Ace Check Express Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

Ace Check Express Website screenshot:

Ace Check Express, is a clear Russian money mule recruitment website that is stolen from the genuine Ace Cash Express website, in fact the name Ace Cash Express appears throughout the site. There are two main giveaways that it is a fraud website, firstly the website domain acecheckexpress.net was only registered with the Russian registrar ANO REGIONAL NETWORK INFORMATION CENTER DBA RU-Center on the 9th. of July 2008 and secondly the clear money mule job that appears under the 'Join' menu option which will get your bank account and assets frozen, lose you a lot of money and get you a visit from the police. Don't fall for it! The criminal's website is also hosted on a Russian host - Masterhost.ru. There have been previous fraud sites based on a rip-off of the Ace Cash Express website e.g. Ace Checktronic

This fraudster should not be confused with any legitimate company of the same or similar name - the above website graphics and the included money laundering job clearly identify the fake website and these fraudsters. It is nothing to do with Ace Cash Express

Ace Check Express : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Ace Check Express have stolen most of the website content from the genuine Ace Cash Express website, so all their claims relate to the genuine company and as such are irrelevant to this fraudster, but their website domain acecheckexpress.net was only registered with the Russian registrar ANO REGIONAL NETWORK INFORMATION CENTER DBA RU-Center on the 9th. of July 2008 Clear evidence of misrepresentation and fraud.

ii) On their home page, (screenshot), Ace Check Express claim: "ACE Cash Express, Inc. is headquartered in Irving, Texas and is the largest owner, operator and franchiser of check-cashing stores in the United States" That is very true as it has been stolen from the Ace Cash Express website and they haven't even bothered to change the name. However, on this bogus website 'Join' page screenshot they say "We are a company based in Europe. We receive orders from U.S.A. and we need a representative to process the payments due to the delays in clearing checks and money orders in Europe". Clear evidence of fraud.

iii) The above screenshot, (original website text), is a clear illegal money mule function that will get your bank account and your assets frozen and will get you a visit from the police - don't be tempted. No legitimate company would employ unknown private individuals working from home to accept payments into private accounts. This is clear evidence of criminal fraud.

iv) The Jobsite Spam

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Ace Check Express website has been set up by money laundering criminal fraudsters purely for the purpose of spamvertising an illegal money laundering 'mule' job. If you are an abuse team that has received an abuse report regarding these fraudsters, please consider immediate termination of their services in view of the absolutely undeniable evidence of criminal fraud - please don't delay - these criminals will not respond to any communication from you, (all their whois data is false), but will simply take advantage of any attempt at communication as a delaying tactic to allow them time to carry on their criminal activity and prepare their next network.
