Daniel Pugh, Imperial Investment Fund (IIF) Ponzi Scheme - you may be able to get your money back
We are looking to speak to investors and investigate whether people may be eligible for reimbursement if they’ve lost money to the Imperial Investment Fund (IIF).
The director, Daniel Pugh, was prosecuted for fraud after he took money from 238 investors that he had targeted largely through Facebook adverts. Investors were offered returns of 1.4% a day, 7% a week or 350% a year.
Who can Refundee help?
You may be able to get your money back if:
You sent money to Imperial Investment Fund via UK bank transfer
Your payment was sent to another UK bank account
Your payment was made after 28 May 2019
Your bank is signed up to the Contingent Reimbursement Model Code (CRM Code) - it’s easy to check if your bank is signed up.
These protections were created to support victims of scam and fraud in the UK, and it means your bank has a responsibility to act fairly.
You may also be eligible if your payment was made after 7 October 2024 so don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team of fraud recovery experts at Refundee.
How can Refundee help?
Refundee are a team of recovery experts who offer no win, no fee representation. Here’s how we can support you with Imperial Investment Fund:
You’ll fill out a simple claim form on our website
We’ll investigate your case and build a detailed claim
We’ll handle all communication with your bank
If needed, we’ll escalate your case to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). This usually happens if the bank rejects the initial complaints.
You only pay if we succeed - there’s no hidden fees, ever. (Not only are we no win no fee, but our fees are also some of the lowest in the industry!)
The more investors who contact us, the stronger each case becomes. By learning from multiple cases, we can build more detailed, evidence-based claims that benefit everyone involved.
These cases usually take around 6-12 months, although the process can vary in terms of duration.
Do I need to use Refundee?
You don’t need to seek professional representation to argue your case. You always have the right to make a complaint to your bank or the Ombudsman directly. But many customers choose Refundee for:
Specialist expertise in investment scam claims
Access to knowledge gained from other IIF Investors
Stronger, evidence-based submissions = better outcomes
