Too good to be true?

I obviously have a lot on my mind today in reference to the business world. "Too good to be true"?...Have any of you received off of this website inparticular any unusual clients?

Let me elaborate...International buyer, in the US market to make very large purchase. Here comes the "too good to be true" part:

He wants me to deposit a large sum of money into his account, once that occurs then I am to be paid a very unusual amount of money for my services.

Okay I take into consideration that this individual just does not understand how to word his transaction...So, I respond that I need a purchase contract, qualifying information, and terms of financing needed. In other words a lender does not just deposit money into an alias account and then proceed with the paperwork. In summary I became quite bewildered at the persistance of this "unusual" request.

I even received unmarked phone calls to my cell phone from this "borrower". Unfortunately I could not understand most of the correspondence. It was a commercial property that I may or may not have been able to facilitate not knowing whether the "borrower" would qualify.

Readers...there is a scam going on in our industry and I have just been the bait for one "borrowers" attempt to have access to our companies escrow account which may at any given time have millions in it. See the interest in the scam?...Deposit money into an alias account of theirs...someone on the receiving end of that then has access to our wiring instructions...suddenly experts then say that the scam removes money from our accounts and is long gone.

I am not sure who would truly fall for this and see it to the end, but even after I sent out our denial letter due to insufficient information to proceed I got another correspondence that someone else would facilitate the $100,000 and the "borrower" would still be able to include me in this somehow financially...Can you say NO THANK YOU?

I read about it, hear about it, and now have my own story to tell about it.
