That is still the "bait" - they can say anything they want at this point because they (and you) are still in "bait" mode. It isn't until you've bitten on the bait that the scam will unfold. My prediction is one of three things will happen: 1) Once you are well hooked, they will need some money to cover some sort of fees involved in releasing the stocks. When you pay the fees, they disappear. 2) They will give you some really pretty "stock certificates" that look really official, collect their fees, and disappear before you figure out the pretty paper is a forgery. 3) A variant of the "Secret Shopper" scam where they give you a (forged) cashier's check, collect their "finders fee" (in your real money), and disappear before the bank notifies you that the cashier's check is a forgery.
