s a great investment that should not be missed out on, so gooHi i got phone call from this company telling me of a so called great investment opportunity. The callers name was Samantha Barrett and she is a manager for PDF GROUP's (scams), this lady told me about PDF GROUP's investment opportunity which promissed massive returns for a seemingly small investment. Their business was betting on horses with so called investors (punters) that were great at what they did and were in the know on what horses would win each race. I was very sceptical but Samantha kept reassuring me that it wad in fact that she had invested herself the year before and had already made over $50,000 from a $6000 investment. Samantha wanted me to Pay $9000 which would pay for these so called miracle investors to put bets on for each saturday and sunday for the year. I told her that i was saving to get married and that i didn't have enough money to afford that , then she said i could pay $5000 and that would pay for the investors to place bets for saturday only for the year and at the end of the year when i had made in excess of $40,000 i could re-invest the next year in the $9000 investment and make over $80,000 the following year i told her i'd have to think about it. Samantha called me the following day telling me that there was only a few positions left and i didn't want to miss out on this opportunity. I had researched PDF GROUP the night before and found on scam book someone who had the same call as me and thought it was a scam, Samantha Barrett assured me it was not a scam and that i could not loose eventually i decided to give it a try i paid $5000 that paid for the investor to bet then i had to deposit $1000 into a betting account with (Betjack ) a betting company i had not heard of before then they would take care of the rest. after about weeks i checked my Betjack account and noticed i had only won on a few of the bets that had been placed and the rest had lost i was a bit concerned and called Samantha and she reassured me that in the first few months my $1000 would slowly rise and as the money built up it would grow faster and faster until i was making a fortune. Still very sceptical i waited and by the 6 month mark i checked my account to find out that i still wasn't making any money, from the $1000 in my account was now only at $1120 starting to realise that id been scammed i also researched Betjack to my surprise i found articles saying that they were an illegal offshore run betting agency and account holders were being ripped off and having great difficulty ever getting their money back i tried to ring Samantha to find out why they signed me up to an illegal offshore betting agency and what was going on and was told several times she was at lunch or away sick or busy and would ring me backs soon as she gets back. After this happening several times and her not ringing me back i realised she was avoiding me so i rang up and told her secretary i was someone interested in investing , sure enough Samantha was suddenly available. She answered and as i started to abuse her and tell her how she helped PDF GROUP scam me out of my hard earned money she told me i was being rude and hung up. I gave up any hope of ever getting my money back and realised ringing wasn't going to do me any good only waste more of my time and money, so over the next 5 months i checked my Betjack account with little hope of getting any of my investment money back and i was right the most my money got up to was $1239 then slowly started going backwards after 11months in total my account balance is at $569 and yesterday i got an Email from PDF GROUP which said Betjack is having Account issues and it will be hard to ever withdraw the remaining account balance.I have gone into my Betjack account and requested to withdraw what left of my initial $1000 ($569 into my bank account about 15 times so far, every time it says your request has been sent(My money never gets withdrawn. Ive tried to ring Betjack,a message says leave your name and number and we'll call you back(they never do) Thanks PDF GROUP you scammed me out of $6000 thanks to you i will never again fall for another telephone investment scam hopefully this message will save someone else from being scammed by you.
