This post nearly got scammed by former business associate; (trust no one)

Looking forward to the future of business

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
