This fraudster should not be
confused with any genuine company with the same or similar name. The
above graphics identify the
fraudulent site & it alone.
Evidence of
Criminal Fraud:
i)
The
criminal's website aliases
all have the same following paragraph of semi-literate Runglish on
their 'About Us' pages (only the crook's
names change): "The Company BBI
Business Finance was established in 1999, when an escalating market
predetermined the urge of great number of companies-importers towards
the complete control of their traffic. Thus, the growing tendency of
upcoming companies and consumers to resort to services of
particularized companies-forwarders created favorable conditions for
the birth of BBI Business Finance. Our aim has always been to protect
our clients against any problems, connected with international delivery
of goods. We do our best to meet all the demands and wishes of our
clients, providing each of them with individual service. We try to find
the best decision for every particular client. The strength of BBI
Business Finance is in our flexibility and efficiency. We are able to
import any freight, from pound to several dozen tons from any spot of
the globe, by any mode of transport. Besides, we provide clients with
the full spectrum of appropriate services, from custom procedures in
any (air) port of the world to packing of the freight. Our team
consists of young, energetic professionals, carried away with their
business. Our clients may always get an opinion on any question,
concerning international delivery of goods. Our specialists will be
glad to give you irrefragable information about our tariff or about any
questions free of charge. Professionalism of BBI Business Finance is
admitted on the international level – since August 2000, our Company
has been presenting UK in the International Association of forwarders
World Freight Group. For all this time BBI Business Finance has always
been included in the six of the best companies on the quality of work,
in accord with the results of annual survey, held among the members of
the Association. In May 2002 the collective BBI Business Finance won
the certificate Excellence of the first place, according to the results
of work in 2001. The members of the Association World Freight Group are
our main partners. 60 companies, working in 195 cities and airports of
the world, make the basis of our broad geography of transportations.
This allows us to present services of the delivery from any spot of the
globe. The quantity of ports and airports, our company is working with,
is constantly growing and in June 2001 it came to 236 cities!" ii)
The fact that BBI
Business Finance have no internet presence
whatsoever proves that the
above claims are lies.
iii) They claim to
have been
founded in 1999 yet as usual their website
domain bbibusiness-finance.org proves that also is a lie,
having only been registered with Melbourne IT, Ltd. on 15 Jan
2008
iv) The double
payload of the site in
this case is firstly the clear illegal
money mule job of 'Financial Manager' from the
website under the 'For Employees' tab: Financial Manager:
This
work is for persons who dreamed to try themselves both in the
development of their own company and its promotion in the market of
goods and services.
We
develop and sell
software and in
connection with the relevance of our services on the territory of the
USA we need a representative in your state and in your city at the
position of Financial Manager.
The
Company has signed corporate contracts with a few European and American
companies for the information support and promotion of the services of
the Company.
On
of the essential
conditions is to open an
account or to register the company in your state (it depends on your
state of residence)
Having
received all
necessary documents
when opening the account or registering the company you must render us
all the package of the documents received upon the registration
(their copies) to us. During the process of work funds will be
transferred to your account and you will control such funds and, upon
our request, carry out money settlements with clients or
representatives in other cities and countries.
The
salary will make 7 % of the total amount of deals made by the company
for one month that makes 1,5 to 2 thousand dollars of your net profit
per month.
The
approximate profit of
the company for the first month will make 20 to 30 thousand dollars.
You
will not have to promote goods and services, our promoters are occupied
with that. You must strictly follow our instructions during work and
follow instructions of our manager.
We'll
refund all expenses
that you incur opening bank account bank or registering the company.
If
you are interested in cooperation with us, please register on our site
to tick off the position of Financial Manager and within 1-2 days wait
for a call from our representative. When we contact with you, your
curriculum vitae and personal data left on our site upon registration
will be treated. After that, you are sent a contract which you have to
sign and send to us.
After
all these procedures
we start working with you.
Thanks.
We
will be happy
cooperating with you.
If
such work is convenient for you we will give more details about it in
the next letter.
It's the usual semi-literate
nonsense, but above all a clear illegal
part
time money mule function.
v) Secondly, from
the website, here is the well documented reshipping fraud job of
handling stolen goods, entitled Shipping and Receiving Manager: Shipping
and Receiving Manager :
Dear
New Employer !
Our company "BBI Business Finance" is looking for new employees because
of increasing in the number of our clients. We deliver different
packages all
over the world through private persons. We work in international
delivery service for 3 years. Among our partners are: Ashford.com,
Fogdog.com, etc.
Your duties:
1. You should stay at home Monday till Friday 9 a.m-6 p.m. The packages
will be delivered to you almost every day. All the packages are rather
small because the
things we deliver are mostly the gifts: books, CDs, dishes, cameras,
etc.
2. After reception package it will be necessary for you to send the
report on its reception using an account on our site
3. Then you should prepare the package for resending to our Mail
&
Delivery Center. Actually in most cases you will have to wait for the
delivery of 3
packages to you, because to cut expenses one your package should
contain 3 units or more of any goods (for example,
2 cameras and 1 laptop...). If you have the package
with clothes you should get 10 clothes' units to send to our Mail
& Delivery Center (for example, 2 jackets, 1
skirt, 3 pairs of boots, 4 t-shorts). Please, BE CAREFUL while making
your package: do not damage or break the goods.

USPS with 3-5 day delivery time.

package using your account on our site
Your salary:
- 100% of cost of a package's resending (i.e. when resending a package
at the post office, you've paid for example $50. So, your salary then
is $50x2 =$100).
You will receive the wages together with money spent on sending package
on system a Western Union next day after reception of your report by us
about sending.
The average wages in a week will make 200-500 dollars.
In case you having some money troubles, we can transfer you the money
for the first resending.
If this work we is interesting to you shall are glad to your
introduction into our collective!

manager for voice acknowledgement!!
After that we shall send you the contract which you should sign, scan,
and send us!
Since this moment you will
start to work!!
Thanks.
We shall be glad to cooperation with you!
Once
again it is the clear & undeniable position of forwarding
stolen
goods on to these criminals. If you are unfamiliar with Reshipping fraud, it is well documented by
many authoritative sources.
vi) No genuine
company would
recruit illegal "money transfer agents" or
"Reshipping Agents" from among the untrained, unknown
general
population in a foreign country - the whole idea is ludicrous.
vii) Contact details from their
website:
Corporate
Offices Unit J Great Weston
Trade Park, Aisecombe Way, Basingstoke, Weston-super-Mare BS22 8NA United Kingdom Email: service@bbibusiness-finance.org Phone: +44 (0) 20 7836
1981 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7179
5755
As
a UK resident I can vouch for the fact that those details are
completely bogus. Why? Well, for a start, they cannot be at both
Basingstoke and Weston-Super-Mare as they are two different towns in
different counties - Basingstoke is in Hampshire and Weston-Super-Mare
is in North Somerset. The telephone numbers are both London numbers, so
they must have a long telephone cord. Complete rubbish - nought out of
ten for effort, I'm afraid. They are exactly the same bogus details as
for one of their other aliases - DBI
Business Finance
The real company located at that address, (apart from the spurious Basingstoke!), is called 'Boardshop Limited' viii) BBI Business Finance are not registered at
the UK 'Companies
House'. The
above evidence clearly demonstrates that the BBI Business Finance 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 usually 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.
