A warning on manifest securities fraud from the UK

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) of the United Kingdom has issued a securities fraud notice to Manifest.

 The FCA’s January 29th notice, which cites Manifest by its parent UK shell firm Manifest Ventures Ltd., says:

It’s possible that [Manifest Ventures Ltd] is marketing or offering financial services or goods without our consent. Dealing with this company should be avoided, and frauds should be avoided.

In the UK, practically all businesses and people need our permission to conduct or advertise financial services.

This company may be targeting individuals in the UK and is not approved by us.

Manifest Ventures Ltd. is past due on its paperwork, according to a Companies House search;

Additionally, “manifest.family,” the FCA’s referenced internet domain for Manifest, is blocked.

Jimmy Alexander James Bennett, a UK native with connections to Dubai, was the serial scammer who operated Manifest.

Bennett is also a registered director of the following UK firms in addition to his Manifest collection of scams:

 

  • Simply Tan LTD (defunct)

  • Disbanded Southgate Holdings LTD

  • Momentum Journeys LTD (active as of December 2023)

  • Momentum Life LTD (active as of January 2024)

  • Doorstep Deli Company LTD (operational as of April 2024)

  • After using Manifest to swindle customers, Bennett’s current situation is unclear.

 

Bennett used to advertise himself on social media by flaunting his ill-gotten money, but since September 2024, he has stopped posting anything.
