Botties, you're being setup to have an advance fee fraud worked on you.

Big payday, hedge fund coming in to buy up all the shares etc. That's the carrot to make you think a big pay day is coming your way. However, first you'll be asked to pay a sum of money for fees or for legal work (or some such bull). Pay that money and IT WILL BE STOLEN from you.

Everything you're being told is a lie. The shares you first bought are worthless, and they will always be worthless. Sadly you were setup the first time you bought the shares which is why the scammers are coming back for more.

Please understand what's happening and make sure you NEVER accept an easy money offer again from a cold calling stranger........

Hi Anley, Thanks, I have come to realize that I have lost that money after I read the post regarding the brokers and the proposed IPO company. Sadly though, as the profit at first was understandable and expectable but like they say, A fool is born every minute. I just wish I could at least get the input money back, but that is wishing for a miracle.

To you and everyone.

I am nearly 80. I wish I could convince all the youngsters that they do not have to convince me of how convincing these people are.

I'm afraid that I can't, all of them. But I can advise those who read this. Do what you tell your kids to do. Don't talk to strangers.

In addition to calling me, some have the nerve to put musak on the line and expect me to wait!.

They have the cheek of the devil. If you don't know them, hang up, don't even say hallo.

Botties, we all make mistakes, the key is to learn from them. As I said beware of EVERYONE that calls you up from now on, 99.9% of them will be scammers, however charming and knowledgable they may seem.

Summary: It's OK to get scammed once, but it's a crime to be scammed twice.

Hi Botties
I was contacted by them in April. They mentioned that the date of payout from the hedgefund would be in July. I then started some research on them. i.e checked out the address for both Infinity and Trieye on Google Maps. Did not look convincing, I next used Alexa to check out the domine registration, Infinity is set to expire in 2013. I can't believe they using the same scam.
Were you contact by a James Kennedy?
Please stay away from them. If you did invest with them, take it as a learning curve and post in as many forum as possible to stop them. These guys are the scum of the earth, show no mercy.
Best of luck and keep me posted on what happens.
I should point out that I made a small invest with them and got a 20% return in two months. This is the bait.

I have been contacted by these sorts many times, I usually let them talk for a minute, then I offer them an investment if they give me their wife/girlfriend for a weekend. Once I start asking what their sexual preferences are they put the phone down.

You'd think it would be getting more and more difficult for scammers like this to exist because of the internet and the ability to discover who the scammers are or find out about others who were scammed by them. Trading isn't religion - individuals need to be more skeptical, with all due respect. If you trade or do any other work, you know it's hard work to be successful and no overnight miracle product will make it easier.
