Cheque fraud money mule scam. The sender does not represent any company, and obviously isn't afraid to tell whopping great lies (see end of email). Note that a UK +4470 phone number is used, which can be redirected internationally. The source IP was 193.124.133.218, which is currently delegated to Russia.

Actually Kitto Foods may have Russian origins, but you will be asked to send money via Western Union to the UK or to a Korean bank account in the name of Jacoms International.
They also will give a US telephone contact (although of course this is also easy to set up).
Still a scam though. I think that the Korean company is owned by OKONKWO ARTHUR NWABUEZE which is NOT a Korean name but an African one. The Korean company is in the clothing business and not the food business. I suspect that the real scammer is Arthur Okonkwo (possibly from South Africa). He has another business importing clothes from Korea and gets suckers to wire him money to this company.
Actually, the Russian IP address is probably irrelevant. This reeks of Nigerian scammers. There are a lot of Nigerian scammers working out of the UK. The Korean link is interesting -- I don't recall having seen that before.
I have recently post an ad in Craigslist for my services. It seems they come from there more than anything. I have received maybe 10 in 2 days and one of them is Kitto Foods. Most of them are textiles and jewelry. I do know they are scammers but what to do with them? Is there any authorities we can send this to so they can takae care of it??? Thank you.
Given that the scammers are in some other country -- we're not sure which one -- it's hard to get any law enforcement action going. Just educate as many people as you can about the scam.
