If you actually hear out my business plans, you will realize that I am the real deal. I'm not about to post it in public where anyone will see it, but I will welcome private dialogue with serious investors who are serious about starting a new trend in the adult industry and making lots of money.

As all of you are aware, it takes money to make money, and if you want to make it big, you have to invest big. Finding money for this kind of project is not easy. I am familiar with traditional fund-raising methods, and I even personally know people with money to invest, but NOT the kind of people who would invest in adult businesses. Same with banks and mainstream investment groups; they don't want to touch anything adult. So I have to go outside the norm and do things like post in internet forums and make cold calls.

That's also why I am eager to get introductions to prominent people in the adult business. If you don't have the money (which most of you probably won't), I still will welcome hearing from you, if you can get me in contact with influential people in the adult industry who do have such funds. I'm not trying to get somebody to just blindly write me a check or wire me money sight unseen or anything shady like that. And anyone who wants to do that will definitely not make a good investor or business partner anyway.

One of you mentioned MANWIN. I am familiar with that company, but I'm not worried about competing with them. Actually, if anything, they will complement my business. Same with major porn companies like Vivid, I'm sure they will be very interested to hear my ideas, if only I can get in front of their executives to make an investment pitch. But I am not connected with people in those companies. If you CAN get me in touch with influential people in the business, then please send me an email. As I mentioned before, I will be happy to arrange for a commission to anyone who can make that kind of introduction for me.

Now does that sound like a scam to you guys?
