Verified Reviewer | Dubai, DubaiGlobaleye Dubai - lousy liars (Stefan Terry)
So Stefan emailed me to asked me to remove my review as it was not im good for his reputation. Oh so now I remember another fact why I was so pissed off.
Before I withdrew my funds, I asked him why my annual valuation dropped. First he doesn't answer my question on why m...
Globaleye Dubai (Adviser name was Stefan Terry, and his assistant Paula Leonor) claimed that the reason for the drop from 2013 to 2014 was due to a combination of annual fee and poor market performance that made that happen.
(wait, wasn't 2013 a great year for making money? so either they lied, or they really do not know how to manage my money).
Note: I was also told (during sign up) that there was absolutely no fee. You cannot just slap an annual fee on your client any time you like.
Globaleye Stephen Evans Jailed at long last
Its nice to see that the real Wolf of Old Street has been Jailed. I have had the delight of coming across Stephen Evans before he was Jailed when he was a financial adviser at Global Eye. Mr Evans was extremely pushy and seemed to be only interested in getting hold of my money, it is now so clear why he wanted my money. After feeling uncomfortable with Mr Evans I requested to speak with another financial adviser and they came across in the same manner as Mr Evans, so it seemed to me that this was the way Global Eye just conducted business and only seemed interested in lining each others pockets and not the initial investment.
Due to the behavior I seen of both these advisers I decided against Global Eye as they seemed very shady characters and went elsewhere.
This morning when I was reading the paper I came across an article in the Daily Mail that clarified my gut feeling about Global Eye seeing that Mr Evans has been Jailed for Fraud http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-260****/Spend-spend-spend-fraudster-dubbed-Wolf-Old-Hall-Street-blew-4-4million-Porsches-holidays.html
I am glad that I used my own common sense and invested in a extremely reputable company, I just hope other people haven't be conned by Global Eye and wont be conned in the future.
The Truth forget all the rubbish.
I saw an advisor some year back 2011 it must have been. The Globaleye Advisor spent a good few hours with me and my wife going over our lives and what we had, and highlighted a number of things we didn't have.
Life and critical illness was one of the things he said we should protect ourselves. A week later I signed up a critical illness plan for a small monthly amount with a company called Zurich. When we saw the financial advisor at a review he said we should save for our future and recommended a long term savings plan. I did some googling and saw this sight and I got cold feet as some of the comments here made me doubt the chap.
After 6 months I was diagnosed with cancer, I had an awful time in the UAE and had to have some treatment and take time off work, thank God I had listened to the advisor and taken out the critical illness plan. It paid me 150,000 USD and I was able to return home for treatment and pay off my mortgage. (it would have paid me more if I had listened closer to the recommendation and go with the 250,000 the advisor had recommended) Well as you can tell I am alive and I'm back working. If I hadn't taken the advise in and looked at this website my life would have been ruined by my illness and I would have had to work through my treatment to pay the bills.
As soon as I've settled into my new role I'm going to contact my old advisor shake his hand and Listen allot closer to what he has to say. My advise everyone needs to listen to an advisor and choose someone you get on with.
If they offer you protection first over savings then you know that they have your best interest at heart. Take it from me everyone should have life and critical illness protection, something the companies in the UAE do not cover on there medical schemes.

Distracted in family time
Met this *** at a brunch around a week ago. I was with my family and amongst all the constant cold calls i get during the week, I was approached by a guy called {{Redacted}} who left me a business card and decided to talk business. Bearing in mind, this was 1 weekend in a long time i got to spend with my wife and the last thing i needed was this after a long week. I just felt the approach was very pushy and deliberate on the companies part. Anyway, I recieved a business card and managed lose company of the guy who still lingered around us. On looking into this further, and seeing the posts on here, I can now say they are definitely cowboys willing to give jobs to anybody at all, in their industry. If you don't believe it, just take a look at the link below. Also, same goes for all their competitors including Guardian, Deveres (PIC) & the lot of them. Bunch of salesmen scamming the decent public as again was approached by a different company at the same venue on the same day. Not needed on a family day !

Vincent Wilson Vice President Globaleye scam artist took my money Dubai, UAE Abu Dhabi
Vincent Wilson Vice President of Globaleye Dubai is a scam artist of epic proportions and cannot be trusted. He and his cronies lied to me constantly about the performance of my investment.
