I watched a sparkling debate between Peter Schiff and Layah Heilpern. I wanted to congratulate Layah so found her on facebook and sent her a message. She sent me a friend message and invited me to invest in one of her projects. But I could never quite get to the bottom of what it was - mining, or what?
I asked for a pic of her holding a note with my name on it to confirm she was genuine, which she did a few days later. Primarily because her prospectus was so badly written, I was still suspicious, also because most of her 'freinds' were Arabs or Pakis. Maybe she just likes Arab men, I thought? Anyway, I trawled though all her facebook photos (a real chore!) and solved the mystery - they had taken a library photo, inserted a white square and written "Hi Hugo" on it, making it look like she was holding a sheet of paper.
There are quite a number of 'Layah Heilperns' on Facebook - I doubt if any of them are genuine!
