Victim of a Boiler Room Scam - ADVICE PLEASE!

brauni_bolter

Hi Eliotgit,
Thank you for responding to my post.
You are right, they are not their real names lewis mortimer is now called lewis fairchild. The other names are the same.

Have you been one of their victims?
I am going through every single conversation over and over in my head and it all makes sense now. I am ashamed to have been fooled by these disgusting human beings, what is worse is that I have involved my family as well…they told me not to send any money and I never listed to them. I am in a terrible state of mind at the moment.

I have invested over 60.000 euros in Indian Ocean Oil shares. All my savings 2 bank loans and borrowed money from family.

Reading this is both tragic and staggering. Even if it had been legitimate investing money in shares with borrowed money is foolish, to put it very mildly.

Be aware having fallen for it you will now be on their "suckers list" so expect more cold calls. Usually the next one will be somebody offering to buy or swap your worthless shares. After a while it will turn out they need an advance fee of some kind. If you are foolish enough to pay it there will be another fee and so on. They will prey on your desperation to get some of your money back but you will only lose more.

Write off the money, confess to those you have borrowed money from, and never make another investment with a firm that is not registered with the FSA.

I would also report it to the authorities, and change you phone number asap.

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?

It's quite easy to understand his/her post if you want to.

English is clearly not their first language, but at least they are adding something relevant to the thread and trying to help others who might not be aware of the scammers involved due to the OP editing their original post.

Well I had trouble reading it, and English is my first language although I speak 2. And i posted tht yonks ago, not with this latest what not about trolling etc.

I am not expecting any sympathy from anybody. All started because I had some savings and I thought I could make a bit more money than if I leave it in the bank.

Then I got to the point where all I wanted was to get my money back and as Reaper says they fed on my desperation…and they did it very well.

Did I think something like this could happen to me…no I did not, and all I hope it does not happen to anyone else.
