au-cartrader.com FRAUD

http://www.au-cartrader.com/  FAKE FRAUD SCAM

Au-cartrader.com a fake shipping and escrow company run by Romanian scammers, registered in Russia and hosted on a server in Russia.
The fake site is targeting car buyers in Australia.
We all know that there is nothing in real life as a shipping and escrow site.

These scammers created a domain named http://www.defenceairforces.com/, which forwards to the legitimate site http://www.airforce.gov.au/, to trick buyers into thinking they are dealing with a legitimate person in the Royal Australian Air Force.
The scammers are then instructing their intended victims to send payments via Western Union.

This site is being run by the same scammers involved in the previous clone site:
http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2010/11/london-autopaycom-fraud.html

http://whois.domaintools.com/au-cartrader.com
http://nic.ru/en/

http://whois.domaintools.com/defenceairforces.com
send complaints to:
abuse@nvhserver.com
Here is what the scammer is sending to his intended victims:

I've spoke to my superiors and I can take 4 days permission to bring the car but I don't want to take this permission and maybe come for nothing, I mean that there is a risk of coming to you and...you simply don't show up and I don't want to be embarrassed because there will not be a second chance for me to take a second permission. Carsales website recommends using escrow companies for distant transaction and I believe http://www.au-cartrader.com/ can do a very good job. I've read their terms which is suitable for both of us but first you must register at their website and then provide your user name so I can start the transaction. You can read how escrow works here: www.au-cartrader.com/howitworks.php .
I can give you one day to test the car at any inspection service you wish and only if you decide to keep it, they will release the money to me so, this is the safest way. I'm going to drive the car myself so...there will be no shipper or shipping company and the reason of using an escrow company is because I don't want to drive all the way just like that, I must be sure I'm coming for something because as you probably know is a very big distance . Let me know your decision because there is another person who wants to buy it and I need to know which way to go.

I'll bring the car with the log book and we can sign the papers right away

COMODO sites safe?

http://www.usaholidaybazaar.com/  FAKE FRAUD SCAM
http://www.onsaleplaygrounds.com/  FAKE FRAUD SCAM
http://www.elmamall.com/  FAKE FRAUD SCAM
(same scammers, different web host, fake COMODO emblem, no SSL )

2 fraud sites, same web host......
These 2 sites are the newest in a long line of fake stores using the Green Dot MoneyPak scam.
The fraud domain usaholidaybazaar.com actually has the COMODO secure authentication emblem on it.
(image below)
How can a scam site get an SSL certificate?
Are there no measures to prevent this?
Can any scammer using a stolen credit card get this service?
This situation leaves me feeling that I couldn't trust any site displaying the COMODO authentication emblem.
I have previous posts where scammers used COMODO for their fake sites too.
This same scammer:
http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2010/12/homeclearancefurniturecom-scam.html
and a different scammer:
http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2010/10/fv-groupnet-fraud.html

COMODO touts its browser plug-in, VerificationEngine, that supposedly helps people from getting scammed,  but it relies on sites in its own database. Will it tell you these fraud sites are legitimate?
http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/verification-engine.php
"VerificationEngine lets you easily verify that the site you're on can be trusted, essential to secure web-surfing."

Here are images of the fraud sites.
This site has the COMODO auithentication http://www.usaholidaybazaar.com/

 Lets hope no one is ripped off thinking they'll get playground equipment for their children in time for Christmas using http://www.onsaleplaygrounds.com/.

Both domains have been reported to the web host, who is usually good at removing fake sites from their servers.
Green Dot MoneyPak has a page on their site to help protect yourself from fraud:
https://www.moneypak.com/ProtectYourMoney.aspx
Please read it.

http://www.us-army-services.com/  FAKE FRAUD SCAM

You'd think someone would have the brains to inform me of a new site related to a previous post  on my blog concerning this scam:
http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2010/10/us-army-deliverycom-fraud.html

....but no.
I had to wait until I received a clue to the whereabouts of the new scam site.
That clue was for someone to do a Google search for the term:
shopping@us-army-services.com

I knew there must have been a new site because of the recent spike in searches for things like:
us army logistics department
US Army Shopping & Safety Service

The new fake site is being hosted by:

inetnum:        83.170.69.0 - 83.170.69.255

Please send an email to:

in order to get the site killed.

Also read the post mentioned above and file complaints.
Stop being so complacent and let the scammers rip people off by not doing anything.

Same scammers as:
http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2010/12/ebaybillpaycom-fraud.html
These scammers are also running:
http://www.elmamall.com/
and
http://www.onsalesuperstore.com/

The scammers are plastering Craigslist with ads like this:
Mountaineer Swingset Slide Playscape - $549

Read more about these scammers here:
http://tucsoncitizen.com/bbbconsumeralert/2010/04/23/online-scammers-steal-cash-fail-to-deliver-playset/

BBB offers the following advice for consumers making online purchases:
•Beware of any offers that do not accept credit cards and ask you to purchase a MoneyPak and provide a MoneyPak number in an e-mail or over the phone.
•Reloadable cash cards like Green Dot MoneyPak and other methods of cash transfers like MoneyGram and Western Union should never be used to send money to anyone you do not know. These types of payments are virtually impossible to trace, and there is a good chance you will lose your money.

Here is what the scammers say on the fake site:
We process our customers Green Dot MoneyPak payments through PayPal. However, WE DON'T ACCEPT DIRECT PAYPAL PAYMENT DUE A HIGH CHARGEBACK RISK.
MoneyPak is a safe and secure way to send money to where you need it. The MoneyPak works as a "cash top-up card". Once you purchase it at a participating retailer with cash, you can use it to reload prepaid cards, add money to a PayPal account without using a bank account, or make same-day payments to different companies.
You can add any amount from $20 to $500 onto a MoneyPak at most retailers. You can add up to $1,100 at Walmart.
MoneyPak can be purchased at thousands of stores nationwide, including major retailers such as Walmart, Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy, 7-Eleven,Rite Aid, Kmart, Kroger and Meijer. Click here to find a store near you.
Pick up a MoneyPak from the Prepaid Product Section or Green Dot display and take it to the register. The cashier will collect your cash and load it onto the MoneyPak.
MoneyPak costs $4.95 or less. There are no hidden fees or charges. Just purchase your MoneyPak, use cash to load it and you are ready to go.
