Subject: Wine as an Investment (Scam)
After a cold call, I have been pestered by a certain company based in
the City of London who seem to think that (a) I'm a mug and (b) I'm
stupid enough to believe their hype.

From the background chatter, it is clearly a Boiler Room operation.

They told me that they had been in the business for 'about 100 years'
but a check at Companies House shows they were only incorporated on
15/8/2005.

I also obtained their Accounts which even contain a mistake!

After Googling the Company Name, I discovered:

http://investdrinks.org/

Which exposes this type of scam but, apparently, it is totally
unregulated and apparently unstoppable.

So is there nothing that can be done?

Maybe we could invite Quezi to investigate?

And ask Myoarin to carry a placard outside their offices?

Worried of Hove
