I hope so, I've already sent him my passport and my bank data.

Nice to get a chance to follow someone as successful as Eolake in a real business situation. Learn from the masters, as they say.

Thank you very much.
This is a very promising one. The guy has now asked me for more money, to bribe officials in his country, but the profit in the end should be great.

Eolake, in my experience, this is probably a scam - they come from Nigeria by the groves.
Identity theft and/or they get your money and perhaps bank account info. They prey on the trusting unsuspecting and the anticipated windfall that never comes. I suggest you ask for HIS passport and id and do a google search on him. I am anonymous because I never signed up on a blog before but I am the doctor who wrote you about "Purchase of a photograph for advertising". Thanks for the lead to find what I am looking for. Tom

I am generally very trusty (I am member of couchsurfing.com and that is the proof - it is really cool, by the way)...but I have seen the Nigerian scam too many times.
My advice: (assuming you want one) transfer your funds to a new account and just leave an amount you would not mind loosing in a night at the casino!
Bribes and banking opportunities are not even that common in Argentina!!.

Don't worry, Ale, I didn't really do it.

I have a better opportunity for you: Stop paying taxes. In fact, if you don't do that and continue to pay taxes as before, you are committing a criminal offence.

It's all explained in the following video from a recent press conference. [Note: This is not sarcasm.]

It's a good thing dicks like ttl weren't around in WWII, he would have had not just the krauts answering for war crimes. You think with the destruction of all that property that no civilians were harmed? But you would have been grateful to have your worthless ass saved.
