Sorry for reviving this zombie thread

Any more news or thoughts on FPRS?

I've had a 'review' with these characters which seemed more like a sales pitch - I was a little suspicious about them from the off but the review really smelled bad.

Now I've done a little research and I'm convinced that they are scammers at best. Right conclusion?

If you read this thread, why would you even entertain this outfit?

How did you come to have the review? did they cold call?

How anyone could read this thread and then contemplate going with such people is beyond me?

It was a cold call last year and sounded plausible, but then I began thinking (lots of excuses as to why I didn't tell them to eff off at the time like I normally do).

No damage done and some information obtained so not all a waste of time - I only bothered to do the research after the woman gave her initial sales pitch on Tuesday. I follow the rule that if something looks too good to true the it probably is.

Anyway Atush, thank you for the condescending reply - I assume that you are a finance person and therefore take an interest in these matters. If we ever cross paths and you need expert advice in my field, please expect similar friendly advice

No I am an ex scientist now currently at leisure.

I was not condescending, I was incredulous.

Cold call= scammer.

So why didn't you read the thread and therefore know your answer? Or does your field not required reading ?

The scammers have to be reasonably plausible and you have to be reasonably gullible.

You may wish to report your findings to the FCA. They are building a dosier on that company. I cant say much more than that but the FCA are aware of them and asking for evidence.

Thanks, I'll get in touch with the FCA To be fair I was on a lot of drugs when they called, so wasn't thinking straight - they've just popped out of the woodwork again and this time I'm morphine free.

atush

So you called me out when you were perhaps still on drugs? Or didnt' read the thread properly because you were out of it?

Do state pertinent facts before you post.

Glad to hear you are feeling better now.
