abc-transonline.com FRAUD

http://www.abc-transonline.com/ FAKE FRAUD SCAM

This fake shipping and escrow site uses a template that has 290 entries on the Escrow-Fraud.com
(...remember there is no such thing in real life as a shipping and escrow company.)
See them here:
http://escrow-fraud.com/index.php?page=gallery&layout=30
The template is commonly used by Romanian scammers.

The fraud site is being hosted in Italy by TECHNORAIL.COM and is being charged to the stolen credit card of someone in Royal Palm Beach, Florida:
http://whois.domaintools.com/abc-transonline.com
The email address used to register the fraud account was created on:

Member since: 03/01/2011
http://pulse.yahoo.com/kkkmmm523872

Now for some history on that template.
Years ago when I first became familiar with this design, I did Google Searches using the names of the "agents" on the page:
http://www.abc-transonline.com/agents.htm
The women who's names and images are on that page are current and former employees of this legitimate Real Estate Escrow company in California:
http://www.pickfordescrow.com/index.html
The company stopped posting images of their employees, gee....wonder why.......

Here are some images from the fraud site:

fitnessclearancestock.com SCAM

http://www.fitnessclearancestock.com/  FAKE FRAUD SCAM

This site is another in the series of fake sites asking for payment using Green Dot/MoneyPak debit cards.
Buyers are not secure because once the scammer gets his money, you cannot recover the funds.
MoneyPak tells you this here:
https://www.moneypak.com/
"Treat your MoneyPak number just like cash. Only use MoneyPak with approved partners and companies you know and trust. Never give the number to a private individual or to pay for items purchased from classified ads. This product is not a bank account and funds are not insured. Once you give the number and the money is sent, Green Dot cannot provide refunds."

The major problem is that victims are often in a hurry to send their money to scammers and neglect to read warnings, after all, all good little victims do what the scammers tell them.....

Outlets that sell Green Dot and MoneyPak cards often don't bother to pass the warnings on to intended victims.
The same situations are true for victims of Western Union and MoneyGram transfers.
It should be standard proceedure for outlets selling these services to have disclaimers which victims should read and sign. It would save a lot of heartache and help to reduce fraud.
The problem with that is the companies involved would lose millions of dollars in fees.
These failures leave the consumer at risk for fraud.

Previous sites posted on this blog start here:
http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2011/02/homefitnessmartcom-scam.html

Here are images of the fake site:



Here are some of the scammer's instructions for victims:

NOTICE: All new customers please choose GreenDot MoneyPak as Payment Option. Processing time is instant and your order will be shipped sooner. After your payment is validated and your order delivered, GoogleCheckout will be enabled for your account. Thank you for your understanding.

Shop With Confidence: Green Dot keeps records of all transactions ran through their MoneyPak system, this way they can track and protect the purchase. Make sure you have your receipt ready before calling Green Dot Customer Service. 

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR MONEYPAK PAYMENTS: DO NOT PURCHASE ANY GREEN DOT PREPAID DEBIT CARD, our company process payments using own payment system. If you load the Moneypak(s) on a Green Dot Debit Card or PayPal we will not be able to validate your order. 

Here are some "inside shots"

The scammers are also asking intended victims to share personal information by requesting copies of driver's licenses, credit or debit cards and water, phone or utility bills.
Would you do that?
I hope not!!!

How DonDominio enables scammers

ebay-purchase-program.com
(a fraud domain)
was recently registered and is currently being hosted by:
http://www.dondominio.com/  http://whois.domaintools.com/dondominio.com

That in itself is not unusual, as you can see by the list of spoof sites here:
http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2010/04/spoof-sites.html
It is quite common for registrars and web hosts to allow fake sites to be on their servers.

The thing that is notable about ebay-purchase-program.com, is the fact that it was allowed to be registered using the data that is presented in the whois for the domain.

Not only did this web host, SOLUCIONES CORPORATIVAS IP,SLU
aka DonDominio allow a fake site to be hosted on its servers, it allowed the scammers to use eBay's real name and location to be used in the obviously invalid whois data.

To make matters worse, the web host has allowed the fake site to be registered to a defunct fake site:
secure-buyer-protection.com
http://whois.domaintools.com/secure-buyer-protection.com

That domain is mentioned in a scam here:
