Scam!I replied with the following message:

This sounds great!  I have a ton of invesment opportunities in farm project or real estate.  Please send along an investor package with all the pertinant information including bank name and account number.  If you have a routing number, that would help speed things along as well. 

Thanks a lot for the opportunity and I look forward to doing business with you.

Warm regards,

David Cahill

 

I got a response, but for some reason it showed up in my spam folder.  Why does this not surprise me?

participation and what is the Return on Investment (ROI).What is gesticulation period of the investment and what input has your
company made in this business investment.

More importantly,My client wish you to stand as his investment manager to the security company where her late husband deposited the $15.5m in two metallic trunk boxes,which her late husband instruct the security company that if his wife did not present a viable foreign investment manager for the funds to be invested in a lucrative business they
should not release the money to her,But now that you have showed interest to be her investment manager,i will notify my client so we send you all the documents of this funds and the security company full contact.

I wonder whose phone number I should give them.  I asked for their account numbers, but did not get any.  Should I be suspicious???  He also spelled my name wrong.  Perhaps I will not do business with this person after all...

I think it may be one of those internet scams. I always get suspicious when poor grammar is used.
