Absolutely not, NO; this David White as described is about as real as the Easter Bunny or the Man in the Moon.

What you've described is a classic example of what is known as advance fee fraud, i.e., the targeted victim (YOU) forward a fee for false promises that never come true.

I can assure you without a doubt that if you choose to involve yourself in

this scam, you will sorely regret it.
