Stratton Wainwright Advisory

Anyone had any experience with these guys? Jeremy Fox phoned me to offer these shares at £5 each in Bio Defense Corporation, an American company. They company are going public on NYSE & AIM but is the offer from Stratton genuine? Normally a phone call is a scam, & I have no intention of buying, But I like to stir it if I can.
Any information?

I bought some myself and I thinks it is a great company. I have had no problems at all. Thats my experiance!

Just came back here to have a look.
You say you bought through Stratton? How long have you traded with them? The question I would ask you is have you ever received any cash back into your hand, not into your account with the broker, actually into your hand? Or have they traded your stock and reinvested in other stock and asked you for a fee or to increase your investment?
I would be delighted to be proved wrong and actually find an honest broker, but my experience with cold callers is that there are none!

Mediterranean Gold

Had call from Ed Davis of Armstrong Knight offering me bonds for Med Gold WWW.wtselite.com. Claims they are going public in next 2 years. now an IPO, but offered on Bond which will pay dividends of between 9 & 22% twice yearly! Unfortunately the bond is £50000. I have been checking out Med Gold & have serious doubts. Info on their web site cannot be verified elsewhere. Had a call today offering part bond @£12500. could be genuine but I would like some confirmation. Anybody know anything?

Armstrong Wright

Had a call from James King today. Says he was handed my number by a colleague and thought he would update me. Claims to have made good money for their clients on Med-gold but hard to confirm as I cannot find a price quote anywhere.
Now offering to get me in to carbon offset trading on the Chigago exchange. I know about carbon offsetting but this is a commodities exchange and I have no interest in that.
Also as to Armstrong King, their web site is registered in Malayasia Jan 09 to Jan 11. That's about right for a pump and dump cycle I believe! I know that the internet makes communications easy but I still wonder why a company supposedly based in London and Geneva would go to Malayasia for a web site?
Anyone else been approched?
