Please read background on Iain Lewington below:
Iain Lewington runs a website called www.bettingsystemreviews.co.uk and with this he likes to review other tipster websites and make false claims. My website was recommended by Iain at first until he turned into a despicable human being and did what he does best. He cheated me like he has cheated all of you. I started being a member of other tipster services and then I decided to give up work and earn a living from horse racing tips.
I was given the chance for a free trial with this new bulk sender so I thought why not expose Iain for the type of man he is. My account will probably get closed down but at least I can expose him for who he is.
I do not want to give you my name for confidentiality but I can tell you that I asked him for a review of my service a fair few months ago and he turns round and says its crap and he told me hes going to give me a 1 star rating without even testing it out. Now that pissed me off how can someone give a review to something they havent even tried. I started to sell my system to my readers and Iain being the cock he is he emailed his readers to tell them how shit my system is. I then called accused him of doing this because he wanted commission for his sales. He then removed a 5 Star rating for another one of my systems from his website. He is a hipocite. The thing is that I moved on made a few new websites and my good name is still well known to all my old members. I never need to hide my name unlike Iain.
The bloke is a complete idiot and I want to tell you why. Read below and make up your mind.
1) Iain ran a service called Abacus Racing. This is where he asked members to send him their money and he would manage their accounts. When his system did not work he stopped the service and ran away with over £100,000.

And the list goes on and on. Go to www.google.com and type in Iain Lewington Scam and see what comes up.
2) Iain lies about his address online at www.bettingsystemsreviews.co.uk and steals other peoples identities.
If you do a WHO IS search go to www.whois-search.com and type in www.bettingsystemreviews.co.uk you will see the following pop up:
Domain name:
bettingsystemreviews.co.uk
Registrant:
Iain Lewington
Registrant type:
UK Individual
Registrant's address:
PO Box 1294, 372 Old Street
London
London
EC1V 9LT
GB
I can tell you that this is NOT Iain Lewingtons address.
If you google this address you will see that in fact it belongs to:
Gabrieli Ltd. The Gabrieli Consort & Players
372 Old Street
London
EC1V 9LT
tel: 01892545021
So why does Iain Lewington use a fake address on his who is profile? Is it because he is a legit person?
If you dont believe me why dont you call Gabrieli Ltd and ask them? I already have. If you do a who-is search in another few days Iain will have changed his address again.
3) Iain has also used various of other fake addresses in the past as well.
On the 21st of September a who-is search showed that Iains address was:
20 Winchombe st,
Cheltenham
Gloucestshire
GL52 2LY
A further look at this address shows that it in fact belongs to Matt Garrett (nagnagnag.co.uk). I have also emailed Matt to let know and comments were posted online which is why I expect he changed it.
In fact the real address of Iain Lewington is:
Iain Lewington
20 Beecham Place
St Leonards on Sea
East Sussex
TN38 9BP
4) After failing with SEVERAL horse racing systems and with the mess of Abacus Racing (in which he was forced by the law to pay back some of those people he had scammed) Iain then decided to lay low and set up his review website.
This is anything but an independent website. He does not review any websites. In fact he gives systems a 1 star rating without reviewing them. He emails the websites first and asks if they have a commission structure and how much he will get paid. If he does not get at least 75% recurring commission he gives you a bad review. Of course he gives a few good reviews without asking for anything to keep his website looking legit.
He calls his website UNBIASED AND ACCURATE REVIEWS but this is far from it.
I have also seen that another review website which looks at betting systems has now flagged Iain Lewington as a scam as well.
See below an article written by a guy called Ken at the Online Betting Exposed website.
Ken writes:
http://www.bettingsystemreviews.co.uk/horseracingtips.htm is a website run by someone called Iain Lewington.
He is a horse racing tipster with an awful record of picking tips. I was a member with him at one of his “many” services and I lost over £5000.
He has also run various illegal businesses in the past as well.
See various articles:
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=877646
http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=42284
He set up a review website to pretend to be a neutral independent website that reviews other websites, and through this he promotes his own horse racing tips at a cost of course.
Further information on who is shows his address to be:
20 Winchombe st,
Cheltenham
Gloucestshire
GL52 2LY
If you google this address, you will find out that he is not at this address, it is a company address of:
http://www.gmcoinsonline.co.uk/acatalog/info.html
If you want his correct home address if you have been scammed, it is:
Iain Lewington
20 Beecham Place
St Leonards on Sea
East Sussex
TN38 9BP
I also understand he runs lots of scam websites with Kelly Fitzgerald as well. You can google both of them.
I always recommend googling any website before signing up, whether it be free tips, a tipster or a newsletter
Another commeny by Jim shows:

