Hi All
Then… come back a few months later to try and get some more money out of you on the back of the same shares or different company?
I think they have tried that already, didnt a few guys get calls from a boiler room recently offering to buy their shares?
[/QUOTE] EXCEPT 99% of us invested when it was a fledgling company and wasn’t listed, OK that could well be even bigger alarm bells I know. [/QUOTE] I would be more worried about that than if it had already been trading
[/QUOTE] This is when we are informed by SOM that the €1 million embezzlement has taken place? [/QUOTE]
Any proof that it took place or just their word for it?
[/QUOTE] I was not asked at this point to buy any of the shares and nor does it seem was anyone else?[/QUOTE] No you'd already been caught, money gone.
[/QUOTE]Then the 30th June 2010 de-restriction came along and the remaining CIT shares were dumped causing the crash in price. [/QUOTE] Again you dont know why it crashed, this is just what they told you.
[/QUOTE]So, unless when we get there they start pumping us for more money which answers any doubts, is this something scammers would actually bother to do? As I have previously said this is all getting very elaborate to be an on-going scam by SOM. [/QUOTE] Maybe elaborate but remember they are already pumping you for more money by offering to buy your shares, they will ask for a fee up front, then steal it and disappear. The more desperate you get the more likely you are to fall for it. What happens when it gets to 2 or 3 days before they are due to be liquidated and someone offers you a way out? They are expecting you to fall for it.
[/QUOTE]I’m not wearing my rose tinted glasses any more, but until proven otherwise I currently have 100% faith in SOM. [/QUOTE] 100% faith in anything remotely related to investments or trading is the road to the poorhouse, start questioning everything you're told and stop believing just the things you want to believe.
