Anyone heard of a company called "Hambrook & Greenstock"?

Got a phone call at work about an 'investment oportunity' with them. They claim to be swiss but si=ound very english. The whole deal sounds like a con but they reckon they can return 拢65k from 拢6k in 5yrs. 1000%??!! Any ideas or are they living in a dream world?
