And even worse..

Part of what he sent me under the guise (and website) of a legit US Company.

Dig that crazy use of language, baby..!

"This kind of task is nothing of a regular basis as we will be opening a business
account for Aquaterra in NatWest which should be ready within a month. Before
that and with this payment I urge you to not indicate any business with this
project, as the payment should be completely tax liable which it's not. Treat
it as a donation, which is not subject to tax. With business account ready we
will avoid such inconvenience, however at this point not indicating any business
is crucial to not harm our starting business in any way".
