Gateway Technology Solutions - anyone heard of them?

[kev205]

Hello kev, you really got to ask yourself that if they are so sure that they can turn you a 55% profit over a year (that's what they told me) why do they need you and your money? I would hog the whole program to myself and keep all the winnings if I had this sure thing happening.

When the fellow called me he dropped his initial investment price to $1,000 as well, you have to ask yourself again why are they so desperate for your money?

I told the fellow that I was not financially viable and that I didn't have a job and that my investments in shares were down the gurgler and he replied with "this can very well suit you". I told him that I had investments with prospectuses, trustees, trust deeds and guarantees and I still lost money with them yet he claimed a betting program would return me 55% per year.

Of course he would offer his evidence by giving you a few names and phone numbers of people who are winning using this system but how do you know they weren't planted stooges working for him? Why is it that they have sold out in Victoria and Northern Territory but there was only a few spots left in NSW? Surely with all those over subscriptions from Victoria they could take some of the NSW places, what do you think?

I would stand aside if I was you, it sounds like a big con to me, sorry.

thanks Bill
also i checked that their ABN number is less that 12 months old.

Well. . . .if it seems too good to be true!! NO one gives money away when it is a sure thing to be made.

I note that the Material they sent me on returns clearly states upto August 2008. . . .but the company is only registered in the end of May 2008. So about 3 months in operation but showing data both listed in a table and in graphical format dating back to January 2008. 6 months more data than the company's registered life.

I am expecting them to call me again today. They will be getting a polite refusal from me regarding further contact.

I repeatedly requested those figures for the period extending beyond August 2008 - was promised them, but never received anything.

I work as a business reporter for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and was hoping to speak to anyone who has had contact with GTS, and particularly anyone who has invested. You can call me between 9am-5pm on (02) 8333 3838.

Hi,
for what it is worth i would not have any dealings with these people,
i work in the samr building as them , and they are a dodgy looking bunch of people who are very evasive when asked direct questions about their systems,
some salesman there are earning 3000 a week commission, so the basic rule about large commisions being paid equals poor investment should apply, i fully expect to come to work one day and find that they are no longer there, but thats surfers paradise for you.

I have just recieved all the offers indicated in the thread. did some research with Office of Fair Trading in QLD and ACCC. No bad news there. Rang 2 references that Gateway provided - sounded genuine however can't validate this.

Too many alarm bells ringing for me - declined their persistant offers.

 

[Mr J]

If they chase for your business, they are simply salesmen. Crooked in this case. If business was chasing them, then they may be legitimate.
