lender offering 50%??

You would think that Silverstone Master Issuer would have had the profile removed?

Given it's the first google result for them?

The first and second Google results for Silverstone Master Issuer are the Nationwide page. The third is their LSE listing. Then there are various Companies House clones and Bloomberg type pages. The obviously fake LinkedIn profile does not even appear on the first page, much less the first result.

Are you feeling OK?

It must be so easy to be a scammer nowadays....people seem to tripover themselves to hand over their cash based on nothing but a glitzy webpage.

Very true, but I would have thought the real people behind SMI, would have spotted the webpage, seems to have been there since at least October?

You don't think it's for real then?

So some scammer could have hacked the profile?

Did seem a bit too good to be true which is why I asked.

Anyone who asks the question is too naive/greedy/dumb to be allowed control over their own money.

There are some threads here that serve a useful purpose because while very tedious and repetitive for those of us with a modicum of common sense, they might help people who come across them later via forum searches or Google searches, avoid making expensive mistakes.

However, people who repeatedly pop up to troll about blatantly ridiculous investment "opportunities" they have seen should be kicked out, in the same way we would seek to kick out a spammer who came to offer is the opportunity direct.

As Sam suggests: either they are too naive/greedy/dumb to notice it's a clear scam and they are the type of person who helps the scammer exist - in which case the gene pool would be better without them ; or they are a troll wasting our time in which case the gene pool would be better of without them; or they are actually the original scammer themselves, promoting the investment by asking sweetly and innocently if the investment is a good idea. In which case the gene pool would be better off without them.

I think the moderator /self-moderator powers on this board should be enhanced from merely being able to mark for deletion as spam, to being able to mark the poster for enforced involuntary euthanasia. May take a while to convince those in government, but we would be doing society a favour.

Now, who got out of bed on the wrong side this morning?
However, a scammer with thousands of posts on here is strange.

Quite, I was thinking how easily some people can get wound up by a poster with a dry sense of humour. But that's without trawling through posting history to validate the OPs character.

Anyway, rightly or wrongly, I found it quite funny...
