Fraudsters
Was watching Spotlight on the other night and these fraudsters, or con men for the want of a better word were ripping people’s life savings off with very clever financial techniques, with fancy offices and tailor made suits these guys had the appearance of a genuine profitable financial company with a great looking website and profitable returns promised!
The ploy was asking people for money which they said they would hold and if anything, lets say went tits up (not their words) they would still have their £10,000 safe, but should things work out as they see the market go then that £10,000 could turn into 20 or 30 grand very quickly, now obviously they went into a lot of detail with how they would do it and so on, but at the end of the day they were just stealing people’s savings and they never paid it back as the contracts were made up in such a way that they held all the aces regardless of the promises that the initial loan was always going to be safe!
They were from Bangor and had set up previous companies under different names after each of them were closed due to financial irregularities. they have since the Spotligt show, set up in London under a different name.
I’m wondering how common is it to be fooled/scammed by these f**kers? They targeted small business owners and the likes of people with good jobs who had cash in the bank that wasn’t making them money, so it wasn’t your old granny without a pot to piss in.
I've no savings so they would be wasting their time on me
