I received it in Wilmington, Delaware. I have cautiously followed up. I note that the URL does not work and is not the same as what one gets by googling. Do you have any additional information confirming this is spam?
ReplyDeleteAnd then the followup email to Delaware:
ReplyDeleteGood day to you and thank you very much for your prompt response.
We appreciate your time in reviewing our request and we will do everything
possible to ensure a smooth and hitch free business relationship. We are
ready to work with your firm to achieve our goal as the importance of your
services cannot be over emphasized. We understand the importance of
retaining your services and we will retain your firm accordingly.
We will provide you all necessary documentation and we will not relent in
providing information as they deem necessary.
There have been cases in the past of clients with delinquent payments and
we were incapacitated due to international legal boundaries to exert pressure
on such clients or commence litigation in such cases. This normally results
in very late payments from customers.
We are of the opinion that once our presence is established in your country
via a legal representative, our customers will have no option but comply with
payment deadlines to avoid legal action and litigation. We believe that a
normal scenario will require a phone call or fax from you to our delinquent
customers.
We believe that litigation should be applied as a last resort as we intend
to retain our relationship with our customers after payments are made. We
do not intend to resort to litigation unless all other options are exhausted,
but we will like the comfort of knowing that the option is available and letting
our customers know that litigation may be enforced if the option becomes
necessary.
We understand the concept of running a conflict check that is why we have
decided that all cases be treated on a case by case bases and all delinquent
accounts dealt within isolation. Based on this perspective, we are letting you
know that nine of our delinquent customers are in your state and they are all
individual own small businesses.
Find below a list of our customers that we have compiled for your conflict
check;
[Existing Delaware business with correct address]
[Existing Delaware business with correct address]
If no conflict, please present to us your retainer agreement for your services.
On the average delinquent account is estimated at $450,000.00 (Four Hundred
and Fifty Thousand Dollars ). and we have about nine delinquent customers in
your state right now. Due to the fact that litigation might not be necessary, we
assume that these cases are within your jurisdiction and regional boundaries
will not be an issue for you.
Upon receipt of your attorney/client fee agreement letter, we will have all list
of delinquent accounts available for your review on a case by case basis.
We thank you for your business as we look forward to your prompt response.
Yours truly,
Xing Ping

I received a variation of this request, purportedly from Yeong Chwen Industries. Sent bcc: and with a return email address at gmail, not their company domain.
ReplyDeleteMy firm also received the variation supposedly from Yeong Chwen Industries, also with a gmail address.
ReplyDeleteI received the following e-mail concerning Yeong Chwen on 4-5-2011:

This has 3 indicia of a scam: (1) I represent a number of Chinese and Taiwanese companies and no legitimate Chinese company will solicit legal representation from a stranger - they always get a referral and refer to your name, rather than the highly disrepectful generic "Attorney" greeting; (2) the reference to a prior attempted contact is a common ploy, apparently intended to prompt a knee-jerk quick response, and (3) the attached PDF refers to collection work, which is the typical set up for the bogus settlement check scam. I am treating it as a scam.

Attorney,
We would like to inquire if your Law firm is in the position to representus in the U.S.A; to recover money owed to us by our delinquent customers?
After a careful research, we have been able to establish that delinquent or past due accounts are settled when a reputable Law firm, represent an organization in collections or possible litigation. We are can say this authoritatively; because we have tried it in Europe and our delinquent account have been reduced to a significant extent.
Attorney kindly advise us, your law firm can represent us or not in the services that we seek; so we can provide us with more information for the review of your law firm.
An urgent attention to our inquiry will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Reynold C. M. W" President

These are all scams. I am on my way to becomming a millionaire, having collected more than $850,000 in phony cashier's checks from my alleged clients' debtors, the latest of whch was on behalf of Mr. Wu. Of course I NEVER deposit them. To string them along for awhile I them I didn't receive the first check they send me. After awhile I tell them I have been contacted by law enforcement who wants to speak to them about the fraud. That scares them off.
