Miami Dade Real Estate Scoop

I love to hear of people getting contacted by consumers finding them on ActiveRain or Localism.  I even wrote about my first such contact last week.  I've received 2 more contacts but am not jumping for joy.  These don't seem to be genuine.  Maybe I've gotten too cynical?  Here's how one reads:

"am (name), and i will like to share some ideals with you, well am incharge of my sister's company which i need to get some ideals from people like yoou...

thanks"

The other goes like this:

"I would like you assisting me in getting a real estate firm offer, i am a colleague of (Acme Real Estate) which is a private real estate firm selling and buying houses in china and have other ventures like renting of homes and room. We have plan of investing into the US real estate BIZ where we can buy houses and sell we are chosing US because of it's today's competitive real estate market. we are also looking in assisting someone with an real estate projects by which we fund the real estate project. we are only hoping for this business form in the US and europe and if getting interest from investors .We provide conforming, non-conforming and joint venture funding.
get me your IM address for a chat i would have like to talk on phone but i dont speak english wel and i am getting to you with the help of a transaltor ,if interest you can add to your Yahoo IM at  (Acme)500@yahoo.com  of mail me at foreigninvestor@(AcmeRealEstate).com"

I checked the website and it's a point2agent site.  And it's in English.  Yes, they speak English in China, but it's not their primary language.  Are businesses in China targeting the consumer in English because of the many dialects over there?  The information is also very vague and general.  When I googled the person and company name I only came up with one entry and it was a posting on a bulletin board telling folks basically what my email contact was telling me.  To make it a little murkier, the contact came from an email at a college networking site, not even the yahoo or company email stated above.

We've all been made aware of the foreign nationals who email us to tell us we can share in their billion dollar "forgotten" bank accounts if we only provide our own bank account numbers for the wiring of funds.  Uh huh. And I have some swampland right here in our lovely everglades I can sell you too.  But I've yet to hear that this has started happening right here in the Rain.  Have other Rainers been getting these contacts also?  Does this mean we are finally going mainstream??  Not only is google and the media noticing us, the conmen are too!
