Wow… The chance of a lifetime just fell into my LinkedIn inbox. (sarcasm)
On a serious note, anytime I get one of these scam messages, I just feel sad for the vulnerable people that fall for these. On a less serious note, I’m starting up a fund to support the victims of these scams. Please send me $100 in Amazon gift cards and your social security number if you want to support it.
Hello Jake, you have not been responding. I have a business proposal for you. I want to bring to your notice that I have worked in the gold mining sector for more than 30 years. Over these years, I have had local mining contracts across 5 countries, namely: Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Kazakhstan and New Zealand. I also worked with Keneoli Gold Mining under Glory Mining Ltd in Ghana West Africa. Am currently working with a gold company in New Zealand and my contract will expire by next year. I privately bought about 140 KG of gold from some local miners here at a cheaper price. I don’t want my company to know I own this gold because contractors are prohibited from buying gold from local miners.
So I want to present you as my partner who bought and owns the gold. All legal documentation will be in your name, then the company would ship the gold to your provided address. After you receive it then I can come over to pick it up. I’m willing to give you 20% of the total 140KG of gold. All I want from you is honesty and transparency.
If you’re okay with the proposal, then I will inform the Gold Company and introduce you to them as my partner so they can prepare all documentation in your name before shipment. All this can be done within 8-10 working days.
NOTE: This is 100% legal business. I bought the gold with my money. Am only doing it this way because as a contractor with the company I’m not permitted to buy gold from the local miners. The 140KG of gold is worth more than 7 Million USD if we sell 1KG for 50,000USD. This is unrefined 23 Karat gold with 99% purity.
If you need any further clarification, kindly let me know.
I await your response and readiness to enable us start the process immediately.
