This man poses as the CEO of CitiGroup's office in Madrid. He pretends to be a person of high wealth who represents a wide array of international investors. He will bombard you with data and names of people and deals he has worked with. They are all false.
His scam is that he says he can easily raise whatever amount you need, but he charges a fee that must be paid in advance.in my case the fee was 22,000 Euros to raise $3 million. This is the oldest trick in the book. He insisted that the fee would be fully refundable if anything went wrong with the deal. I told him that any transaction would be handled in an escrow account to which he said he didn't trust escrow companies and would not do that.
I checked with CitiGroup security and they have no one by this name as part of their company. They are pursuing him.
This person appears liberally on various social networks using the name of Johann Konigshofer. He will call you persistently on Skype and attempts to be very persuasive.
