Strange phone calls about purchasing shares

[GVBlade]

This reared it’s head about 4 or 5 years ago, and turned out to be a scam; and today I have had a call from ‘Chicago’ offering to buy my SUFC shares for rather a large wedge of cash. Suspect it’s a scam? Just wondered if anyone else has had a similar call?

I'll buy them from you. You can trust me because this is the internet.

Just give me your bank account number and PIN, so I can pay in like.

Better give me your motheŕs maiden name too, so I can hide it from any fraudsters.

The money will be in your account very shortly, once our director gets back. He's a Nigerian Prince and very rich, so you've nowt to worry about .

No offence to anybody but who would want to buy SUFC shares, scam or not. I'll leave that to MC and the Prince.

See United home page.

There are 477 deferred shares of £100 each in SUFC Ltd and a further 204 deferred shares of 1p each classed as equity. Everything else is owned by BLades Leisure/owners .

The 913 Preference shares are included as debt not equity.

None of the above mentioned shares entitles any holder to a vote or the right to attend an AGM so a bit of a waste of time.

If the shares are for Sheffield United Ltd, they are valued around 6-8p. The scammers should do a bit more homework.

Yes but I recognised The Prince’s voice instantly and hung up on him!

I’m up for this – have PM-ed you the details though, as I’m concerned posting them in the forum might not be very secure. Cheers.
