RFC: too good to be true? Shadow of Intention corporation

Hello all,

I would like get a common consensus on the workings of the society/corporation "Shadow of Intention"

Today i have been approached by the society leader: Tevekar Tevekar Vekovar and asked if i would like to join their network of "small business"

He started out the conversation pointing out to the fact he has a Masters Degree in Economics and that he runs his corporation with a few partners. He said their focus of business is on i quote "we work primarily in the field of business- buying, selling, trading, etc - along side that we also do mining, driling, hunting and security/transportation" then he threw in that they are backed by a few investors also. and apperantly one of them recently invested 800 ped

He offered me the following benefits:
Free advertising on Ingame Screens
Highly qualified hand picked advertisors for my business (paid by the corp)
and Discounts on materials...

The fact his highest pro level was 2 and that he was wearing unrepaired newbie clothes and no shoes got me suspicious... and the use of words when listing the corp activities aswell (buying selling trading ... or .... mining and drilling) ... the fact that he asked me for 25 PED as a buy in didnt help either...

So to help ease my suspicion i asked to be introduced to the investors (surely they had a reason to put thrust in this person hopefully they could share those reasons with me) maybe i already knew them aswell then i wouldnt even need to talk to them...

As a response he told me he is bound to a confidentiality agrement and he could not reveal names to people not in the network... so basically what it ment is that in order to know their names i would have to give him the buy in 25 ped...

now 25 ped is not much but i dont like it when somone tries to play me for a fool and the offer on employees sounded to good to be true... and as i have learned 4 years ago

"...If something sounds too good to be true, most probably is"

he also said in time i will receive profit for being a member ...

I asked for some proof the whole deal wasnt a scam but his explanations were very vauge and he refused to give me any names or details...

He even accused my suspicon of being a competitions spy trying to snif out his business methods He mentioned he had a few tailors an engineer hunting and mining teams and even a starting out hairdresser... whos name he refused to give me too...

he brought out an argument... this is only 25 ped .. if i would want to scam you i would have asked for 1000 ... now what kind of argument is that??

I conversed with him for a while more but as he was reluctant to give me any information that could convince me that the things he was offering were in fact true... shoertly after we said our goodbyes



So now i would like to ask the oppinion of the community if they have any about this corporation and maybe locate any of the investors or partners or joined business he mentiond in the conversation...
... if his business was legitimate i feel bad that our conversation went so bad but the image he was portraying by his persona and the way he talked brought just one vision to my mind ... Trade accepted and person dissapears... its happend before to many of us .. to me too so maybe im too cautious .. maybe im "paranoid" like he called me ...

but i always triple check what exactly it is im getting for my money ... no matter what the ammount is...

Let me know if you know or have delt with this person... or what your thoughs are on all this...

Best Regards
