1K Management home page screenshot (10-Jul-2009):

This fraudster should not be confused with any other company that may have the same or a similar name. The website graphics and the evidence below identify this criminal and this criminal alone.

1K Management is part of a huge Russian money laundering criminal network that has dozens of aliases, among them being Promo Invest, Transfer Invest Inc., E-Investment Projects, E-Investments Provider Inc., K-Investment Group, EU Investment Solutions, EURO Investment Solutions, AFC Financial Services, AIF Investment Consulting, etc etc etc. It's the usual glossy website set up deliberately to lure the unwary into the world of money laundering fraud. It's an identical follow on scam to Browncorp Financial Services and American Finance among others with the usual identical money mule job advertised and the usual recently registered domain 1k-management.com (BIZCN.COM, INC. on 22-Jun-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain minimum period of only one year). Their location details are fake and they are not a registered company at their supposed locations of Germany and California. If you would like to see a few more of this serial criminal's aliases, try this Google search for "the competence of leading consultants" from the above screenshot.

Evidence of Spamming and Criminal Fraud:

i) On the 'About Us' page of their website the criminals claim: "1K Management company was founded in 2006 and obtained a license for activity engaging at the same time". However their domain 1k-management.com was only registered with BIZCN.COM, INC. on 22-Jun-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain minimum period of only one year. Clear evidence of misrepresentation and fraud.

ii) A Google search for "1K Management" shows that they have absolutely no web presence, (ignoring their own fake website, of course) - only fraud site listings and evidence of job website spamming.

iii) The payload of the site is a clear illegal money laundering mule job under the 'Jobs For You' tab, under the heading 'Vacancies':

iv) That is the usual crystal clear money mule function that will get your bank account closed, your assets frozen, earn you a visit from the police and possibly a criminal record. Do not be tempted. It is also the identical job as posted on many of the criminal's previous aliases as listed above.


v) No legitimate company would advertise for private citizens to operate as unlicensed and illegal money transfer agents. To do so clearly defines the company 1K Management as both criminal and fraudulent. There is also a 'phishing' for identity theft aspect due to the nature of identity proof requested, i.e. 'Passport, National ID Card or a Driver's license.' Clear evidence of criminal fraud.
