Stock trading software scam
Discussion
A new scam just surfaced. DCL Close Market Systems are cold calling (in this case my father in law). to sell him £10k in software that makes 800% returns per annum. They sent him a crappy but colour brochure showing verified(yeah right) stocks chosen by their amazing software which generate 800% p.a. Of course it's a scam. No experience needed just let their proven software choose your trades. quotes like 'thanks to DCL i retired after just two years'.

look 'mate'- these brass neck assholes are phoning older folks who don't understand.
That's offensive to 'older folks', I'm pretty sure you don't turn into an idiot with age. Anyone who would fall for such an obvious scam probably deserves it..Oh you cynics - haven't you seen this glowing testimonial - from he of "the esteemed insights of best-selling author, popular journalist and small business guru, Steven Van Yoder". Sounds great - and he might be related to the Grand Master of the Jedi, so wise beyond our ken.

Seriously though, there are huge numbers of parasites trying to squeeze money out of gullible people, often elderly - without us knowing, my father in law has just bought a vastly expensive hearing aid, promoted by a charity for the elderly, which he took as being an acceptable deal since the charity allowed it to advertise in their literature.
When my own father was losing his memory a very well known charity for the elderly had no problem with sending and accepting further direct debit contributions, despite the fact that they already had several running from him. We only discovered this when my mother had to exert her power of attorney and saw the SOs on his bank statements. We just cancelled them and didn't raise it with the charity as of course they'd claim that he probably wanted to have multiple donations to the same charity each month, rather than that they (of all people) were taking advantage of someone who thought that they'd not remembered to make a donation and so filled out another form.

On the contrary, charities are very PR-sensitive and I'm sure would roll over and refund the money if asked to do so. Too late now I suppose? I'd have been in there like a rat up a drainpipe.Simpo Two said:

Yes, perhaps I am being uncharitable (!). We didn't pursue it as he clearly had wanted to support the charities he subscribed to, (though, I'm sure, not multiple times each month), the amounts were not important in the larger scheme of things and there were more pressing concerns at the time.
