Sports investment fraud & mis-selling FAQs

Keller Lenkner UK is working with a range of partners, affiliates, and other organisations in the fight against investment fraud and mis-selling in sport. Our legal team is supporting a significant number of sports people who have been affected by this scandal, and we believe that those affected by investment fraud or mis-selling could be owed hundreds of thousands of pounds, if not more.

But what do you need to know about making a sports investment fraud or mis-selling claim? Here are some FAQs that we frequently get asked about making a claim.

What is this case all about?

Thousands of sportsmen and women have been targeted by unscrupulous financial advisors and banks, and many have lost fortunes due to financial scams or negligent advice. Victims are facing losses ranging from a few thousand to millions of pounds. Keller Lenkner UK is helping professional athletes who have fallen victim to financial scams and negligent advice to get their money back.

How would I know If I had been defrauded or mis-sold?

A professional sportsperson might have been mis-sold or defrauded if:

  • They have lost a significant amount of money in an investment, even if they saw an initial profit.
  • They were persuaded to invest into high-risk and exotic investments such as overseas property, wine, commodities, cryptocurrency or unlisted shares, and have lost money or can’t access their investments.
  • They were targeted by unscrupulous professional advisors because of their high-net-worth.
  • The negligence of their financial advisor has (or could have) made them worse off in life.
  • Their advisers failed to explain the risk, fees, charges and details of any investments recommended.
