I had an awful experience with this man Matthew Smith aka " Matthew Smith BNP PARIBAS" who has stolen money from me. Avoid this SCAMSTER and THIEF !

Avoid doing business with financial consultant /analyst Matthew Smith and his company Matthew John Smith LTD are located in London United Kingdom.
I was going to hire Matthew Smith for my company. My (now former) personal assistant put me in touch with Smith and set up a meeting at a cafe in London. I arrive on time for our meeting at noon and Smith is nowhere to be seen. I wait for twenty minutes and I finally get a text message from him apologizing that he's on the way and will be there soon.
Ten more minutes go by. Then fifteen. I call Smith and it goes straight to voicemail. Finally, Matthew Smith arrives for our meeting looking very disheveled and slurring his words in an apology.
His eyes were bloodshot and he looked very unkempt in a dirty wrinkled shirt. I quickly pick up the smell of alcohol. It's not even 1pm and Matthew Smith is drunk! I told him how I will not engage in a business interaction with someone who is clearly an alcoholic.
And hour late is one thing, but to arrive intoxicated?! Matthew becomes incredibly hostile and yells at me to go F@#$ myself as I walk outside. I never in my life have been victim to such appalling behavior from a professional.
I quickly came back to my office to speak with my partner and my PA. It turns out that my now former PA did not researchMatthew Smith at all. If you Google his name, you can see reports of alcoholism, abuse of women and even solicitation of prostitutes! Thankfully all myself and my company suffered was time and some money wasted.
Do NOT waste your time even considering to hire Matthew Smith or anyone affiliated with Matthew John Smith LTD .Highly unprofessional and appalling!
