Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
When will these thick bastards realise that what happens to my business will not alter the fate of Quenron (QPP)? I keep accusing it of fraud and lying and although it blusters it will not actually sue me for libel because it is a fraud run by liars. And it will go bust. So as the Morons watch their life savings disappear here are a couple of things that they do.

Madness. To stoop to the depths of posting a bogus review of a restaurant, the success of which directly impacts the livelihood of those working there?
Beyond reprehensible.

I feel utterly sick at all this abuse and harrasment you and your folks have to endure. Its beyond any normal persons comprehension of why others should act in such a despicable and cowardly manner. Thoroughly agree, these Quindell lot have proven themselves over and over again to be totally undeserving of any sympathy to their predicament.
It say’s more than words where their moral compass lies, that they would rather support and ally themselves to liars, thieves, and fraudsters than to an honest bloke doing a bloody great job of work, uncloaking the dishonest greedy robbers that infest AIM.
Regrettably my son is looking after the festive booze supply but have placed a small order with ChapelDown just now and will make future purchases.
Time for all good folk to stand together!

I cant understand how trip advisor gets away with leaving bogus reviews up on its site . Living in a tourism area as I do , it is a recognised problem for B&B , Hotels and cafes etc . It seems to be the new “scratch your car “ for people who want to get some revenge or economic advantage , justified or unjustified . Some one should do something about trip advisor as its so bad now you cant rely on anything they say , good or bad . Its just a waste of space and time .

I think pretty much everyone supportive of your work and all those journalists and other bloggers (like Paul Scott) have all been verbally attacked, insulted, tried to get sacked…etc.
Just look at comments from Money Week, FTAlphaville, the Bulliton Boards.
It is obvious the dark side of QPPSAG and the so called ‘Genuine QPP Investors’ have written on Travel Republic their reviews. The language they use of your restaurant is no different to the language they use on LSE BB, or on any report about QPP that allows comments.
I would image the utter abuse the the National Association of Body Shops would have received from QPPSAG (QPP Vigilante Abuse Group) for putting out that warning, because their track record of insults and abuse to others is there for all to see

Simple solution ~ get your solicitor to contact TripAdvisor to a) obtain details of slanderous reviewer and b) suggest they might wish to remove fake review or face action themselves. Give ‘reviewer’ a good financial kicking.

Wildrides has hit the nail on the head, reference ‘trip advisor’!
I too, live in a busy tourist area and can verify to the growing anger of those in the hospitality industry to the number of people demanding discounts or freebies on the back of whether posting a positive or negative review, based on their ‘experience’!
Totally agree……. trip advisor’s are in danger of becoming a joke and loosing any credibility unless this problem is addressed as a matter of urgency!

Why is it only Quindell? Is there something peculiarly mad about their retail investors? You don’t get any of this from Blinkx and Globo shareholders.

Tom, please will you take another look at emed . They must be the most interesting current proposition on aim if you want to go long. Emed thankfully have not taken Transfigura finance , You have interest from Newport, Transfigura, Orion, and the Chinese . Mining permits are a given, and currently we have three interested parties, either to provide finanace or take over. Just have a look. If I am correct. free olive oil. kind regards.

David, you’re assuming they’re quindell investors, i don’t think they would sign off from tripadvisor with their bb usernames.

I suppose there’s always a danger this could backfire Tom, but – as well as the other suggestions here – you could always start to regularly post your own bogus negative reviews but make them so surreal and absurd that anyone with an ounce of functioning grey matter would get the picture straight away. Oh, I don’t know – something like
“After ordering spaghetti my wife went to use the ladies room and was horrified to find this constituted a bucket in the centre of a wigwam in the rear yard. The wigwam contained holes and she was sure she spotted an eyeball through one of them. The bucket had also even sprung a leak (bizarrely, as her name is Liza). Then, on the way back to the main building, she passed the open kitchen door and witnessed the sight of what appeared to be young immigrant children being forced to wash clean canned spaghetti (she though it was Co-op own brand), and heard what sounded like strange Satanic chanting from the floor above. We left before our meal arrived and vowed never to return!”
Maybe not!

Just had a look on Tripadvisor, truly shocking what some people will do because they can’t deal with the truth.
One reviewer who left a bad review (14-10-14) was called Kevin M – this wouldn’t be the uberturboramper K3VMC from the LSE BB would it?
Hmmm…
Anyway Tom, wish you and your staff the best of success and would like to visit one day – only problem is I am at the wrong end of the bleeding country doh!

Optimises a quindell investor really, indulge in something, this time posting a review instead of investing money, without investigating the company before hand.
Jane
The sooner QPP finally gives up the ghost, the better.
Then the imbecility of the QPP BBM’s will be justly rewarded.
Keep up the good work, Tom, just love your bearcasts.

David Atherton. Some of the bad reviews are from BLNX shareholders. During the attack earlier this year some of the posters were “boasting” about giving the RMP bad reviews. Again they had never set foot in the restaurant.
