My mother was close to selling her entire IRA to invest it all in gold at Lear Financial. A man named James Novak was selling it to her on the phone. I happened to type Lear Financial into Google to try to find out some information about it and came across the page on ripoffreports.com, which alone was surely enough to dissuade my mother from investing in it. Then I decided to try to investigate James Novak, who claimed to be the third-highest-ranking employee at Lear Financial.

The rates for electricity bill adjusted in October 08 but in fact we can see oil price plunges dramatically for the past 6 months. The reason given being SP Services stock up oil for past whatever months and price was high at that point of time. How about the lower oil price now SP Services buy low now. How about old stock of oil already used up now and they are using cheaper oil now. When is SP Services going to reduce the rate for electricity? Hope someone can help us to voice our grievance. From the submissive citizen of Singapore. Thank you. read full review »
