SNB Auctions

Work available as administrative assistant for organised crime gang of unknown nationality. Job duties expected to involve fraud, money laundering, and liaison with law enforcement officers followed by possible criminal charges.

The .md domain does not operate a whois server, so no details as to the date of registration for "snbauctions.md" are available. Assume the worst. Note that the website appears to be hosted by proxy through a botnet (it returns five widely divergent address records in dynamically allocated address space with short time-to-live values).

A Google search on a phrase from the "about us" page shows (a) evidence of plagiarism, and (b) tentative overlap with other scams: "Zinex Finance" and "East Collect Int".

This is a typical money mule job with one novel twist: the sign-up link they provide connects to a Flash file hosted at imageshack.us, rather than the more typical HTML website. This may be their latest attempt at avoiding spam filters. In my case, that strategy failed: it arrived in my Gmail spam folder as it ought.

For those not familiar with this scam, it involves laundering stolen money. The "employers" (a crime gang, not actually representative of any company) transfer stolen money into your bank account, then ask you to withdraw it and send it overseas via Western Union, thus laundering it. It's illegal. Contact your bank if you've received any money from these guys and report the transaction as suspicious: the bank will send the money back to its rightful owner.

This is just another money mule job in which the "employee" launders money for an organised crime gang elsewhere in the world. At the time I post, the website to which they have linked here is not active yet. When spamming out job ads like this, the scammers are pretty much obliged to use several domain names, since spam filters are particularly sensitive to hyperlinks like this.

"Regional Representative" job with rambler.ru contact address

This is a typical money mule scam targeting Australians, but it's very thin on identification. The "company" is not identified (not that there is one), and the only form of contact offered is a very long and random email address in the "rambler.ru" domain (which I suspect is just another free webmail system). These techniques appear to serve two purposes: to evade spam filters, and to make it hard to search for information on sites like mine. Seriously, what would you search on to find this page? Congratulations to you if you found it anyhow.
