More Smoke And Mirrors

"Cheng and Wong admitted to the panel that they raised approximately $3.5 million from roughly 150 Alberta investors, as part of the development

None of the projects has been completed." CNW Group

"At the height of the gold rush, a gang of con men operated in Skagway under the leadership of Soapy Smith. 

One of Soapy's best cons involved his "telegraph office." Recent arrivals were greeted by men who offered to send telegrams to 

their families for only $5. Most people did not look behind the "telegraph office" to notice that the wires ended a few yards out." Postal Museum 

Just like the Gold Rush in the late 1890`s Alberta's oil boom is bring con - men out of the woodwork. If you are investing then you should take care to do due diligence and get independent legal advice. Make sure your investment isn't like Soapy's telegraph wires that end a few meters behind a facade.
