Cama Sales and Distribution Group

Compare this email with that of "Teridian Sales and Distribution Group", seen in late October, 2007. Obviously it's the same scam, which is just the usual "receive fraudulent bank transfers and forward cash via Western Union" money mule work.

This is a typical money mule scam in which the scammers are targeting Australians. Money is fraudulently tansferred into the account of the "employee", who is then asked to forward the bulk of it via Western Union or Money Gram. Curiously, the image header they used in one of these messages includes the name "Geneva Finance" rather than "IFN Finance". Geneva Finance is a familiar name around these parts.

This one is hot off the press, but still just a boring old money mule scam, meaning they want you to receive and pass on money stolen from other people's bank accounts (on the pretext that it's a payment).

Cole Art

Over the past couple of weeks, I've had a couple of enquiries about "Cole Art, Incs." They're looking to hire people for photographic work. It's a scam: they'll send fake checks or money orders, and want some of the funds to be forwarded elsewhere (actually to them, or an accomplice) via Western Union or Money Gram. This scam looks Nigerian, and the WHOIS record for the scammer's domain backs this up, but the domain name seems to have been registered and the site designed on behalf of the scammer by Emmanuel Ezeali. What with all the scamming going on in that country, Nigeria is a great place to be a web designer, so long as you don't care who you work for, and don't ask your clients too many questions.

How are you today? As regards your payment,I have contacted our Client
in the US in respect to the payment and it will be issued to you prior
the commencement of the photoshoot.

We intend to make use of an internationally reknowned model from Spain.
We are working on getting her payment accross to her as it will take
long time to have US fund cashed in her country Spain and we are
concluding that total payment from our Sponsor/client be issued to you .
and you have the photographer paid at her arrival for the photoshoot.

Please e-mail me back as soon as possible if this is OK by you.

Thanks

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.
