Yes Paul, it is a shame. We hear, too often, these stories; and the surprising thing, for me at least, is that these people are warned that they are scams, but can only see the dollar signs, it seems, and continue despite the clear warnings. How can so many people get caught up in these scams; and they are often reasonably intelligent people! Mind boggling, to say the least.
As for lawyers acting in your best interests, well.........? Maybe I am just too damn cynical, which is probably just as well!
