    Mr. Yasunari Kawabata, from Japan

    Our agents have been targeted from our internal leadrouter system or e-mail.
    It starts out: I am Mr. Yasunari Kawabata a Japanese origin I need a 4 bed room single family home to buy, in a nice area in any city or town in your state and it as to be a traditional sale and its going to be a cash buy, with a garage and 2 bath with or without swimm.
    Next response is: I am interested in this property MLS # . I will like to retain the service of an attorney in this transaction to handle the financial part of this purchase and also to represent my interest. Please recommend an attorney for me I do not wish to forward my deposit to a third party before closing on the property. Because of time difference, it meant not be possible for me to reach the attorney on the telephone during business hour. I will like to ask you to contact the attorney on my behalf or send me their email address so that I can introduce myself to them regarding this transaction. Attached is my bank statement. Below is the information you need before you can write the purchasing contract.

    1) Name: Mr. Yasunari Kawabata
    117 Westmore Dr.
    Etobicoke Ontario Canada M9V3Y6

    2) Telephone: 81-03-3553-7111

    3) It is going to be cash buy on the property and I will like home inspection to be done on the property, please use a docusign format to send me the contract.

    4) Offer: list the amount and closing date

    Here are other names used more than once: Makaoto Kobayashi, Yasunari Kawabata, Kazuo Umezu

    They all have the same telephone number. Google the number. When you google the address, it was a parking lot. A japanese phone number with a Canadian address.

    I hope you can catch the scam early to not waste any of your valuable time. The money is all fake. On their proof of funds - they use different names. Hope you can catch these people from wasting out time.
