The problem is, the phone number listed by the company is bogus. You can't
contact this alleged Panamanian company if you want to talk to someone.
That, in itself, makes the whole thing suspect. I'd expect to start getting
emails from some poor widow in Panama who will share her husband's million
dollar estate if you will only give her your bank account information...
then she'll move to Nigeria!
