Type of a scam Business Email Compromise

It seems like an entrepreneur is inviting you to partner in a business venture, but it’s actually a version of the classic advanced fee con.

How the Scam Works:

You get a call or email from someone claiming to represent a business. The company is looking for new partners. These investors receive 50% equity in the business, but there’s a catch. You need to pay thousands of dollars in "associated fees and costs" first.
