Business & Professional Consultants is just another scam company in the Cronos, Ace Global etc group of companies that have been set up to form a front for a money laundering 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 Fraud is identical to the Finance International Inc. fraud in every way but the name and the contact details.
This fraudulent company should not be confused with any other genuine firm with the same or similar name - the above website graphics are taken from the fraudulent website.

Business & Professional Consultants : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Business & Professional Consultants claim on their website to have been "working in the market of investment services for almost 15 years", but the criminal's domain businessproc.com was only registered with ENOM, INC. (Rustelekom reseller) on October the 30th. 2007.

ii) A Google search throws up many other Business & Professional Consultants as you'd expect, but this crooked one appears to have no internet presence at all.

iii) No trace of them can be found on this occupancy map of the Wilshire Center at 3255 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010, USA, (their given bogus address details).

iv) They use exactly the same criminal registered nameservers (ns1.myserverdns.com & ns2.myserverdns.com stealthed via ns2.fordns.be and ns1.fordns.be) as the Cronos Investment, Finance International Inc. and other aliases of these criminals.

v) They are hosted on the same criminal host, (AbdAllah Internet Hizmetleri) IP, (88.255.90.226), as the Cronos Investment criminals and other aliases of these crooks.

vi) Of the six 'jobs' advertised on their website, this 'job' of 'Financial Agent' is the only one available:
FINANCIAL AGENT

The major duty of the incumbent is to promptly receive and process stockbrokers' payments to further transfer them applying specified method. Please enquire for detailed work scheme.

In other words, receiving money into your bank account and transferring it out via Western Union for 7% commission, i.e. just your average money laundering mule position.

vii) What sort of financial company is going to spamvertise for "FINANCIAL AGENT" among the untrained, inexperienced and uncertified general population? I think we all know the answer to that one.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Business & Professional Consultants website has been set up by money laundering 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 money laundering activity and spamming - 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.

Blocking The spam

I have had quite a few queries about how to block the criminal's spam in Outlook Express. Fortunately they are easily detected using the OE 'Mail Rules' (Tools - Message Rules - Mail).

Rules based on the From, To etc addresses will never work as the header data is all forged. The message body remains constant, however & that can be used to detect them.

Use the rule "Where the message body contains specific words" and use "Business & Professional Consultants" as the search item then choose 'delete' (or whatever action you prefer) as the action then that will definitely detect every single one of these spams.
