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!!!

Fax received from Toronto Equity Advisors, an Ian O'Brian. It was addressed to my wife, however used "Mr." in salutation.  We just happen to have three businesses and 237 acres of real estate for sale here in Virginia, so I called them and I believe that they are a "scam". (our business is www.historicjordansprings.com)  It is 11:07 p.m. and I just called them and they wanted me to identify them and their contact.  I am 63 years old and consider myself to have "been around the cup" a few times in life, but this one was a new one on me. The real "tip off" is the incorrect corporate name for us, their poor choice of wife OR husband and a "bad signature".  Also, I have dealt with numerous businesses in the Canada and Europe and they have always been very professional and the Toronto Equity Advisors fax and business letterhead is quite unprofessional (I always like to look into real or non-real situations when it comes to business, because there are many cultures crossing lines and dealing with other business cultures that are valid.)

I am pleased that there are many other "non believers". I get about 300 business emails a day and many letters and usually only about 7% are scams. In the body of the letter they state my wife's name as if they are "good buddys" of her (although they assume that she is a him.) Also if they ask a question, they should end the sentence with a question mark. The list goes on - but I believe that you got the point.

I look into these things at the end of the day as that is where they usually belong, unless they have value and in that case - they are on the beginning of my next day list.

Good luck to all of you who have come before me.

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.

Well, it looks like things are going good for the Cross-Borders Advisors. They have a new SVP, Peter Edwards. They now have an office in Chicago using the name, Chicago Capital Corporation William LieBowitz, SVP.The faxes we received has the same phone number (403) 441-6802 to contact them to find out about our "buyer"

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??) :-)

I got a new fax from (613) 236-4790
Cross-Borders Advisors, Toronto, Ontario M5R 2A5, Harlan Tunnelston
They have a buyer for our company with $500 Million dollars. They want to conference call with their chairman.

This is a scam. Be very cautious.

still receiving daily faxes (sometimes even 2 or 3) here in austria. Only, about 1 month ago they added "PS: - Haven't heard from you yet" (they never will even though I wish I could give them a piece of my mind).  it's always richard solera, wall street globel phone 0001 954 586 1000. are they going to waste our paper and toner for the next decade to come?
