Hi All,
It is so sad what is happening back home. I do sympathize for the people who got scammed.

When it comes to scammers like Sakvithi, we just can’t put the blame only on Central Bank and the government. I am not for the government any way. but, my argument is that part of the blame should be taken by the people them selves too, who tend to invest their hard earned money in this kind of places. this is simply not the first such indecent happened in our country.

From what I have heard, this Sakvithi guy was offering Rs6000 a month for an investment of Rs100000. isn’t this too good to be true? If something is too good to be true, it is simply not.I think one should put little bit of a thinking before go and dump their life saving in to some unknown investment.

The fact is that there will be always scammers as far as there are people who get scammed. so, the question is whether we blame others for what is happening and keep on doing all the stupid things we have been doing and have more heart breaks or take a step back,think before we commit any thing and avoid any further heart breaks?
the very first thing that came to my mind when I heard this indecent is;
“Thnhaa jaayathee socoo, thanhaa jaayathee bhayang”

Heard there are some high profile people (like our spring queen) having put money with sakvithi (mama iganweemata upannemi – yes to teach a damn lesson to the entire country). They are not owing up due to tax issues / embarrassment etc..

Hello,

It is really sad about what had happened.The poor public are again sufferring. The central bank people are responsible for this, they should know about these bogus investment ventures beforehand. They have the skills and the knowledge about such scams and should have informed the public and most importantly banned such financial institutes.
They should know that they are getting a big salary compared with the rest of Sri Lanka’s workforce ( at retirement they are entitled to a pension as well as a provident fund and lots of allowances) I have heard that even a cleark in the Central bank earns a big paycheck.
So these guys should look after the poor public because they are living to the tax payers money and should be more caring towards the public. But I think everyone nowadays are thinking only about themselves, their future and just do not think about other. What a shame for a country where the majority are Buddhists!

One must always investigate and fully research any financial investment in my opinion if your willing to put money anywhere without knowing everything you possibly can then you are not a sound business person. Some of my friends say I am anal about my money or jewish, but I am always the one they ask for money when they can’t pay rent.

It is ridiculous how human beings tread on other human beings. He will get his in the end.
