I repeatedly warned folks about One True View and Appbox Media, two scams run by Mr Polat Hassan from a City boiler room which have snaffled c£30 million of investor cash. I alerted the FCA but, as you might expect, the floor shitters did nothing. So what news from One True View since it announced a £13 a share, £186 million, takeover back in late 2019.

Initially, I felt sorry for Maureen when I received an email from her last night. She had just stumbled on my work on Appbox Media, One True View and Eden Pharma. She says that she has everything invested in this trio, and she was “shocked” by what I had written – is she going to lose everything?

I have already dealt with the imminent demise of its sister company, One True View, where a sham £186 million bid evaporated and where the end is nigh. Now to Appbox Media, the first company set up by Polat Hassan as part of his City boiler room operation which has stolen £30m from naïve investors. The FCA was warned by me as long ago as November 2019 but natch has done nowt.

Appbox Media is the sister company of One True View and has stolen around £15 million of investors money with the FCA standing idly by ignoring this massive boiler room scam in the heart of the City. But while One True View is reinventing itself to steal more cash as revealed yesterday HERE, Appbox has filed for insolvency. But patsy director Amanda Hussey, the rather simple “fall guy” for the mastermind of this £50 million bezzle Polat Hassan, has now told a £5.4 million lie under oath. She urgently needs to get legal advice before Polat lands her in even more trouble than she is already in.

I will again urge the FCA to take immediate action to shut down the City boiler room tun by Mr Polat Hassan which has already stolen £15 million from investors after the latest missive from these criminals. This time it concerns not Appbox Media, which we have covered extensively on this site, but its sister company One True View.

The FCA is, almost two years after I first warned it, still doing nothing about the Appbox Media/One True View Boiler Room scam which has seen £35 million or more taken from private investors. Now I have yet more evidence of what a monumental fraud this is. But with the FCA seemingly not giving a toss, investors appear to be taking matters into their own hands.

Over a series of articles dating back to late 2019, I have shown beyond any reasonable doubt that Appbox Media/One True View are two parts of a giant boiler room scam. I now fear that more than £50 million has been raised from mug punters by high pressure salesmen and it is clear from recent statements that they will lose the lot. Yet still some folk seem unable to accept it. I received this email today.

Time and time again I warned on this website that Appbox Media and OneTrueView were boiler room scams. In all £65 million was stolen from investors who have lost everything. I did contact the FCA about this matter and in May this year, Mark Steward Executive Director, Enforcement and Market Oversight finally replied. He washed his hands of the matter which is good news for the chaps involved as they are at it again! Maybe they can take the total stealings to £100 million while the FCA sleeps.

Those behind One True View and its sister company, Appbox Media, have, via a City-based boiler room at 78 Cannon Street, where high-pressure salesmen earn vast commissions, raised c. £65 million – most of which has been stolen. The FCA insists there are no boiler rooms in the UK, so has done nothing. Thus, the farce has now entered a new chapter.

Thousands of folks have received hard sell phone calls during the past five years persuading them to invest in unlisted games developer Appbox Media. And thousands have parted with hard earned cash. There are now so many red flags flying that the FCA needs to investigate at once. Is this a games developer or a boiler room masquerading as a games developer.

By now those who have ploughed almost £30 million into Polat Hassan’s City boiler room scams One True View and Appbox Media which we have exposed on this website of late will have realised that they are set to lose everything. Meanwhile, as the FCA sits around doing nothing I fear this could get much wider, Meet Eden Pharma Ltd.

I have repeatedly warned about Eden Pharma. The folks targeted by boiler rooms pushing it and Aries were also targeted by folks raising £65 million for One True View and Appbox Media. As you can see below in a letter sent out to Aries and Eden investors the fuzz have swooped on multiple addresses and arrested one 40 year old.Published 1199 days ago

There are no guests in this week's show which is sponsored by Open Orphan PLC (ORPH). It is just me and I start with the idea of it's too good to be true at Intu (INTU) and that leads me on to look in some detail at the compelling bear case against all the housebuilders and what that means for other sectors and for you and me. Then I look at the 3 most overpromoted stocks on AIM, Bidstack (BIDS), Versarien (VRS) and AFC Energy (AFC), the common themes and why shares in all three will eventually collapse. But there is a warning for the bears too. Then it is onto the up to £15 million Appbox Media, One True View scandal I exposed this week HERE. If you like this and can't wait seven days for more of the same and are tired of being a cheapskate you should listen to my Bearcast every day.

Not surprisingly, our recent articles on AppBox Media have prompted a number of investors in the company to contact both me and also the company. From this I learn two things, neither of which change my view that this is all part of a massive boiler room scheme.
