I dunno dude that sounds awfully fishy to me, first why did he pick you, i dunno if thats even legal, cause if you give someone your social security number and stuff, they can really screw you over. Happened to my uncle. So my advice is look into it cause if it is legit what an opportunity, Ill send a copy of it to my sister, shes pretty good with this stuff. hope it works out. peace

You're kidding right? I get one of these a week.....if not two or three...always Arabs. They always throw in some true facts to make it more realistic for the sucker who bites (ie. the poor dead guy and his family who perished in the crash).

Even if it wasn't a farce (which it is)...sounds like Money Laundering 101.

Go ahead and legally be bound to this mysterious business. Next thing you know, applications for lines of credit will be taken out for the business and your partner "disappears" when the bank comes to collect.

Asking for your name and address is all they need to draft legal documents and then have you sign off ensuring your financial ruin, possible be jailed for any crimes committed by said business venture.

If you have an enemy, give Abu HIS info haha.

Signed,
Karma
