HWS Precision stock market analysis software

Hi there
I wondered if anyone else on here had received anything from a company called HWS, or indeed knows anything about them. I've tried a search on here but nothing has come up, so apologies if I've missed this somewhere else.
I have received a mail out regarding some stock market analysis software called Precision which I would normally throw straight in the bin, but my idle curiosity has got the better of me in this instance !!

Thanks and regards for any feedback or information.

    Googling HWS Precision gives two relevant results. One is a fake forum thread full of fake positive comments about the software. If you click on the link to the wider "forum", you will find that all the threads not relating to HWS Precision have been stolen from forums.moneysavingexpert.com.

    If you click on the fake members posting positive comments about HWS Precision, you'll see that although they supposedly have a postcount in the hundreds, if you search for their posts using Google or the site's own search function, only one appears - the HWS Precision thread.

    The second result is blocked by my browser, and is probably the same thing. The other results all relate to boilers.

    Of course, you don't really need to know this, as it is enough to know that if something is too good to be true it probably is.

    How did you come across HWS Precision?

    He says he received mail in the initial post.
  • Got a mail out in the post this morning.

    As you say "if it looks too good to be true........", and normally would go straight in the executive filing cabinet, but something about this one intrigued me. Very fancy glossy brochure, lots of stuff about "make profits like the professionals, manage your risk, etc....", without actually telling you anything about how !!!
    I tried Googling some stuff but very little came up, which is caution enough....if it was that good surely they'd be shouting about to a lot louder ? !!!
    Now executively filed.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Nice find. I'll drop a note to MSE as they may like to get the forum taken down.

    On the contrary - if it was that good, they'd be keeping really quiet about it.

    The cynic in me says that my post is more likely to disappear than the fake forum.
  • I have recently signed up to HWS Market Precision System! (Maybe stupidly) for some reason I had a very weak moment.
    The pack turned up the next day as promised, but I am still very dubious about this company, can anyone give me any information about HWS Market Precision System?
