I've had my share of ridiculous offers - from dirt-cheap Viagra to Nigerian scams to hot girls who want me NOW! Today, I got my most ludicrous offer yet. I got this letter from this company called DSPC (Direct Share Purchasing Corporation Pty Ltd) offering to buy my AMP shares for $5.00 each. The funny thing is, those AMP shares have a (current) market value of $8.81, and it says so right there in the offer letter. The letter is a computer printout, but made out to look official - complete with a self-addressed envelope, barcode, and "Please consult your financial or other professional adviser."
This company have been mentioned in the newspapers before. It's a wonder it's still operating. From what I read, a lot of people (mostly seniors) fall for this scam. Well, they're not fooling me. This one's for you, Mr. Tweed. Unghh!!!
