Allegro Medical Inc. (Stolen Identity) This is just a standard serial Russian/Ukrainian scam website that has been set up to form a front for a money laundering job advertisement. The MO and the details clearly link this criminal to many other frauds, including Diamond-Exchange Inc., Silver Services Inc., Active Solutions Inc., Silver Finance Inc. and latterly Platinum Funds., Webeca Payments Inc., Neweca Payments Inc., Med Payments Inc., Paymate Solutions Inc., Den Payments Inc., scam plus a few others in there somewhere. The website domain allegro-medical.net has only been registered recently for a one year period, their modified website is clearly stolen from the genuine Medical Payment Solutions company, the fake Allegro Medical Inc. are not registered as a company in their supposed country of location, (Finland), their contact details are bogus and they have no web presence whatsoever due to a robots.txt file blocking all search engine access to their website. The purpose of the website is simply to lend an air of legitimacy to the inevitable spamvertised illegal money mule function of 'Transfer Manager' that will get your bank account closed, your assets frozen, lose you a lot of money and could cost you your liberty - don't be tempted. The criminal has alternate identical aliases of My Health Direct Inc., Medical Direct Inc., Medical Finance Inc., World Medical Payments Inc., Medical Payments Inc., Med Finance Flow Inc., Medical Payment Solutions Inc. (Stolen Identity), CentroMed Finance Inc., Healthcare Payments Inc., MedFinance Inc. and Noir Medical Inc. (Stolen Identity), V-Medical Payments Inc., MyMobile Medical Inc. and Smith Medical Inc. - this is quite clearly a prolific serial Eastern European fraudster with numerous previous aliases. The domain whois details directly link these crooks to other fraudsters including 24 Hour Express Service, Crampton Investments, and Proteus Solutions. See This Washington Post article for background information on these criminals.

Allegro Medical Inc. : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) The Allegro Medical Inc. 'About Us' page states "Having gained a sustainable experience in medical service management and billing , Allegro Medical Inc. targets at increasing cash flow, minimizing bad debt, reducing the cost of collections and boosting patient satisfaction. It is implemented by applying its new generation web-based payment services with a wide range of payment options and essential account management", but their website domain allegro-medical.net was only registered with Bizcn.com, Inc. (R1248-LROR) on 08-Mar-2010 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year. A clear indication of a fraud domain.

ii) Stolen website - their website is a modified stolen copy of this Medical Payment Solutions website apart from the location details. Clear evidence of site theft and fraud.

iii) This Washington Post article details the activities of these serial criminals - irrefutable evidence of fraud.

iv) They are supposedly a company registered and located in Finland, but they are not - a search of the Finnish BIS (Business Information System) shows that there is no such company as "Allegro Medical Inc." registered in Finland - check for yourself - it is undeniably a fake company, (the suffic "Inc." wouldn't be used in Finland anyway - typical suffixes would be OY or OYJ). - irrefutable evidence of fraud.

v) A Google search shows absolutely no internet presence at all for this particular fake "Allegro Medical Inc." which is not surprising as the criminals are using a robots.txt file to block all search engine access to their website - only a fraudulent website would do that. Not to be confused with a genuine company of the same name.

vi) Another alias, another set of fake Finnish Website Contact Details - v. similar to their previous aliases. (As the crooks are not a registered company in Finland, these details are not going to be genuine):

Allegro Medical Inc.
Huopalahdentie 11, Helsinki, Finland, 00350
Phone: +358 941 32 127
E-mail: David@allegro-medical.net

• - A Google search on the address of "Huopalahdentie 11, Helsinki, Finland" returns absolutely nothing for these crooks.
• - A Google Maps search on the address of "Huopalahdentie 11, Helsinki, Finland" also returns nothing for these criminals.
• - A Google search for the telephone number "+358 941 32 127" returns no results.

All clear evidence of fake details and fraud.

For typical spam and response, see the previous identical alias, Smith Medical Inc.

Work for Allegro Medical Inc.

# Why does your Company require Financial Managers ?

As far as we make transactions with help of individual Financial Managers via Instant Money Transfer Systems, such as Western Union or Money Gram, we avoid imposition of taxes on our funds. To put it in simpler words, we pay taxes to our local authorities before funds are transferred to your bank account. In addition, it is not required to indicate these profits in your tax declaration. However, if you prefer to pay taxes by your own means, it is not restricted (contact our support service to get additional information). But you should note that transactions marked as “commercial” have a smaller volume and require more time and efforts to be processed. This is why we always recommend our Managers to indicate these transfers as “personal”, as if they were forwarded to your friend or relative.

