I've been contacted by 2 new members over the past week.
The first "curious1" (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=241762) wanted to know how he/she could avoid being ripped off using BTC- they have not logged back in since they read my reply (where I explained I was fortunate that I had been able to collect the personal details of the person who scammed me and was making it a legal matter).
The next message I just received from a "holt007" (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=247771) who had this to say;
Hi,
I am an Investigative Assistant with the BC Securities Commission. It was brought to my attention that there may have been a breach of the Securities Act involving Black Lilac Financial Corporation and associated individuals.
I would like to talk to you about what happened.
Could you please contact me at xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Thank you.
Anyone else been messaged by either of these people? I find it highly coincidental that I would be messaged by 2 separate brand new members within a week.
Interestingly "Black Lilac Financial Corporation" was never a registered company as I understand, whereas 2ASIC was, and yet this individual refers to them and not the registered company.
(BC stands for British Columbia as Grant Millar is from Vancouver) I'll call the number provided when time zones permit and update.
