Stay Away from AES International

If you are a client - STAY AWAY

If you are thinking about being employed - STAY AWAY!

Please read my story below before you make the biggest mistake of your life

AES International websites are:

www.aesfinance.com

www.aesinternational.com

The Directors are:

Sam Instone and John Viney and Stephen Woodhall

I was happily working for another IFA firm in Germany when I was contacted by AES International, who is a financial advice and investment advice firm.

AES International told me that I was working illegally in Germany and that my company, as well as me, have been reported to the German authorities.

AES International told me that I will be put into jail and procedded to quote to me a whole host of numbers, rules and regulations and news paper articles.

I was terrified!

They told me that unless I work for them, I would be in serious trouble.

ALL THIS WAS A LIE! A LIE TO BENEFIT THEM!

So, after a month considering my options an worrying, I left the company I was working for and joined

AES International, moving home and away from family and friends.

That has been the biggest mistake of my life! DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!

Immediately upon joining I discovered that I couldnt advise on many of the services, solutions and products that I used to offer my clients.

Instead I was forced to use AES International's own products and solutions, AES International products are inferior to the other solutions on the market, give the client less of a chance to make money and cause myself and every other adviser to lose money

AES International products, service and solutions are designed to make AES International money and no one else.

I was forced to cold call lists of contacts and push products to clients. I was also told to advise clients that using other companies is illegal and that they will lose all their money.

I used up all my savings to finance myself while at AES with the promise that trail commisions will start to come in. However I never received ANY trail commision payments. The excuse was that the system that does this doesnt work yet.

I WAS PENNYLESS AND SOON TO BE HOMELESS!

As of last week I moved back to Germany and am trying to pick up the pieces of my life

PLEASE! DO NOT FALL for their threats, empty promises and "gold at the end of the rainbow" lies

AES International is a SCAM, Rip Off, Con, Fraud, Ponzi Scheme set up. Whatever you call it, they are the dirtiest of the lot

STAY AWAY

Nonsense About AES

AUTHOR: Say What? - ()

POSTED: Sunday, September 29, 2013

Biggest hogwash article I've ever seen about AES.

"Instead I was forced to use AES International's own products and solutions, AES International products are inferior to the other solutions on the market, give the client less of a chance to make money and cause myself and every other adviser to lose money"

First of all, 99% of IFA conpanies incl AES International don't have their own products to start with, Apart from perhaps Private Banking which is something totally separate. This makes me doubt if this person complaining was ever a real IFA. It sounds like amateur reputation management mudslinging, nothing else.

"Immediately upon joining I discovered that I couldnt advise on many of the services, solutions and products that I used to offer my clients." - Sorry, but what idiot would leave a firm, -agree to be employed and only be informed of what he can and can't sell or offer, only afterwards? Again, very suspect...no IFA worth his salt will just leave his company not knowing what he's getting himself into. Ever heard of GOOGLE?

99% of IFA companies all offer the same solutions by Royal Skandia, Friends Provident, RL360, Zurich International, Hansard International, AXA, Generali International etc. None of the IFA I know have their "own products". Some companies might have TOB's with smaller fund distributors etc., but apart from that...they all work on the same general principle of submitting their IFA's business to one for the Life Companies mentioned above. These are generally brilliant products all round, some better than other obviosuly for different rreasons.

I know SO many people working for AES, this kind of thing is as far from the truth as you can get. Why? Because this is probably the one and ONLY so-called scam report on them in here, or elsewhere. I guess no comapny is immune to disgrunteled ex-employees, but this is some of the worst nonsense I've ever read.

The company is also FSA (FCA) regulated in the UK with numerous coveted international awards and accolades. No "scam company" in the UK would ever be regulated by probably one of the most prestigious financial services watch dogs in the world. I mean, come on already...

AES International is a trading style of AES Financial Services Ltd which is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority. Registered Office:AES Financial Services Ltd, Elysium Gate, 126-128 New Kings Road, London, SW6 4LZ Registered in England No. 6063185


Anyway, stuff like this belongs on the Monty Python show...seriously.

Just read the many public references below and  you'll quickly see User311632 for what he is...

Who-ever this reputation management amateur User311632 is, better luck next time...very weak attempt that I hope comes and bite you in the...well, you know.
