Having a rant!
« Reply #10 on: May 12, 2010, 18:27:44 PM »
Thanks for the suggestion peecee - I spent yesterday afternoon doing just that - just need to get them printed and will put them through the doors. I honestly think some people believe what they want to - and if some bloke in a bar claims to be your best mate and says he can help you get better deals on work, furniture etc..... they read all the warnings but convince themselves that their mate is different - especially as he has probably used the lines like - you'll meet some really bad people in Calis who want to rip you off etc........

They'll lose a few hundred quid. Nothing really compared to the couple I met who wouldn't view any properties without their "special friend" coming along to advise them. They trusted him completely, and he sorted out a purchase without any agent or lawyer. They trusted him enough to pay £18,000 more than it was displayed for a property than it was in just about every estate agency window in the region.

Like I said, you have to let the gullible ones go. Even if you went to them and told them face to face, they probably wouldn't believe you and would hate you forever. I used to feel some sort of sorrow for them but sorry, it makes me p*** myself laughing these days. Especially when they email me for advice because it's all gone wrong.
