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.

Same game, different names. Now it's "Wang Tao" and the number is for his attorney, Edward Brown.Sigh...

I am in Hawaii too and no one buys real estate like this.  They contacted me a few days ago.  They are not tying up money because you will probqably find that the check is not good.  Please update when you have more info,  I plan to ignore this person who wants to send me a check for property sight unseen who knows much more about how we work than even an above average buyer.  It smells like a big scam.

Same story..same ol' Mr Jackson.  Only this time the "buyer's" name is Otake "something or other".  Trying to buy a $550k Soth Carolina property site unseen.  My understanding is that the attempt is to eventually have the "mark" mail back the difference in one of his overwritten checks.  Don't waste your time.  Just report to www.IC3.gov.

Same story...too good to be true; gotta love google!

Guess what?  This Jackson character and his "Buyer Partner:, Iwao, have trid me in Seattle too.Same story: send him copies of listings and picks one out in minutes, and offers buyfull price-----well, youknow the rest  Jackson's checks are like a three dollar bill.  Beware!!I am a Realtor, too, you've guessed.
