"LET THE BUYER BEWARE"

Hello Ian

Could I ask if this is to help members who are looking for finance, not to be to quick in passing over their idea's and business plans?
I am curious to know.
cheers

Let's just say that there seem to be a few people posting on here that I wouldn't touch with a bargepole but it's the job of the forum moderators to ensure that the forum's rules are kept and not to vet posters for integrity.

I certainly would never disclose interesting ideas and business plans to a supposed financier who used a Yahoo or Hotmail email address for example

Hello Ian
Thanks for the reply but got me even more curious as I have had yahoo and MSN emails for years, Is there something about them that can be hacked or untraceable. To be honest I have never thought of msn or yahoo like that. I thought gmail looked dodgy but always thought mine were safe and the norm? Is there a safe email provider?
cheers

It has nothing to do with email security but who would you prefer to discuss the possible financing of your project with jsmith@barclaysbank.co.uk or billy_the_scammer@hotmail.com

Thanks for that, I get the point. It highlights to me that a lot of eager new business hopefuls should ask questions about who they might be trying to borrow from, before they pass over their Business plans. A very good post

Good advice as I just found a scam on Gumtree where a company with a gmail is asking potential applicants to send copies of their CV and driving License. I can see how easy someone can give their identity away without thinking.
