    I saw similar article over on thisismoney.co.uk about this raid:

    BUSTED: Police raid City office after we warn on the menace of investment scams for worthless carbon credits
    Did you invest with Hudson Forbes or CT Carbon?

    Police would like to hear from you.
    Call Detective Constable Paul Graham on 020 7601 6825.

    I wonder if any of these crooks sniffed around here trying to defend their activities?
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.
