I found an ad for a business for sale via craiglist (I have boughten other good businesses from craigslist, not all are fake and scams). He was claiming to have a website that he needed to sell off quick due to a recent job opportunity. This was supposed to be a grand once in a life-time opportunity with a mega signing bonus for a large marketing company in LA. This online business had been online for only a few months and due to a "vaguely worded" non-compete agreement, as he put it, he had to sell it.
He was very professional about everything, I talked to him on the phone for a while as well and felt comfortable about everything. We talked about the business and he knew more than enough to show me that he at least knew what he was talking about. He also talked about his career field and knew what I felt was more than enough knowledge to believe in him and his line of work. Anyways the point is that this guy was good and very believable. I was still skeptic till I found this other post for the same guy and type of web business.
After we had arranged an agreement he even sent me a contract that I had my attorney look over and change a few things and we had a done deal so I transfered the money to the account he provided for me via wells fargo. He contacted me a few times afterwards letting me know how the transfer of the site from his server to mine was going. When time came for the due date on the contract to be up he notified me that he was now working his new job that was taking up all his time and he would need a little more time. Well that has now become a month and he hasn't been responding to any of my emails or phone calls. He is very witty and knows what he is doing. Be careful. He seems to change minute letters in his name. I do have other information on this character as well if anyone would like to know.
