Anyone any info on these guys? They've called persistantly offering to make lots of money for me through trading. They operate out of
I STRONGLY suspect they are the same gang who were on the prowl last year,
the ones where they ask you to invest $10,000 right now or you'll miss the chance then get all shirty.

They persisted in calling all the expats in the office. They seem kosher but drive you mad with their phone calls. If you do want to invest, the 'we can only do $10000 minimum' is not the actual minimum they will go down to.

Re: Shin kong wedbush
They are not kosher, they will call with an urgent offer of a failsafe deal.
You must make a commitment or you will lose the chance.
You must promise to pay them whatever you have got them down to.
At this point they get very shirty with comments like "you said you would commit" and "are you wasting my time"
and when you agree to pay, which I did just to shut him up, they put you on hold and pass you to their manager who says he is recording the conversation.
This is meant to scare you into thinking you dare not back out
They then actually send you an invoice.
You can then sit back and watch the share price fall but only after a couple of weeks when they have your money.
They seem proffessional but are just a front for a bunch of con artists.
I'm looking forward to their next call just to wind them up

Look on the internet for the company. You might also find other people posting comments about them.
There was a similar story last year from a company in South Korea. Nice brochure but sounded a bit dodgy and I found a thread where dozens of other people had been contacted in the same manner - polite voice, hard sell, talking about ESPN......I just put the phone on the table, let him talk abd eventually he realised after about 10 mins that there was no one listening !
