IT'S A FRAUD based in Canada.I call at night and a white girl answers saying "Executive Office". I'll ask for Ryan Washington and she'll say something like he's traveling out of town for the next two days. She then asks for the name of your company and a phone number.Here's when it gets fun.Give them a fake business and phone number. Then ask her how the scam works and listen to her go in a vulgar tirade.They make their money-- if someone is follish enough to believe they are legit-- before they get too deep into discussion, the scammers will ask for an upfront fee.They are crooks just like the Nigerian 419ers

I agree with the bloggers below...you just may be part of this scam, which is a shame.

Perhaps you could share some of the details of the business you sold...business name, location, sale date, etc.  Oh, and what it cost you for this deal of a lifetime.

If you say this is legit, the info you give us is part of a public record, and you should have no problem sharing it.  If you refuse, then you are a disgrace to breath life into this!

Yes, it is a scam, HOWEVER, if you would like to do the same to them for those who got the Fax Spam, their Fax number is 954-582-5090. Send them your own ads and lets spam them as well.Use a Free Fax Service like FaxZero. You get 2 Free fax a Day and can attach PDF's or JPEG's. Make a Bogus email since you need to confirm through email.Have Fun

U ARE PART OF THE SCAM. DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD HE SAYS.  BEWARE!!!!!

My favorite one yet, which I take as a compliment:"It seems that I have been unsuccessful in getting my letters and phone calls past your secretary."Well thank you, that's what I'm here for! These faxes go straight into the circular file. We are a government agency so we are not for sale. This one was signed "Michael Peterson, President" at phone number (613) 236-0076.

Anyone getting this or any other kind of scam should call or email the jack*** back and waste as much of the their time as you can. The only way to stop these people is to overwhelm them with choices. Make it so they can't tell who is real and who is playing with them. Get them to spend their money and time sending you checks or going through the motions of whatever scam they are running. Lets face it, they are not the brightest. Everyone call them (613) 236-0076
