IGF wants FinMin to act against Speak Asia


Investors' Grievances Forum, chief, Kirit Somaiya has written a letter to finance minister reporting the alleged fraud by Speak Asia, Asia's largest survey group.

"The latest addition to this line is a company called Speak Asia Online. SpeakAsia, is an online company, collecting large sums of money by rapidly enrolling people with the promise of incredible payments for simply filling out online surveys," mentioned Somaiya.
