Fancy preying on people who've already been fleeced. More especially if they also voted Brexit. My thoughts precisely. One can just imagine with PPI's Brexit and Thomas Cook, the same knuckledraggers probably fell for the rebuild Iraq scam too. There is no shortage of people in the UK ready and willing to be fleeced, as Boris Farage and Mogg have found out so easily :-) AB |

Did you know that if you only paid a percentage of your holiday balance via
credit card you can then claim the whole amount back from the card company, as long as you have receipts? Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

The funnyest scam I've heard was the one about a nigeria astrounat that the americans left orbiting the earth and couldn;t afford to bring him back, so they were asking for donations, and when he was back he'd pay everyone back from his back dated salery. |

Fancy preying on people who've already been fleeced. More especially if they also voted Brexit. My thoughts precisely. One can just imagine with PPI's Brexit and Thomas Cook, the same knuckledraggers probably fell for the rebuild Iraq scam too. Thomas Cook had over a bilion pounds in debt as a result of massively overpaying for Airtours in 2008, and only recently admitting that that purchase had no asset value. It is one of many zombie companies with completely unsustainable debt that have been kept alive by negative interest rates since 2009. If we had returned to 'normal' interest rates when help-to-speculate started they would have disappeared earlier, like Woolies, NHS and Mothercare have. I suspect much of the PPI scam money ended up being spent on Thomas Cook holidays, and that juicy money stream,some tens of billions of pounds has now stopped. |

Wait until McDonnell resurrects British Leyland to build 'windmills' for an example of a non-public service being funded by the money-tree. |
