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!!!

We have received faxes from: Wall Street Global (a real firm, apparently), Mergers & Acquisitions Department, and Partner Finders USA. All letters are similar in that they bear a person?s name, and the company name. Both names are repeated at least 3 times within the body of each letter; this makes them seem more personal.You might ask: how could they know a person?s name, if they are not legitimate? In our firm?s case, we can be located via www.corporationwiki.com. Many names are associated with the record for our business. The site provides phone numbers, and a link to our website. There are probably many other, similar sites available to scammers. I located ?corporationwiki? by Googling our business name, and the individual to whom the scam letter was directed. All of this information is free. It can?t be very hard for these pimply-faced scammers to then contact us, innocently asking for a fax number. Then the fun begins. Of course, they can probably get a fax number from some other ?free site,? too. It is fruitless to attempt to out-scam these people. Remember, they have a game plan that has already been well thought out. If given the chance, they will simply draw you into their game. Read this about a different, but similar incident in the November 2011 issue of The Atlantic, entitled ?Hacked!? by James Fallows: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/11/hacked/8673/. Consider this: the only truly worthwhile solicitation is the one that you have initiated.
