Ditto - and for the record, I don't sell on here, i'm on here to get feedback about what people think and feel about Brasil and where they are looking to invest - not only as it helps my market research but also because it's helping me decide where in Brasil to invest myself. It doesn't help anyone or anything when you are consistently repeating the same sentence "don't invest!! I got scammed".

I don't advertise anywhere on the forums which company I do research for. A couple of people have asked me in pm's and I'm happy to tell them as thankfully I have nothing to hide, but no... I don't do sales... and even if you contact me at work I won't sell you anything. But repetitive, counterproductive posts annoy me.

As someone else mentioned earlier, it would be more helpful to the other forumites to share what you learned from your unfortunate experience. I'm assuming you found out why you lost the money and how you could have avoided it. If you would share what you found out with regards to how you could have avoided it, now that is something that many people would love to hear about rather than the constant "don't go to Brasil, I got scammed there".

What did you do wrong and what should you have done instead?
