It would seem that they have managed to have the other review that was on this site taken down... I am still owed a large sum of money and I know at least ten other people who are as well...

If anyone has any information on these two please let us know. advice@***.com.

Thank you all for your comments, please keep the information coming.

Parmafey Int (www.parmafey.com) and Balquidder Advisors (www.balquidder.com) are one and the same company run by Alec Maclaren/Alex Mcgrory (www.bigfishcreditors.com) and Allan Canning.

They have a history of misleading investors and not paying there staff.

I as others are currently owed high sums of money by them, they seem to be winding up there current companies (maybe they have ripped off so many people they have burned these companies (websites below). As far as I can tell Alec Maclaren is living in Javea Spain and Allan Canning is in Glasgow. All the telephone numbers for the companies are no longer working but the websites are still up, the only number on the website that is working is the Bulgarian office number, how ever that seems to be a number to an ex-employee who said that he is very keen to talk with either Alec or Allan.

They have no license to give financial advise in Europe, Middle East or Asia. Be very careful if you have contact with either of them...

Is anyone still gathering information into Alex/Alec and his business dealings? Is a case still being built against him and his fraud?

Are people still looking for him? There seems to be no further action taken in this case for many years.

Guest

Good tidings, alas, my patience has worn thin. I am interested in all your information on Alex/c Mcgroh...

.maclaren.

Please email me at where.is.alexc.maclagroggy@***.com I am out for the big fish. Its a big pond, but I am a big boy.

Guest

It is inevitable that the media will be interested in Alec/Alex's latest business activities . Failed investment companies are definitely on the increase, but Covid has meant there is insufficient personnel and funds to investigate them all. Furthermore Court time is at a premium and very often its a media report that moves things forward.

Good news is the media are interested and a documentary is possible.

Guest

Now that the travel restrictions are lifted anyone who lost money investing in Pamafey might want to travel to Beniarbeig and Deina near Alicante in Spain and find Alec/Alex..

Guest

Does anyone know where Alex/Alec is living and if it's Deina or Beniarbeig in Spain does he still office share with Renvida?

I have some information regarding this which could be useful for those wanting to know the most recent activities of Alex / Alec and family. Additionally, Is the action group still running? Also is there a case reference number for authorities of which I could use to provide information that may be pivotal in continuing to build a case against Alex / Alex?

Has the action group not been suspended? Iโ€™m not sure if thereโ€™s anyone on this page that was involved in the investigation.

Latest news from a Lawyer is: his file and another one from a successful business owner are gathering dust on the shelf of the authorities in Edinburgh. Between them they lost three million pounds in the Big Fish investment scheme.

The reason for the dust is simple to understand, because the Crown like any other business has a budget and the last investment legal case similar to theirs cost over two million pounds to prosecute. The perpetrator got a slap on the wrist.

Guest

Where are Alex/Alec and Allan living now? A QC from the BVI and a successful Glasgow Businessman who allegedly lost millions investing in companies that failed complained to the authorities and their files lie in an office in Edinburgh gathering dust.

When Covid is over the enquiries into the complaints could well be resumed. A Landlord who complained about unpaid rent also complained to the authorities.

For the authorities to investigate this it will cost millions. Another media exposure like the ยฃ14 sting might prompt the authorities to do something but does anyone know where Alex/Alec is living now?

Guest

With respect to many hard working and decent people employed in the Armed Forces and Bus Transportation it seems incredible that a former Corporal and a Tour Driver, both with limited qualifications could have owned thirteen investment businesses. These are listed in the bigfishcreditors website and most of them have failed.

According to former disgruntled employees the investors lost millions. Unfortunately for unsuspecting Landlords some of these businesses operated from their house address and these remain on record at Companies House.

Guest

On my PC there's a full size photograph of Alex/Alec, but on my I Pad it's much smaller. Could it be the Computer nerd from Clynder near Helensburgh is in control of this website? Maybe he will know if Alex/Alec is still living in Deina near Javea in Spain and renting an office from Joyce an Estate Agent.

Guest

Does anyone know if Alex/Alec is still living in Deina near Javea in Spain?

I find it unusual that no one even Edgar a victim (in Spain) of a failed investment scheme has replied to the question about Alex/Alec still living in Deina. Maybe he has been inimidated just like another employee from Cornwall who was never paid their sales commission when selling for SMS Signals.

Guest

SMS Signals was a sales lead scam where the sales people recruited clients to pay money up front for sales leads and guess what ? The clients never received the sales leads and the recruitment people never received their wages.

Guest

Who is in control of this website we have to wonder because recently Alex/Alec's photograph was fully exposed and the newspaper report of the ยฃ14 million sting in his Big Fish Investment Scheme was blanked out. Could it be that he has had a fall out with Allan the computer nerd from Clynder who was in partnership with him?

Guest

Has Alex/Alec also fallen out with his former co directors Locoudes from Cyprus and Morgan from Scotland? They were involved with two companies that liquidated but they might not even know it.

Guest
reply icon Replying to comment of Guest-1911840

Another former co Director confirmed that Morgan from Scotland was involved and the Son of a late victim in Cyprus knows that Locaides was involved.

Guest

The ยฃ14M sting News of the World story above that has been blacked out and titled +10 media is the only media exposure of Alex/Alec MacLaren and allegedly it should be much more. The story has been resurrected by the media after being alerted by a member of the action group and with Spain opening up to visitors the victims should optimistic. The late journalist who wrote the sting had planned to visit Spain with a camera crew.
