If it is a con man, nothing like sending the invite to a guy who was a policeman....
Usually. Especially if they're organizing the seating by putting a rep of the appropriate experience next to someone who (before the dinner) asked a question about a specific problem or asset class.So, a question for those of you who have been to such dinners. Do they check names against a list of people they know they invited? I think I want to use an assumed name on this deal just to prevent any further contact after the educational dinner for my DW.
Are you suggesting they were drained after? If so, job well done.
Come up to Milwaukee, I go to 2-3 a year.........
And how do people get invited to these things?
I get invites in the mail. Apparently, the lists being bought are not screnned too well, since I still get them a couple times a year. Usually, I don't identify myself, I just see what's going on. However, I did go to one held by an insurance guy that said, and I quote: "Think of your whole life insurance policy cash value as the BOND portion of your portfolio"...........
He was a real "winner".........

My mom works for a large insurance company in the Milwaukee area that we won't name and um... that's how they sell it to everyone. Then they encourage you to borrow from it.
I'm curious what behavior gets your name/address on these lists; are there things I can avoid or embrace that will see my names start to show up?
Oh boy, and someone probably fell for that...
