Business Proposal
Please find below an interesting conversation I have been having with some guy(?) over a number of days from Japan, regarding a business venture. It
is in reverse chronological order. Strangely I have not heard from him since... if anyone else wishes to take him up on his offer I have left his
email address intact!!!
Dear Mike,
No problems with my prompt reply as I look forward to doing business with you.
I understand fully the problems with International money transfers as my company does them all of the time. We are one of the largest automotive
exporters in the world. I understand the problems with financial fraud only too well... fortunately my company has some of the highest qualified
lawyers on retention for the purpose of eliminating this kind of fraudulent activity.
Before we progress any further I would insist that you give me details of your registered address and guarantors for any transactions which may
develop as my company will need to run a validity check on your company to autheticate your business. As I have explained in my previous email - my
company are a Japanese company so we may be able to cut out some of the red tape as you stated your business is based in Tokyo, mine is in Nagoya.
The largest amount I am willing to take is £1000, which must be paid by business cheque to me personally. I will not accept a business transfer
without my lawyers running a validity check on your company.
Regarding my details - you were the first to contact me. Therefore, I insist on you revealing to me your details for my lawyers to validate your
company and run any credit checks before we progress.
I look forward to receiving your positive reply...
Many thanks
Steve

Japan now?
I've had a few of these offers to launder money for a 10% commission. It might work till one of their customers tells the authorities they have
been scammed and who they paid the money to, namely you, the account holder.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Its not money landering.
I got one idiot trying it on me.
Ignored it of course, but if i did cash the cheque though, it would bounce, only after you have sent the money on.
You will now be 1000`s poorer.
Gits!
And don`t reply as you will get a load of phising e-mails.

I did reply as I was going to lead him on for quite a while - before I dropped him in it with our lawyers. I wasn't kidding.
Shame really as I now no longer receive emails from him. Strange as he said he was in Japan yet had a Romania (?) email ISP.
Still, I bet it's not the last I receive!
