Yesterday, I received a name card from a person (details have been removed to protect the privacy). Apparently, he is promoting some investment products from a company called swisscash.
This is a company that promises an average investment return of 20% per calender month and 300% returns in 450 days. Warren Buffett would have been put to shame.
What I cannot understand is that how come even a person who is working as a stock broker can fall for such a thing.
Would you want to invest in a company registered in the Dominica Republic with a PO Box as the company address? Other than that, anything that promises you 20% returns/month guaranteed is definitely a scam. Many of them have come and gone, with different names but similar modus operandi.
Investors beware!

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 30 (Bernama) — Malaysians are advised not to invest in an investment fund under the name of Swiss Cash or Swiss Mutual Fund (1948) being offered through the Internet and local agents.
The Swiss Embassy here said in a statement today that the investment fund had no relation whatsoever with the country.
“The company operates outside Switzerland and is not subject to the very stringent Swiss banking laws,” the embassy said.
“The reference to Switzerland with the attribute Swiss is solely made with the purpose to attract the unaware public to invest, thinking that they would be protected by Swiss laws,” it added.
The Swiss Embassy does not recommend the investment fund and advised the public to be very cautious before investing in the fund.
