Heard this on the news.
The victim of the fraud invested the money in "Synergy Capital Asset Management" without realising that it was a SCAM.
The media are not making the rather obvious link.
The name is not a coincidence.
Cold call scammers generally insert red flags into their initial contact because it costs them a lot of time to lure a sucker in and they do not want to waste that time on people who will work out that it is a scam.
