Fake jobs: eur-exlusive.com

Another addition to this series of fake job offers is the domain eur-exlusive.com.

Assuming that this follows the standard pattern of dozens of other domains, then these will be too-good-to-be-true job offers that appear to have been emailed "from" yourself. The jobs on offer will actually be money laundering or some other criminal activity.

The domain was registered on 23th July, to a fake registrant "Ricardo Lopez", allegedly from Estonia. Avoid at all costs.

If you have a sample, please consider sharing it in the Comments.

Fake jobs: world-chilecv.com

Just a single fake job domain today, world-chilecv.com is an addition to this long-running series of so-called job offers which actually turn out to be money laundering or some other criminal activity.

The domain in question was registered just yesterday to the no-doubt fake reigstrant:

Ricardo Lopez
    Email: ricardolip2@yahoo.com
    Organization: Ricardo Lopez
    Address: ul. Liivalaia 34-10
    City: Tallin
    State: Tallin
    ZIP: 15040
    Country: EE
    Phone: +3.726317190 


This domain was registered only yesterday. Avoid.

Sunday 17 July 2011

Fake jobs: eur-cvlist.com, gr-hire.com and world-cvlist.com

Three new fake jobs domains following this pattern, offering bogus jobs which will actually turn out to be money laundering or some other criminal activity.

eur-cvlist.com
gr-hire.com
world-cvlist.com

One characteristic of recent emails is that they appear to come "from" the recipient, as the spammers have forged the "from" field (which is very easy to do).

The registrant details for the domain are no doubt fake:

    Ricardo Lopez
    Email: ricardolip2@yahoo.com
    Organization: Ricardo Lopez
    Address: ul. Liivalaia 34-10
    City: Tallin
    State: Tallin
    ZIP: 15040
    Country: EE
    Phone: +3.726317190 

The domains were registered two days ago on 15th July. If you have samples of spam using these domains, please consider sharing them in the comments.

cl-exlusive.com
europ-exlusive.com

The domains were created yesterday, registered to a no-doubt fake registrant:

Friday 8 July 2011

Fake jobs: job-britain.com and job4america.com

Two new fake job domains that form part of this long-running series, job-britain.com and job4america.com are pushing fake job offers which will actually be illegal activities like money laundering.

These domains were registered just yesterday to a fake registrant called "Leonid Pravduk". Avoid.

If you have samples of the spam emails using these domains, please consider sharing them in the comments.

Thursday 7 July 2011

Fake jobs: westgroupcv.net, wug-cunsulting.net, wug-joblist.com and wugcv-offers.com

Four new domains forming part of the very long-running "Lapatasker" series of fake job offers:

westgroupcv.net
wug-cunsulting.net
wug-joblist.com
wugcv-offers.com


These job offers will typically involve illegal money mule operations and other fraudulent activities. Unless you enjoy jail time, they are best ignored.

If you have any example emails, please consider sharing them in the comments!

Sunday 3 July 2011

Fake jobs: europe-cv.net, gb-traffic.com and totaljoblists.net

A trio of domains being used to push fake jobs (such as money mule operations) and other illegal activities, part of this long running series. The domains were registered just yesterday.

europe-cv.net
gb-traffic.com
totaljoblists.net

Avoid any offers soliciting a reply to these domains. If you have an example spam email, please consider sharing it in the comments. Thanks!

Thursday 30 June 2011

Fake jobs: au-jobposition.com

Another domain being used to promote money laundering jobs or other criminal enterprises is au-jobposition.com which forms part of this long-running scam.

As usual, avoid. If you have any samples, please consider posting them in the comments section.

Tuesday 28 June 2011

Fake jobs: greece-joblist.com and italia-lavoro.net

A pair of domains offering fake money mule jobs or reshipping mule jobs, the greece-joblist.com and italia-lavoro.net domains seem to be targeting Italian and Greek victims and form part of this long running scam.

If you have any examples (especially non-English ones) please share them in the comments!

Fake job domains 23/6/11

Another day, another set of fake job domains forming part of this long-running scam. The domains were registered just two days ago to a presumably fictitious character called "Leonid Pravduk".

au-joblists.com
europ-joblist.com
gb-totaljob.com
uk-joblists.com
us-joblists.com


The "job" being offered is usually something like a money mule or taking part in a reshipping scam. In any case, the so-called job is illegal and should be avoided.

If you have a copy of a sample email, please share it in the comments section!

Sunday 19 June 2011

Fake job domains 19/6/111

A whole batch of domains advertising fake jobs today (mostly money mule operations). These were are registered two days ago to the fictitious "Leonid Pravduk" registrant that we have seen recently, and form part of the very long running "Lapatasker" series of scam domains.

europe-hire.net
green-westeurope.com
hosting-europ.com
newgreen-europ.com
traffic-europ.com
us-totaljob.com
usa-totaljob.com


Avoid these, basically.. but if you do have a sample email, feel free to share it in the comments.

Friday 17 June 2011

Fake jobs: totaljob-eu.com

Another day, another fake job domain used for contacting potential money laundering mules, this time totaljob-eu.com which is a part of this long-running scam.

The domain was registered just yesterday to the new "Leonid Pravduk" persona that the scammers seem to be using. Avoid.

    Leonid Pravduk
    Email: leonpravduk@yahoo.com
    Organization: Leonid Pravduk
    Address: ul.Beregovaya 13-2
    City: Doneck
    State: Doneckaya

    Country: UA

Thursday 16 June 2011

Fake jobs: cosulting-eu.com and espana-cvbase.com

Two more fake domains in the long-running "Lapatasker" series:

cosulting-eu.com
espana-cvbase.com

The registration details have changed (see below), but otherwise this is the same old attempt to recruit people for money laundering. Avoid.

Leonid Pravduk
    Email: leonpravduk@yahoo.com
    Organization: Leonid Pravduk
    Address: ul.Beregovaya 13-2
    City: Doneck

Tuesday 14 June 2011

Fake jobs: usa-jobslist.com

Another addition to this long running scam, usa-jobslist.com is freshly registered and will be used to attempt to recruit people for money laundering and other illegal activities. Avoid.

Monday 13 June 2011

Fake jobs: gb-offerlist.com, high-webtraffic.com and traffic-dc.com

More fake job offers.. or at least more fake something from the crew behind the "Lapatasker" series of dodgy domains:

gb-offerlist.com
high-webtraffic.com
traffic-dc.com


The shift in domain names might mean a shift in tactics, but be assured that any solicitation you get from these email addresses will be a scam.

Two more fake domains being used in the "Lapatasker" series of bogus job offers, registered on 3rd May 2011:

wug-hire.com fake job offer

Yet another installment in this endless series of fake job offers, the domain wug-hire.com is being used as a reply-to address for this particular scam. The "wug" name has been used before in this spam run.

alleurope-consult.com job scam

Another fake job offer in this long running job scam, alleurope-consult.com is probably another money mule operation. The email is pretty terse and doesn't allude to much:

Location:  the Europe Union

If you are interested, please reply to : Ladonna@alleurope-consult.com

All the best.
