Inside Track ads

Advertising Standard Authority: Complaint

HPC Webmaster, please can we post this link permanently on the home page. Among Inside Track ads: "FREE! 'How You Can Give Up Work and be a Propery Millionaire Instead'" "Do you think the purpose of life is to slave for forty-five years, pay off a mortgage on some pitiful little house and then huddle in front of a 1-bar electric fire, struggling to make ends meet? ... I don't know whether to laugh or cry at people's complete lack of financial savvy. They are heading for a lifetime of drudgery and lack, and a poverty-stricken miserable old-age"

"The mailing breached CAP Code clauses 2.2 (Responsibility) 6.1 (Honesty) and 7.1 (Truthfulness) on this point."

"The mailing breached CAP Code clauses 6.1 (Honesty), 7.1 (Truthfulness) and 9.1 (Fear and distress) on this point."

Etc., etc.

Great link, Confused. I agree that this one warrants a permanent place on the home page. It is a scandal that investing in property and the related raising of finance is not covered by the Financial Services legislation and one which, I am sure, will be by the time this tragi-comedy has played itself out - but too late for so many who now face financial oblivion instead of the security in old age that they have been promised by these charlatans.

The 'Inside Track' to the poorhouse! These criminals need jail, not a slap on the wrist from an advertising regulator.

This was an excellent link exposing the exploitation of people in this country.

There has never before been such a need for financial education in schools - at a time when schools are labouring under the yoke of "political correctness".

Royston,

Yes I agree, the penalty for blatantly promoting mortgage fraud should be prison.

Ummmm let me see though how many prison places do we have available for non violent offenders?

I agree that they should be put down and what is not toxic waste should be fed to the amoebas (a higher form of intelligence)!
