ASP Invest promotes loan notes offering up to 17.5% per year.
Its website reveals that ASP Invest is reselling loan notes offered by Certain Bridge, although this is only made clear on the Loan Notes section of the website, via a video with Certain Bridge branding and a passing reference in a general description of loan notes.

Certain Bridge Limited is offering unregulated loan notes paying up to 17.5% per year as follows:
A winding up petition against troubled unregulated investment firm MJS Capital (now Colarb Capital) is due to be heard on Wednesday 20th February.
A petition was originally filed by an MJS creditor on 23 October 2018 and due to be heard on 23 January 2019, but this was delayed and eventually rescheduled to next week.

Carlauren Group (aka The Care Home Group, whose care home investments offering fixed returns of 10% per year were reviewed here in April 2018) has entered the cryptocurrency arena with the launch of "C-Coins".
How it works is as follows:
Investors and those wishing to buy Carlauren's care home services hand real money over to Carlauren in exchange for tokens at a launch price of £70 per C-Coin. Members of the Carlauren Resorts programme have the right to buy a specified number of C-Coins at the launch price depending on what tier of membership they join at.
Investors and members can either use their C-Coins to pay for Carlauren's residential and care home services, sell them back to Carlauren at a "guaranteed" £63 per coin (90% of the launch price), or sell them on an internal exchange operated by Carlauren, known as the Carlauren Coin Exchange.
Going forward C-Coins will be the only method of payment accepted by Carlauren for its services.

When the RVS Closing Price System scam, a reboot of the HSL Smart Market System scam, disappeared with investors' money around October 2018, I facetiously wondered how long it would take before another company with a three-letter acronym name sprung up offering infeasible returns.
Turns out the answer was about three months.
Investors have reported being cold-called by people promoting the SBL Market Guide program that can turn an investment of £4,750 (supposedly a 50% discount) into £30k in two years, after which the other 50% becomes payable.
This is virtually identical to the RVS Closing Price System which charged £4,925 for the prospect of turning this into £30,000 within two years, with a further £4,925 payable if RVS achieved the promised returns.
Needless to say RVS and its anonymous perpetrators disappeared well before the two year period was up, and RVS investors, like HSL investors before them, lost every penny of the £4,925 they put in. Along with any further money they gave to RVS to trade shares or buy access to data.

In March 2018 I reviewed Apex Algorithms and their claim to provide a "low risk" investment which had previously generated between 26% and 90% annual returns. I concluded that the offer was an extremely high risk investment into an unregulated firm, and highlighted inconsistencies in its published results.
Apex Algorithms has recently launched a new website at algocorp.com. There is no mention of Apex Algorithms on the front page, but the offering is substantially identical, and its address and phone number remain the same as Apex's, along with its "Deliver the Knockout Blow to the Bookmakers" identity. The initial version of Algo Corp's "Terms and Conditions" page referred to Apex Algorithms throughout; this has since been changed to Algo Corp. At time of writing the apexalgorithms.co.uk still appears to be running with the old brand identity.
Why Algo Corp / Apex has felt the need to create a new brand identity is not clear.
