                                      If you buy goods on the internet, you still have the same rights as if you were shopping on the high street, in relation to faulty or poorly described goods.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
In addition, you are entitled to a seven working-day ‘cooling off’ period.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 If you are still not sure about shopping online please contact me….Uk shops are now offering bargains that would be hard to match here in Spain!</description>

                                      August Appeal Update&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 August 27th, 2009 |  Author: UKS Team &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well it´s been a while now since we launched our €1 Appeal and on the whole the response we´ve received has been very positive and donations are starting to trickle in. However, some of the comments we´ve had have not been so positive…in fact some of them have been downright nasty, suggesting we´re on a personal crusade to line our own pockets. So we´d like to put the record straight…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We came up with the idea for the Appeal as a way to help others NOT ourselves. And by ´others´ we mean people of all nationalities - Spanish, English, you name it - who were affected by the fire in Mojacar. When we got started we weren´t sure exactly how we could help, we just knew that we had to do something. But if we´re asking you to contribute to the Appeal it´s only fair that you´d be skeptical and want to know what the money is going to be used for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what will we do with the money that´s donated? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth is, we don´t how much money this Appeal will raise…it might be €50, €500, €5000  or more! At this point we just don´t know. What we DO know is that we want this money to go to those who need it most yet we´re not in a position to decide if one person is more deserving than another. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So we´ve decided to support the efforts being made by the Town Hall in Mojacar (Ayuntamiento de Mojacar). They´ve currently got a registration scheme in place for people affected by the fire and we´ve decided to donate the proceeds of the Appeal to support their work. In that way we can be sure that the money is going directly to supporting the very people this Appeal was set up to help. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, we know some of you may not think this is the right decision, however it´s the one we think is fairest and most transparent…but we´re open to suggestions so we´re giving you the opportunity to share your thoughts on how we should use the money we raise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simply use the comments box below to share your suggestions and we´ll review them. At the end of September, we´ll choose the 3 most popular suggestions and let you vote for the best one. Your vote will determine how we use the money raised from the Appeal.  All we ask is that you keep your comments constructive and civil  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you´ve got any questions about the Appeal, you can use the space below to ask OR you can give us a call…better still, if you´re in Mojacar, pop into our office and we´d be happy to answer your questions face to face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for your support and interest in our appeal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Please direct all comments to the blog Thanks</description>

                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: darkblue&quot;&gt;Financial Services, Planners, Offshore Banking - Know More&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear members &amp;amp; guests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the continuous marketing approach of our expatriate community by mutiple financial planners services company, Allo' Expat has decided to provided you with some usefull imformation on the Expat Offshore Banking issue. Hope you'll invest wisely..... in the future&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: darkblue&quot;&gt;Financial Advisors - who are they? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Q1 - How do I get the best offshore financial advice?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best offshore financial advice is probably given by Independent Financial Advisors. Independent financial advisors (or IFA's, as they are sometimes called) advise their clients on savings, investments and pensions. They may also provide Savings Plans for offshore investing to their clients.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When counselling a client, the best offshore financial advisors should complete the following steps:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * Step 1 - collect detailed information about a client's financial circumstances and requirements ? be they for retirement planning, retirement income, expat investment, or another purpose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * Step 2 - check all the offshore tax havens for the best offshore plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * Step 3 - provide impartial advice as to which plan(s) best meet their client's needs (in the form of a written report).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * Step 4 - arrange for a client to buy the chosen offshore plan(s) on the best terms available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may want to complete your own research to ensure you know the right questions to ask your advisor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When all these stages are completed, you can be confident you have received the best offshore financial advice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Q2 - What is a Certified Financial Advisor?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Financial advisors may need a license to practice, issued by the Financial Services Regulator in their Country. Only these advisors may be called 'Certified Financial Advisors'.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It may be a condition that prospective certified financial advisors show their Regulator that they are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * competent to advise&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * impartial in their advice&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * independent of Providers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * covered by professional indemnity insurance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So it is important to check that your financial advisor is listed under:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * Certified Financial Advisors, licensed to advise in the Country where you live and&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * Independent Financial Advisors - advising on a wide range of offshore plans from a full list of providers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now you should feel confident you are receiving the best offshore financial advice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Q3 - How are offshore financial advisors paid?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Independent financial advisors (IFA's) earn their living from commissions they receive from plan providers. This is their income for the offshore financial advice they give.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The commission that advisors (IFAs) receive from offshore financial advice cases may range from hundreds to thousands of dollars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good offshore financial advisors should not be influenced by the amount of commission they receive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some clients prefer to pay fees to their financial advisors for advice to ensure impartiality. When this occurs offshore financial advisors refund commission received from a plan provider either in cash or as an increased allocation of contributions invested.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Q4 -How do I find a list of Independent Financial Advisors (IFAs)?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Search the web! Try searching using the search words independent financial advisors or certified financial advisors PLUS the name of the Country in which you live.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Personal recommendations are always helpful - ask your friends if they would recommend their offshore financial advisors. Always check that a recommended advisor is both certified and independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: darkred&quot;&gt;Offshore Investing - What do that mean&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Q1 - What is Offshore Investing or Offshore Investment?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When we talk about Offshore investing plan opportunities it is like the savings plans available in many countries, except these plans:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * Are registered in tax havens and are regulated by their Financial Services Authorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * Can be used for investing by non-residents of the tax havens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * Are sometimes more tax efficient than or have other advantages over domestic savings plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Q2 - Why would expatriates choose offshore investing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Expatriate investment in the savings plans catalogued here and offering offshore investing opprotunities might be appropriate when:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * No local or Home Country tax free regular savings plans are available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * No local or Home Country tax free lump sum investment plans are available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * An expatriate is planning to retire to a third country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you fit any of these categories of expatriates you should investigate the offshore plans researched by Offshore Boffin and consult your Financial Advisor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Q3 - Are there other people who might benefit from Offshore Invesment?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. People who are not living abroad might find offshore investment attractive in the following circumstances:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * They have more cash available for savings than can be invested tax free in their resident countries' investment plans (perhaps because the amount they can invest each year is capped).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * They may live in countries which do not have domestic tax free savings plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * They live in countries which are not suitable long-term investment environments for political or economic reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * They wish to limit the effects of inheritance tac on their estates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Q4 - Is there safe offshore investing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answer is that All investors should remember that the value of ALL their investments can go down as well as up!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Safe offshore investing is more likely by choosing plans:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * From politically stable tax havens - the quality of tax havens varies. &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  * From well-regulated tax havens - the tax havens whose savings plans are catalogued here all regulate their financial services companies to avoid 'fly-by-night' companies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * From reputable investment management and life assurance companies - whilst past performance is not always a guide to the future, the companies whose savings plans are listed here are all well-known names.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    * Investing in 'mutual' or 'collective' funds. these funds are based on a simple idea. If a large number of investors pool their savings in - for example - an equity fund, the larger fund can be invested in shares in many companies, spreading each individual's risk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;For expat investment - and others - to be successful the best offshore investment opportunities must be found. For that you'll need a good Financial Advisors.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: darkblue&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description>
