I cannot believe anyone falls for cold calls, once in a lifetime opportunities etc, etc

Doesn't anyone use common sense anymore, or read the press?

Well I guess not, but it still amazes me!

Amazing isn't it, you'd think they would listen to the experts wouldn't you? Wouldn't you?

"We are the experts sir. This is why we can offer such good investment gains".

Last time I got a call like this I asked the sales person if they were interested in getting 10% tax exempt from a legitimate UK investment. Next time I may mention investing in care homes. Same thing, a VCT. If they don't bite on that maybe they will go for student accommodation in Cardiff at 12% taxable. A P2P property development loan.

"We're well acquainted with P2P websites sir... no, we never loan money on them..."
