I was a victim of sugging the other day.
Net Lifestyle Limited had a foreign call centre give me every impression it was conducting market research about attitudes to tax. Next step was a local call back offering to provide ‘tax advice’. After some questioning it became apparent that I would be offered the services of the Circle Group, which funnily enough is half-owned by the owner of Net Lifestyle. Circle is yet another property investment spruiker clipping the ticket of the type of unsophisticated investors sought by the Blue Chips and Richmasterys of the world. Net Lifestyles

I came across your blog on Technorati. Nice site layout. I will stop by and read more soon.

Thank you for posting this (and Google for pointing me to it). I answered a call from Net Lifestyles today and you’ve confirmed my suspicions about them. I insisted that I didn’t want a follow up phone call or for them to post me any of their “free” information (and hung up on him) but I’ll be interested to see if they contact me anyway.

Interesting they’re still operating, I wouldn’t have thought there’d be a lot of takers for their schemes in the current environment – then again that’s why they have to cold call.
