In this scam, the scammer is trying to convince you he has a large sum of money to invest and if you help him he has promised you a large share of the money.

In these scams, the scammer will usually offer you up to 40% of the amount he has to invest, quite a lot of money to give for the advice of a stranger.

As the scam progresses, the scammer will begin to ask you to pay some fees, for what is unimportant as every fee you are told about will be a lie and followed by another fees.

The fees will never stop coming and the money you have been promised will never arrive as it does not exist.

Please ,do not fall for this scam, eevrything he tells you is a lie designed to steal your money
