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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
