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.

Browncorp Financial Services 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 Consulting, etc etc etc. It's the usual glossy website set up deliberately to lure the unwary into the world of money laundering fraud. It's an identical follow on scam to AIF Investment Consulting and others with the usual identical money mule job advertised and the usual recently registered domain browncorp-financial-services.com (BIZCN.COM, INC. on 24-Mar-2009). Their location details are fake and they are not a registered company at their supposed locations of Germany and California.

Evidence of Spamming and Criminal Fraud:

i) On the 'About Us' page of their website the criminals claim: "Browncorp Financial Services was founded in 2006 and obtained a license for activity engaging at the same time.". However their two domains browncorp-financial-services.com and bc-financial-services.com were both registered with BIZCN.COM, INC. on 24-Mar-2009 for the usual criminal's minimum domain period of one year. Clear evidence of misrepresentation and fraud.

ii) A Google search for "Browncorp Financial Services" shows absolutely no web presence for these criminals apart from their own fake website and evidence of spamming.

iii) The payload of the site is a clear illegal money laundering mule job under the 'Jobs For You' tab, under the heading 'Vacancies':

iv) That is a crystal clear 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 also the identical job as posted on many of the criminal's previous aliases as listed.


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