The person concerned is Chris or Christopher Durham/Derham/Dereham. Look at posts under these names.
His full real name is Christopher John Charles Derham. He claims to have changed his name by deed poll to Dereham but frequently uses Durham at the moment. He DOES have a UK bank account with one of his daughters Gemma, however, most often he uses the Bank Accounts of the unfortunate companies that he attaches himself to whilst doing 'due diligence' pending an alleged investment. None of these companies have a happy ending and a lot of the funds from Cameron Hunt were used to set up Vajazzle for his girlfriend Claire Jacobs and Apploors for his son in law Aaron Guidice. Avoid all of these people but especially Chris Durham/Derham/Dereham.
Also see comments on Novus scam.
Mrs Jacobs is not an associate of Christopher Derham/Durham.

Since July 2011, Mrs Jacobs has voluntarily assisted and supported investigations with the Thames Valley Police and now with SOCA (Serious Organised Crime Agency).

All allegations made here may now form part of these proceedings.
As the originator of the original comments on this person i would ask all posting comments to be sure of your facts when making comments on individuals who indeed may be innocent dupes in this affair,to my knowledge Ms Jacobs was not involved in any wrongdoing ,the comment saying so is totally unfounded and you may lead your self into a law suit unless you have definite proof of an individuals involvement.
Fact - Mrs Claire Jacobs set up a new company called Claire Jacobs Group Limited - company number 07782157 only last week.

This is a classic D/D/D move, to fold one company, leaving the creditors without payment and move swiftly on to a new enterprise. I wonder if CJ and D/D/D are still working together?
There are 2 postings on this site that suggest that Christopher John Charles Durham aka Derham aka Dereham continues to be an Associate of Claire Jacobs and that they are still scamming on this website. See the posting by Investigations. It is clearly bogus. SOCA do not investigate fraud. The economic crime unit is investigating the Derham frauds. See posting by anonymos one seeking to pretend they were the original poster and defending Jacobs. It suggests that Jacobs/DDD read these sites.
So Jacobs has set up another Company, presumably into which to move Vajazzle assets, to try to protect them from the people from whom the money was stolen to set Vajazzle up. The only surprising thing is that she thinks that calling it 'The Claire Jacobs Group' is a smart thing to do. That is very unlike Derham (who normally doesnt put his name on anything). Clearly Claire Jacobs is not the brains of the Association.
Again as originator of this posting, i stated that you should be careful of naming people without proof and only assumptions, in this web of companies coming and going anyone could be duped or indeed guilty ,time will tell .
It is unfair to name people without definite evidence and i am sure the proper authorities will find out what is happening.I can fully back up my statements. hope you can.
The posting was originated by Anonymous whilst someone called anonymos one (someone who can't spell) is claiming to be the originator - duh!
The purpose of this website is to warn other people against unscrupulous people. All people scammed by Derham/Dereham/Durham and the known associates of Claire Jacobs, Kerry Welch and Peter Yeldon should report their loss to their local economic crime unit.
Hi Claire. Looks like your spelling has let you down again! My advice to you would be to stop trying to defend yourself by posting anonymous (spelled correctly!) messages. Tell me - why did you tell your employees that they would be paid by money stolen from Novus? Vajazzle was funded by money belonging to other people so why don't just repay it? Hey wouldn't it make a good advertising campaign - Have you been Vajazzled - no I've been embezzled! Sleep well Claire - prison cells are not very comfortable.
Im sorry somebody seems to be under the illusion that as the originator of this site i am defending Ms Jacobs , i am not and i could not care less about what she has allegedly scammed. My concern is Derham and if he is guilty then i hope he rots in hell.
For your information i went on to route planner and used the post code of the company she set up and you should look at the address on street view i wonder which one of the luxury flats and motor launch is hers or are they? rented????? owned????
