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.

Update: The victim's daughter did spot that and subsequently investigated.
