From the job description, this appears to be some sort of parcel mule scam or other criminal activity. This video explains how a parcel reshipping scam works:


seekcousa.com is regsitered with Chinese registrar BIZCN, and the WHOIS details are fake:
Registrant Name: Ernest Dubose
Registrant Organization: Ernest D. Dubose
Registrant Street: 129 Oakridge Lane
Registrant City: Irving
Registrant State/Province: TX
Registrant Postal Code: 75038
Registrant Country: us
Registrant Phone: +1.4699959821
Registrant Phone Ext:
Registrant Fax: +1.4699959821
Registrant Fax Ext:
Registrant Email: info@seekcousa.com
Registry Admin ID:



seekconz.com is also registered with BIZCN, but with different fake details:
Registrant Name: Nickolas Gordon
Registrant Organization: Nickolas R. Gordon
Registrant Street: 4930 Clarence Court
Registrant City: Ontario
Registrant State/Province: CA
Registrant Postal Code: 91762
Registrant Country: us
Registrant Phone: 909-988-6071
Registrant Phone Ext:
Registrant Fax: 909-988-6333
Registrant Fax Ext:
Registrant Email: info@seekconz.com


There is no website associated with either of these domains, but there are mail records of mx.seekconz.com and mx.seekcousa.com pointing to 93.190.137.5 (Worldstream, Netherlands). Nameservers involved in the fraud are ns1.friscolakesgc.net hosted on the same IP and ns2.friscolakesgc.net hosted on 32.21.129.43 (AT&T, US).

We can dig a little deeper on those nameserver records, they have fake WHOIS details as well:
Registrant Name: ROSEMARY CARPIO
Registrant Organization:
Registrant Street: 701 Collins Ave, Apt 4B
Registrant City: MIAMI BEACH
Registrant State/Province: FL
Registrant Postal Code: 33139-6203
Registrant Country: US
Registrant Phone: +1.7868777722
Registrant Phone Ext.:
Registrant Fax:
Registrant Fax Ext.:
Registrant Email: haveacupoft@gmx.us
Registry Admin ID:


These fake details also appear on a domain airnavrace.net which is used as a namserver domain for the following domains and uses the following IPs:
quarter.su
147.249.171.10 (IDD Information Services, US)
42.96.195.183 (Alibaba, China)

.su domains are usually bad news, and I suspect that quarter.su is up to no good. The WHOIS details for this domain don't give much detail..

domain: QUARTER.SU
nserver: ns1.aim-darts.net.
nserver: ns1.airnavrace.net.
state: REGISTERED, DELEGATED
person: Private Person
e-mail: bartels@xrbox.com
registrar: R01-REG-FID
created: 2013.12.09
paid-till: 2014.12.09
free-date: 2015.01.11
source: TCI


That domain is multihomed on a bunch of IPs:

176.53.125.6 (Radore Veri Merkezi Hizmetleri, Turkey)
37.255.241.29 (TCE, Iran)
108.81.248.139 (William Allard / AT&T, US)
65.27.155.176 (Time Warner Cable, US)
203.235.181.138 (KRNIC, Korea)
95.57.118.56 (Dmitry Davydenko , Kazakhstan)
186.214.212.64 (Global Village Telecom, Brazil)
89.39.83.177 (C&A Connect SRL, Romania)

This, it turns out is the tip of a very large iceberg of malicious domains and IPs which I will cover in the next post.
