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.

Thursday 9 June 2011

Fake jobs: europe-joblist.com

Another fake "Lapatasker" job offer domain, europe-joblist.com was registered just yesterday to "Aleksej Iliin".

The standard pitch is for a job that actually involves money laundering or some other criminal activity. Avoid.

Tuesday 7 June 2011

Fake jobs: allconsult-eu.com, es-joblist.com and us-joblist.com

Another bunch of fake "Lapatasker" job offers, part of a long-running series. Jobs offered will including such illegal activities as money laundering and receiving stolen goods, so worth avoiding.

allconsult-eu.com
es-joblist.com
us-joblist.com

Contact details on the domain are probably fake ("Aleksej Iliin" again):

    Aleksej Iliin
    Email: abolan@mail.org
    Organization: Private person
    Address: Okruzhnaya ul. d.5 kv.4
    City: Moskva
    State: Moskovskaya obl.
    ZIP: 183124
    Country: RU
    Phone: +7.4959424617
    Fax: +7.4959424617

All domains were registered on 5th June.

Tuesday 31 May 2011

Fake jobs: 1new-position.com, gb-hire.net, gb-jbprogramm.com, online-vacancy.net and us-vacancy.net

Another installment of this long-running job scam, the following domains are newly registered (2 days ago) and are most likely to be used to recruit people for money laundering and other criminal activities. Avoid.

1new-position.com
gb-hire.net
gb-jbprogramm.com
online-vacancy.net
us-vacancy.net

Domains are registered to the "Aleksej Iliin" persona that we have seen many times before.

Tuesday 24 May 2011

gb-offers.com bogusjob offers

Another domain offering bogus jobs in money laundering or other illegal activities is gb-offers.com, part of the long running "Lapatasker" series of scams. As with other recent domains, this too is registered to the (probably fake) "Aleksej Iliin" person.

Avoid.

Friday 20 May 2011

Fake jobs: au-position.org and europjob.org

Two new(ish) fake job domains in the "Lapatasker" series, au-position.org and europjob.org are being used to recruit money mules etc etc.

As usual, avoid.

Scam: "Your money has been recovered"

Originating from a government-owned IP address in China (218.26.2.42), this slightly puzzling advanced fee fraud is deliberately vague about where this $7.6m comes from.. of course, there are no millions stashed away in Hong Kong, but instead you can expect that there will be a LOT of expensive and unexpected fees to pay instead.

sshopper.net "mystery shopper" scam

We've seen this scam before, but this type the mystery shopper scam uses a domain of sshopper.net to solicit replies. Avoid.


Re: MS/Secret Shopper [$700/week]


Thank you for your interest in the MS Shopper position.
Our company conducts surveys and evaluates other companies in order to help them achieve their performance goals.
We offer an integrated suite of business solutions that enables corporations to achieve tangible results in the marketplace.

We get hired by other companies and act like customers to find out how they are handling their services in relation to their customers.
MS Shopping is the most accurate and reliable tool a business can use to gather information regarding their actual customer service performance at the moment of truth.
This moment of truth is not when the staff is on their best behavior because the boss is around - it is when they interact with customers during their normal daily routines.

This is where you, the MS Shopper, come in.
You pose as an ordinary customer and provide feedback of both factual observations (ex...the floor was free of debris)
and your own opinions (ex...I felt that the temperature in the establishment was too cold).

MS Shoppers must remain anonymous. You must act as a regular customer and be careful not to do anything that would reveal you as a shopper.
An inexperienced shopper could tip off the staff to his/her identity by asking for the manager's name for no clear or appropriate reason.
If you are going to be bringing someone with you on the shop, make sure you educate them about the process as well.
Beware that even whispers can be overheard by employees. If anyone notices you are a shopper,
you can bet that word will quickly spread around the establishment and you will get some of the best customer service in town.

No company can afford to have a gap between the promise of quality and its actual delivery, that's why leading corporations look to us,
the nation's premiere MS shopping and customer experience measurement company.

In order for a business to effectively compete in today's economy, they must be prepared to meet the challenge of increasing sales by:
* Retaining existing customers
* Acquiring new customers
* Creating word-of-mouth advocacy
* Improving customer loyalty

Once we have a contract to do so, you would be directed to the company or outlet, and you would be given
the funds you need to do the job(either purchase merchandise or require services), after which you would write a detailed report of your experience.

