This fraudster should not be confused with any other company that may have the same or a similar name. The website graphics and the evidence below identify this criminal and this criminal alone.

Approved Finance Solutions is part of a huge Russian money laundering criminal network that has dozens of aliases, among them being Promo Invest, Transfer Invest Inc., E-Investment Projects, E-Investments Provider Inc., K-Investment Group, EU Investment Solutions, EURO Investment Solutions, AFC Financial Services, AIF Investment ConsultingBrowncorp Financial Services etc etc etc. It's the usual glossy website set up deliberately to lure the unwary into the world of money laundering fraud. Their website content has been stolen from the company Reliant Financial Consulting. That much is self evident and clear evidence of site theft and fraud.
Their website is advertising the usual 'cloaked' part-time, work from home money mule position, their domains, fappsolutions.com and solfinapproved.com were only registered very recently for the usual criminal's domain minimum period of one year and they have no internet presence, (apart from their own fake websites, of course).
Their location details are fake and they are not a registered company in their supposed state of California. They are clearly a fraudulent company.

They are hosted by the host of many of these criminals, Cayman British Islands Offshore Network on IP address 78.129.166.10. This Russian linked host, (a client of Rapidswitch.com), has an IP block that appears to be almost solely occupied by thieves, fraudsters, spammers, hackers and pornographers.

Evidence of Spamming and Criminal Fraud:

i) On the 'About Us' page of their website the criminals claim: "Approved Finance Solutions has been providing accounting and finance consulting services since 1998". However their two domains fappsolutions.com and solfinapproved.com were both registered with Enom, INC.(Rustelekom) on 07-May-2009 for the usual criminal's minimum domain period of one year. Clear evidence of misrepresentation and fraud.

ii) A Google search for "Approved Finance Solutions" shows absolutely no web presence for these criminals apart from their own fake websites. (Not to be confused with other companies of the same name).

iii) The payload of the site is the usual part-time, work from home job under the 'Career' tab:

E-mail to: hr@fappsolutions.com

iv) As is often the case these days, that is a 'cloaked' job, (you only get the full details when you apply), but given that it is a part-time, work from home position and given the clear criminal nature of the fake, unregistered company, bogus location details and the recently registered website it does not need a great deal of imagination to realise that the job is equally as fraudulent as the company.


v) Bogus contact Details from the website:

Contact Info
Approved Finance Solutions

958 El Sobrante Road
Corona, CA 91719

Phone: (951) 547-2436
Fax: (888) 404-9857

Email: info@fappsolutions.com

• - A Google search for the address "958 El Sobrante Road, Corona, CA" shows other companies at that address, but no evidence that these crooks are there.
• - A Google Maps business listing for the address does not list these crooks.
• - The telephone number (951) 547-2436 locates to Los Angeles and not Corona CA.

vi) Approved Finance Solutions are not registered in the California state company register - Clear, verifiable evidence of a fake company - check for yourself.

The above evidence is clear proof that the Approved Finance Solutions website is a fraudulent website set up with intent to deceive. 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 invariably 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.
