"Something safer than the sharemarket"
Sad tale of a hardworking now retired female firefighter who fell for the scammers and lost retirement savings.
A timely story with the bear market driving people away from shares to a fixed return. Her goal was to make an investment in "something safer than the sharemarket" which turned out to be anything but.
I personally only deal with well known and on-shore operators but even then I feel I could still be duped. The scammers seem to have covered all their bases with local phone numbers and a perceived structure etc. Not all scams are amateurish type emails.
Stay safe people.
