Police teach people that money doesn't grow on trees
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8159174.stm Police have held a series of sessions for victims of a multi-million pound Ponzi scheme to explain their losses.
More than 700 people were caught out by the high-yield investment fraud, with losses estimated at £80m.
But investigators have been struggling to win the support of victims who refuse to believe their life savings are gone.
What I think would help in this situation is if someone invented a popular teaching aid that would both enthrall members of the public but also teach them sound financial values. Say, I don't know, a board game.
Why-oh-why is no-one doing this?
