Has been hacked by scammers using a Google Checkout scam at:
http://www.4ff.co.uk/images/icons/site/index.html

This could be due to an insecure password used by the company or the scammers got one of the employees to answer a phishing email which discloses the user name and passwords of the site.

Here are images of the fake site nested amongst the files of the legitimate site:

Here is some text from the fake site:

1. Buyer and Seller Agree to Terms

• Both parties agree to terms, which include a description of the vehicle, sale price and number of days granted for the Buyer's inspection.

2. Buyer Pays Google Checkout

• The Buyer submits their payment to Google Checkout.
• Once received, the payment will be verified and secured into a non-interest bearing trust account.

3. Seller Ships the Vehicle

• Upon payment verification, the Seller is authorized to ship the vehicle and submit tracking information.
• Google Checkout verifies that the Buyer receives the shipment.
• The inspection period begins once the vehicle is delivered.

4. Buyer Accepts the Vehicle

• During the Buyer Inspection Period, Buyer shall either: (1) Accept the vehicle and follow all further instructions to complete acceptance of the vehicle. Google Checkout will pay the Seller the purchase price; or (2) Reject the vehicle and follow any further instructions to complete the rejection of the vehicle.

5. Buyer Rejection Process

• During the Buyer Inspection Period, Buyer may reject the vehicle. In such case, the Buyer shall follow all other instructions to properly reject the vehicle. Upon such rejection, Google Checkout will contact the Seller informing the Seller about the Buyer's decision to reject and return the vehicle.

6. Payment Process

• All deposits for vehicles in Escrow (provided by Google Checkout) should be submitted within maximum 24 hours from receipt of our payment terms. Failure to do so will result in the Escrow transaction being cancelled.

payment-support-department-inc.com FRAUD

http://www.payment-support-department-inc.com/  FAKE FRAUD SCAM

Scammer is using the email:
ebay@payment-support-department-inc.com

I received this information from an intended victim:

This 2002 GMC Yukon Denali AWD with 93.060 miles, has no leaks or drips and has never been smoked in. This truck has been extremely well maintained with a full service history .I am the second owner of this truck.I bought it when I was serving in Fort Lauderdale and is slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions with a clear title free of encumbrances and liens.
I have dropped my price to $2800.00 since I need to sell it before 16 November,when I will be deployed in Afghanistan with my platoon replacing the troops scheduled to come home.
If you're interested to conclude this purchase in a timely manner email me your; FULL NAME and SHIPPING ADDRESS PHONE NUMBER to open a case with eBay's Buyer Protection Program and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure. The financial part will be managed by them, which means that you will have a 7 days inspection period before committing to buy the vehicle. In this way both, buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Corporal Cole Hudson

The real reason the price is $2800 is because Western Union and MoneyGram have a limit of $3000 for transactions.
The price plus fees will be under that amount.

To play like a pro you need Skill , For Skill need Brain

Here is Adrian's new sitewww.klm-trans.com
Today I was going through my list of possible fraud domains and came upon a newley registered one.
http://www.klm-cargotrans.com/
The domain now contains an overly used scam template (images below)
I did a whois search on it and reviewed the data.
http://whois.domaintools.com/klm-cargotrans.com
I was quickly able to determine the account is fraud for these reasons:
klm-cargotrans.com would have nothing to do with the legitimate company KLM, which merged with AirFrance since they already have web sites.
Next the whois data lists a person who lives in PEVELY, 63070, DE.
We all know Pevely isn't in Germany, its in Missouri.
The next step is to look at the other registration data.
The contact email given for the registrant is:
vnoob@yahoo.com
A quick Google search indicates the email address belongs to someone who refers to himself as:
VeVeRuTz
A further look reveals this person lives in Valcea, Romania.

flexible-shipping.com FRAUD

http://www.flexible-shipping.com/  FAKE FRAUD SCAM

Is a fake site run by a Romanian scammer.
The site is a spoof of the real shipping site located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida:
http://www.flexinternationalshipping.com/

The fake company is supposedly located in:
Seattle, Washington

Here are some images of the fake site:

Remember, there is NO SUCH THING in real life as a shipping and escrow company.

Here is some text from the fake site:

Buyer-Seller Services     
How it works
Flexible Shipping Inc. offers a transfer service for the transfer of the vehicles title from the seller to the buyer. The main advantage of this service for the seller is that the buyer does not have possession of the title prior to the seller receiving the payment for the vehicle.
The main advantage of this service for the buyer is that the buyer can verify that the seller's title for the vehicle is on hand with an independent party, Flexible Shipping Inc., prior to releasing the payment for the vehicle to the seller.

Title Transfer Service

 
 Below is an outline of the Flexible Shipping Inc. title transfer process: 
 The buyer and seller agree to use the Flexible Shipping Inc. transfer service for title transfer.
 The seller sends the vehicles title signed over to the buyer to Flexible Shipping Inc.. The title should arrive at Flexible Shipping Inc. along with the vehicle.
 Once the seller received payment for the vehicle, the seller is required to contact Flexible Shipping Inc. within 24 hours to authorize the release of the title to the buyer.
 Flexible Shipping Inc. gives the title to the buyer and takes care of the paperwork that needs to be done for registration etc.

Payment Transfer Service

In response to numerous customer requests, Flexible Shipping Inc. now offers an optional independent third party transfer service. The majority of our shipping customers are purchasing or selling a vehicle and are looking for a means to transfer the payment for the vehicle from the buyer to the seller. The main advantage of this service for the buyer is that the seller does not have possession of both the vehicle and the buyers funds at the same time. The main advantage of this service for the seller is that the seller can verify that the buyers payment for the vehicle is on hand with an independent party, Flexible Shipping Inc., prior to releasing the vehicle to the shipper.
 
 Below is an outline of the Flexible Shipping Inc. payment transfer process: 
 The buyer and seller agree to use Flexible Shipping Inc. for payment transfer.
 The buyer transfer the funds to Flexible Shipping Inc. in order to begin the shipping procedures and take the vehicle of the market. The funds should arrive at Flexible Shipping Inc. within 24 hours. Please contact us for payment terms and details needed.
 Upon receipt of the funds, Flexible Shipping Inc. notifies the seller that the funds are on hand with Flexible Shipping Inc..
 Flexible Shipping Inc. ship the vehicle , a tracking number will be provided to the buyer.
 Flexible Shipping Inc. will only release the funds to the seller upon notification by the buyer after the standard 5 days inspection period (not the seller). Flexible Shipping Inc. is responsible for verifying the pick up and delivery of the vehicle.
 After the buyer has inspected the vehicle and agreed to buy it,  Flexible Shipping Inc. sends the funds to the seller and takes care for the buyer of the paperwork that needs to be done for registration etc.

 
Flexible Shipping Inc. TRANSFER SERVICE FEE
The charge for the Flexible Shipping Inc. transfer service is included in the shipping fees.
 
Flexible Shipping Inc. DETAILS
Flexible Shipping Inc. transfer service is like an escrow service. Flexible ShippingInc. is guarantying the validity of the funds or title we receive from the buyer or seller in any way.  Flexible ShippingInc. is simply providing an independent third party transfer service, which means we assist with the transfer of funds between the buyer and the seller. Receipt of agreement by Flexible ShippingInc. from either the buyer or seller for the payment and/or title transfer service, confirms that both the buyer and seller agree to use these services and that both the buyer and seller concur with the terms and conditions of these services.
