Money Transfer Job Scams: August 2005

No legitimate company will use bank accounts of private individuals for processing payments from its customers. No legitimate business will pay 5% and more for international money transfers (for example, $250 out of $5000), when banks provide such services for only $30-50 per transaction and businesses and individuals can set up their own bank accounts in other countries if needed. No legitimate company uses private individuals to receive parcels and remail them.

Job offers on the internet such as the ones listed here involve stolen money and stolen goods. If you participate in these scams, even without criminal intent, you could be held liable and face criminal charges. If you have been recruited, contact the police and notify your bank.


europeancharityunion.com (2005-08-05)

Another money transfer scam run by an organized crime group from Eastern Europe. The domain for this fake charity was only created on 2005-08-05, less than two weeks before the job offer spam was sent. The content of the website is largely ripped off from kidsfirstfund.org, a legitimate charity.

silverisecorp.net / silverise.co.uk is a scam

This scam targets French speakers, possibly for Phishing scams against French bank customers. The domain "silverise.co.uk" was registered with registrant details similar to "serverbackup03.com", a phishing scam site targetting customers of Stadtsparkasse München, a local bank in Munich, Germany. Similar domains have been used for other money transfer scams before. The "silverisecorp.com" spam was also in French while "silverise.org" was in English.

For some reason, this spam was sent with a fake (2 1/2 year old) date. We received it on 2005-08-03.
