So a girl who is based in China (Beijing) actually, has been chatting with me for about 2 months, so I thought she was an ordinary girl etc.
I know she works in the entertainment (movies) industry, not as an actress, and have been showing me some of her investment portfolios.
Apparently, in China, you are able to invest in an upcoming movie, and when the movie is showing and near to the end, you will get paid your returns based on how well the movie does.
So she was asking me to combine with her to make an investment of $500k RMB, of which I will come out with $200k and she herself $300k but the caveat is that I will have to give her 10% of the profits that I make. She even sent me a contract that I will need to sign with the movie company itself with details of the movie, bank account etc. to transfer to. (how believable right)
I was thinking, man it looks like the China scammers have evolved because this deal sounds more credible than the other so called scams, and actually got me believing that she was genuinely making friends.
So guys do watch out for similar such cases, of course I have no way of verifying whether it's really a scam and I don't intend to, but just take note in case your receive similar messages.
Do share your similar experiences.  |
Yes, i encountered similar scams too.
Got to know this gal online and of similar industry, and mentioned she works in her uncle movie production and investment company. Currently, trying to "launch" (出品） the new movie 测谎人 and her uncle allows her to invest....blah blah blah. project return 3-5 times...
So she asked if I am keen to take up a share. and similarly with legal contract etc..
A few caveats
:
- if she working in her uncle company, why would her uncle company *uncle and shareholders* allow her to join in the individual project and split the profit takings?
- All project investment would have been nailed down right from the start and not at the point before they trying to launch it.
- even if her uncle allows her to join, why would she allow you or me (outsiders) to join and share the profits? I hate to be sarcastic, but would you or anyone be so generous to even close friends/family, let alone people you have not met?
- esp in china, if they can spot a good opportunity that promise a good return, they will think of all ways to get the money in order to maximise their returns, why would they split with a stranger...
Anyway in short, when something is too good to be true, then its.....
