I think he has his wires crossed. I accused Fat Prophets of selling their clients details – mine included.
When I (foolishly) bought a subscription to Fat Prophets a while back I almost immediately started receiving phone calls from other share/investment companies asking for me by name. It hadn’t happened before I signed up but the same week I gave Fat P my details I was swamped with calls. Obviously someone had sold my details. Whether it was done as normal Fat Prophets procedure or one of the staff making some cash on the side I can't say.
"Fatprophets" Junior Member (never gave me his name) contacted me via PM and I gave him the names of the people I’d dealt with at Fat P and when. I’ve never heard anything back from him. I've heard enough now to think that it is/was normal policy for Fat Prophets to sell client lists.
Now 'John Bennet' has come lurking around our forum trying to source the rot. He's looking in the wrong place. He needs to look closer to home. Psst, it starts at the head John.
