VIRUS ALERT!! We got a FAX with this phone number on it, that say they're from WALL STREET INTERNATIONAL. The fax was specifically targeted to our company and my boss, asking if you would be 'receptive to having your story told on Fox Business News or Bloomberg TV', at our company.

I tried to check it out, Googling 'Wall Street International', and immediately our virus checker went crazy with all the stuff that was coming at my computer!! There were worms and trojans and spyware galore! It took 2 days to get rid of it all--STAY AWAY, is my advice!!!

Their new name is now Wall Street Global and their scam appears unchanged. They write "about a large multi-hundred million dollar buyer interested in opening up immediate negotiations to buy all of part of [insert random company name here]". They ask us to call (613) 236-4790 and it is signed by Lionell Cartier, Senior Vice President. A silly yet annoying scam. I suggest not making any attempt at contacting them or clicking on any link mentioned.

And in Switzerland two hours ago...

So far there are 4 different companies we get faxes from. They are as follows:

Ontario Capital  - Global  Financial Serivces
Toronto Equity Advisors - Worldwide Financial Serivces
Wall Street Global - North America's Leading Middle-market Investment Bank
Wall Street Global - (different letter head than above and different Senior Vice President)

Your to call nubmer +1 877-342-4169 to remove your fax number from their list (same number on all 4 letters) .....I've called that number over a dozen times!!!  It is so bogas.  We get 1 fax a day from one of these companies!!! Thank goodness I'm on a anxiety medication, or I believe this would put me over the edge. (jk)

we got a similar fax as well. I don't know what kind of a scam this is, but it sure as hell smells like one.

Glad to see people still have common sense.  I thought of having some fun with these guys, then I saw this posting, and really got a laugh.  The fax that we received was addressed to our Chairman, who is in the UK, and had our old address listed on the header.  Indeed, it's mind boggling to see someone list a Toronto mailing address with an Ottawa number.  I'm curious as to whether or not people fall in this trap, and why the number would not be blocked alltogether, or at least have federal authorities investigating this...I almost feel like having my sales staff start cold calling them and pitching them as a real company just to annoy the heck out of them...

They have arrived in Spain today also!  It was addressed to our CFO who immediately brought it over to me not knowing what to expect... I immediately saw this was spam and was happy to find this thread with so many people experiencing the same thing.If they are sending so many faxes it means that there are people falling for it, which is pretty sad...It was sent from "Wall Street Global" and the SVP was Lionell Cartier (rich name right??) :-)
