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

Yup came to me through Trulia this guy or team of guys used the name "Wu Qian a Japan origin" funny enough-many misspellings and grammatical errors-dead give away just like the Nigerian Scammers wanted to buy $500k of property sight unseen...thank god for google and this site-had our broker and attorney fooled...

"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!

Got emails from a Mr. So Li, supposedly a Canadian resident wanting to buy a property in North Idaho sight unseen for 425K. Gave this phone number as his account manager Mr. Paul Jackson.  Too good to be true.....even sent bank statement with balance of $2.9mil, drivers license and social insurance card.

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