Description
An agent contacted me to assist a person I met online who stood to inherit $39M USD in gold. I was targeted to act as a "beneficiary." When I stated that I could not afford that, the agent said he would lend some of his personal funds to me and in turn ask to be compensated at "a reasonable percentage of the inheritance funds."
