Fraud Alert Mitsubishi International Corporation has become aware of incidents involving the unauthorized use of its name, or affiliated company names, in attempts to conduct transactions designed to defraud members of the public. The most recent examples of this that have come to our attention include: 1) Counterfeit checks purportedly issued by Mitsubishi International PolymerTrade Corp. and sent by mail under a cover letter stating that the recipient has won a lottery. These letters and checks are not legitimate and appear to be part of a scam to defraud check recipients by inducing them to pay a certain sum to a "tax agent" in order to be able to cash the check and claim the lottery prize money. Click here to view a sample of such letter and check. 2) Solicitations of assistance in clearing foreign checks or payment orders that refer to "Mitsubishi Corporation (UK) Plc" and/or "Mitsubishi Corporation" with promises of financial gain to the person who agrees to provide such assistance. These solicitations are issued by persons using false names who have no connection with us or our affiliates in attempts to carry out transactions designed to defraud members of the public. Click here to view a sample of such solicitation. Please beware of these fraudulent schemes and feel free to notify us through our inquiry form if you receive any such documents or notices. We also encourage you to notify your local law enforcement authorities whenever you receive any documents or notices that appear to be fraudulent. |
