SHELL "MAKE MONEY" COVER-UP: DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE OF HOW SHELL MANAGEMENT BLOCKED AND PERVERTED AN INVESTIGATION BY THE UK ADVERTISING STANDARDS AUTHORITY
My son conclusively proved during a meeting at his solicitors offices on 19 May 1994 attended by Shell managers and Shell lawyers that it was possibly for Shell staff to potentially extract ALL of the winning game pieces before they could be given to the intended recipients, drivers visiting participating Shell stations. Shell subsequently acted in breach of the agreement after allowing the defective promotion to run its full course over several weeks. The May 1994 gagging agreement had resulted from an approach to the then Chairman of Shell Transport, Sir John Jennings. The Make Money game had been secretly produced behind our backs in direct contravention of a joint rights agreement between our company and Shell. We sued Shell and they settled out of Court for £60,000.
Shell management had previously categorically denied that the Make Money game was being produced. We also sued Shell in respect of the "Nintendo" game mentioned in the same letter which had also been produced behind our backs after we had put the idea to Shell in strictest confidence. Shell settled that claim for £100,000.
There is more about the flawed Make Money game in the leaflet link below: -
"HOW SHELL CONNED UK MOTORISTS" (Leaflet published and distributed in November 98)
Reference is made in the letter to how Shell management deliberately blocked and perverted an official investigation by the UK Advertising Standards Authority into the flawed Make Money game: I have for the first time published below incontrovertible documentary evidence confirming this allegation was founded on fact. There is also further evidence of Shell's determined policy to hide information from its shareholders.
