I don't doubt it is a scam, but I am trying to work out what the scam is... like, other than rape and kill me. But I'm really not very rape worthy to be honest.

That’s all ok then, rest assured he’s not going to rape you, just kill you.

"I can't make it then, but we'd love to have you here to meet the team and discuss things further if you're able to come?" would be my response. Or else you'd like to know a bit more about the investor before making the journey.

I like this.

Whilst this was a great promotion of your coin, I will not be investing today. I'm out.

How's he taking that selfie in the first pic? Definitely suspicious!

What does the rest of your team think Ross?

Is there a legal service you can use as an intermediary?

If they have that much dough then surely they can travel to you. Try some scam baiting.

Yeah, get him on safari

I also thought this, you can use an escrow service that acts as the trust in between.
Guy wants to talk to me again now, will see what he says. I have been given the name of the investors, past projects they invested in, more details on Alan etc. Still not buying it for toffee.

I don't know how these things work but if there's talk of [x] million dollars etc being involved in your buttcoins or whatevs, then is you thinking this through by way of a public forum a grand idea? I'm reminded of crypto guy in Motors who went hog wild on his bling and then realised it might be a good idea to redact almost everything.

e: to further show my ignorance, don't you have advisors for this kind of thing? Wouldn't rarifation and certification of enquiries have some kind of vetting system to go through?

Just look at his pictures... how is that not screaming 'dodgy'? Looks Turkish or something.. never trust a Turk.

I would not trust that guy to hold my camera to take a pic of me.

Be careful them addresses and photos might not be the person behind the screen. Fake 100% scam stay well clear.

This thread just popped into my head while watching a scam video on YT. So what was the outcome OP?

randomshenans · 18 Apr 2019 at 19:42

He kept asking if I could come, I said I was too busy (I really am anyway for wasting time) and said if he wanted to come see me he could come to Basel. He'd said he'd be in touch... not heard anything. I'm mr, **** it, see what it's all about for curiosity sake, but man I had a genuine nightmare of me being cut up in a van somewhere

The very fact your asking, given the sums involved, should be your answer imo.

Might be legit, but it doesn’t sound like it to me and yes I have no idea as to how your world / business works, I’m just reading this and giving you my gut reaction as a truck driver.

Now, if a truck driver of all people smells a rat, then you should think long & hard!

FWIW, I get contacted frequently via LinkedIn, usually completely random stuff that’s nothing to do with me nor my skill set, I see it as another scammers avenue tbh.....

My advice would be block any means he has of contacting you and look forward to the weekend.

Listen to this guy. If even a truck driver wouldn't go for it then you know it's shady. I mean the number 1 cause of death for truck drivers is being lured into a travelodge by a fake prostitute and having all of your organs harvested, I'm pretty sure that's a fact. So they have a pretty high threshold for scammage.

Nice self promotion of your coin venture.

If you have to even ask if it's dodgy - it probably is.

Sankari · 19 Apr 2019 at 12:10

Those photos are laughably amateurish. Definitely not a professional look.

Russian gangsters looking for a couple of free kidneys? Most likely.

foster grant · 19 Apr 2019 at 12:11

I have seen those pictures before on both FB and Twitter adds

Can you not see this is a scam ? lol
