This post got a friend request from a former business colleague (we built houses for him) whom I heard lived abroad and left his very very wealthy wife and laws. And so later on he inquired whether I have known about an international finance company aid to poor retired people like me. He referred me to a person, a Chinese who could help me process the grant. The legit website, a World Bank affiliate is inaccessible and only accepts loan application.
I got through the Chinese agent and less than an hour said my grant of $100,000 was approved. However I had to fork out $ for delivery charge which amounted to about 10% of the grant. A variant of the Nigerian scam.
I relayed the information to the former business associate but he never replied. Is he part of this suspected scam? How could he? I dealt with him straight while in the Philippines.
This post stayed off the DM of the Chinese agent and the former business colleague. I hope I never hear from them again
