I am a Realtor in Louisiana, I recieved a e-mail from this Otake Iwao. I e-mailed him back and recieved other.This didn't sound right sound Goolge him and this is what I found out.  This guy is busy,maybe he get put OUT bussiness real soon.

Received the same email as above, Mr Iwao wanting to purchase property here in AZ between 400,000 - 600,000K.
Contacted me through Trulia, When something sounds too good to be true, it is.
Be careful

So glad I googled this phone number.  I received the email yesterday through Trulia.  Will warn others in the office.

"Got an email from Otake Iwao claiming to want to buy property anywhere in SC.  I sent him some listing to look at and in 5 minutes he picked one and wanted to buy it unseen and wanted a bunch of information on where his deposit would be deposited.  He had an account manager and said he wanted funds available before he arrived in 4 weeks."

I received the same email on May 27. I am a Realtor as well.

Definitely a SCAM! Watch out!

Glad I googled the phone number. It just didn't sit well and the name attached was Otake Iwao and why would he have to tell me he is of Japanese origin!! Usually if it flares my nostrils something really stinks..Thankfuly my business is doing great . I sure  don't need to go on wild goose chase.
