�Next year�s mistakes�

Despite the lessons we should have learnt over the last few years, people continue to fall for the nonsense peddled by the proponents of various Get Rich Quick schemes. You might think that with the memory of Eurextrade fresh in our minds, people would now understand that any scheme they encounter that promises to quickly make them rich is a lie, wouldn’t you? But it’s not so.

Even within days of Eurextrade collapsing the same people who had been busy recruiting other victims had moved to an identical but short-lived scheme calling itself Oil of Asia and were doing their best to recruit others to that scheme instead. Not only hadn’t they learnt their lesson but they thought they could recover some of the money they’d lost by joining another scam. These were serial scam victims.
