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!!!

Had the fax from Lionell here in the UK.

Complete amateur hold up in a bedroom somewhere no doubt.

Do these guys think we are stupid we know how business works and it is noit like thid.

If you get this rubbish file it .. in the bin

For fun, I called them up and asked how much they will give me for my company. They said they need more info so I told them they already had my info because they sent me a fax saying they knew all about my company. She asked what kind of company I had and I said a Janitorial Service...I clean more s**t than anyone. She asked my revenues and I said I made around $23,000 last year. She asked for my fax number so that she could take me off the list. Everyone do this exact thing and maybe they will get the idea.

Idiots... Here is the fax we received (name and company withheld):Dear XXX:This morning we were discussing XXX Company.We just don't understand why, with an opportunity to sell your company for millions of dollars, you don't at least call and find out who the buyer is and what the price is for XXX Company.Capital gains are going up.  The economy is at risk.  You have a wonderful company.  Just give us a call.  We will be happy to set a phone appointment to tell you about the buyer ad their intentions, as well as their idea on purchase price with no obligation on our part or yours at XXX Company.Please call us at (613) 236-4790.Kindest Regards,Harvey MarcusSenior Vice President

I also got it this morning.
What type of scam is this? Has anybofy followed up on this?

We've just received in Poland, Warsaw, such fax from Wall Street International Mergers&Acqusitions. Doc signed by Lionell Cartier SVP, who proposes us to help all or part of our company, but to do it we must contact him at (613) 236-4790. We are public company listed at WSE, which is noticed in fax address area.  No other contact to WSI but phone, no address, no web site. Looks to me it is a kind of a Nigerian scam.
