Thanks Bill Sweetman for sharing the story…it definitely reaches more people through DNW and certainly helps in future…
It is surprising that the person tried to go for a established broker with another established broker name…he didn’t thought that they both might already be in contact…. Lol..
I thought I saw this name somewhere recently…can’t find it..so I might be mistaken.
Thanks
This sounds like a very intriguing story and the whole 30 minute interview had lots of twists and turns.
‘lnvested.com’ – I am pretty scam-savvy but that is the best example of a typo I have seen yet, but the biggest red flag for me was the 10k price tag.
Merry Christmas!
