Asalamualaykum,

I was recently approached by a stranger asking me for help.

His PM to me was as follows:


My name is -Censored-. I'm working and living and I'm trying to find experts for my work.

I'm producing analyses and expertises for big companies. For example risk management analyses for companies which want to expand their firms in Saudi Arabia or other countries in the Middle East.

Therefore I'm looking for experts, who can deliver me the important parts for my analyses on a free lanced basis.

This experts should live in Saudi Arabia or Egypt, but must not. They should have a deep knowledge about politics, economy and security policy.

Hopefully you can help me to find such an expert.

I*m very glad hearing from you.

Best Regards,

-Censored-


This was a bit worrying to me. I was hoping it was some kind of hoax InshaAllahShaheed or AbuUsama were playing on me. But this man has kind of convinced me he is serious.

(Now I am not the kind of person he is looking for. Being a good Muslim I decided to help him by putting this message up for him, so that he can see what reaction he will get.)

The moderators (AbuZ Zubair, Umm Ahmed, Brother_Mujahid, Magoo) have been sent a message about this thread with the name of this person. I am not putting up the name of this person lest some ignorant member does something foolish. However if anyone here has received this message as well, please post here. Hopefully the Mods will take care of this recruiting business.

Allah Hafiz

Erm... *confused*?

A bit weird, yes... but dangerous?

The grammar is horrible, I don't think this is some legitimate job recruitment. There are many neocon bloggers that work to bait Muslims into incriminating themselves, and this may have something to do with that. I'll look into it, insha'Allah. If others have been contacted in a similar manner, please let me know.

I got a PM from him about two months ago, but I just ignored it.

It said the same thing.

My name is ***** ****. I'm working and living and I'm trying to find experts for my work.

By the way C47, did his first name start with a "d" and end with an "r"? Just checking if he used the same name.

do not email him whatever you do, you IP address is embedded in all outgoing emails (even from web-based services) and it will reveal your exact location, your ISP account and thereby reveal who you are (or who your parents are if they pay the internet bill).

do NOT email him unless you have a proxy or spoof IP, even then don't do it.

I noticed the grammer too. He is in Austria right now, so I guessed Europeans have bad english anyway.

Nu7, its Dietmar Reiser indeed, as MustafaAlMuhajir pointed out.

he gave me his phone number and email address and asked me for my phone number so that we could dicuss this in person

I have messaged him about this thread, I hope he shows up here and explains himself.

He also said to me:


Hi

I have a question, is it also possible that you will procure me with Dr. Al Masari?

Best Regards from Austria,

Dietmar Reiser


After I told him, Im of no use to him.

true. make no attempt to establish contact. he has asked me numerous times for my phone number. i just wish he could "explain their co-operation's work" through the PM.

Update:

"Reiser has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her."

I think the mods did this. Now how should I inform him of this thread?

Can the mods please message him about this and ask him to show up here.

To tell the truth, between all us members of these forums we know waay more about islam, groups, schisms, personalities etc then any western intelligence agency. Thats one reason we should hold back on some information regarding these issues coz we dont want them to get too clued up now do we :)

C47, he has been banned, hence why you cannot PM him.

I really do not get the knee jerk reaction of brothers here. There has to be a proof to suspect. That's first.

Second, I do not think we should vent our fears and suspicions in public. Man up and fear only the Creator, ikhwaani.