Also appears to be the registered address of Matt Garrett (nagnagnag,co,uk)
as i’m in Gloucester i may have to drop by and check it out

4) Within Iains website which he claims to be reviewing other websites he sells his horse racing tips
http://www.bettingsystemreviews.co.uk/horseracingtips.htm
He runs an independent reviewing service but he promotes his own tips? How does that work. And get this he charges for them as well.
I have also heard that he is doing "special deals" for some members and charging them money to manage their betfair accounts again. These people will lose a lot of money when he runs away again. And this time the police may not be able to stop him.
The list goes on. He also copies his tips from 2 websites of which both owners have complained and are after legal representation.
The results listed on his website are false, and so much more.
5) Iain Lewington is working with a well known SCAM lady called Kelly Fitzgerald.
Dont take my word for it, it is reported on SCAM.COM as:
His partners name (who has run many scams herself, lottery, trading and run off with peoples money too) is called Kelly Fitzgerald
Link: http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=42284
Kelly has actually been charged by the Police for several scam systems and now runs the website below:
http://www.winningsystems.co.uk/
6) To finish off a few more comments I found in Google.You can find these too with a simple google search:
"Iain Lewington is an absolute and a conman, i joined his tipster service abacusracing a couple of years back and went on to lose quite a hefty sum of money in a trading scam that he ran, i was stupid and gullible i know but its a lesson learnt".
"I paid someone called Iain Lewington to invest for me on my behalf, he said he would make me guaranteed profits on betfair but he didn't return my money or send me any profits. Did anyone else get conned by Iain Lewington and did you manage to do anything about it? Thanks in advance".
"I was conned by this Iain Lewington bloke for 18 months and lost £4500. Thank goodness my wife didn't find out. He will stop at nothing to get your money, his most recent outfits include Abacus Racing (site now gone) and bettingsystemreviews.co.uk, can't remember the names of his other 2 or 3 outfits. He is or was a useless failed chef as well, he wasn't getting paid much probably so decided to con people online out of their hard earned money with his scheming to pay the rent".
"Beware of Iain Lewington who runs bettingsystemreviews.co.uk he previously ran a scam called Abacus Racing which ran an illegal trading scheme. Iain Lewington took over £50,000 ($100,000) of members money then disappeared! A few people got their money back after getting the authorities involved, but many people were ripped off and never saw their money again. I got my money back from Iain Lewington after dozens of excuses, delaying tactics from him but after he got a letter from my solicitor he eventually caved in and returned my money. Which according to Iain Lewington was supposed to be 100% "safe and secure" in his hands and would be returned at any time".
"Iain Lewington claimed that Betfair (where he was placing the trades with his members monies) was down which was complete BS. Beware of the Iain Lewington new site bettingsystemreviews.com it is a complete con, he now is pretending to be a professional gambler who recommends and reviews other tipster services. Its basically another one of those phoney review sites which are run by conmen, ex conmen who have lost their credibility and now want to appear as an "authority" to squeeze some more cash out of gullible people and get them to click on their affiliate links, believe they are good guys while they plug their own service etc....this is what Iain Lewington is doing. And combined in all this is a similar tipping service he runs on the site, similar to Abacus Racing which took illegal deposits from people then Iain Lewington did a runner with the money!".
"I was scammed by iain lewington too! he caught me out to the tune of $2,400 with his abacus racing con, still ain't got my money returned to me....his latest scam is betting system reviews uk , unfortunately many gullible newbies will still get tricked by this guy! beware of iain lewington"!
"I got a solicitor/lawyer involved but I think he counts on the fact that too many people find it too much hassle to get them involved so he just wears people down with excuses, delays etc until they give up so he can keep all the money. Iain Lewington needs to be stopped before he scams hundreds more people with his fraud! Any more victims of Iain Lewington please speak up so ACTION can be taken against this guy! Don't just sit and suffer, if someone stole money from you in the street you wouldn't just forget about it would you. If someone steals money from you online through trickery and deception its still theft! What Iain Lewington has done to you is THEFT, plain and simple so please speak up if you have been done over by him as well".
"This fraudster Iain Lewington is STILL at it! Got a couple of email warnings from him (on betting schemes he didn't even bother to test, although he should be able to spot scams being a conman himself I guess!) from his phony review site - the sole purpose being to gain some credibility/trust from guillible newbies then Iain Lewington went in for the kill and has followed up with two scam promotions"!
