They will overnight the check and it will be for additional funds that they want to keep at the title company and have them cut the check back after closing.

This number has been associated to numerous fraud attempts to negotate counterfeit cheques. Please take precautions when dealing with persons from this number.

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.  Sounded like a total scam and I googled the phone # and it looks like I was right.  Has to be a scam... So.. beware to all Realtors.

Yup. This number was used in an attempt to buy $500k worth of real estate sight-unseen  in Metro-Detroit. Don't waste your time!

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