I have a friend in China who seems to be down the rabbit hole of a PPP scam. However, I can't figure out how he's being scammed. As far as I know, he has invested nothing but his time (years) in chasing this. He tells me he's an in between man working on behalf of someone else yet he's not getting paid. He's promised a percentage once the deal closes.
Last night he shows me a document from HSBC referencing EUR930 trillion (huge red flag). He also showed pictures of pallets of cash stored in a warehouse.
I know this is all bullshit but he's convinced he's getting a payoff. The only thing I can figure is that he is putting money in and not telling me. That in my opinion would be the scam.
Has anyone else come across something like this?