Again please do not take my word for it go to www.google.com and you will see all these articles. If you are using a system based on an Iain Lewington review I would assess the system correctly and not listen to a CON man like him.
I recommend all people to steer well clear of this cock and if you have lost any money from him please go and pay him a home visit at:
Iain Lewington
20 Beecham Place
St Leonards on Sea
East Sussex
TN38 9BP
and ask him for your money back. If you have not got your money back so far email him and tell him you want it back. If he refuses go visit him.
There have been a lot of false allegations circulating the internet of late in an attempt to have my website taken down. My website has saved punters a small fortune but at the same time this is costing system sellers a small fortune also. They are obviously very unhappy about this and I have even had a death threat if I failed to remove one of my reviews. The review is still on my website by the way as I refuse to be beaten by these people.
I came across a website yesterday which copied my reviews word for word. After taking action the website owner has decided to mass email there lists in an attempt to slur my character. Although they remained anonymous when doing so I actually know who is behind the website and the email. I used to work very closely with this person but in doing so they thought that I would hype there systems up and give them false ratings to increase there sales. When I refused they took offence and decided to try and start there own website up to rival my own. It of course failed so they thought they would just copy my reviews instead. Again this failed as I took action and had the reviews removed. The email states that I am actually a con man and am out to scam all who visit my website.
There are false allegations circulating forums and chat rooms and to be honest I actually laugh at most of them. There are addresses and names that are sussposed to be associated to me and I even read a claim that I ripped punters off for half a million pound. If I had half a million pound I wouldn’t be sat here now writing this email.
Let me put the record straight. I did run a trading service a few years back using my real name IAIN LEWINGTON. The service was very profitable at first and I made a lot of money for myself and my members. A problem arose when I placed a large win bet on a short priced horse on Betfair. When I went to lay the horse to lock in a profit Betfair went down due to an attck on there servers. The race was run and the horse finished 2nd losing a large sum of money. I provided members with proof of the bet placed and proof that the Betfair website did go down. Most members never lost out as they had made significant profits before hand but yes some did. Those that did were either refunded by me or received charge backs on there credit cards.
What amazes me is that I have all these allegations against me yet I can say hand on heart that not one person has contacted me to say I still owe them money.
I lost several thousands of pounds of my own money and actually took a year off from gambling as the financial loss was a big setback to my family.
It was during this time I decided to use my experience to good effect and form the betting system reviews website. I again use my real name which is IAIN LEWINGTON. If I had anything to hide do you think I would be stupid enougth to use the same name again?
My website is free to use so I am unsure how I am scamming punters. I do of course receive affiliate payments and why shouldn’t I. I work 16 hours days keeping the website running and answering the many hundreds of emails I receive daily.
Unlike others I don’t say a system is good to receive an affiliate payment. Look on other websites and compare there reviews to mine. Very often they hype up systems that I give a one star rating.
It’s unfortuante that I have to write this email but I hope this explains everything. As I said I will not be beaten and I will continue to expose those systems and scams.
I hope you will continue to read my reviews.
Kind Regards
Iain Lewington”
Somebody else ? What do think about it ?
With ref…Iain Lewington’s email…..
“Let me put the record straight. I did run a trading service a few years back using my real name IAIN LEWINGTON.

Those that did were either refunded by me or received charge backs on there credit cards”
I do remember many complaints about this chap (Iain Lewington) on a once active forum called goodbet (now defunct). I don’t remember the full details but many of his customers were furious saying they lost some big dosh with him and he had done a runner lol….
His claim in his email that betfair was down so he lost everyones money doesn’t seem credible.
Neither does his claim that he refunded peoples money, if he was returning peoples money why were there credit card chargebacks?
Credit card chargebacks proves he was refusing to return peoples money and they resorted to chargebacks as a last resort to get their money back.

Thanks for warning! some time ago this ''wonderful '' site was put on auction. Don't know how it ended. Sadly the internet has become a safe heaven to all kinds of scamers.
