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!!!

Our company received an inquiry on our general fax in the common area of the head office to
"discuss the sale of your company to a large private equity fund..."

I did a reverse look up of the number and the name of the company listed to be the "Canadian-American Equity Group". The Company does not exist. The number is associated to the Mont Blanc Merger Associates who run by a number of other company names and phone numbers.

The complaints on the blogs are numerous.

My conclusion is this is scam

I received this fax and followed up with a phone call from the "Chairman" or some such nonsense.  His name was Harvery Marcus.This is an absolute scam.  The trick is to get you to purchase (for around $20K) their services to prepare you for the 'sale'.  Note, there is no history of this company ever making a sale and the 'buyer' is connected to them.I would suggest everyone call them and ask them how they feel about being scam artists....:)

Also in Spain

Just received the fax today, as usual WSI, digning Lionell Cartier and the usual things, about buying the company, multi-hundred million dollar buyer...

They got France 2. And could be part of a much bigger attempt as we have been victimslike many other french companies having affiliates abroad of identity usurpation. Beware. they are Phishin information and one day ?they get the one to wire money offshore;Also Signed by Lionell  Cartier .

We also received several faxes from Wall Street International Mergers & Acquisitions.There is definetly something wrong with the whole thing.

Second day in a row that we received the same fax but with a different "Senior Vice President"; Ian O'Brian.  

If you want to sell your company, talk to a good accountant preferrably one that has some experience with your business.  Don't fall victim to these scam sharks.

Did anyone call the "to be removed" number at the bottom?  Probably a bad idea.