Examples of details you would forward to us are:
1) How long does it take to get served.
2) Politeness of the attendant.
3) Customer service professionalism.
4) Sometimes you might be required to upset the attendant, to see how they deal with difficult clients.

Then we turn the information over to the company executives and they will carry out their own duties in improving their services.
Most companies employ our assistance when people complain about their services, or when they feel there is a need for them to improve upon their customer service.
Our company partners with you to implement proven MS shop auditing and surveying strategies that provide critical information about customer experiences.

You will be paid a commission of $100 for every duty you carry out, and bonus on your transportation allowance.
Your task will be to evaluate and comment on customer service in a wide variety of restaurants, retail stores, casinos,
shopping malls, banks and hotels in your area.


Qualities of a good MS Shopper:
* Is 21 years of age or older
* Loves to go shopping
* Is fair and objective
* Is ON TIME
* Is very observant and able to focus on details
* Is fairly intelligent
* Has patience
* Is detail oriented
* Is practical
* Types well
* Is trustworthy
* Explains well in writing
* Is discreet
* Loves to learn
* Handles deadlines
* Has full internet access (at home or at work)

MS Shopping is fun and exciting but also must be approached very seriously and is definitely not for everyone.

If you are interested in applying for consideration as a MS Shopper do send in your information: Guadalupe@sshopper.net

As soon as we receive your information we will add you to our database and we will look for locations in your area that needs to be evaluated.

Attorney scam: Oak Spring Canola Farms

This is a type of scam email that I haven't seen before, in this case targetting lawyers.. especially dumb ones (and I certainly have seen a lot of those before).

Expect your urgent responds at your earliest time.

Yours Sincerely,

I don't even know what a Canola Farm is, but the IP address that this originates from is 74.210.20.6 in Canada which is blacklisted for spamming out another scam (via surriel.com)

"Culbert Cosmetics Company" is more obviously a scam, so clearly "Oak Spring Canola Farms" is too.

It turns out that scammin lawyers can be quite lucrative, but they do tend to follow established patterns. There's a pretty good repository of attorney email scams, some of which are quite hard to tell apart from genuine client enquiries.

"United Nation Bonded Warehouse Wales" scam

An obvious scam, but one that's really quite stupid:

From AHMED SALEH ABDUL KHALIQALIFI,.
United Nation Bonded Warehouse wales Branch.Office..........

What? Where? Actually, the UN does run warehouses, primarily for aid efforts (there's a list of jobs here) usually in areas suffering from disasters or war.. I don't think a Friday night in Swansea counts. But a bonded warehouse is not the same thing at all..

SALAM,

Dried sausage to you, too.

This is AHMED SALEH ABDUL KHALIQALIFI ,  Presently stationed with the possition of  assistant Manager as a trusted store-keeper herein United Nation Bonded WareHouse Wales Branch ..Office, Division in South West of  Great Brintain  . I will like to share some very vital information that would bring some good financial returns to us in just a few weeks or days depending on how fast we pursue the matter.I am seeking your assistance to evacuate unclaimed valuable property to your safe custody, as long as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until i complete my service here
Why do I think that "trusted" is not the right word when you are basically offering me something that you have stolen? And Wales is in the "South West of  Great Brintain"? That's somebody who has a very badly spelled atlas that they don't really understand. Oh yes, and if you're in Wales, why is the sending IP address 110.159.18.181 in Malaysia?

This may not be the best medium to make this kind of contact because of the numerous scam offers transmitted through the Internet, but it is all I have access to for now.

Well, I'm glad you pointed that out because I totally believe that it's not a scam now. Tell you what, Wales is a couple of hours drive.. why don't I pop over with a van or something?

I will be very grateful if you can give me the opportunity to discuss this matter with you by assuring me that you will not use any part of it against me in anyway, I hope you understand my limitations here. I will await a mail from you.
What. like publishing your pathetic scamming effort onto teh interwebs?

Sincere Regards,

AHMED SALEH ABDUL KHALIQALIFI.
I think you need to double check the meaning of "sincere.."

position-gb.com / position-west.com fake job offer

Part of a long series of fake job offers, this one uses the domains position-gb.com and position-west.com to solicit replies. In this case "bank account operations" is money laundering, "transportation and logistics" is most likely a parcel reshipping scam and "private enterprise service" could be one of a number of criminal activities. Avoid.
