2 Affordable Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

2 Affordable Screenshot - 04-Feb-2009

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

2 Affordable is a 'Purchase Agent' job spamvertising website that is hosted on the same host, same nameservers and same IP as the Global Network Solutions, Ace Rentals and Air Parcel Express fraudsters among others - search my home page with ns1.bdns.co.cr or 115.126.5.50 to see a morecomplete list of this prolific fraudsters aliases. It's an identical follow on fraud to the Shopping Assistance scam and they have an identical alias of Shopping Provider. They make the (illiterate) claim on the above screenshot: "Our company has been build a few years ago", but their domain was only registered in the last few days, they have no web presence, they are advertising a clear purchase agent job and their location details are bogus. In other words just a standard every day criminal fraud website created to fool the unwary into applying for a criminal 'job' with them which consists of using your credit card account to purchase goods which you then ship off to them and they re-imburse your credit card account directly with stolen funds. This means, of course, you have to give these criminal fraudsters your credit card details which I would suggest is not the most brilliant of ideas. The host of this criminal is the frequent host of many of these criminals - HKNTCM-291-091PVT(hknetcom.biz) on IP address 115.126.5.50.

ii) Despite their above claim of being in business for years, a Google search for "2 Affordable" shows that their fake company has no web presence.
