The growing popularity of the phoney research scam

There must be a "scam community" out there, sharing tips and techniques. That is my conclusion as a result of an epidemic of recent cold calling purporting to be "research".

The latest popular scam consists of boiler rooms pretending to be serious organisations conducting "a survey among investors to gauge confidence" or some such nonsense. Back in the summer, I wrote about how I had been apparently contacted by a researcher at the University of Luxembourg who was interested in my views on the stock market.
