I lost my hair and grew a beard.

Hi all why was my thread deleted?

[Fermit and Sexy Sarah]

Neck beard probably complained (again, IIRC)

Another one will likely be along soon.

Seems a shame as everything is very clearly open and in the public domain

Well I'm devastated if the thread upset one of the fraudsters who were on it, and shone a light on their grubby activities. Heaven forfend, we must protect the feelings of the poor darlings.

Indeed and it was a right laugh we kept our heads above the water.

Why can this not become the replacement thread? Get posting the youtube £million a second clips!

Seems all are not happy with this chap

I don't recall his name from the old thread.

'I’ll be talking to FCA...' more likely he will be talking to SFO, or rather SFO will be talking to him.

He did pop up in the last days of the old thread

Perhaps some foolish victims were lured into the scam by this article:

It really is quite disgusting that the advertorials in these trash papers are being used to fuel these scams. Zero due diligence on the part of the newspapers (loads of regional ones have run similar scams).

I'd make them partially liable for the losses. Sure the victims are all stupid, greedy, naive, desperate, or all 4. But its vile that the newspapers themselves are running promotions for these scammers. They should certainly know better.

Enough, already! This isn't the place to try and resurrect the discussion.
