Over e-mail communication I am trying to buy small investment of shares. This company will be going public soon but I am being offered to buy private shares.
I am not 100% aware of the process that is supposed to be done. Although the man I am speaking with says that his boss will not allow me to buy this small amount of shares so he told me that he will sell me a small amount of his shares.
He now tells me to send him a check with $ value of the shares, with it a note with my name, SS # , address , phone, and email address.
I am a bit scared to do this because he might just take my check and never give me my shares.
I was thinking there has to be paperwork involved in this no matter how many shares I want to buy? Correct?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thank you!
