JenAnn said:She is a Taiwanese citizen & lives in Taiwan, my son has visited her there & met all of her family. He is due to visit her next month & she is due to stay here for a few months in the summer which is why it is so hard to believe that she would scam me. She says she has £30.000 [sterling equivalent] invested with the bank. Strange but I do not trust her now - is it the long game??
Thanks again to all, my money will be staying in the UK.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.5 -
JenAnn said:The woman is real & has stayed with us for months at a time [never paying her way]. She is 58 yrs old with her own business teaching yoga & dance. It's difficult to believe she would scam me.
Bear in mind that she is already committing a criminal offence by giving you financial advice, even if this investment was real (it isn't). (Unless she has FCA registration as an adviser to go with her yoga certificate and Zumba black belt.) Is that implausible that a known criminal would try to scam you?3
