The BBC had a report on someone that got contacted by one of the "I am a Prince" e-mail scams. The mark contacted authorities, who asked him to go undercover, and let this con go for a while. It came to an end when a meeting was set at a hotel. Authorities raided the room before the meeting, finding guns and restraints. Turns out, the long term plan had been to kidnap and ransom the mark.
These guys you're talking about have definitely oversold themselves, an immediate red flag. Even if they're who they say they are, this reeks of folly.
