Got a leaflet shoved through the door promoting a "free seminar" at a local hotel. Basically it boils down to a load of "how to" avoid probate, inheritance tax, claims on your estate, care fees.... and claims "making a will is not enough".

There are two web addresses - www.howtokeepitinthefamily.co.uk (where a Norfolk address is shown) and www.universalseminars.co.uk.

and a reaction to the programme from ifaonline.co.uk

    Bit overzealous? The OP is from 18months ago and is actually warning against the seminars.

    Certainly not spam.

    No - the post I was referring to has now been deleted - it was a blatant advertisement for some 'wealth advisory' company

    Fair do's.

    They should do a forum redesign required then or just delete the content, as it takes the thread out of context.

    Or simply click the spam button but don't actually post "SPAM reported".
    It's someone else's fault.

    I mention the members name. Previous post by "XYZ" is SPAM.
