Maanshan Iron & Steel Company Limited (SSE: 600808; SEHK: 0323) is China's ninth largest steel producer after Baosteel and Wuhan Iron & Steel. Set along the banks of the Yangtze River in Ma'anshan, Masteel is known as the "flower of Jiangnan (South of Yangtze River in Chinese language)."
Maanshan Iron & Siteel, better known as Masteel, turns out 8 million tons of steel annually, 80% of which are of international grade (the remainder is used in-state). Its H-beams, plates, wheels, and wires are exported to nearly 50 countries worldwide. The company also makes wheels for locomotives. Formerly a subsidiary of Magang (Group) Holding Company, Masteel was spun off in 1993 and today is publicly traded on the Shanghai and Hong Kong stock exchanges. It has 44,104 employees as of December 2007.[citation needed]

The company name has been used by scammers to attempt to con U.S. based attorneys into accepting counterfeit cashier's checks. A typical scammer e-mail is:
Dear Attorney
My company would like to sue our client for breach of contract and is looking for a lawyer who has experience in the field of law that relates to our case. Contact us for more details if you handle such cases.
Regards, Mr Hu Shunliang Director of Human Resources MaanShan Iron & Steel Co.Ltd
This is, of course, a scam.
