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.

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!

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.

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

Sigh...

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 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.
