Phone calls from shady brokers

Does anyone else get phone calls from dodgy "brokers"
I must get about 4 calls a week- after a few minutes chat they put the phone down.
I just took a call in the last hour
It started with - do you want to make some fast money
Then I asked: Are you FCA regulated?
He told me his company was -
I then asked are you a broker?
Then he puts the phone down
Well have just done an FCA check - Guess Financial (the company he was representing) are not FCA regulated.

Here is the number they called from: 0203 695 9294 if anyone else gets pestered
If I could track their website down I would report them to the FCA for false misrepresentation

Great tactics, this should be made as a sticky thread in broker section
Would save so many lives and pockets.

Not only from brokers, I also received calls from scammer signal marketers. Just disgusting, they talked like a stupid.

Guess Financial

the name says it all

Nothing new. If you have ever worked in sale you would know that this technique is pretty common. Good brokers usually don’t need any out bound campaigns; they have enough leads to work with. But thanks for posting this. It is a good idea to warn everybody else about such a thing going.

Annoying pricks those scums are.

My wife and I both (independently) signed up with a broker that I will not name. Then for the next 2 years we have been receiving aggressive calls from offshore brokers trying to sell us services promising we can make money. It really has been annoying. Now when I sign up with a broker I only ever use a fake number. Its bad it has got to this but what can i do.

I’ve had calls from dodgy brokers before. I don't even know how they got my number. And they persist, even when you ask them not to call you anymore because you’re not interested.

The British regulator FCA recently published several signs to look out for that you’re about to get scammed:

Unexpected contact – both a cold call on the phone and online;
Time pressure – offering you a bonus or discount if you invest before a certain date, or you might be told that the opportunity is only available for a short period of time;
Social proof – scammers may share fake reviews and claim other clients want the deal;
Unrealistic returns – quite often you will be promised swift and generous returns, which sound too good to be true – for example much better interest rates than anywhere else;
False authority – fraudsters often claim to be regulated and will speak with authority on investment products
Flattery – they may play as if they are your friends and lure you into a false sense of security.

If a broker is doing that you should become very cautious.

im more concern if someone at the brokers we use sold our contacts to these companies. they dont call my wife, because she doesnt have any brokerage accounts. im the only one receiving it.
