    Hi there


    I am reading previous posts. What can often be challenging however (understandably) is finding someone who is happy to appear on television. Asking people to come forward who are already happy in principle with that idea of dealing with media is half the battle!


    thank you

    So the lazy journalism route. GTK

    Have you first tried talking to the people that run the towers in Canary Wharf? That's where we've all been scammed, and routinely have our funds turned over and fingered daily. I have a feeling that what you wish to highlight is chicken feed to what we've each lost there - but your editor isn't interested in the real story I guess - too off-message for the establishment media ?
  • No - the efficient journalism route. No need to get insulting!

    Not insulting, just observing.

    And I would think a few PMs to previous scam victims who aren't reading this would pay handsome dividends. but far be it from me to lower your efficiency? After all, once you lose your entire pension you might no longer be reading this forum (but instead are reading the debt free and budgeting forums?).

    In general, most scam victims seem to love an audience for their grievance.
