«Breaking News» Private members' club owner gets court order to catch fraudsters

Robin Birley  (pictured in 2013) is having to use all his cunning to fight off cyber criminals 

Known as the king of clubs, Robin Birley, owner of exclusive private members’ club 5 Hertford Street, is familiar with many of high society’s hustlers and tricksters — and that’s just among his own members!

Now he is having to use all his cunning to fight off cyber criminals.

After several of his club members were targeted by online fraudsters posing as staff in an attempt to extract money under false pretences, Birley has been forced to call in the police and gone to court to identify the wrongdoers.

His 5 Hertford Street address clearly presents rich pickings for fraudsters. The club, which was founded by Robin, son of Annabel’s founder Mark Birley, and is frequented by the likes of supermodel Cara Delevingne and Bill Gates, charges members about £2,500 a year.

‘Over the summer our solicitors obtained court orders to enable a number of UK banks to provide us with documents to identify the owners of bank accounts being used in the fraud,’ says Birley. 

‘We have a great deal of information, which we are able to use to bring legal action against the people who appear to be involved in this fraud.

‘We are on the verge of commencing legal proceedings against them. None of the people we have identified have any connection with the club as far as we can tell, by which I mean they are not current or former employees.’

Although only a relatively small number of members have been misled into paying money, it seems the scammers remain as determined as ever. 

‘The one thing we have not yet been able to do is to prevent the phishing emails from being sent out,’ adds Birley. 

‘Unfortunately these emails are still going out on a regular basis to the club’s members and are, at a glance, very realistic.’

Labour MP Sir Mark Hendrick and his family have been given a free holiday by a lobbying company which has close ties to anti-Press group Hacked Off. 

They enjoyed a £945, three-night family break in Bordeaux, France, in October with transport, accommodation and food all paid for.

It was funded by Sovereign Strategy whose shareholders include Max Mosley, who has gifted Labour deputy leader Tom Watson’s office £500,000 in support and has had close ties with Hacked Off.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
