Allston Group Inc scam. This is just the latest of the numerous highly generic Easter European 'Group Inc.' scam websites that has been set up to form a front for a money laundering fraud job spamming campaign. It's a bit slicker than most but at the end of the day its function is to con you into believing that they are a legitimate company when the evidence clearly demonstrates that they are crooks. It's an identical scam to Epayment Solutions, Emarket Solutions Inc., Legal Operations Inc., Secure Operations Inc., Oranta Group Inc., Ketler Group Inc., Profit Financing Inc., Logic Group Inc., Maxi Group Inc., Fair Group, Fartex Group, MGPA Group Inc., Sky Group Inc., Idea Group Inc., Air Group Inc., Ideal Group Inc., Capital Group Inc., Fox Group Inc., Ebusiness Group Inc., Onicks Group Inc., Multi Group Inc., Single Group, DDK Group Inc., EFS Capital Group Inc., Eagle Group Inc. FCB Group Inc., TDK Group Inc., Ecos Group Inc., BBM Group Inc., Veston Group Inc., BCG Group Inc., Flar Group Inc., Ward Group Inc., Highway Group Inc., Wescom Group Inc., Spread Group Inc, United Group Inc., Entrust Group Inc, Puritan Group Inc, Vision Group Inc, Nvidia Group Inc, Alt Group Inc, MAC Group Inc, Dream Group Inc., ITS Group Inc, Pacific Group Inc, Aurora Group Inc, Render Group Inc, Citizen Group Inc, SPACE Group Inc, Golden Gate Inc, Celerity Group Inc, Synapse Group Inc, Optimus Group Inc, Fincore Group Inc and the Point Group Inc fraudsters among many others - clear evidence of a serial scammer. Numerous other aliases can be found by this search or this search of my site for "Group Inc". The website carries a clear money mule solicitation, (which is the sole reason for the site), their multiple domains were only registered very recently, they are not a registered company, their fake management team is the same as previous aliases and all their contact and location details are bogus.

Allston Group Inc : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Allston Group Inc make absolutely no claims whatsoever about when they were founded or how long they have been in operation, (although you will notice that the fake 'Alan Garner' below "has been working for the company since 2001"), but their domain allstongroupinc.tw was only registered with OnlineNic.com on 12-Jan-2010 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year. A clear indication of a fraud domain. [See table below for further fraud domains, all registered recently for one year only].

ii) They claim to be located in Brooklyn, NY, but a webcheck shows that this particular Allston Group Inc at the registered address are not registered in the New York state business register. Check for yourself.

iii) The usual suspects...this fake 'Management Team' with stock photos and differing names has been a feature of a large number of their previous scams (Google search for "creator of unique financial flows management schemes repeatedly awarded" from the text below to see a few. Irrefutable evidence of a serial criminal fraudster.

Management Team

His responsibility is to promote "Allston Group Inc" brand in the global business community. A great number of his ideas were taken into account by many large companies of the world. His publications are recommended for study in many universities.

iv) A Google search shows no genuine internet presence at all for this particular "Allston Group Inc", apart from their own multiple fraud sites that pop up, of course. Not to be confused with other genuine companies of the same name.

v) Another crystal clear Russian/Ukrainian fraud and yet another set of fake Location Details (copied from their website)

(Bear in mind that these crooks are not a legally registered business entity in New York state at the address below so their location and contact details are not going to be genuine)

Main Address:
Office Suites
7520 Ridge Blvd
Suite 3G
Brooklyn, NY 11209
USA

Tel: 1-347-329-5314
Fax: 1-347-342-3107

• - A Google Search for the address "7520 Ridge Blvd Suite 3G Brooklyn, NY" returns zero results for these crooks, (ignoring the crooks own fake websites, of course).
• - A Google Maps business search at the street address "7520 Ridge Blvd, Brooklyn, NY" returns zero results for these crooks - it appears to be an apartment block.
• - There are no Google hits for the above telephone number "1-347-329-5314", (ignoring the crooks own fake websites, of course).
• - There are no Google hits for the above Fax. number "1-347-342-3107", (ignoring the crooks own fake websites, of course).
All clear evidence of the usual fake details for this serial fraudster.

vi) Here is the obvious money laundering position of "Payment Processing Assistant" posted on their website:

    * After the Probationary Period completion, invoices will be sent every business day.
    * Since business transfers can be processed with delays, Payment Processing Agents should specify each transfer as a private transaction. This provision is also applicable in case of a third party interest in the transfer.
    * Our clients appreciate our operational efficiency and are ready to pay extra fee for shorter transaction terms. If we manage to deliver goods to buyer within 5 days, the deal is considered to be fulfilled at the earliest possible date.

It's the usual identical job as posted by all of these fraudsters It's a crystal clear ILLEGAL money laundering mule position that will get your bank account and your assets frozen, lose you a lot of money and could earn you a criminal record. Clear evidence of criminal fraud. The "trial period" is all there is - THERE IS NO JOB. It consists of doing 'test transactions' of stolen funds to your bank account and transferring a balance back to these crooks in the Ukraine. It doesn't last a month before the first transfer comes back as fraudulent and the whole house of cards collapses, you've lost all of the money you've transferred, the bank has closed your account(s) and frozen all your assets and the police would like a word with you. DO NOT BE TEMPTED.

vii) No legitimate company is going to spamvertise among the untrained, inexperienced and uncertified general population for a "Payment Processing Assistant" acting as a criminal money transfer agent. It clearly defines the fake Allston Group Inc as a criminal fraud organisation.

viii) The identical illegal job was posted by all the fraudsters other aliases as listed above.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Allston Group Inc 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.