Vincent Wilson scam artist extrordinaire told me I could access my investment anytime but when I started asking questions several months later I started to smell a rat. I got another company to look at it for me and we found it had high fees attached and was a high risk investment. He never told me about these high fees and high risk and I will have now lost tens of thousands of my money. Globaleye scammers have nice offices but I got duped and taken in by his sales pitch.
How *** can I be? Vincent Wilson Vice President Globaleye scam artist is an outright cheat, so if you get a call from him he is not a board member of Globaleye but just a two faced employee to be avoided at all costs.
Globaleye - Conducting Of Business Review
Philip Carrington of Globaleye brings his son Eban McLean into the business to do what they do bets, rip clients off and earn very high commissions. If you are in contact with either of these two *** men, do not meet or take calls from them.
They're the *** of the finance industry,,, you have been warned - do not fall into there pushy sales scam. Philip has been in UAE for more than ten years doing this and now his son Eban is doing the same.
Eban is the most convincing person I have spoken to and will force you into meeting with Philip with his scare tactics. Don't fall into the trap that hundreds of other good working people have!!!!!!
Ian Leigh and Luke Forrest Rip Off
After being contacted by Luke Forrest I was recommend a meeting with the managing partner Ian Leigh to do an in depth review of my finances.
I was recommended a regular savings plan as I had a "shortfall" in my retirement. I was also told I should transfer my pension out of the UK. Maybe I was a little naive but I took them on face value and was sold by the promises they made.
Since then I have heard nothing from them and after finding a trusted FA in Rome I later find out I am down 27%. I have tried contacting both with no luck. I guess their spending their high commissions they made off me on more Gucci suits to bluff other innocent hardworking people.
I would suggest anyone to avoid this pair and not to do business with them at all. Its a great shame and quite embarrassing as I thought they were both pleasant people when we met, but I suppose thats how they get you.
Globaleye International Wealth Solutions - Ripped Me off
I can't believe how *** I've been in using these guys.
They completely mis-sold me a number of investment products and whilst they were very accommodating up to and including me signing the proposals they have not returned my calls, responded to my emails and have no alternative to seek legal redress.
Fortunately I have video footage of the meetings I had with them and my lawyer friend is now taking this up with the regulators as this simply is bad form and they are a complete disgrace to the profession they serve in.
By the way they aren't regulated in most of the jurisdictions.
Aaron Pacitti is the guy who mis-sold these products here's his profile on their website http://www.globaleye.com/team/aaron-pacitti/
He his a ***-man who can't be trusted ...
Globaleye Dubai non stop cold calling me
I am constantly cold called by people working at Globaleye and its driving me insane!
I keep telling the people on the phone to remove me from your list and do not call me again. However I have been called 50 times in the last month! Either this company is *** and just doesn't care!
The reason I do not want to speak to this company is because I have been told they run a number of scam investments. They have offered me attractive rates of return that are completely unreal!
My advice is to stay away from these *** men. Do not take one meeting with them as they operate a high pressure sales tactic. They will have you in fear of them! Stay clear
Tim Searle Globaleye HIGHEST changes in the industry
Avoid Globaleye who are in Dubai. They have the highest charges in the industry.
Tim Searle is a multimillionaire from the high fee's he makes his emplyees charge clients.
Tim Searle and Phil Carrington are not only rip off merchants, they also *** with all the female staff.
Phil Carrington and his wife offer sexual favours to the Globaleye staff and invite many to their swinging parties
Tim Searle is having a number of affairs with staff, mainly Jenny Owens the recruitment manager based in Manchester. Tim Searle cannot fire Jenny Owens because she knows to much inside information that could shut down Globaleye and send Tim Searle to prison.
Globaleye are the worst company to work for and to let control your finances. The foundations to teh company are based on bizarre sexual practices and untrust worthy staff that are motivated by maximum commisions.
Do not let these low lifes meet you and do not discuss your finances with them.
SCAM SCAM SCAM
Globaleye kicked out of Brazil for stealing clients money
Globaleye was kicked out of Brazil for stealing clients money. Yes thats correct, this so called financial advisory company was actually taking clients money.
The client believed they was investing in savings plans, but unbeknown to them, the cash was going directly in to the pockets of the "advisers" and ultimately Tim Searle the Chairman.
Globaleye, www.globaleye.com, consultants can be found scratching around Dubai desperate to make a deal with an unsuspecting expat.
My advice is to STAY AWAY from these conmen, lowlife, *** of the earth so called financial advisers.
Their interest is to make them as much money as possible, not the client.
