Blue Chip Financial Corporation (Stolen Identity)

Blue Chip Financial Corporation Fraud (Stolen Identity)

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

This fraudster should not be confused with any legitimate company of the same or similar name - the screenshot below clearly identifies the fake website and the irrefutable evidence of criminal fraud identifies and refers to these fraudsters alone, and no other company, in particular they are clearly nothing to do with the genuine Blue Chip Financial Corp. whose identity they have stolen.

Blue Chip Financial Corporation (Stolen Identity) scam. This is just the latest fraud from the source of the numerous highly generic Russian scam websites that have been set up to form a front for the usual money laundering fraud job advertisement. 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. The template may be different, but it's an identical scam to the majority of Russian frauds on this website. The website carries a clear money mule solicitation, their domains were only registered very recently, all their contact and location details are stolen and/or bogus, they are not a registered company and they are displaying clearly fake BBB, Verisign and TRUSTe seals. Previous aliases probably number in the hundreds, but recently include Capella Finance Inc., Advance Finance LLC, Advanced Finance Inc., Aurora Financial Corporation, Atlantic Finance LLC, etc, etc. You can see some of the aliases and spam by doing a Google search for this damning extract from the clear money mule job on their website: "Expert skill in managing payments and transfers between our company and clients".

Blue Chip Financial Corporation (Stolen Identity) : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Blue Chip Financial Corporation claim on their 'About Us' page: "Blue Chip Financial Corporation was established in 1960 under the name of National Industries Company (NIC) by virtue of the Commercial Companies Law in the State of California with 51% of shares owned by US Government and 49% owned by the private sector. In 1995 and 1996, US Government sold all its shares in the company to the private sector (Companies & Individuals) as part of its privatization program. On July 14th, 1998, Company changed the name from National Industries Company to Blue Chip Financial Group and in May, 2002, it became Blue Chip Financial Corporation and the activities thereof were restructured to comply with the new legal entity, which has been moved and registered in Melville, New York.", but the criminal's domain bluechip-fc.com was only registered with Todaynic.com, Inc. on 21-oct-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year. A clear indication of deception and fraud

ii) A webcheck shows that this particular Blue Chip Financial Corporation are not registered in the NY state business register, clear evidence of a fake company. Check for yourself. N.B. - they are clearly nothing to do with the genuine Blue Chip Financial Corp. whose identity they have stolen and who have a totally different website.

iii) A Google search shows absolutely zero internet presence at all for this particular Blue Chip Financial Corporation, ignoring its own fake website, of course, which makes this above screenshot claim: "Blue Chip Financial Corporation is one of the world's largest financial companies, serving individual customers, small and middle market businesses and large corporations with a full range of depositary, investing, corporate finance, trust management and other financial and risk-management products and services. The company provides unmatched convenience in and outside the United States, serving more than 5 million consumers, small and large business relationships. Blue Chip Financial Corporation offers industry leading support to more than 4 million business owners through a suite of innovative, easy-to-use products and services. The company serves clients in more than 100 countries and has relationships with many international leaders of financial community." laughably absurd.

iv) Fake seals - the Verisign seal on their homepage is simply a gif image on their own server and clicking on it simply goes to another page on their server and does not verify with Verisign - it is an obvious fake. The same goes for their fake TRUSTe seal and fake BBB seal - a BBB search shows that this Blue Chip Financial Corporation are not in fact a BBB accredited business, not to be confused with the genuine Blue Chip Financial Corp. whose identity these crooks have stolen.

v) Stolen and Fake Location Details (copied from their website)

• - Unfortunately these criminals have stolen the identity of the genuine Blue Chip Financial Corp. and the first set of address details belong to the real company - do not be fooled.
• - The second set of address details isn't even a complete address, I assume they mean Manhattan Business Center, 410 Park Avenue, New York, but your guess is as good as mine - they leave it vague for a purpose... There are certainly no Google hits whatsoever for the address as written, i.e. - "Manhattan Business Center, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022" and Google Maps returns no hits either. As the website is so clearly fake, and they are not registered in NY in their own right there seems little point in pursuing it.
• - There are no Google hits for any of the telephone numbers, (linked).

vi) The list of fake partners on this page is just a bunch of dead links ATM.

vii) They've got the usual identical bunch of photoshopped & often irrelevant fake certificates that these crooks always post on most of their fraud sites. Why do they think that these would convince anyone? (Search my site for "Fake Certificates" for further info).

x) They've got the usual identical fake list of addresses that they publish for all of their listed aliases - try this search of my site for their fake UK address "81 Holland Road" for example - they're also not a UK registered company, i.e. they are not listed in the UK Companies House Registry - clear evidence of a fake company if further evidence was needed.

ix) Here is the obvious money laundering position of "FINANCIAL AGENT" posted on their website:

Clear evidence of criminal fraud.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the fake Blue Chip Financial Corporation 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.
