I too received a call, just this evening, here in Ireland.
The polite gentleman was very sympathetic and repeated
the phrase "you dont want to send good money after bad"

He mentioned legal fees of 10 per cent and another 8 per cent on
successful completion.He did not indicate any up front payment but did refer me to their web site and suggested that a search would also find
confirmation of a EC bases institution which hands over fraud
compensation funds. So far I cannot find any such EC institution.

He was very sure about the potential success rate and referred
confidently to the European Compensation Fund as being a thing of fact
which would oblige the Spainish Government to compensate in full
all losses and legal cost which arise as a result of fraudulent activity.

He explained that they would take what I understood to be some style of class action and was very confident of getting a full refund for all those who lost in this case. He promised to call me again on Thursday.
He gave a phone number to me in case I wanted to call him back.

I was wise enough to be very modest with my Fortuna investment but
I would be more than miffed to be doubly caught.

What is the law on this kind of thing in UK ?
Is it covered by Consumer protection agencies ?
Can any one of you get it on to BBC crime watch or watch-dog or whatever so that we can have some exposure and clarity ?

I will not pay up front ever without a cast iron irrrevocable guarantee, but as ithye caller sounds so polite and plausable and kindly ( so British !) it is for sure that many people will be conmvinced to do so.