BE WARNED! The stealing of clients money happens all over the world, in Brazil they were caught red handed. In Dubai the practice continues!
Tim Searle Globaleye INVESTMENT SCAM
Thanks to Tim Searle of Globaleye I have lost all my financial savings and am now bankrupt.
I was lied to over and over again about the performance of my funds. I lost my job and when I enquired about accessing my investments, I was told that I could not do!
I asked why and all I got was lies. When I sent a legal letter in they eventually gave me my valuation, which showed next to nothing. I researched into this further and found that the funds I was forced in to be high risk and very high fee based.
I was not aware of any of the fees and was lied to. I am now taking this to court with the little finances I have left along with help from my family and friends.
Globaleye have ruined me financially and emotionally.
You may not understand what it is like knowing that everything you worked hard to achieve has been eaten away by sky high commissions and fees that have gone directly to *** bags like Tim Searle!
Tim Searle and is company Globaleye advisers are nothing but ***
Take this as a warning; DO NOT take any cold calls from them. DO NOT have a face to face meeting with them. DO NOT take advice from them about ANYTHING. DO NOT believe their lies!

Globaleye is a scam, with the true intent of making you lose your money. They stole over $118k from me and after several failed attempts to get them to give me my money back, I decided to file a fraud report against them through a fraud investigative agency, and they helped get back my money from Globaleye without requesting any upfront fees from me.
If you would like to know more, contact me by email: tracey.winslow(at) aol.
com. I will be glad to share this information because I know the police and securities commissions would help nobody, act now and seek refund.
Stefan Terry is a thief! Simple as that!
It's interesting to read Stefan Terry still hasn't changed one bit. Still a scammer to this day.
Once a scammer always a scammer! Never do business with this man!!!!!!
Hi, just to say I have also had my fingers burnt by the crook that is Stefan Terry. After trusting this man with my money - he ceased any communication without any updates on where my investments had gone. It is good to see people sharing what a nasty piece of work this man is.
Absolute nonsense... some advisers take on other peoples policies and have a fee because they didn't initiate the policy or get paid on it at any point...
would any of you work for free? If you worked for emirates for example and they asked you to work one day a month for no pay would you? of course not...
furthermore, fee based advice is more of a UK-centric approach (one of the most regulated jurisdictions)...
Thanks for the good advice Stefan... keep it up
@happyclient123
I’m truly glad you are happy. I was too until Stefan Terry took over my portfolio.
You perhaps had a good run because over the last 18 months, the market has had a good run. So if you hadn’t been happy, I don’t know when you will ever be cow every Tom *** and Harry has been making lots. Wait till there’s a drop. Check your account to see how much you’ve lost and query why.
Listen to what he’s gotta say. I understand that that in investment, you win sometimes, you lose sometimes. But all I demanded was a logical explanation. Not some *** on me not understanding interest rates and that now they had to slap an annual fee due to markets being bad (I haven’t paid any fee since day 1).
I wish you luck in your trust in him.
I’ve so far had great success with my current advisor since my undesired experience with global eye (Stefan terry in particular).
I’m glad you found yourself someone you consider great too. Best wishes
If only I had read this post sooner! Big mistake working with Stefan Terry. Would never use again.
Hi, I have just seen this review and I would also like to say that I am in agreement with it. I had my hard earned money effectively stolen from me and after continuous polite messages to initiate any conversation about it, I have been repeatedly ignore. DO NOT USE STEFAN TERRY OR ANYONE RELATING TO HIS SERVICES!
i would like to say guys..... nobody forces you to sign number 1, number 2 like any contracts that one signs you read it and check all terms and conditions.
then if any worries you ask for clarification in writing = you are covered.
people, you really are making my laugh!! if u r doing great u take it for granted if not then blame everyone!!
you should know by now if life there is no guarantee beside death.
no am not part of this industry - corporate commercial retails- please next time you sign anything double check terms and conditions.... food for thought
When was the last time you went to the bank to open an account and the Relationship manager asked you to sign a bunch of papers that had 32 pages of conditions? You ask the essentials and if you had been lied to, well, then this guy deserves a "beating up".
Also agree that one should read the fine print but at most circumstances, it's not possible because they ask you to sign first before giving you the fine print. Technically you have the right to refuse to sign. But given you want to invest your money and most don't let you read the fine prints unless you sign up first. That's the job of the RM to advise based on your needs.
If he is not honest, it's too late. So get someone you trust and has good reference.
