AGF

It's about time I posted this one, since I've seen it all over the place in the last couple of days. It's nothing terribly interesting: just more money mule work under another fake company name. The perpetrators are using several aol.com contact addresses, but aren't providing anything more than that. Addresses I've seen so far include the following.

AviationGF@aol.com
agfuelscorp@aol.com

BlueWings Inc.

Another money mule scam and another random fake company name and website to lend it credibility. There is a German airline known as "Blue Wings", but this does not appear to be an attempt to impersonate them -- it's just a completely made up name, and any other use of the same name is conincidence. The domain name registration is surprisingly old (for a scam), but still less than a year. Although the job offer isn't clear on the kind of work to be performed, it's a foregone conclusion that it involves receiving direct transfers of stolen money from compromised bank accounts, and forwarding the spoils to the scammers via Western Union.

PCF

Like every other money mule job I've seen which targets Australians, this one involves receiving stolen money from compromised bank accounts via direct bank transfer, then forwarding it (minus your cut) to the thieves via Western Union or Money Gram. The "PCF" charity thing is a complete fiction. There are various charities which use the initials "PCF", but these guys aren't working with any of them -- they're just thieves.
