Email #1, from Cameron (scam-baiter):

Dear Herman,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Cameron McCaffrey, and I am reaching out to you as per the recommendation of Bernard regarding the KYC process.

I am very eager to move forward with the KYC and ensure that all the necessary documentation is prepared and submitted accurately. To facilitate this process, could you please provide me with a detailed list of the documents and information required? This will allow me to gather everything efficiently and ensure that I meet all the necessary criteria.

Additionally, it would be great if we could schedule a call to discuss the KYC requirements in detail. I am based in the United States, so please let me know your availability and we can find a suitable time for us to connect. I believe that direct communication will help speed up the process and ensure that all my questions are addressed.

Once I have gathered all the required documents and information, I will copy Bernard on our next email to keep him informed of our progress.

Thank you for your assistance and cooperation. I look forward to working with you and completing the KYC process successfully.

Best regards,

Cameron McCaffrey

Email #2, from Herman:

Dear Cameron,

Thanks for reaching out and your interest in participating in the Private Placement Program (PPP).
I am attaching two KYC templates which I believe Bernard has submitted to you also.
From those two attached templates, please select only one that refers to you as an Individual or as a Company to invest.

If you are the Signatory of the Company who will invest, then please use Corporate version.
If you invest under your own name as an Individual, please select the Individual template.

I recommend the KYC is dated on Monday, because the validity of KYC only lasts very quickly in 3 days only. That way, if you submit the KYC dated Friday, we are going to lose weekend days.

The KYC template has its self explanatory page by page, which I will describe to you page by page below.
All pages must be signed and initials in wet blue ink, no electronic signatures.
Let me go over the Individual KYC template as below:
