We are sure you are all seasoned-enough operators not to have believed it, but it seems that a spammer/scammer has been sending emails to some members in the name of Basil Demeroutis, Capricorn Investment Group, with the typical story about passing millions of dollars through their accounts. Of course, this email is entirely false and you should not reply.
Mr Demeroutis does indeed exist, and works at the company named, although it is of course not him who is sending the emails, and they do not come from his company. It is simply someone masquerading as him. We have contacted him to warn him of the fact that his name is being used in this way.

Comment: CAPRICORN INVESTMENT GROUP 23 Battersea Church Rd, London SW11 3LY. Dear Sir, My name is Mr. Basil Demeroutis, I write to you based on a request by an investor for funding/investment in your country. My company most times represents the interests of very wealthy investors. Due to the sensitivity of the position they hold in their society and the unstable investment environment of their country, they evacuate majority of their funds into more stable economies and developed nations where they can get good yield for their funds. A Reserved Client, whom I had personally worked with few years ago with a proposal, recently approached me that he wants an individual who will assist him to invest $28.2 Million US Dollars in a lucrative business for a period of 6 years for a start. Furthermore, My client want the investment to be based on 50% / 50% profit sharing after the overheads in running the business for 6 years or 20% annual return on his investment so I want you to indicate any of the option which you choose out of the 2 options. We extend hands of investment to you with the intend of making good profit for us all and all we need from you to accomplish this is your total commitment, cooperation and trust. Looking forward to hear from you soon, Best regards, MR. Basil Demeroutis Direct Tel: +447024017782 Fax Number: +448709749866 E-mail : basildeme@yahoo.co.uk
