So I’ve been posting on craigslist for private money lenders just to see if I get any response for it, and boy have I gotten responses…too bad they are way too far fetched.
First, I had an Arab guy from Saudi Arabia that I corresponded with through email. He gave me some name of his company and said that he couldn’t invest anymore than $10MM USD, so to let him know if that will cover what I need and then said we could meet in London (!) to sign papers and transfer the funds to my account. Right… :rolleyes
Then today, I see this 12 digit phone number on my caller ID, so I answer and it’s some guy from Holland who says he saw my ad and would like to invest. He didn’t speak English too well so he gives me his broker who asks how much I need and what I have for collateral. I told him the amount depends and I would place a mortgage lein on the property for collateral, and he says ‘Well you have our number, so just call us when you need funds.’
Our these guys nuts?? I was born at night but not last night…
Sheeeesh…
