Perhaps this isn't a "scam" per se, but I do sense a lack of experience here. If you have a legitimate opportunity, perhaps you can use the responses you received so far to develop a more effective way to present your offer to someone in the future.
The "basic data" an investor needs is not to be found in a series of forum posts -- it's in your investment proposal. If I had asked the world for five million dollars this morning and received four inquiries before lunch as you did, you'd better believe all four people would have received and read my investment proposal by now, I'd have called them all to follow-up, and I'd be on a plane at this moment to meet with at least one of them. (And if it turned out that any of them had responded just to jerk me around and were not really serious investors, I'd have determined that, too -- and they'd probably be suffering some genuine humiliation right now for wasting my time).
Hope this perspective helps. Best wishes.
