Yes chances are they did sell you the shares in the first place which is how they know about you?
You see the 'company' that sold you the shares wasn't a company in the first place, everything was made up, perhaps they called themselves Golderberg Lynch Capital Inc. Now a different 'company' called you perhaps they call themselves 'Park Avenue Invesment Ltd', again all made up.
Als, chances are that 'John Winston' the person you spoke to a few years back is speaking to you again but this time he's called 'Michael Summers', both names are fake.
And as for the Apple shares they're thinking 'hold on this fella is most probably worried about these small companies so we'll try and hook him with a big brand name like Apple, Nokia or Sony'.
As I said to you before (AND ANYONE ELSE READING THIS) these thieves tell you what you want to hear and belive in order to steal your hard earned money.
BE WARNED - ONLY EVER DEAL WITH BROKERS THAT ARE LOCATED IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY AND ARE REGULATED BY YOUR COUNTRY'S FINANCIAL REGULATOR.
And that means you MUST check them out fully by a) calling your fnancial regulator to check them out (they all have departments where this can be done) as well as, and this is VERY VERY IMPORTANT calling them on the switchboard number that is on file at the financial regulato AND NOT THE NUMBER THE 'BROKER' ON THE PHONE GAVE YOU. You see chances are that some of these scammers say they're working for a regulated firm aren't.
Follow those simple steps and it's hard to get scammed. But the best and simplest advice is to NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH ANY FINANCIAL FIRM THAT COLD CALLS YOU.
Be careful everyone because these scammers and thieves are very good.
If in ANY doubt you MUST hit boards like this where myself and other posters will help you.
PS. The final warning to stop people getting scammed is if you have to wire money to a foreign country especially in the Far East, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand or the Carribean then 99% chance you'll never see it again.
