  • If you're gullible enough to go to this I have a box of fresh air I was going to sell on e-bay but I'll give you it a double my intended asking price or you can bid higher than this once I post it :)

    Call the Hotel and ask them about the 'function'...
    Also call into your local polie station with the leaflet and ask for their opnion if this 'event' is legit...

    Sometimes, these things are. But very, very rarely...

    The ONLY reason this is being held in the Hilton is to add an air of credibility to it.

    Have you seen the Croydon Hilton? :eek:
    It's on a newish out-of-town development on the Purley Way (home mainly to warehouses and industrial complexes) - nothing classy about it at all :o .

    Nothing classy about a lot of Hiltons these days but the name still rings the tune of luxury and trustworthyness to many.

    The venues should be ashamed of letting these type of rip off merchants use their premises. If they were made liable for this type of fraud on their premises I bet they would be a lot more choosy about who they hire to.

    These venues don't seem to care who they rent their rooms out to as long as get their rental. A couple of years ago the BBC Three Counties Radio programme ran several features about the "Women Empowering Women" pyramid scheme where people were parting with £3000 with the "promise" that this would turn into £24,000. The meetings were being held at the Milton Keynes Hockey Club. The radio station told the club about the crooks using their rooms but they weren't interested. In the end they refused to talk to the radio station and were content to let the crooks operate on their premises and con money out of people.

    Or it could be a police auction?

    If it was the police would put a notice in your local paper, they don't usually leaflet drop, they have better things to do.
