Guy Pearson

 

Fraud.

One out of five!

Hello,

My name is Guy Pearson, a consultant with a private consultancy firm in England. I would like to reach terms with you on investment purposes in your country. Nevertheless, I hope you do not mind if I take a few minutes of your precious time. I have a client whose intention is to partner with you/your company on investing some amount of monies in your country.

Basically, there is availability of some funds currently by the investor who has no fore knowledge of investing offshore but yearns for support to achieving his vision. The investor faced with cumbersome problem of unstable investment environment in his home country has consulted me to see how he could make proper investment with his fund hence, my writing you to partner with him to bring this to a reality as his intent is to see this project yield good returns.

However, the sector of investment could be diversely ranged in different areas, as a consultant, I'm willing to go further but for certainty and your willingness in partnering with him as an offshore partner, a deed of contract would be prepared between the parties involved, and you would be rewarded with an agreed commission according to percentage. Like I said, I am wiling to enlighten you more upon certainty of your been a willing partner.

Whatever your decision, I would appreciate your response.

Yours truly,

Guy Pearson

Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.

Mr. Miller,

If I didn't know Mr Pearson, then I would have believed this blog. I used to work for him you know. The mate is real. If you haven;t something against him doesnt mean you should put up his company on the internet blackmailing him.

Guy Pearson is probably a real person, but that e-mail was spam sent by someone claiming to be him.

I checked the e-mail. It came from a hotmail account and was sent to undisclosed-recipients.

In 99.99% of cases and juding by the contents, that is fraud.

Mr. Pearson should contact the Police because of identity fraud.
