Received an email this morning inviting me to join Betfair Pro Trader dot com.

BPT want:
Access to your Betfair account
Want to trade on your behalf
If they win they will invoice you for 50% of the profits.

They also want to charge you £295 for joining!

If they are so good at trading why don't they use their own
money and keep 100% of the profits? Sounds like a major scam to me - be warned!

Interesting spelling in the FAQ

Q. I live in the USA can I join

A. You can join but you are not aloud to gamble on online in most states in US again you should check this.

And the obvious question is not there:

Why do Betfairtraderpro not just bet on their own behalf?

I Googled their phone number: They are also trading as Eliteliveracing,
Bettingsystems4u, Soccerlayer, Bet-2-net, UK-betting-tips.co.uk - sounds
like a full-time scamming operation!

The sad thing is that they'll get takers.

Someone in my own family did a coupla grand to an organisation like this a few years
ago. He still believed their story even AFTER he'd done his wedge. He was talking about
taking them to court. A businessman, but not very street-wise!
