    Boiler Room Scams

    Hi all, one other note for anyone "holding" shares with Norton Scientific as I do. I did a whois search on their website (this is the one positive on all this, 3 weeks ago I didn't know what a whois search was, or how to track an IP address etc etc,I am quickly becoming an expert), anyway, it...

    Boiler Room Scams

    Hi jblonde, I share your frustration. Since finding out I was ripped off by Fisher Capital management 3 weeks ago, I have spent hours doing reports, sending Mareva letters etc, with no real response from anyone. FSA told me its hard for them to do anything because these guys move around a lot...

    Whoops, take that back. I used their address and phone number from their website and used a reverse directory and....neither can be found. Very flashy website, hard to beleive they may not exist. I'm not done yet...

    Boiler Room Scams

    Yes, as I mentioned in my last post, it was only FCM banking details that were supplied (or asked for). And, as I also mentioned, we did correspond via private e-mail and traded a bit of info but thats it. I think we are all wary after being scammed but basher hasn't given me any reason to...

    Boiler Room Scams

    one other question I have. All my research so far tells me that Norton Scientific is a legitimate company, which would be a change from the usual fictious companies that are being used such as amazon. Does anyone have any info on Norton, if they are legite I will be getting in touch with them.

    Boiler Room Scams

    Thanks for the concern, I only sent him details of the Fisher accounts I sent money to, not my own details. After being scammed once I'm a lot more careful. Basher sent me some advice on how to try and retrieve my money,and how to attempt to freeze the Fisher accounts, thats about it. If you do...

    Boiler Room Scams

    Hi BB, I have tried to send a private message but it just shows an error that my answer to the random question is wrong. I've tried three times with three different random questions, but no luck. Can you try and send me a private message with an e-mail address and I will reply on my private e-mail.

    Boiler Room Scams

    Thanks, I would love to send you the bank info and anything else that will help. I'm new on this so not sure where to send this info? Also, for anyone else who is interested, this wasn't just one cold call (although it started that way)where I blindly sent money. It was months of calls, even...
