I think it would be useful if yourself, or one of your colleagues, could take a step back and explain who / what the sourced group are, and why most if not all of us have never heard of sourced. A history lesson if you like.
A crucial question is, in the light of the previous two posts, what are your plans to gain your own direct FCA authorisations ? For a multitude of reasons Rebs is like marmite in the p2p sector, and can provoke a very strong negative name recognition.
Thank you for the opportunity to expand on the Sourced group, we have been operating for almost two years and our group is made up off four sections: - Sourced Property - Sourced Developments - Sourced Capital - Sourced Franchise We have 50+ franchisees across the UK, our franchisees are trained and supported by the head office team, they identify investment opportunities that we can either sell via our sourced property brand which helps investors grow portfolios or they purchase the opportunity to renovate/convert/develop. Our development brand is run by a team of experienced people based at head office that currently manage over £260M of new build developments with our flagship site being Regent Plaza, Manchester. Sourced Capital is our peer to peer platform which supports both franchisee and head office projects with funding either via the platform or bridging partners, you can see on our platform that we are building this slowly with smaller projects having raised £1M over the past three months. We have a dedicated funding team based at head office that work hard to offer good investment opportunities for the platform that have passed a detailed due diligence process. The model we have is unique and we believe reduces risk for our investors given our borrowers are our franchisees who are trained and supported by the head office team. We utilise REBS as an umbrella for the FCA registration whilst working on a direct application. We would appreciate any feedback on the new look platform and the opportunity to work with any of the P2P forum investors on our projects. I am happy to answer any questions directly via email on stephen@sourced.co or on the forum. Have a good evening Stephen Thank you for the details. From what I read the group already had experience and hopefully successful ones. (Plaza manchester) Surely the people behind it have been trading for years and have trail of history? Are you able to provide information about the directors behind it and what are their trading history? It still sounds fairly opaque and the last thing we want to do is to invest in platforms with unknown directors which would fly away as soon as problems arise

I received an unsolicited email from them, so some other platform has leaked my details.

WARNING SOURCED CAPITAL SPAMMERS
I never signed up to these spammers at any time. I have repeatedly opted out of their emails but they continue to send spam emails. I have received yet another SPAM email from Sourced Capital today.
IF they wish to ignore the law regarding spamming and illegally obtain peoples emails to spam and think they are going to get away with it then this is going to be a costly exercise for them.

I too keep getting spam from them, if they are happy to ignore the law in this respect, then they are obviously totally untrustworthy Next years Collateral/Lendy maybe? certainly not ever going to see any of my funds.

We have a unsubscribe button on emails that allows people to remove themselves if they are not interested in the content. I have in the past provided my email for anybody that has requested confirmation of how they registered with Sourced and I am happy to do this again stephen@sourced.co. We are a very different model to the two companies mentioned and are not dependant on external funding or fees generated via funding, we are also ensuring our platform grows at a stable and manageable rate to deliver the projects we commit too.

An unsubscribe button is only of use if you remain unsubscribed. Given that just after I last unsubscribed it became apparent you also had my name, phone and probably therefore all my contact details, because someone phoned me up and asked for me by name to discuss a possible investment (details which were very definitely obtained in breach of GDPR regulations but given where they were obtained from and the amount I had invested there at the time I can see why the temptation might have been hard to resist) and I'm now being emailed again I have little faith that any of these were in fact deleted. However on the assumption that unsubscribe will at least work for whatever more recent "source" you've got it from I also have no desire to give you my email address again by contacting you given your prior inappropriate re-use of data. So whatevs - you can spam me as much as you like but you're never getting a penny from me.

It is also usually not advised to use an unsubscribe button, because it just confirms it is a real live email address the spammers have found.

So whatevs - you can spam me as much as you like but you're never getting a penny from me. Seconded. Unsubscribing merely confirms the validity of the E mail address I have never subscribed (and never will) and have never had any dealings with Sourced nor any associated company. you cannot convince me of your probity, and spamming me is a very good way to convince me of your inherent dishonesty. why should I e mail you to confirm my address for the benefit of the spurious information you promise? as you can gather I take a dim view of spam in my E mail, so I give notice that any future E mails will become chargeable, hourly rate * (time taken to read, + time taken to delete) + contribution towards bandwidth costs.

At least my last unsubscribe worked for about 7 months so perhaps they found me somewhere else...or perhaps they reloaded an old mailing list. Who knows.

Sourced is not offering anything new. What sourced is offering is already available by more established p2p providers like kuflink who also offer bonuses.
I want to know what sourced is offering that makes it stand out from the crowd?
Eg loanpad offered enhanced level of security.

Perhaps one of the Sourced reps on here would like to let us know form whom they purchased their contacts? Not a great way to entice new investors!

More spam from these idiots!!!
Unsubscribing doesn’t work.
How can I stop Sourced from spamming me?
I would not trust this company with 1 penny

Source have progressed from spam emails which don't stop after having unsubscribed to spam text messages to my mobile. If Sourced are happy to ignore the law on GDPR who's to say they aren't happy to ignore FCA rules too? This is not a good way to go about building a trustworthy reputation.
