Original review Oct 21, 2020

Globaleye (GE) established an office in Brussels, employing former


Devere personnel and "parachuting" in VP to manage the office from the
UK where they were licensed. Progressively took over Devere clent base.
Client Risk Profiles were updated (My profile was cautious investor with
need to save of retirement) 2 x Investments were recommended for my
QROPS plan. Both according to my new IFA were high risk = high
commission > From one day to the next GE office in Brussels closed at
Belgium FSA had received complaints of there activities as they were
offering investment advice in Belgium without a license, the VP of te team
suddenly left BE and turned up in Dubai > The final investment proposal
he made was to invest substantial pension funds into New Earth Solutions
fund, it transpires that even as this was made the fund was already know
to be "distressed" and high risk not in line with my risk profile This resulted
in loss of GBP 173k > The second high risk investment was immediately
moved to another investment fund suited to my risk profile, for future
pension > I have attempted to claim for mis-selling from GE for the first
fund since 2016, but continually are transferred to different Customer
Service/Customer Complaints/Compliance individuals who all seem to
move on or disappear once a response or decision is needed from GE
side , nobody is prepare to admit they acted outside of the rules or ignored

Aaron Pacitti is a crook


Dec 23, 2017

Aaron Pacitti approached me several years ago and proposed to invest in


a UK based bond (OMI) for which he got a very rich commission. He then
converted very cleverly my portfolio into being skewed to a fund based in
Luxembourg named Columna. I found out only later he had interest in the
fund as well being the fund advisor. Now the fund has been suspended
and is in liquidation and no money to be found. Aaron Pacitti being hiding
in Dubai driving around in Lamborghini and pretending not to have any
responsibility. People like me lost a lot of money as he managed to place
millions in this fake found of his and leaving with all the money. Do not
trust him, he looks very prepared and very professional but is nothing but
a dirty crook.

You should contact David Mapley a Swiss investigator who is now head of
the umbrella structure LFP1 in Luxembourg under which this fraud was
perpetrated. You have very good prospects of recovering your losses as
there is a great deal of negligence on the part of fund managers and
auditors even if recovery of defrauded monies proves elusive.

As to crooks like Pacitti they belong in prison and the industry needs to
step up and start policing itself to a higher standard. I strongly disagree
with William, Globaleye and Old Mutual ( a 173 year multi billion company
) should be held liable for facilitating this kind of fraud.

his racist overtones and his *** sexual advances are just pathetic. I was

to sell off its office in hongkong just so it can survive a few more months.

This company is totally unethical.


Aug 02, 2017 1.0

This company will try and rip you off. Their so called advisers are in the
main totally untrained and have very little knowledge of investments,
savings and pensions. They get very little training consisting of under a
week where they basically learn a sales script. They are all commission
only and are encouraged to sell plans that make the most money for the
company and themselves whilst neglecting what is best for the client. The
Globaleye
management give themselves Reviews

President called Andy Menzies. In truth he makes Arthur Daly and Derek
Trotter look respectable. He would be more at home as a second hand car
dealer. If you value your hard earned money do not go near this man and

earned money at risk whilst at the same times lining their own pockets.

Jul 16, 2017 1.0

i worked for Globaleye in the UAE, and when I left I had a claw back pot of
$15,000 USD. Timothy Searle who professes to the media to be as honest
as the day is long , has stolen my money and others as well who have left.
Hi is nothing more than a common thief, who drives around Dubai in a
Bentley or Rolls Royce. Both paid for by the rip off merchant's firm of
advisers. They sell 25 year plans and make tens of thousands in
commission for this. He also gets thousands off them for being in charge.
Loads of his so called advisers have no qualifications, and one called
Idnan Malik has changed his name three times, due to his reputation. His
son is the Operations manager, well in name. No experience or knowledge
of operational management. Paid 75k GBP and drives a flash Mercedes.
No doubt daddy will gloss over the fact he is totally incompetent. Mind you
Timothy Searle is a bumbling *** and a tyrant and a thief, so what do you
expect. So beware if a Globaleye salesmen cold calls you or is introduced,
don't be fooled by smoth talk, as you will be ripped off and regret it.

I had a meeting with a Waqas Babar who moved my pension from the UK
to a Qrops. This was all in order and I was happy until it came to investing
the funds. Waqas recommended four funds all of which he pushed despite
my reservations on a couple. I went with his advice as he was the
supposed expert. One fund has gone belly up called New Earth and I have
lost 37,000 pounds because of his bad advice. The other three I found out
paid him commission which he denied. I made a complaint to their
management and was informed that in the small print I had chosen the
funds!! READ IT AND DO NOT TRUST WHAT YOU ARE TOLD.. I have
moved my account from Globaleye some years ago, and have
subsequently managed to recoup my losses. This is due to dealing with a
proven company and advisor. So do not be taken in like I was and deal

Sep 09, 2017 1.0

I was persuaded to join Globaleye from another company stupidly. The


company I had come from was very professional and had a strict dress
code and the male staff all shaved and wore business attire. My first day I
was amazed at how unprofessional the whole set up was. People dressed
like they were in the circus including the boss!! He had a suit that was
green striped fluorescent green lining, matching green glasses. Add the
pink shirt red socks and horrendous tie that looked like someone had
thrown up on it, completed the ensemble. If this wasn't bad enough staff
had unshaven stubble and part beards. Whilst this is not a crime, I saw it
as wholly unprofessional and not how a representative of a financial
company should present. I would have thrown them out of my office if they
came for an appointment with me. Then there was the manager who I saw
once during the week I worked there. He didn't even say hello, did not hold
any meetings with the staff. I would come in at 08.30, and between 9 and
Globaleye
10 am a few would drift in, make

Whilst i disagree with facial hair determining professionalism of a

genuinely thought he was a hired magician at first.

On a separate note, speaking to him was full of racial undertones about


which nationality of clients he would like to see sign for Globaleye. Horrible

Timothy Searle CEO


Aug 24, 2017

Tim Searle is a vindictive spiteful bully. He portrays himself as a wonderful


employer, but is in fact a thief and a cheat. He has had a mass exodus of
staff across the board from Globaleye. He has treated admin staff who are
paid pitiful salaries with complete spitefulness. One who resigned from the
Abu Dhabi office, has been made to serve out her final month's notice in
the Dubai office. Pure spite, as the poor girl has to get up two hours earlier
than normal. Has to pay to travel by bus, then is two hours later in arriving
home. He deliberately delays visa cancellation's to be awkward. But the
worst is that he steals the advisers money he keeps out of there
commissions. Stating it is a claw back pot, minimum amount held $15,000
USD. When you leave he keeps it, saying until policies come off risk this is
needed. Even when there are no policies on risk he keeps it. Nothing more
than a common thief, with no ethic or morals. Yet he portrays himself as a
savior to this terrible tainted business. This as he swans around Dubai in a
Rolls Royce or a Bentley.

Idnan Malik is a thief


Apr 25, 2017 1.0

Idnan Malik is a fraud and a thief. Last year he had a new employee, UK
Level Four qualified, and stole commission, clients and a database from
him. The employee was reduced to eating at the charity of his local
mosque and his wife in the UK had to pawn her jewellry to raise the
money to get him out of Qatar. Malik is a truly awful person who works for
an awful company (Globaleye protected Malik although the management
knew all the details). The only consolation one has is that the new Dubai
regulations will shaft Globaleye and all the other similar sharks so badly
that one can only hope it and they don't survive.
