I haven't reported a scam running under the name of "Global Connect Network" before, but a quick search shows that this isn't the first time it's happened. This is just a money mule scam. The scammer is operating under the following domain name.
Domain Name: YANKEESCARDS.COM <-- scam
Registrar: GO DADDY SOFTWARE, INC.
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com
Name Server: NS1.SERVAGE.NET
Name Server: NS2.SERVAGE.NET
Name Server: NS3.SERVAGE.NET
Name Server: NS4.SERVAGE.NET
Updated Date: 17-mar-2007
Creation Date: 17-mar-2007 <-- recent
Expiration Date: 17-mar-2008
The website at that domain currently redirects to http://www.global-connect-network.com/
Domain Name: GLOBAL-CONNECT-NETWORK.COM <-- scam
Registrar: DIRECT INFORMATION PVT LTD D/B/A PUBLICDOMAINREGISTRY.COM
Whois Server: whois.PublicDomainRegistry.com
Referral URL: http://www.PublicDomainRegistry.com
Name Server: NS1.GLOBAL-CONNECT-NETWORK.COM
Name Server: NS2.GLOBAL-CONNECT-NETWORK.COM
Updated Date: 30-jun-2006
Creation Date: 30-jun-2006 <- not terribly new!
Expiration Date: 30-jun-2007
So why is this scammer going through a redirect in a new domain, rather than linking directly to his nine-month-old scam domain? Probably because the spam filters got the idea that anything with a link to global-connect-network.com in it was spam some time ago.
