Fake Scots Titles

**Sketraw** · 20th February 11, 03:27 PM

Rather than clog up X-Markss with Fake Scots Titles Information, it now seems to have a NEW Forum & Social Network covering a range of topics. I hope folks will register and use the forum and the network. The more people that interact the more people are made aware of this Scam. Those already registered to the Fake Scots Titles Website do not need to register http://www.scots-titles.com/forum/

I thank you all for your input to this thread on X-Marks as it shows a wide variance of opinion.

So Black got mad and gave up his Canadian citizenship, becoming Lord Black as a Brit, but later was convicted in a US court and held for extra years in a US prison because Canada could no longer claim him to fall under treaty agreements and transfer him here, where the prisons are nicer and parole much more generous. It can't seem like the best deal Conrad ever made, especially to him.

It's worse than that for Connie. As a convicted felon and foreign citizen he is prohibited from entering Canada. There is supposedly a move afoot for the Minister of Immigration to allow him to reclaim his citizenship and come home but the Tories are worried about the backlash.

Stop Press....could this be the first of the fake title peddlers to topple.

Just think of the people they have scammed over the years thinking they actually owned a 1sq ft plot of land, which of course they did not, now they are left without even the thought. I suppose they still have their worthless piece of so called Title Deed to nothing.

Well that is a start and "better late than never". Yes, I feel for those that innocently parted with their hard earned cash, but I hope at least, that they draw some comfort from the fact that others will have avoided the same fate.

John, that's why it is so important for everyone to spread the word of this scam and point them in the direction of Fake Scots Titles saving even one innocent form this fraud is a step in the right direction and it hits the scammers in the place that hurts therm most, their Bank Balance.

I agree, but unless and until the "goodies" are prepared to go public with their names, "Jock" will continue to plough his own furrow.

I think what would be most effective exposing those who are using fake titles would be a clearinghouse of information regarding legitimate titles. Unless and until there is a listing of the people who hold legitimate titles, too many of these attempts like Fake Scots Titles might appear to be matters of he-said/she-said, regardless of the good intentions and sincerity of the owners. Just a thought, not a criticism.
