Hi,
I need some input on whether I should move forward with a business partnership.
The guy I'm working with, I have never met, and he is in another state. I found him, in a roundabout way, from this forum. Somebody posted a thread, linking to a thread that HE(the business partner) started...outlining his method of flipping items for profit.
So i noticed that he gave his phone # in the thread, and I called him up. Surprisingly he responded and we talked. I was only hoping to pick his brain, then he mentioned he bankrolls people (fronts the money) for deals their local area. Basically he fronts the cash, i do all the legwork, and we split the profit. I guess he does this with a bunch of people. Totally fine with me, as i need to build capital. Happy to learn and make some cash. The thread was very impressive, and I am inclined to believe he is legit, as far as successfully selling.
We talked throughout the week and last night i found a deal. He agreed it was good, and that we should pursue. He told me he would wire me the money through a moneygram service.
So here comes the main issue:
He then asked me for a copy of my drivers license. I immediately felt...red flag.
Told him i didn;t feel good about that, and he basically wouldn't budge.
I have many more details, but i wana keep this as short as possible. Any opinions? Is this shady?
