The high-street chain Coffee Republic, which collapsed into administration two years ago, aims to reinvent itself with Terence Conran-designed interiors, a fresh expansion programme and a revamped franchise structure under new Middle Eastern owners.



Affara blamed the company's property structure for its failure, saying the parent company was named on the leases of all its franchisees' stores, leaving it vulnerable to the credit crunch from landlords when troubled store operators failed to pay their rent: "What we had was a company that went into administration because of its structure. The central plc was on the head leases for all the franchised stores. When things got a little bit tough, the franchisees stopped paying those leases."

Yes, that sounds a pretty clear scam - he's probably trying to get an advance fee out of you for the deal (after which nothing more will be heard, unless he's cheeky enough to "discover" another fee that needs paying), or wants to get your bank details...

The "no time to mess" stuff is nonsense, of course - if there's enough time to mess around with email exchanges, there's enough time to write a cheque and post it!

a warning to all.
some one just tried to scam me?
he as the share holders list for coffee republic
he just rang my numbert?
they new how many coffee republic shares i held told me someone was buying the rights to the company and needed 51% of the old shares and would be paying between 32p and £2 a share for them.
he wants your email address to send a claim form so the money can be paid into your bank .
when i told him i did not have one and post me the cheuqe , they cant do that as there is no time to mess.
told him send it to my broker cant do that as it is a secret buy?
just a warning to all
i dont fall for scams like that, but some might.

.........what a disaster from top to bottom. Would have been better to have gone bust 2 years ago instead of letting amateurs on to run it. Thank christ for Starbucks.
