Devere Group's reply to:
Devere Group - DeVere (aka Nigel Green) fraud, scam and sexual harassment
Not happy with cheating hundreds of expats out of their hard-earned retirement money by promising high-yielding bogus investments, De Vere is a world-class scammer of unsuspecting new financial consultant recruits.
The recruits are treated to a glossy 'recruitment presentation' and encouraged to ignore all negative postings on the Internet about De Vere scams. Then they are promised the world if they come to work for De Vere:-
£100K to £500K in more or less guaranteed fees
Freedom to work at any De Vere offices worldwide
Free training to qualify as Stockbrokers
De Vere-covered visas and 'assistance' with relocation.
Sounds like a dream? Well, it is - a nightmare! Here is a reality check:-
You will probably earn around £50k to £80K gross from which you will have to deduct:-
a) 20% of your income for your secretary/ co-ordinator;
b) 50% of her accommodation will need to be covered by you;
c) You will need to pay ALL her travelling and relocation expenses (could be expensive, if she is not your wife!);
d) you will need to pay your share of office expenses and ALL costs of your office telephone bill;
e) you will need to cover ALL your relocation and visa processing costs - they will give you no help other than a letter saying that they have offered you a job as an independent;
f) to get to your De Vere office, expect to have at least £20k saved up - you will need it in your first two months;
g) be prepared to wait and wait for your commissions and be prepared for bulls**t after bulls**t why it is delayed!
h) be prepared for prospects cancelling appointments after reading up about De Vere scams on the Internet and be prepared for De vere to blame you for that (isn't life a b**ch?).
To find out more about what you are in for if you are *** enough not to listen to what other ex employees have to say about them on the Internet, read the attachment. It has notes on the standard offer letter you can expect from these scammers.
De Vere is in for a name change for sure - why not "BEWARE!"

Sounds like you will do well at devere my friend, fighting talk is something they know well. Just make sure you have enough money (at least 15k) and don't say you have not been warned or seen the writing on the wall.
Good luck, you'll certainly need lots of that.
What is really goin on here?? I went to the meeting in London the other day it was hosted by Nigel Green, its all seems plausable, if what I read is true why doesn't somebody kick his head in,,??
if everyone can get thru the interview and then the meeting surely somone who was burned by devere would have thought it to get friend to apply go thru the motions so you can be sure where Nigel green is and give him a piece of your mind!! I'm Just saying, it wouldn't be difficult would it??
Sounds like a great company to wok for, not. Why do so many people fall for their BS? I guess there's one born every minute, if something sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Deverie has a dreadful reputation globally, not just from past employees. There is plenty of feedback from customers past & present.
What kind of company makes its employees pay the office rent? Scammers that's who.
devere are implicated in scams all over the world, you've only have to search google to see what these scammsters are about. They stole over 12K off a blind person in UK.
All their products are fully loaded with commissions, front and back end. If you want to see your investment plummet in value, have little or no contact, deal with non qualified sales staff, go with devere.
deverie can't get away from it... They are scammers of the highest order, go boys go... make some more money before you're all locked up for a very long time.
Everything this poster has said is true, Devere are a dreadful company to work for. Sales, sales, sales, never putting the customer first.
I know because I worked or them, made lots of money, followed their lead. I couldn't continue ripping people off, I'm now looking for a better opportunity with a real company.
Stay away from these thieves they will take you for everything. Devere deserve all they get on here.
