The investigation recommends filing reports with multiple authorities simultaneously.
