Well put mr_fishbulb.

I have found many of bendix's posts informative and helpful in the past, but for someone with a serious amount of posts I do think on this occasion being a tad more helpful would prove more fruitful.

I'm sure there are many others like the OP that have been scammed but don't admit it, so fair play to the OP for posting this thread. By doing so the OP is not going to get any of their lost money back, but bringing it to others attention is good even if it stops one other person getting duped by these vermin that prey on vulnerable people.

I cant remember who posted it on another thread on this board but I did like their way of thinking, if you get contacted by these vermin:

[SIZE=+0]It's much more fun to wind them up a bit before asking if it's hot in the boiler room.[/SIZE]

I know some say just put the phone down on them, but I like to think if you can spare the time then waste their time, because by doing so you are stopping them directing their scams at the more vulnerable people out there.

Gosh, what a response! I've only just checked back.

Thank you all for your helpful responses. Although it is a horrible situation to be in, I do appreciate that it could have been avoided and understand why some people may not have any sympathy for this!!! We will definitely be sure to change our numbers and I have made my other half promise never to give money away to cold callers. He is completely mortified as he is so financially savvy in other parts of his life, has never been in debt and is generally a model spender. It's me who struggles normally. I suppose naivety/greed can get the better of even the best of us, sometimes!

Thank you all, once again!

It is strange that the first message in this chain is empty so let me explain:
This chain begin with seeking for advice and help about company name First Allied Capital based in Osaka Japan which is 100 % boiler room scam company.
They call out of the blue to clients over the internet and sell them shares of Indian Ocean Oil and Royal Gold Group which is not exist,
promise them a that edge fund bought the share four times then purchase price and then they come with other excuses that the sale did not go through, and the clients stay with worthless shares
Another boiler room scam company is Winfield Capital Group based in Yokohama Japan, they operate the same way as First Allied Capital company.
Please be very careful

Please try again, using a translator to get your message across in english if you want it to be understood by those who might be tempted.


Non experienced investors may not know what edge funds are ( I presume you mean hedge funds) And "which is not exist" and other misnomers. I know where you ae coming from, and believe in your cause but am not sure how many you will help if they don't understand.

I will never know why anyone would invest anything with someone who calls on the telephone (in any language- I speak 2). We get bolier room people call from time to time and I always send them packing?

What!? The OP has, politely and dispassionately given us a frank account of her misfortune - without trying to downplay her partner's gullibility, nor to seek outpourings of sympathy.

I cannot even imagine what would motivate somebody to react as you have - your comments are irrelevant, pointless and nasty.

So what's new??
