AUCSTRADE Inc. Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

AUCSTRADE Inc. screenshot 20-Sep-2008

This fraud should not be confused with any other company of the same or similar name - the above website screenshot and the following fraud evidence define and refer to this fake company alone and no other.

AUCSTRADE Inc is just another fake financial site used as a vehicle for money laundering/reshipping fraud and phishing for personal details as part of the recruitment process. It appears to be the follow-on fraud from the now shut down KFS-Trading Company fraud. As is usual with these criminals, they claim to have been in operation for years, but their website domain(s) were only registered recently and they advertise the clear twin fraud operations of 'Reshipping Donkey' and 'Money Laundering Mule' jobs on the website. They are not a registered company, their location/contact details are easily demonstrated to be fake and a Google search on "AUCSTRADE" shows no internet presence apart from fraud website listings.

Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) From the above home page: "AUCSTRADE Company was founded in the beginning of 2000". However, the fraudster's domain aucstrade.com was only registered with MONIKER ONLINE SERVICES, INC. on 28-apr-2008. Clear evidence of fraudulent misrepresentation.

ii) A Google search for "AUCSTRADE" shows that they have no internet presence at all apart from their own website and numerous listings on various fraud sites.

iii) The website carries the following clear money mule criminal solicitation of "Finance Correspondence Assistant/Manager" and the clear reshipping donkey solicitation of "Correspondence Assistant" both under the 'Job Offer' tab:

iv) You do not get a much clearer definition of the illegal part time money mule function than that, followed by a crystal clear reshipping fraud position. That advertisement on its own defines the company without doubt as criminal and bogus and is clear evidence of criminal fraud.

v) No legitimate company is going to advertise for this sort of illegal part time, 'work from home' money transfer position among the untrained, inexperienced and uncertified general population overseas, nor is it going to advertise for a similar position forwarding parcels which inevitably consist of stolen goods. Do not be tempted - such a job will get your bank account and your assets frozen and will earn you a criminal record.

• - The address 2271 Broadway, New York, NY 10028 is a branch of MacDonalds and not these crooks
• - According to the USPS zip code lookup The zip code for that address should be 10024 and not 10028
• - The company is not registered in the NY state business register, nor is it listed in the French company register - it is a fake company.
• - The French address of "198, Le Bouvier - 71 160 street" is clearly bogus - since when did the French use 'street' in their addresses?
• - As for the Latvian address - it is also clearly bogus, no such Latvian city of "Monteanapolis" exists and the postcode appears to be a fake UK one. (Latvian post codes consist of letters LV plus four digits, e.g. LV-xxxx. If code is in Riga then it is in interval 1000 - 2000. Outside Riga codes are bigger than 2000.)
I've never seen a more clearly bogus set of location details - clear evidence of fraud.

viii) This is a Rip-Off Report on the fake company.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the AUCSTRADE Inc website has been set up by money laundering criminals purely for the purpose of spamvertising an illegal money laundering 'mule' job and a 'reshipping donkey' job laundering stolen goods. 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 activity - 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.
