Bordeaux Fine Wines

I have had a call from this company tonight, they are sending me some literature in the post & calling back on Thursday night, I was told that I could expect 14% return....so what do you think, anyone know anything about this company? Thanks in anticipation!

    Sounds too good to be true and you know what they say if something sounds too good....

    Do a google search, not really a good investment as far as I can see.

    Do you really think any company with 14% growth prospects needs to call people up on a Monday evening? Think about it!!

    Just say no.

    This has all the hallmarks of a scam - cold calling, returns too good to be true. And fine wine has a history of such scams, with companies going bust having not actually bought your wine for you and those who have bought the wine vastly overcharging you for it

    Have a read of

    try googling

    bordeaux wine investment bbc

    and see what you come up with............
  • If they've offered you a particular wine have a look for it on wine-searcher.com and see how much they've inflated their prices.....

    If you're interested in investing in wine, Decanter magazine has an investment section every month. But most importantly do your research before giving cold callers any of your cash.

    Rearrange into a sentence to see what you should do. Cold callers selling investments are always scams, genuine investment companies do not need to cold call.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
