Ahh Tech give the poor guy a break - at least he was smart enough to do a little research before handing over his hard-earned.

I've dealt with a number of people who have been sucked in by con artists over the years and inevitably it's not the quality of the product that suckers them in...its the quality of the salesmanship. *Ahh Ahh Ahh STORM* Pardon my sneeze.

I'm sure there was even a financial planner that was ridiculed in the industry for being sucked into a Nigerian scam using clients money. These things get more and more sophisticated over time.

For me it boils down to two simple rules..

1) Always own the asset DIRECTLY
2) NEVER invest in something you do not understand.

It's amazing how those two simple things can keep you out of trouble.

Cheers
