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...

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

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.

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

Just came across this thread.  A few years ago (March/April 2010) I received a similar email from a "Wu Gregoery" wanting to buy a $100,000,000 condo from me sight unseen.  It sounded fishy from the start but  I told them (standard procedure) they'd have to send a contract deposit for $10,000 (10% of the purchase price) to lock in the property.  After some back and forth emails, they soon sent me a (fake) check from AXA Insurance (CANADA) for $96,000!  "Mr. Green Sound" was the alleged account manager.  The explanation for the BIG $86,000 difference was (and here's the best part) the that they wanted me to purchase for them:"Chinese home style furniture, Chinese style home entertainment, Chinese home decoration and Chinese kitchen appliance in Japan that I will be bringing to this property I love my tradition and I want my home to look like little China Mansion."Cracks me up every time I re-read the emails!

Thank you SO much for posting this!  So how did you find out that this deal was fraudulent.. did the check not clear?  I have a client right now in Kona, Hawaii, same situation with Mr. Green Sound as the stock broker, and a $150,000 check on a $550k house in cash - interestingly, he made it out to the wrong escrow company and had to be re-cut, but it's being sent now.. why would they tie up their money in escrow like that?  They sent more than was required on the contract, so I'm going to try and call the full amount forward and see what happens.. thanks again for posting!  Blessings from Hawaii anyway!  *:D
