Hello everyone. As most of you know i was looking for funding for a project $20,000 to be exact. I was contacted by a private investor by the name of sir charles elmore from the uk. Well i dont know much about him but hes says he's interested in funding me the money for the project. We been going back & fourth for about a week or 2 about the project and everything. So he got an written agreement and everything and sent it to me in a attachment. I read through it for a while but i wanted to take it to an attorney to make sure everythings ok. But anyway he said the if he funds me he will have 35% ownership of the project for 2 years. The agreement is also asking me to put in some personal info that im not comfortable giving away to someone i never met. He also written all the legal stuff that i barely understand which is why im going to take it to an attorney just to be safe. So from what i told you so far which do you think i should do? Put yourself in my situation. Also do you think 35% onwership is a good deal? I will take all the help i need.

Thank you everyone for taking the time out to help.

well im thinking i should just avoid the deal. it doesnt sound legit. I asked him what website he found me on and he just keep saying " i was surfing the net and came across your request for funding" even though im in need of funding i think im going to avoid the deal.

Ah yes, Sir Charles. I'm quite familiar with the guy. He's very reputable, last year he emailed me and I helped him transfer $23 million dollars out of Zambia (his uncle was the recently deposed dictator)... all he needed was my social security card, bank account numbers, date of birth, and credit card numbers. Boy was I lucky he randomly contacted me and trusted me with his family's fortune.

Hes trying to scam you! Noboddy is actually going to fund you without sitting down face to face.
