The naivety of some people is just scary.

If you are being approached always be on your guard.

An 'investor' (I use the word lightly here ;) ) that wants to pressure you to do a deal is afraid you'll wise up, find something or that you'll back out. So, help them a bit and back out. On the spot.

A good relationship can be built slowly if there appears to be time pressure you will likely make a decision that's not to your advantage. Good decisions are made from a position of strength. Time pressure erodes that strength.



In general, it's solid advice to always refuse solicitors and not make decisions under time pressure.
