ATN Services is a pretty standard money laundering mule spamvertising website that exists solely to lend legitimacy to the inevitable clear money mule bogus job that exists under the 'Vacancies' tab. They claim on their website 'About Us' page "ATN-Services was founded in February, 2001" but their website domain atn-services.net was only registered  with ANO REGIONAL NETWORK INFORMATION CENTER DBA RU on 07-Aug-2008 - clear evidence of misrepresentation and fraud. On the same page they also claim: "Every day throughout our family of companies, our associates exhibit the highest level of initiative that has made us one of America's most recognized names in financial services." yet they have absolutely no Google web presence, (not even their own website as I write this). Further clear evidence of fraud.

Detailed Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) 
They claim on their website 'About Us' page "ATN-Services was founded in February, 2001" but their website domain atn-services.net was only registered  with ANO REGIONAL NETWORK INFORMATION CENTER DBA RU on 07-Aug-2008 - clear evidence of misrepresentation and fraud.

iii) That is a crystal clear part time, work at home ILLEGAL money mule function that will get your bank account closed, your assets frozen, earn you a visit from the police and possibly a criminal record. Do not be tempted. It is irrefutable evidence of criminal fraud.


iv) No legitimate company would advertise for private citizens to operate as unlicensed and illegal money transfer agents. To do so clearly defines the company ATN Services as both criminal and fraudulent. There is also a 'phishing' for identity theft aspect due to the nature of identity proof requested, e.g: 'Passport, National ID Card or a Driver's license.' Clear evidence of criminal fraud.

v) Ripoff Report relating to this fraudster

vi) Fake Contact Details from the website:

ATN Services Inc.
8 NE 9th St.
Miami, FL 33132
USA
Call for Directions:
1-877-884-0067
International Phone:

E-mail Support:

• -
A Google search for the address "8 NE 9th St. Miami, FL" gives no hits apart from a '
Ripoff Report' relating to this criminal.
• - A USPS zipcode check shows why there are no hits for the above address - the search returns the error message "The address you provided is not recognized by the US Postal Service as an address we serve. Mail sent to this address may be returned." It is not recognised by the USPS - it is clearly a fake address.

vii) A Florida state business search for ATN Services shows that this particular company is not registered in Florida, (there is an inactive company of that name at a different registered address but it was dissolved in 2002 - it is clearly unrelated). This company is a fake company. Clear evidence of fraud.

viii) The company claims to be an American company located in Florida, yet the website domain is registered with a Russian registrar and the website is hosted by a Russian host.

The above evidence is clear proof that the ATN Services website is a fraudulent website set up by criminals with intent to deceive and defraud. 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.
