cheque from the FSA
So it looks like we can finally put this to bed, just had a letter from the FSA with a bit more cash (next to nothing) and a letter saying that's that, no more to come as Upton is now bankrupt.

I've placed this on a separate thread as it was tacked to to an unrelated thread.

FSA email about Darren Upton Currency Scheme.
Has anyone else had an email from the FSA about the Upton Currency scheme today?
Anyone got any idea about the contents of the letter they are sending out which has to go to your home address and they won't email details off.
I'm guessing it's not a refund cheque for money still owing from the scheme (run by Darren Upton the convicted fraudster), more likely a demand to repay some of the money already return to pay off the victims from his corporation tax fraud.Tags: None
