Can anyone help me?

I have been approached by a friend, here in the states, who wants me to invest with him on a couple of property development deals. We have been close for a number of years and always had reasonable results on our previous investments, however this one I am not comfortable with, but he is really keen and I don't want to let him down.

The names of the people he is dealing with are Paul Davidson, based in London and Mohammed Ali Mohammed who is in Dubai. Mohammed did use Dr Omar Bin Sulamain at the start of the deal. Email addresses are [mrpaul_davidson@consultant.com] [sulaiman.omar@gmail.com] [sulaiman.omar@yahoo.com] [sulaiman.omar2009@googlemail.com]

They are looking for investment of $3.5 million to release $70 million for property development in South America and Canada with investors getting 100% interest paid on their investment. They won't with us before a substantial payment has been paid into a bank in England.

Has anyone else dealt with these people? Are they legitimate?

Please let me me know.

Thanks

Seb

Money to release funds? Sounds like advanced fee fraud to me but it's hard to say without some emails to look at. All of the emails are to free emails servers which is suggestive of something not on the up and up.

Thanks for the reply. Well I kinda guessed it was a scam from doing some basic internet searches but I wanted to be sure as my friend was just seeing $$$$$ signs and would not listen to me without proof.

Since my post yesterday I have got lots of information regarding these people which has helped me stop my friend investing.

Now what I want to know is how can these people get away with these scams? Davidson appears to be based in the London and only uses UK banks to have the money transferred into. Why is this? I thought they were all being looked at what with the meltdown that happened? Would he have people on the inside?

I have lots of time on my hands and am considering trying to expose these people and their tactics to help others.

Contact an admin, like Miyuki because she loves questions like yours.

Thanks Kat I will do.

I realise that some things may be obvious like using banks in the UK and being based in the UK but why does the majority of scam money appear to move through the UK?

Because there's a boatload of Nigerians in the U.K. and they take the scamming habit with them. Wherever they go, there's scamming.

Good morning

I have now seen emails from Paul Davidson and the man who said he was Doctor Omar Bin Sulaiman going back to 2007....... Obviously a lucrative career.

They made the first approach using the DIFC as cover but the recipient didn't take much notice of the disposable email addresses.........

I have attached a couple of emails with the persons details hidden to save them any embarrassment. Two examples of the emails giving the bank account details for Halifax and Lloyds neither of which are in the names of any of the people in contact with the poor scammed person. I have again covered as much detail as possible to keep the account holders details secret in case they were innocent.

Another name has come to light Ibrahim Ibn Saad, who poses as the brother of Mohammed Aziz Mohammed who himself posed as Doctor Omar Bin Sulaiman..... confuses the hell out of me.

If anyone else has any information on these people please post so i can pick it up.

thanks
