AXA Shares

[GhostofJimJess]

A little while back I acquired a bunch of shares (about 2000) in AXA. I recently received an offer from Direct Share Purchasing Corporation in the mail to buy tem from me at $3/share. However, the current market value of an AXA share is $4.84/share.

What's the go there? As someone alien to the process of buying/selling shares, why would an offer so far below markt value be made, and more important to me, why would I not take it up?

Appreciate any advice from someone more adept in the art.

Offers like this are just playing a numbers game, they know some people will be silly enough to sell at such a low price.

I got that letter too. It came with a prepaid stamp (or whatever it is) on it.

Here's what you do:

Don't fill out the offer. Instead write in big letters "F*CK OFF TWEED YOU SLIMEY F*CK". And then send it.

Result: he gets abuse and has to pay for it (the stamp). If you don't send it he doesn't have to pay for the stamp.

Well known Con this bloke. Preys on the Mum and Dad shareholders and the elderly. Have seen one where he offered a share price above the current level....but payed over 15 years.

Thanks for all of that.

I particularly like the idea of your suggestion Bunsen - do you think I could also include a return offer for the services of his wife for three bucks a share?!

Cheers for the heads-up fellas.

It is a dead set con. DO NOT SELL to THAT Company, you will be the loser if you do.
