I have included some random emails for clarification purposes. I want readers to spread the word. Please beware of this company and similar ones that you receive emails from, which you did not request or invite. Recently, I have been receiving emails from different companies that have the same or similar requests from their "representatives". Please read on.

About two months ago I received an email from a company Benxi Steel Corporation. They were looking for US representatives to collect debts on their behalf. The collector would keep 10% of the bad debts they collected. I replied to this company and this is the response I received.

The email reads as follows:

Benxi Steel Company
