This fraudster should not be confused with any legitimate company of the same or similar name - the above website graphics clearly identify the fake website and these fraudsters alone. The 'Agrimpex' identity and location details have all been stolen from a genuine company.

Agrimpex Co. (stolen identity) scam. This is a straight criminal fraud operation where criminals have made up a fake website using the name of a completely blameless and genuine UK registered company, (whose location details they have also stolen), and are using this fraud site in a straight commercial fraud operation. Other similar aliases of these criminals are Kell Quip Ltd., UK LEADING AUTO MOTO GARAGE, farm-equipments.net Ltd (Farmers Garage), discountfarm.net Ltd., Central-Garages-Ltd, HPS Motorcycles Ltd., Machinery Garage Ltd, Tractors Agiaffairs Ltd and Tractors Sale Ltd all involved in similar criminal fraud activity and Auto Cargo Co (Global Lines Co), a fake transport company that these criminals often use as a fake 'trusted' third party or 'escrow'. Needless to say, their domain agrimpex-co.netwas only recently registered for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year, their location and contact details are stolen, (as verified with the genuine company of the same name at that address). This fraud seems to be of Eastern-European origin and is covered in depth here.

Agrimpex Co. : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) The criminal's domain agrimpex-co.net was only registered with MELBOURNE IT, LTD. D/B/A INTERNET NAMES WORLDWIDE on 06-sep-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year. A clear indication of a fraudulent registration

ii) The genuine Agrimpex company have been contacted and have given me the following statement "We confirm that we do not at present have a website and moreover are not
connected in anyway with agrimpex-co.net. We agree that this is fraud as they have used our mailing address in their contact section, even though the E-mails, telephone and fax numbers are not ours. In fact the fax and telephone numbers to our knowledge do not exist in the UK." Absolutely irrefutable evidence of fraud.

iii) Fake Contact Details (from their website)

N.B. - I won't publish their location address as this is simply the address of the genuine Agrimpex company:

Telephone: 0044 705 349 2280
FAX: 0044 705 349 2280
E-mail: info@agrimpex-co.net

• - The telephone numbers are non-geographical '0705' personal numbers that can redirect anywhere in the world and are frequently used by these criminals.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Agrimpex Co. identity has been stolen from a genuine company and that their website has been set up by serial fraudsters for the purpose of criminal deception. 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.
