The FSA is to write to over 76,000 people after the next six weeks after finding their names on a targeting list used by scammers.

The letter warns members of the public how to spot a scam and common types of investment scam. More info here:

Sorry, don't hang out on this board much, but couldn't find Operation Bexley when I did a search and thought it might be useful for someone.

    I had the letter. I must be one of the 76,732 people.

    I would have been terrified if I hadn't read about the FSA's plans before I got the letter.

    Any other suckers reading this?
