Complaint Review: Benjamin Wen Jing Wu and Masaud MJ Hayat

The guy Masaud Hayat with an address of Arraya Tower 2, Floor 31,Abdulaziz Hamad Al Saqer Street, Sharq,Capital Governorate, Kuwait contacted me by email offering to invest in my company and after a short due diligence we started the communications. We even talked on the phone once. He suggested I open up a WhatsApp account where we communicated mostly as he said he travels quite a bit.  I sent him a copy of my Business Plan and terms and he said he was going to invest $10M dollars. 

He then introduced me to Benjamin Wen Jing Wu in Hong Kong who he said manages his investment funds in Singapore where the funds will be coming from. While supposedly Benjamin is licensed in Hong Kong he is also licensed in Singapore. And that was how things evolved. It started in April 2019  when I received all the instructions that i needed to open an offshore company and a bank account where the funds from Masuad Hayat will be deposited to.

For this I was asked to wire a total of $215K to cover incorporation, bank deposit to open the bank account at HSBC and to pay the Singapore government for the customs duty on the investment of $10M dollars from Masaud Hayat. I was told I will be reimbursed for the customs duty that Masaud Hayat should have paid for.

He claimed at the time the customs duty was due that he was in the hospital for hip surgery. After receipt of these funds the  communications from them stopped in the first week of August 2019. I never heard from them again despite all emails and texts and shortly thereafter their phones were disconnected. And I never got the $10M investment.

I suspect now that these two men are one and the same but uses two names.
