My personal belief is
good deal will never come knocking at your door,
those that come knocking at your door will never be good deal.

Investors were promised a monthly payout of between five and nine per cent on investment but in September last year, team leaders from the firm could not be reached.
SINGAPORE: About 150 people have lodged a police report, after a company they had invested in became uncontactable.
The investors, who comprised both local and Chinese nationals, had invested a total of S$50 million. Individual investments ranged from S$40,000 to S$8 million.
Under the so-called “Sure Win 4 U” scheme set up by a Malaysian company, the money received would go towards funding professional gamblers.
Alleged victims were lured by returns of as much as three times their investment at the end of two years. The scheme promised a monthly payout of between five and nine per cent on investment. The money earned would be in the form of online credits, which could only be converted into cash by the company's team leaders.
Alarm bells started ringing in September last year, when investors were unable to contact team leaders from the firm. The company's Kuala Lumpur office was abandoned when an investor visited in October.
Police confirmed they have received a report, adding that it was inappropriate to comment at this time.
Madam Lao, who invested S$200,000 in the scheme, said: "I was thinking we are going to retire, and this seemed like a good platform because memberships numbered over 100,000 from all over the world. And this is the first time we have invested in such things. I did not know this was actually a scam case."

When it is too good to be true, it is never true.
They are fooled and brainwashed by the lucrative returns, using emotions to take charge of their minds

101% correct. i always remind my family no stranger is going to talk to you to tell you he is going to put something aka $ in your pocket. Whenever stranger call me or my family, i usually go straight to the point. What do you want from me? Usually stranger caller will just cut of the phone. But very persistent one, I have to tell them to their "face" that there is no free lunch.
Having says this, watch out doubly when caller is friend or kin. Because you may feel obligated. i am only saying if your friend or kin is already fallen into the "trap" if you think so, then just say it as kindly.
My sympathy to all those "pure and simple souls" who will believe anything even from strangers snake oil saleman. And it's a fact, we are all made differently
Shalom.

Anyone Here Heard Of Surewin Investment?
This
Alternative Investment is
unique in the way that funds received are to fund professional gamblers. Why people can believe in this type of investment? I cannot understand.
The only surewin way is that you inherit fortune from your parents or grand-parents.
