Circulation 240

Computer nerd bit

Robinson Secuirties LLC recently  offered me over the current price for some shares I owned for an hostile takeover, at first their web site looked OK, but there was no registration number on it, no external links to it, it was new site and a very low page ranking, I was overcome by greed and paid for lunch. I am now £3.50 out of pocket, but did not pay the £5,000 insuarance bond to guarantee that the deal went through
Web sites can be put up quickly and with templates available look very professional, it is getting hard for me to spot a scam.
Electricty is a common scam, in the UK we should pay about 9p per unit but some will try to charge 17p
