I have this very persistent "company" of sorts claiming they have a "family office" that wants to invest in Depfu. They contacted me with, I think, two different persons (personas?) with wildly different email addresses, which look scammy and don't have any websites attached. I don't even have a company name to research their credibility.
So I'm assuming it's a scam, but what kind? Is the family office a "Nigerian Price's" family?
(Sorry to Nigerians. I'm afraid it's a bit of a generic term)
