Is this real, or some kind of scam? They want ID, bank receipts, etc. I have never done business with email addresses noted - they may have sent me email with pricing, but I receive hundreds of those.

A letter for foreign internet businessman

Dear ladies and gentlemen,
This is putian public security bureau internet supervisory department.

Thank you for your trading with Chinese and promoting Chinese economy. But we hope you will take a few moments to read this letter.

We found out that maybe you were one of the victims when we investigated a defrauding case from the internet false information. The suspects do that always this way: they have been scattering information that they have lots of goods to sell since November,2006 .when you contact them, they will negotiate with you at much lower than the current market price and ask you pay beforehand. After taking the money, the suspect will make an excuse like ‘I did not receive your money.’ ‘I sent the product’ to you; they will even send you something useless. So far, products they used to cheat you we found are MP4 Players, play station(PS),ipods, xboxs and etc. If you have contacted the supects through producttop@hotmail.com, producttopmay@hotmail.com, producttop@yahoo.com.cn, producttopmay@yahoo.com.cn to buy their products as above-mentioned and paid for them , but you did not receive the products you want after a long time, maybe you are have been cheated.

In order to verify the case,to protect your legal rights and interest and punish the suspects, we need your assistance.

We will accuse the suspect in the Chinese court instead of you on the basis of the materials you supplied. The material includes 1,your real ID credential of your country and area.2,the receipt or invoice of the bank’s remittance.3, copies of the e-mails you comunicated with the suspect through the e-mail box as above -mentioned. We need copies of the products name, quantity, total remittance amount, and the account number of the banks or western union . Copies you telling the suspect that you have sent the money to him are also needed.

After Chinese policemen investigate your case and Chinese courts pronounce judgment, we will try our best to return what you lost. Of course,you must guarantee the evidence you supplied is real and not forged.

We are only investigating the cases related to the four e-mail boxes as mentioned above. If the suspects did not communicate to you through these e-mail boxes , please do not answer this letter, because the suspects are not the ones we are investigating.

Please remember our information.
