This conman and fraudster should be avoided and arrested to prevent more incidents to decent people. He continues to harass people and now under the assistant of an illegal woman. She is illegal from Jamaica and leaves her daughter unattended and in the presence of monster Horace Monkey. They both under investigations by the fraud and police. Be careful and report him.

Mr Moseley also uses the name Williams and is currently with another woman he is conning by the name of Morgan who is on a limited stay in the uk.
He is currently living at 13 Norfolk road E17 5QS and has not paid any rent to date. He is being taken to court. He lies so much.his number is [protected]. Be aware he is a fraud and conman and do not do any deals. He has been reported for fraud.

This man is DISGUSTING. He took deposits from tenants to rent my house out to them last year. Not only did he run off with two months of the rent money, he also took their deposit which should have been held somewhere. Fortunately for me I realized that he was suspicious and got a solicitor friend involved. Being the coward that these con men usually are, he backed off quickly. I now have to find a way to try and get the tenants their deposit back. He is a lying dog who needs to be arrested for perpetrating frauds all over London

This guy did not do anything to return my money. I applied for a third party debt order after receiving the county court judgement in my favor. The money was taken out of his bank account by the bank and then paid to me by the bank on the order of court. Thanks to God for helping me get back my hard earned money from this cheat.

Hi I am a youth worker and this man has done the same thing to an innocent young person that I work with. He showed her the property at 130 Manor Road Dagenham and because she was desperate to find somewhere to live with her newly born baby, he said if she gave him £300 he could ensure that he will not let out the property to anyone else until she can get the council to give rent deposit scheme. She gave him the money on Saturday 10th May and when she called again this morning to confirm the rent he said he would call back as he was driving. I typed his number into google and I found all of these complaints.

I was hoping that he wasn't a conman, but Horace Williams aka Moseley is just that:
His current business is H&L estate & letting agents, hnlestate.co.uk
I was in the process in purchasing a property. I went to see the property, liked it, put in an offer, it was accepted. The estate agent asked me to pay £1000 ''goodwill deposit'' so that he could take the property off the market and not show it to anyone else. I did this. The contract I signed stated clearly that the deposit would be refundable to me in the event the vendor pulled out, but not if I pulled out of the deal. In the event, the vendor pulled out. I then requested my deposit back but was fended off by the estate agent with a barrage of excuses ranging from he was off-sick and couldn't get to work to transfer the money, his tenents had stopped paying him money and therefore he didn't have the money immediately, his bank account had been suspended as he became overdrawn. He is refusing to give me back my deposit despite having signed a very clear contract and receipt. The estate agency is also not a member of a professional ombudsman body which he must be in order to sell houses.

I met him today and he gave me a cheque from ''Quick N Easy estate agents'' which is obviously one of his sham/bust companies.
I am meeting with him again on 16/04/14 in the evening. I hope that some of you please get in touch with me to talk about him and strategise some sort of plan of action. I want to get back my money and I want this cheat and miserable person to suffer.
please email me on viklondon@live.com with the subject being ''Horace''
Thank you

PLEASE DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS MAN - he may even pretend he's not Horace Moseley, but he is. Horace Moseley is a black Caribbean African man of middle age who drives a large saloon BMW.

I was also conned by this man. He phones you up, you look at a flat, he takes you to his office, he takes your holding fee (in cash), he then asks for you to place down a large deposit to secure the flat the next day. He may even give you a receipt if you ask for it. He has no intention of giving you the flat and you will never see him again.

The man is a complete con artist. His company is liquidated / he's trading illegally.

I am also a victim of him. He took money for deposit plus one month rent and disappeared. He used my property to ge money from local council who I am now pursuing as he had no term and conditions signed by landlord and yet council paid this to his account. By 2013 he was calling his lets as H&L lets agent. He is a con man who instead of at least paying £20 for deposit scheme on mydeposit as he states on his contract he disappears with full amount. This was done 2013 and I need to pursue him to court now.

Dear All,

I have instructed Sentinel Debt Recovery and they are enforcing my CCJ against him for money he conned me out of. I would suggest anyone who has also been conned by this 'man' (i use the term lightly because he is far from a man). Pursue a money claim against him using money claims online it is very easy. You'll get a judgement as he doesn't contest it. Then instruct Sentinel on: [protected] and www.areyouowedmoney.co.uk.
And one thing to be aware of name him PERSONALLY not the company so you can go after his assets personally.
I hope every single person he has conned out there see this and take him to the cleaners just like I am. You go around conning people Horace this is what you're going to get back you crossed the wrong person when you crossed me.

Horace put in tennants into my property who defaulted on rent on the first month. I am now in the process of evicting them and Horace took a large sum of money from me including VAT for the first years rent. I now have to recover this money in pro rata. He illegaly applied VAT to his invoice as well. I have every intention of chasing him through the courts.

Any links you have would be helpful

Are you a friend of Horace who is trying to save him? Why don't you call him and check. Recently this fraudster has closed r-reed as well and might be interested in finding new ways of cheating others. He is also having a ccj on his home from British Gas. There are lots of articles on net stating different stories of cheating from him. I wonder if his wife and son knows how big fraud, liar, cheat is Horace. I have still not received any money back.

Absolutely terrible company. Its owner Horace Moseley is very good in talking and cheating others. In the month of March I paid him 6 weeks deposit and 1 month rent in advance for renting a flat in Ilford and also paid him letting fees in full. At the last moment when I was to collect keys and contract papers from him, he calls me and says that the flat is no longer available immediately as the tenants who are staying in the flat requires more time to vacate. Also, he said that the owner of the flat require more rent than what has been agreed. He offered me to refund me my full amount if I am no longer happy with this new deal. I asked for a refund and am still running behind him to get my hard earned money back. It was a big pain and harassment for me and my family (that includes my wife and six month old baby) to find an alternative place to stay at such short notice.
My life has totally changed due to this as I am the only earning member in the family. Most of the time he will not pick up the phone, voicemail will be full, will say I am driving, I am with my son, I am with my family, I am out of London and so on.. When personally managed to meet him somehow, he will promise to pay back in 2 days, sometimes 1 week and so on. He also gave me a post-dated cheque once which bounced on depositing in bank. It has been around 2 months now and I am still waiting to get my money back from him (total of £1850.00). Being the only earning member in my family, I am now going through severe struggle in my life as I had to pay another deposit for the alternative flat where I am staying currently. Now I have no option left than to drag him to court for which I have now started legal proceedings.
Beware and don't get caught out like me. Earlier he was running his business under the name of Rosetta Reed estate agent and now he is running his business under the name of R-Reed estate agent. Also, he is running his business illegally in UK as his firm is not registered with any of the UK governing bodies like Property Ombudsman or Office of Fair Trading. Beware of people like him if you don’t want to lose your valuable money.
