Global Union

Typical money mule scam targeting Australians, which invariably means the job involves receiving fraudulent bank transfers and forwarding money via Western Union. This message included white-on-white hashbuster text at the end of the message -- a technique last seen in the Green Tree scam, so I suspect this is the same scam under a new name.

Many thanks to A.C. for sending me this. At first glance, it looks like a typical money mule scam, but on closer investigation it appears to be an atypically nasty case. Most money mule scams deal in fraudulent direct bank transfers (from phishing) or forged cheques and money orders, but this one appears to be part of a credit card fraud gang. The amount of work involved in this scam is quite significant: they want you to set up a company and open a merchant account. I downloaded their FAQ document into Google docs for posterity, so see for yourself what's involved. To me it looks an awful lot like the mind-blowing organised credit card fraud operation documented by MGD, only this time the cover story is a software company, not web templates or e-books.

The website operated by this scam is quite slick -- it appears to have been ripped off from ELEKS Software.

I have found the following domain names used in association with this scam so far. All are relatively recent registrations. There may well be others.

ROBERTS AND SONS TEXTILES INDUSTRY LTD

A search on one of the associated phone numbers shows that this particular scam has been advertised under many different names, but all seem to end in "Textiles Industry Ltd". The "Textiles" cover story is inordinately popular with these scammers: do a search in my archives for that term, and see what I mean. It appears that this particular scam is targeting the USA, and the scam in question involves banking forged checks and forwarding money via Western Union or Money Gram.

MURCO PETROLIUM LTD

This is a scam, probably West African Advance Fee Fraud. If so, then the company and the job are fabrications -- lies told in order to trick victims into paying bogus fees. Clear indications that this is a scam include (a) the fact that it it spam, (b) the UK +4470 telephone number which can be forwarded anywhere in the world, (c) the extensive use of freemail addresses such as myway.com, and (d) the fact that it's a petroleum company -- my archives are littered with this exact same scam carried out under a whole bunch of different oil company names.

Financial Times Business

This is one of the usual money mule scams where they send you bad money (forged cheques, fraudulent bank transfers) and ask you to send back good, unrecoverable money (usually Western Union or similar). "Financial Times Business" sounds like the name of a newspaper, but it's just something the scammers have made up, and any resemblance to any real company (or newspaper, for that matter) is probably coincidental. The concept of "Financial Times Business" seems to have been ripped off from FTBusiness.com, a website which appears to be perfectly legitimate. Scammers often impersonate reputable businesses in this manner. These scammers are using a range of HR-themed Gmail addresses, which is a modus operandi I've seen before (such as the Shamrock scam).

UFG Finance

This is just another typical money mule scam, probably Russian (or close by), in which Australians are being targeted. In truth, the money sent to the "transfer manager" is stolen from other online bank accounts, and the process of forwarding it via Western Union is money laundering. If you have signed up, do not forward any money sent to you, but rather contact your bank and inform them that the transaction is suspicious.

Although it's not made obvious by the sales pitch, I'm willing to bet that this job scam is a money mule scam in which the employee receives direct bank transfer payments (from compromised Internet banking accounts) and is asked to forward them by Western Union (or similar). That seems to be the only kind of job scam ever targeted specifically at Australians.

McMorris Scan Tech

This particular job ad looks like bait for an advance fee fraud scam. In such scams, applicants are readily offered jobs, or at least job interviews, but there are certain fees to be paid up front, such as visa fees. The point of the scam is to extract these payments on the pretext of a job offer. The job does not exist, and the scammer has no connection to the alleged company offering it, assuming that the company isn't a complete fiction in the first place. In this case, the company appears to be fictitious, and there is a facade website (not mentioned in the spam) operating under this name to give it an air of legitimacy. A modest amount of effort has been put into the facade, primarily by plagiarising material from BP. (As evidence, see this Google search, and try searching on other key phrases. BP spouted most of those corporate platitudes first.)

We are currently looking to recruit a Regional Financial Coordinator to manage payments from the customers based within the limits of his country. You will be our financial intermediary in your local area and will be responsible to remit customer payments for the ordered warehousing or shipping to facilitate and fasten payment receipt at the headquarters of the company. This is a brand new part-time position and has been created to improve supply chain performance for the company as we move into a period of substantial expansion where we will double our current turnover.

The role includes dealing with 2-3 customer payments a week; reviewing the balance of the bank account, where the payment is supposed to be debited to; ensuring precise settlements regarding each payment; transmitting the payments to the Headquarters and subsidiaries of the company by means of instant Western Union payment system and providing regular feedback and reports to the Headquarters Office Manager and Supervisor.

It is essential that the candidate promotes positive/can do attitude and discharges his duties urgently, has literate communicational and PC-user skills to interact with other team members and make external contacts related to the job nature.
Successful applicants will need to have a bank account to be used for the customer payments to be debited to, be energetic, enthusiastic and naturally ambitious. This is very much seen as a career progression role that could lead to a management position, so if you are willing to work 1-2 hours a day and be paid on an interest basis (net 10% out of each customer payment you have dealt with) you are welcome to apply now.
So if you are looking for a "career of your life" and would like to find out more about the job specification please visit our web-site at http://grntwr.com

Yours faithfully, Gloria Blackman

Hollywood Sales Group

This is an old money mule scam under a new name. The last time I reported on it, they were calling themselves "Cama Sales and Distribution Group". I've probably neglected to document a couple of name changes between then and now, though. The scammers are using a bunch of different Gmail addresses as contact points.
