Are you sure his not even a scammer who trying to get new scope from co scammers like himself?
Just my wild thoughts and nothing is impossible  now especially  on the internet, hence we ought to be careful while dealing with  people on the forum  irrespective of your age or rank or even status.
But on the second thought, if his claims are actually genuine, then I agree that 99.9% of emails he might recieve within  this period of time will all be scam and if not careful,  there are alot of pleasing temptations this criminals offer, one might fall victim and might get scam of some reasonable amount of money that you'll  never imagine you could lose to scam.

We all have to be very careful with our dealings with cryptocurrencies and if there is anything you'll  want to learn, I think the forum is a great tool to aid it,  provided you make out time for it and YouTube videos are both enough to see you through,  without wanting to have a physical mentor .
