  Fahim Khan, 36, originally of Manchester, was arrested with 16 other suspects, 14 of them British, at a telesales office in Palma, Mallorca.
  
  During a breakthrough joint raid by Spanish and City of London police, officers found a "suckers list" of over 2,000 UK names. Typically, victims pay more than the odds for shares that are worth next to nothing - if they exist at all.
  It is believed the gang netted £8 million!!!
  
  Here's the list of company shares they were selling:
  
  Dyno Medical
  Inca Pacific Gold and Mining
  Viking Gold Resources
  Everoffice SL
  Bio Generation Ltd
  Inca Pacific Ltd
  B G Finance Ltd
  IPGM Ltd
  Darrer Nandin Operations Ltd
  Cartwright Group
  
  If you've bought any of these shares, please contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 20 40 or visit www.action fraud.org.uk.

  Beware there are a lot of scammers like this.
  
  Sometimes they spend quite some time with their cold-calls each time coming away with a little snippet of personal information. All very friendly and legitimate sounding. Eventually, months or in one case even over a year later, they are calling asking about your sick grandmother or pet dog, discussing the results of your favourite football team etc. This way they gain trust. Eventually they present a particulary 'hot' opportunity, people decide to give these 'nice' people a chance and your money is gone.....
  
  I know of one such company operating out of Florida fortunately one of their victims was quick off the mark and got them arrested. The 'sting' backfired.
