Money exchange market

Sorry to even ask this question ,

A friend has been offered the opportunity to invest £30,000 and been promised returns or yield off 40% pa.

From what I understand the company has promised a income of between £800 and £1200 pcm ,

They buy and sell currency , we averaged out there promises to £1k pcm or £12k pa it does sound like a good return on such a small investment .

Too good to be true ? .

Sounds fishy to me. You should be happy to get a 5% return on investment.

Was your friend "randomly" selected before being offered this incredible opportunity?

Seems legit.

My only advice is to forget about the 30k and go all in.

Sounds like something this guy used to sell at Dunsdale Securities. Things caught up with him eventually. Tell your friend to run

The only place you can get returns like that is selling coke. Run.

Those kinds of returns aren't sustainable. Your friend needs to run, not walk, from this deal.
