    Bayer Investments - a boiler room?

    Dear All, Sorry I've been quiet - I only have internet access at work and have been rather busy. We have to be careful with what info we post on the forum - anyone can google bayer, including themselves and find our correspondence. I have completed online complaints against Bayer with...

    Bayer Investments - a boiler room?

    Apologies - I'm rather busy. Dad has not done as I asked - doesn't see the point. I did printout this thread and gave it to him on Sunday. Perhaps your latest message will encourage him. He has seen an IFA. Problem is he has bought shares not just from Bayer but from one or two other...

    Bayer Investments - a boiler room?

    Sorry to hear about your friend's father. My Dad has not been to the bank yet - so no news there. I think getting your friend to go to the Bank is the best way forward. They can advise him for free about the worth of the certificates. Restricted or Reg S shares do not become 'normal' as far...

    Bayer Investments - a boiler room?

    Has anyone had any dealings with Bayer Investments based in Luxembourg? (Not to be confused with Bayern Invest - a bona fide company). Bayer have sold restricted shares to my elderly father. It sounds as though they cold-called him originally back in 2006.
