Advertising International Company scam

Advertising International Company Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

This fraudster should not be confused with any other company that may have the same or a similar name. The website graphics and the fraud evidence below identify this criminal and this criminal alone with no reference to any other company. The website content has been stolen from a genuine website.

Advertising International Company Screenshot - 24-Nov-2009

Advertising International Company is a money mule fraud job spamvertising website. The above home page content has clearly been stolen from here with the last paragraph stolen from here. Such site theft is in itself clear evidence of criminal fraud, but the real purpose of the website is to lend an air of legitimacy to the inevitable spam campaign intended to recruit money mules. The intention is clearly spelt out in the left-hand pane of the above acreenshot which displays a clear illegal money mule function.

Despite the above claims of a long history, and supreme position in the market, the criminal's website domain financial-aic.com was only registered with the MISK.COM, INC. on 26-mar-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year, (bogus whois details redacted). This criminal is hosted on the same fraud IP address (113.105.152.33) as the Moonbeam Logistics, Inc. and Fender Group scammers and other frauds - the IP is a nest of criminal domains. The criminals have no web presence, their location details are bogus and they are not a registered company. In other words just a standard every day criminal fraud website created using stolen content to fool the unwary into applying for a criminal 'job' with them.

Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) You'll notice in the above screenshot that they state "Our Advertising Company is one of the largest and most experienced owners and operators of outdoor advertising structures in the United States and Russia. By combining innovation, high-quality products and strategic growth, we have been meeting the challenges of helping advertisers to successfully reach their target audiences since 1908", (Text stolen from this Lamar Advertising site and modified to suit the crook's requirements), yet their website domain financial-aic.com was only registered with MISK.COM, INC. on 26-mar-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year. A clear indication of a fraudulent registration.

ii) Despite their above extravagant claims, a Google search for "Advertising International Company" shows that it's all moonshine - their fake company has no genuine web presence. Not to be confused with other companies of the same fairly generic name.

iii) Their website content has stolen from the genuine Lamar Advertising site and modified to suit the crook's requirements as is self evident.

iv) A history of fraud and another alias.

v) The fake website Contact Details:

Office Addresses:

Cambridge
90 Sherman Street
Cambridge, MA 02140
USA
T: (617) 374-5823 / (800) 775-8553
F: (617) 661-2583
E-mail: support@financial-aic.com

• - A Google search for the address "90 Sherman Street, Cambridge, MA" returns no results for these criminals
• - A Google Maps Business search for the address "90 Sherman Street, Cambridge, MA" also returns no results for these criminals - they are not a listed business at that address.‎
• - A Google search for the telephone number "(617) 374-5823" returns the criminals own fake website, of course, (that's bound to show up), but also shows that the number is also being used by another clear money mule fraud website operated by the same criminal, using the same website content - Financial Management International Company and also shows that the criminal had a previous domain, advic.org, which has been suspended.
• - A Google search for the Fax. number "(617) 661-2583" returns the criminals own fake website, of course, (that's bound to show up), but also shows that the number is also being used by another clear money mule fraud website operated by the same criminal, using the same website content - Financial Management International Company.

The contact details are clearly fake, not surprising, considering:

vi) There is no company by the name of Advertising International Company registered in the Massachusetts state business register - irrefutable evidence of a fake company.

same day or the following morning!
