Allied Insurance LLC (Allied Group, Inc.) Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

This fraud should not be confused with any other company of the same or similar name - the website screenshot below, (N.B. - stolen from a genuine company), and the following fraud evidence define and refer to this fake company alone and no other.

Allied Insurance LLC Scam : 17th. Oct 2009

Allied Insurance LLC. (Allied Group, Inc.) is just another fake Russian financial site used as a vehicle for money laundering fraud and phishing for personal details as part of the recruitment process. It uses a site stolen from the genuine Continental Insurance (although even their spelling leaves something to be desired, e.g. "unbaised" in the above screenshot). The whole purpose of the website is to lend an air of legitimacy to a money mule recruiting campaign. The criminal's domain alliedint.biz was only very recently registered for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year, they are not a registered company, they have absolutely no genuine web presence and their location and contact details are clearly all bogus.

Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) From their 'About Us' page: "With over 18 years experience in the EU and a large client base, we stand proud as one of the leading players in the financial services arena". However, the fraudster's initial domain alliedint.biz was only registered with ONLINENIC, INC. D/B/A CHINA-CHANNEL.COM on 03-Sep-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year. Clear evidence of fraudulent misrepresentation.

ii) It is self-evident that the criminal's website has been stolen from the Continental Insurance company. The crooks have even left the 'Continental' tab in clear evidence on the stolen copy, (see screenshot above). Some content has been stolen from elsewhere, for example their fake 'founder' text is a 'mix and match' effort stolen from here and here. All clear evidence of fraud.

iii) Allied Insurance LLC is a pretty generic term, and a Google search for "Allied Insurance LLC" shows other companies of that name, but these crooks have no internet presence at all, (ignoring their own fake website, of course).

iv) Unregistered company - There is no recorded registration for "Allied International LLC" or "Allied Group Inc." in the Swiss Federal Company Register of registered company names - clear evidence of a fake company.

v) Unregistered company - There is no recorded registration for "Allied International LLC" or "Allied Group Inc." in the HandelsRegister, (Germany's 'Companies House'). Clear, verifiable evidence of a fake company - check for yourself.

vi) If they were a genuine Swiss or German based company they would not have the suffix "LLC" but AG, SA or GmbH respectively - they are clearly fake.

vii) Fake 'Contact Us' Details from website: (As they are not a registered company in either Switzerland or Germany, these details are bound to be fake).

• - Notice the clearly fake Swiss address - both a PO box number and a mangled physical address. Needless to say, a Google web search for the corrected Swiss address of "Bahnhofstrasse 52, Zurich, Switzerland" fails to return any hits for these obvious crooks, (ignoring any occurrence of the crook's own fake website, of course).
• - A Google Maps business search for the address "Bahnhofstrasse 52, Zurich, Switzerland" also shows that these crooks are not a listed business at that address.
• - The German address is equally mangled, but a Google web search for the corrected address of "Beethovenplatz 1, 60325, Frankfurt" returns no evidence of these criminals at that address.
• - A Google Maps business search for the address "Beethovenplatz 1, 60325, Frankfurt" also shows that these crooks are not a listed business at that address.
• - A Google search for the common Swiss phone and fax. number "+41 44 5062539", (always a sign of a fake company), returns no results for these crooks.
• - Notice that they have the same Fax. number (+41 44 5063539) for Zurich, Geneva and Sweden - clearly fraudulent.
• - The Swedish international dialling code is +46, not +08
• - A Google search for the clearly fake German telephone number "+91 11 4265 1871" (+91 is the country code for India), returns no results for these crooks as it is actually the Indian contact number for the genuine Continental Insurance company - clear evidence of fraud.

You don't get a more clearly fake set of contact details than that.

The RIPE IP Data shows that the listed host for this criminal is LEASEWEB on IP address 85.17.165.132. (However, the nameserver domain holland-dns.com is registered to the Russian host Globoxhost.com so it is likely that is the criminal's real host, using an IP leased from Leaseweb). The IP is also host to mainly Russian domains, including malware domains and porn sites.
