Mail drop

Hi everyone,
Pretty new to the site, this being my first post. I've tried a search, in an attempt to see if this has been covered but the page would not open so here goes.
I've recieved a mail drop from a company by the name of Sigma with full address in York and Tel. No. who offer a horse racing betting service on your behalf. The claim is that for every £100 stake money you send (minimum £200) they will place bets for you and they expect to win £390 for the £100, £780 for £200 and so on.
This they claim, is based on past results, and they keep 5% of your winnings for managing your account. Apparrently they have been performing this service for the past ten years. They supply you with a normal rate telephone number so you can keep check on the bet of the day for interest sake, or they say, if you want to have a side bet.
At the bottom of the letter is what seems to be the full address of their registered office and company name:-
Ventura Racing Ltd-Co. No.450 6602 bla bla bla Manchester M4 8BB.
How's it sound. Has anyone else experienced this offer.
Cheers,
Hamer.
Snootchie Bootchies!

  • Sounds dodgy.
    I wouldn't go for anything where you send money, especially if they have an odd address!


    I wouldn't touch it and save your money for the local bookies...

    better still save it up for something nice ;D
    Watch out people. You don't know what lurks around the corner for you![/SIZE]
  • Forgot to add....

    Even if it is genuine, there'd be some sort of disclaimer where they can't guarantee you winnings. You have to ask yourself, they're making money out of it so how can they afford to give you back 3 times what you put in?!

  • Hi Hamer, I am trying to find out more aobut this company and other similar connected companies. Would you be able to post more details on this site - particularly the address of Sigma in York.
    Have you paid any money to this company?

    A check for the postcode M4 8BB on the Royal Mail postcode checker website produces:
    The address or postcode you have entered is not listed in our database.
    Searches for 'Ventura Racing, Manchester' or 'Ventura*, Manchester on that website AND on the BT Directory Enquiry website produce the same result.

    Searches for 'Sigma*, York' on the postcode and 118500 website also produce the same result.

  • If I'd got a system which gave a return of nearly 400% I sure would't want to share it with anyone else. I'd make a ginormouse killing and retire to somewhere warm. :D
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