# Where can I get my check cashed-out ?

1) You cash-out your check in Wal-Mart stores for a small fee
2) ACE Cash Express - www.acecashexpress.com
3) You cash-out your check in some grocery and retail stores
4) Speedy cash - www.speedycash.com
5) Advance America Cash Advance - http://www.advanceamerica.net/
6) You cash-out your check in your bank or in the bank which has issued that check.

Our company will undertake for the all check-cashing fees.

# Describe my duties and responsibilities. Why don't you make your transactions by your own means and reserve the commission ?

Once our customer has made a payment to your bank account or sent you a check, you will have to visit your bank and get this money cashed-out. As soon as you get cash exceeding $2,000 you might proceed to the final step. In order to complete transaction you will have to visit Money Gram or Western Union office. Sometimes it is required to transfer money via Wire Transfer Systems instead of Instant Money Transfer Systems. We will provide you with full receiver’s information for every transaction.

Our company is engaged in the business of medical payment processing. Average order amounts USD 100-300. Some of our customers prefer to pay by checks.
When our customer forwards a check to our office in Helsinki, Finland, it usually takes 7 days to be delivered to us, through a complex logistics system.
It also takes much money and time for us to cash-out US check here, in Finland.
If our customer prefers to make payment for orders via Western Union, the transaction becomes very expensive. For small-sized orders of $100-300 the commission fee of Western Union amounts $15-40.
However, the transfer of $2,500 costs just about $125.

For example, if our customer has several orders to be transferred, the separate transfer of them would amount ~ $375.
But single transfer of $2,500 would amount just ~ $125, three times less.
That’s why our customers send payments directly to Finland once the total sum reach value of $3,000.
This transaction system allows us to make our payments faster, make a higher commission for our employees and, at the same time, to earn money.

# How many transfers per day/week/month will I process ?

It depends on the quantity of the orders. It may vary from one transfer per week to several transfers per day. We will inform you of the number of transfers beforehand, as well as of the transfers sent to you.

# When will my commission be increased from 8 % instead of 6 %? What are my perspectives for the career growth?

Initially the commission for all our employees amount 6 %. Further, once you will open an individual checking account for this job, the commission will be increased to 8 %.

# Can I invite my friends?

Yes, of course.

# In what currency should I receive the money? In what currency it should be sent? Is there any necessity to exchange the currency ?

In most cases we make payments in US dollars. You will have to send money in the same currency which you have received. There is no necessity to exchange the currency.

# Who undertakes for compensation of transfer commission? Isn't it too expensive to use Instant Money Transfer Systems, such as Western Union or MoneyGram? Will it be deducted from my commission?

Our company will undertake for all the costs related with money transfers. Absolutely nothing can be deducted from your commission; your commission will be exactly equal to the agreed one (during the first month your commission will amount 6 % of total transfers made via your account).

# You asked to send my ID by fax message, but it doesn’t operate. What should I do?

Our fax is always online, so it seems that the problem is in your fax. If you can't fax your ID, you still might scan it and send it via e-mail. If you do not have a scanner you can visit your nearest cyber cafe for help.

# I want to get your company's contract sealed and signed by CEO.

We shall provide it to you at your first request.

# Is it legal?

Yes, our business is absolutely legal. We have documentation which proves it.

# I don't have higher education degree in financial sphere, is it important ?

No, you can learn how to work with transfers. We are always ready to help you.

# Do you work in the USA only ?

We work with major countries round the whole world.

# What would happen if I receive check with non-sufficient funds, canceled check, or bad checks ?

Our company undertakes for refund of checks with non-sufficient funds, canceled checks, or bad checks. However, such situation are very rare to happen.

# What does the amount of payments depend on?

It depends on your work solely. If you transfer money promptly and without any delays you will receive your next bank transfer or check immediately after you’ve sent the previous one. Everything depends on your own efforts; you may expect to receive up to 5-6 transfers or checks per week.

# How often and how will I be paid?

You will deduct your commission directly from each processed payment. This means that you will be paid the same day you transfer the payment.

# Are there any fees or payments to start this work?

No fees are included in orders to start and perform the work. All is required is your personal computer with Internet access. This is your best opportunity to start working as a telecommuter.

viii) You do not get a clearer description of the ILLEGAL money mule function of accepting stolen funds to your personal bank account and transferring a balance back to the criminals via Western Union than that - it will lose you a lot of money, get your bank account closed and your assets frozen and earn you a visit from the police. Do not be tempted or you will certainly regret it.

ix) No legitimate company would advertise for private citizens to operate as unlicensed and illegal money transfer agents. To do so clearly defines this fake company as both criminal and fraudulent. There is also a 'phishing' for identity theft aspect due to the nature of identity proof usually requested upon registration. Clear evidence of criminal fraud.
