I'm not in Hong Kong and not a commercial pilot - I work in the oil industry. However, I and my colleagues routinely get cold calls from people wanting to invest our money for us

One call I received was from a quite polite guy, and since I was not busy, I thought I would humour him for a while. We finally reached the point where he told me he could get me into low-risk, special investments not available to the the general public.

"Like what?", says I, innocently.

"The Royal Bank of Scotland".

"You mean the bank that single-handedly, nearly brought down the Western financial system?"

End of conversation.

This particular salesman worked for a company that features prominently on a website called Pissed Consumer

Very interesting reading.

Caveat emptor, chaps.
