I work for a company that provides Natural Coloured Diamonds for Investors and Collectors. We have just finished a 3 day exhibition and seminar at Londons Excel Centre. There is currently a lot of hype surounding our Company, Investors are jumping on board on and seeing quarterly returns from 6 - 8 % and we have a lot of collectors and long term investors. If you are interested in knowing more, then please drop me a reply with your contact details for a consultation.

And you market yourselves by spamming internet forums? You're kidding, right?

Posting one article is spamming?????????????

Calm down

[davidelevi]

It all depends on how many forums it is posted...

I think Neil's point though is an interesting one. Do you really want to market yourself this way, given the inherent image projected?

Yes. Unsolicited Internet sales material is spamming. You are welcome to call it what you wish but I think the term is pretty well understood by most. I don't really have that big a problem with it and apparently neither does Hermann (the admin) or you would have already been deleted, but it is what it is. It sure seems like an odd way to solicit investors for a diamond dealing venture (that is what you're soliciting isn't it?)

I'ld be happy to discuss the merits of your venture right here in the forum if you would like. I imagine Hermman would be willing to allow it if we can stay on track. Give us the sales pitch rather than just asking for email addresses so that you can pitch it in private. Why should an investor/collector buy from you rather than your numerous competitors? Why should a prospective investor participate and what sorts of protection/security are you offering to back up your words? Call me a cynic but I've come across a LOT of people pitching diamonds as an 'investment' and I have yet to see one that strikes me as a likely and repeatable program for non-experts. Your's is a bit different in that you're pitching an investment in a venture selling investments rather than asking folks to invest in diamonds themselves. Even this isn't entirely unpresidented; Tiffany and Blue Nile are both examples of public companies that flog diamonds, but I would be hard pressed to imagine either of them coming here promoting their stock. Can you? It's a big world and I'll cut you some slack. Go ahead, what's the pitch? Convince me.

Yeah Neil this is almost certainly spam and likely a scheme to defraud investors, but let's have some fun and see what the "pitch" is. My finger is softly caressing the "delete" button... LOL

I always love when people make an introduction talking about how much buzz there is about their company -- a company which no one being marketed to has ever heard of. Yep...we're *all* talking... LOL

(btw...that taste in your mouth...? That would be your foot, my friend.)
