My imposter approached me on LinkedIn, the first one disappeared soon after to be followed up by an aged account (which coincidentally was reported as fake to LinkedIn, yet still remains active). Both DM'd me, the first one only got a few small insignificant messages out before his account vanished.
The one on LinkedIn that has the aged account is at https:/ /www.linkedin.com/in/fazza-hamdan-ab65731a8/ and claims his email address is

How are you

Doing good, trying to beat the heat as much as possible. Working hard (I'm a workaholic) and wondering why summertime slips by so fast. I hope you are doing well? It's my time to travel to the office (I work Tuesday and Wednesday nights fairly late into the night) for the day.

Okay where do you work?
ES sent the following message at 12:17 PM
I work full time for a bank, but I also have what's left of a business that I own still active.
The majority of my work is for the bank. I've had the business for over 30 years and it's hard to extricate from it since it's so intertwined with many other businesses and functions.
Does this help answer your question?
I'm a workaholic, though just recently I'm making an attempt not to be.

That's awesome
You seem to be an interesting person I’d like to know you much better
ES sent the following message at 2:45 PM
Thank you. Seems you've done quite a bit also and are quite interesting. We'll work on this. I like learning new things, meeting new people. Since receiving last certification I've begun a Digital Forensics certification. I'll possibly take a break from certifications after this one. I need some time to read for fun lol

I have sent you a message on hangouts go look it up
Subsequently on Hangouts:
Fazza:
Hello E
This is Fazza from LinkedIn
ES:
Curious as to why you want to use Google Hangouts?
Fazza:
It’s more secured to have conversations here, there are no third parties seeing the conversation that’s why i prefer having a conversation with my contacts here
ES:
i see
Fazza:
Yes E, so tell me more about yourself
ES:
I'm not real good at talking about myself. I'm a busy professional thankful I am working in these trying times and keeping a roof over my head. What about my profile did you find interesting enough to want to converse off linkedin? Fazza is a busy man with a LOT going on! A lot that is good.
Fazza:
Thank you for the compliments E, I’m always very busy but i will always make out time to reply your messages, so you can drop me a message and be rest assured you will get a reply pretty soon
What do you think about doing charity E?
ES:
I head a non profit and sit on the advisory board of another. I believe charity work for a noble cause is collectively good and am involved in those activities.
Fazza:
That’s great and we can work together
I am into charity works and I’ve been doing charity since i was 15
ES:
which one is closest to your heart and why?
Doing charity is ver dear to me, helping the less privileged and vulnerable people makes the world a better place
You have a good profile and you’re a good person, and i will like to partner with you and empower you to do a charity work and help the less privileged people in your society
And what are your thoughts on empowering me?
I want you to send you some money to help alleviate poverty in your neighbourhood as part of our work in my charity foundation
I’d like to introduce you to the Royal House Association. You will be given a Royal Membership Card (RMC) and a Royal Diplomatic Passport (RDP) and also be added to the Royal platform as an Ambassador.
ES:
I'm interested in hearing more
Fazza:
Royal membership card gives you access to associate with the Dubai Royal Family, and it's recognised anywhere in the world, on getting the card you will be paid $10,000 weekly for your allowances, you have access to a building and a car from the Royal Home. on getting this card you will also be invited to the Royal home for installation as a Royal Ambassador and to be identified and regarded as such, you must have a referral from the royal home, it can't be acquired easily because it carries the Royal bond.
ES:
Sounds like quite the honor!
how does this happen?
