I got free dinner for two (and free beer) one lunch time at Waggamma this year, so there can be such a thing as a free lunch if you take it literallyOriginally posted by original PM View PostIndeed no such thing as a free lunch - therefore anything which offers one is just a lie.

Because it's only guaranteed (to the creators of those schemes) if they can find mugs to put money into it.Originally posted by xoggoth View PostIf a company can make a guaranteed fortune with zero risk, from storage pods for example, why do they need to sell them to the public?

Think got cold called by them on several occasions. Did not fall for it. A bit of a Google should have warned anyone off, think the Times covered it.
Same with several other things I've been contacted about, so many are recent setups with no track record, have directors who have been associated with previous failed ventures etc. Some just don't make basic sense. If a company can make a guaranteed fortune with zero risk, from storage pods for example, why do they need to sell them to the public?
