Forward div of say 36p , @7.25% still gives £4.96/share . I guess anything at 7.5% ,ie £4.80 or below will be picked up quite quickly .
I’d buy more but only below 4.50. I’ll hopefully reinvest my divi but not decided how high I’d buy at with the reinvestment , or take cash
I’ve set a buy order for £4.60 - so about a 7p drop more than dividend amount.
..we have a nice divi to collect in may....sp recovered very well sine the Sept 23 dip ..glad like a few on here added plenty at the time...gla
100% it's a scam.
What annoys me is I have to jump through hoops to open any form of bank account and yet scammers don't seem to have any problem. I appreciate some scam accounts will be overseas but to transfer from a UK bank account still requires a degree of cooperation in this country.

''Almost certainly a scam. I will fire this email off to Aviva……..''
WHY?
Aviva are not the people to deal with boiler room scams.
You should be giving details to the FCA
V. Surprised you don't think it can be anything but a scam. Drop them pdq and block further communication
Paul30661, Had a call maybe 10 years ago from a scammer trying to buy my Unilever shares and saying they already owned over 30% !! Kept the guy on the phone for 30 minutes, probing him about his knowledge re legal requirements to notify the markets at different ownership thresholds, he hadn't a clue it seemed !! My view was that I'd wasted his time and maybe saved someone else being scammed. Tbh, view these scammers as filth. Unilever encourage investors to let them know so that they can forewarn others.
Tomorrow.
When is ex dividend date?
It’s obviously a scam . Also when a company or a fund owns 30% of a company it has to make a takeover offer and no fund or individual owns more then 30% of Aviva let alone 41%
Without doubt it’s a Scam…
I would never fall for that..!! I have a trusted “Nigerian Prince” that looks after all my financial matter's…
I don’t think we are going to see Aviva holding on to @ £5 this year, half way through the £300 million buybacks already, Burning @5/6 million a day…?
? I doubt that Aviva will be the slightest bit interested and there is very little that they can do.
It would be better in terms of protecting others if you report it to Action Fraud and also the Fnancial Conduct Authority (although almost certainly the company is based overseas so they won't be able to do anything)
Almost certainly a scam. I will fire this email off to Aviva……..

Quite sure it’s a scam
This is at least the 6 th board I have seen with this type of thing.
If it sounds too good to be true .
It then must be a scam.
Nobody doing a take over would do this when they can buy on the open market a lot cheaper.
Ffs! It's obviously a scam.
I'd be more worried that this boiler house operation has your details, and if you gave them any of your time, you're now on their suckers list which will result in more calls and scam money making schemes.
They can buy them normally for £4.91 and there must be better ways of buying a company than cold calling individual investors. I'm fairly certain it is illegal to acquire a company like this
Just had an interesting phone call from a company trying to aquire Aviva ahares in an attempt to purchase the company. They already hold 41% but require another 10% to buy out the company. They are offering between £10-£20 for my shares.. Is this a scam or a genuine attempt to buy the company.
Well, that seemed quick!
Aviva today announces that, it has completed the acquisition of AIG Life Ltd from Corebridge Financial (a subsidiary of American International Group), for £453m.
The acquisition was cleared by the CMA on 28 March, just before Easter.
But then, it had been first announced on 25 September 2023 (6.5 months ago), whereas the intended acquisition of Friends Life was announced 21 Nov 2014 and completed 13 April 2015 (under 5 months).

NO - It wasn't a split. Basically it was a forced sell of (from memory) 24% of your shares for £4.24. It had no bearing on the SP (in theory at least).
Soton, of course mate i agree, I bought these at a low price during Pandemic, and sold off at a good profit, later on i then bought back and currently back in profit again, if i sell any now i would like to buy back again at some point, but also roofer has a good point mng are dropping like a stone, will have to give it a bit more thought
Whatever you do/say Rob this as been good to me over the years...Only wish VOD would perform like this....As for strategy I'm taking the divi then if/when it goes above £5 will sell a lump....
Robleo, always a tricky dilemma , dividend pays 22.3p , will probably drop more than that , just look at mng other week, just depends on your strategy, at end of day we're all here for profits
