Fortress Capital Partners went bust in September last year.
The firm owed £18million and left 230 people out of pocket.
It reportedly borrowed money from investors including Boyzone star Shane Lynch and Mario Falcone from TOWIE, then lent it out at higher interest rates.
It has now emerged the firm is the subject of a probe by officers at the Metropolitan Police.
The force said: “We can confirm that officers from the Met’s Economic Crime Team are investigating allegations of fraud made to police on 10 November 2023 following a referral from Action Fraud.
“There have been no arrests. Enquiries are ongoing.”
The Readings splashed out millions on luxury investment properties in the UK, Dubai and Spain.
McTominay, 27, lent Fortress £1million to buy one in Portugal.
The footie star now stands to get back just £100,000 after administrators confirmed investors are expected to get just 10p of every £1 they put in.
One investor told of their anger over Reading’s social media posts flaunting her “luxury lifestyle”.
They told the Sun on Sunday: “There is a photo of Cam blowing a kiss with a glass of Champagne at a Claridge’s hotel room with Scott. It really rubs salt in the wound for those of us who’ve lost our life savings or face losing their homes.
“There’s another pic from Instagram of Ashley, his wife, Cam and her sister. They always seemed to be going on holiday. At one point, they were in Dubai for months and months.”
Cameron has been forced to sell properties in Dubai and Spain to help settle her debts.
She was approached for comment by The Scottish Sun.
