The bizarre thing is why anyone would do business with someone who not only claims to be a terrorist but also states that his assets have been frozen. Pulling off a fraud by claiming to be a terrorist is not a very sensible thing to do as the lie could get him into more serious trouble than the crime.

A fraudster who falsely claimed he was a terrorist with links to al Qaida has been jailed for 12 years, officers have confirmed.
Hashem Omran, 55, claimed his assets had been frozen by the Government because of his terrorist connections.
A jury at Leeds Crown Court heard that Omran produced a fake document about this fictional asset freeze and used it to con others out of huge amounts of cash by implying the authorities had full control of his bank accounts and finances, according to the North East Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU).
He claimed he would repay any funds loaned to him as soon as the sanctions were lifted.
Police said Omran earned more than £2.2 million from his frauds.
