ryanf90 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have recieved a very weird letter which i think is a con, i dont even know the guy, or how he got my address, it reads as follows: Dear Mr Foster Just allow me to explain why I am writing to you: I run my own high profit investment team and 95% of my profits now come from pre-arranged touches on horse racing, or sports events. that i have the outcome in advance. This does not happen every day, so when it does we make the most of it. As i have not brought anyone in from the general public before, the way i have organized it is to select 30 people at random from a gamblers' list to sample the biggest touch i have put together in well over a year. I am prepared to let you take a huge return on your money for yourself with no gain to me at all (no money placed on my behalf - completely free of charge to you!) so you can see what my investments return. I am not a boastful person but feel that i am without a doubt the only person available to you in this country with the financial muscle necessary to put together these touches, which can make the next few years of your life a success. Your outlay on this horse race alone will return a minimum of 8/1 to you and will lay the foundations of our relationship for the future. Then he just gives a free phone number, etc and says he's huge setting runs on the 2nd may. :\:\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowles10 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Re: (TIPS) I have just recieved a very weird letter i got one for Saturday. laid out to win, just ring him. I assume he will want money placed on his behalf, never bothered with these but unsure where they get the address from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
