You'd think people would wake up but they really don't. We've had various clients ask us on a number of occasions "What do you think of this opportunity?" and link us to a website for us to check out.

Only for me to research it and find out its some kind of Sports/Racing Trading 'opportunity' to invest and make money rapidly which just smells of being dodgy instantly.

One guy even got himself and his parents burnt once for around $5,000 each and he still asks questions about things he finds on the internet. It's just human nature I think and those who aren't well versed in financial skepticism and think its easy to pay someone else to make you a quick buck are extremely vulnerable.

It's also got a lot to do with the complete lack of understanding that people have towards all forms of finance (tax, superannuation, savings etc etc) which is essentially why I have a job. It's amazing how often people will opt to pay something with their super and say 'well its not really my money anyway, its from the government' when this is entirely false. Superannuation money is whats been earnt by that individual and IS their own, its just they can't access it until later in life.

Anyway that is kind of off track but i'm never surprised to see these ********** at work. Some people just can't help but look for a quick fix or easy path to being a millionaire and in the end it can cost them dearly.
