The Scammer found my company\'s profile on www.gust.com and engaged me as an interested investor.
Positioned himself as a wealthy Saudi banker who wants to make investments in technology. Due to the social and political climate in the middle east, he wants to keep the business transaction very discrete. The exchange eventually worked to a stage where his agent, Mr. Sleiman Jihad; sulaiman.jihad@live.com, sent me a term sheet for their investment. As part of the transaction, I would need to secure a Saudi Arabian certificate of incopreration and operational license. Mr Sleiman Jihad would set this up and manage the transfer of funds from Suadi Arabia to my account. For his services, Mr Sleiman Jihad would require a $20K consulting fee to be paid within 24 hours after my bank receives the transfer.

The following is the original email
