Investment scams

Every minute a sucker is born (PT Barnaum). Let us not be one





A number of scams has been published involving fleecing of the investor or the lender.  However there are supposed investor scammer:

    1.  Nigerian scam -  The party is supposed to be a recipeient of million dollar inheritance. Now if the 
         reader of the letter would be willing to fork out x $ to facilitate the documentation

    2  Romantic scam -  the lady usually is a marine or armed forces officer who has stash of gold
        or currency taken from the warlords.  Now if the reader can advance money transfer facilitation for
        xxx$ amount....

   3.  A former business partner who is now in USA asked me in DM if I am aware of IFC benefits for 
        those senior who are unemployed.   I tried ot access the IFC but was denied.  Went back to the 
        fmr business partner  He referred me to a Korean sounding person who would facilitate the release
        of the funds.   He came back soon and said if I could fork out $500.00  I would get $50,000 benefits,
        $700 for $70,000   $1,000 for $100,000 (thats a lot P6M) for only P60,000

  4.  Lately this post got solicitation from a North American principal   He asked for a proposal and I
       asked for a proposal.  This post asked data from him which he never sent.  I sent him an executive
       seminar and rebuked me on certain matters not related to the matter of the investment.   I thought
       he was just fishing for the idea.

Would you fall for any of this
