Remember this post on attorney scams? The company from which it purportedly originated was stated to be

G and T trading Company Limited, Tokyo Kotsu Kaikan Bldg. 7F. 2-10-1 Yurakucho Chiyoda-ku Tokyo 100-0006 JAPAN

We now have first-hand evidence that this company does not exist at that location.

Brian Johnson, who works in Tokyo for a patent law firm, graciously sauntered over to that address, located near the Yurakucho Station (有楽町駅). He reports:

Here's what I found:

There are five businesses on the 7th floor. They are

1. Mitsubishi Shuji Logistics -- Known in English as Mitsubishi Corporation LT, Inc
Transport Equipment, warehousing & transport

2. Kyocera Contax Salon -- a photo gallery for Kyocera/Contax

3. Kabushi Kaisha Hitachi Hoken Service -- Seems to be some kind of insurance company related to Hitachi

4. Kaigisu Musubikai -- can't find out anything about these guys but no G or T or trading in their name.

5. K.K. Gakujo -- an employment agency

Thus:

...it appears that there is no company called G and T Trading on that floor.

Heartfelt thanks to Brian Johnson for his willingness to take time out of his day for Asiabizblog readers!
