International Land Banking Investment - SCAM?

Invest in what you understand, how it works to generate profit for you...

Today, many investors are asking : Is Land Banking Investment a SCAM?


My answer : I do not know... But, If the investment is so profitable, why they need to invite small investor to get involved in this investment.


Is the developer doing the same as land banking investment? If yes, what's the different between buying developer share vs land banking investment?

For me, developer should do better than land banking investment because we do not understand how land banking investment works, and how to audit it. Just be careful.

Just do a quick search in google. Land banking SCAM?

You will get better answer....


For me, i always say NO TO LAND BANKING INVESTMENT.

Canada Land Banking Investment
- The Land Banking is very high risk investment, and so far, i haven't see any good performance from this investment. If you google "Walton International SCAM or EdgeWorth Property Pte Ltd?" @google.com, you will be able to see many complaints @investment forum. Just be careful when land banking investment agent approach you.

- For me, if you want to invest Land Banking, you should buy IJM Land, SP Setia, Mah Sing Group and etc. This is a real business, which is managed by High Quality Managment Team.
