E-Waste Systems Inc. (fka EWSI)

[buckyboy]

This actually is a U.S. company incorporated in the state of Nevada. If it were a foreign issue it would have an "F" suffix on its trading symbol as well. However, as a U.S. based OTCQB (fully reporting, fully audited) company, they do present an intriguing "lottery ticket" scenario with its global Master Franchisee revenue stream.

OTC Symbology Guide
All OTC equity symbols are issued by FINRA and follow the standard four character symbol convention used by Nasdaq. A fifth character is used to indicate a particular security type or status (e.g. bankruptcy, delinquent in filings).

The guide below is not absolute as exceptions to the rule are possible and do occur; however, it is a good reference tool for analyzing OTC securities.
