    Professional, ethical and decent regulated investment companies do not cold call. Most scams come from cold calling. General rule of thumb is to never employ a cold calling company as you will avoid being scammed that way. This doesnt mean it is a scam. it just means you avoid a common method that scams use.

    It may well be a good idea to review your plans but use a local company of your choice instead.
