Just had a call from Chadwell Management - wanting me to invest in Geron Corp at $3.50 aiming to make $6.50 in 90 days.
The whole thing read like a script from the film!!
I'll wait 90 days now...
My reply would be, "If it's so good, why haven't you taken out a loan from your bank for £100k then in 90 days you can tell your boss where to shove his job".The whole thing read like a script from the film!!

Plus 'Chadwell Management' doesn't appear on Google. Which is quite an achievement really!
That's what I thought, I was expecting a few hits - even forum ones like this.I imagine they shut down before cached. I posted this up hoping it would appear and warn off potential victims.
I still can't understand how wealthy (and thus, hopefully, reasonably savvy) people fall for these things. Argument for better financial education at school maybe?
Ultimately though, while the common confidence trickster's mantra of it being impossible to con an honest man is false, those who do get caught up in these things are quite genuinely being rather greedy...

i had one.. the guy was trying to get me to buy £10k of Apple shares saying they were going to rocket.
no i thought apple was a pretty stable company.. not really one for peaks and troughs ?
I would think if you had put money into apple before the ipod/iphone you would have made substantial returns by now no i thought apple was a pretty stable company.. not really one for peaks and troughs ?
