Here is the intro letter I got from this guy.....

I have received your mail, first i must thank you for your interest in this endeavour but before we commence it will be better you know more about this as you have indicated,I seek a payment agent in your province due to that language barier i find problem dealing directly with my costomers so to this end i seek the assitance of individuals or a group to assist me.

My company was established in 2001 i export raw materials such as on-metallic minerals such as Calcite, Barytes,Manganese Dioxide , Dolomite Mica China Clay ,Mangnese Dioxide ,Ferrous (Iron ) Oxide . The various industries we cater to are Paints, Rubber, Plastics, Construction chemicals.My sales varies from different sizes I will also like to note here that acting as my payment agent in your country in other words,you will be collecting payment from costomers i supply raw materials to.By doing this on my behalf you will be paid 5% of very amount that you collect.

This is how it goes when ever there is a payment to be made by any of them my costomers you will be sent cash which you later send to me with the account i shall provide you. But payment can also come in check or money order which will be written in your name and in the case of check you will have to deposit in your account for the check to clear.

I hope to have informed you correctly and wait to hear from you soon so i can advice you on the very next step to take in this endeavour. Please do send me a copy of your driver's licences(scanned), full name, address and direct phone number to allow company have details about representative.

Faithfully Yours,

Mr. Xcheng Yang,
Vice President
XCHANG GRAND IMPORT AND EXPORT GOODS COMPANY

JAPAN.

=========================================

I looked up the company address

it turns out to be some sort of COLLEGE

not a big company that does exports

Now the scam starts to come out.


I would suppose they want me to cash some fake checks

and send them the money.

I don't know how this would work at all.

Anyone got any ideas about this.?

Mr. Billion,

This is a classic check scam. They will send you checks or money orders which you will deposit into your account, and then wire them the money (minus your commission, of course). However, several weeks or months later, your bank will discover that these checks were counterfiet, and they will come back to you for all of the money!

Yup there's even been cases where the bank has taken the victim of the scam to court to retreive the money.

Thank you Thank you Thank you. I received a message on myspace a day or so ago from this same company. It's a good thing I did a google search on the company name. I will NOT get involved in this scam now, thanks to you folks.
