Don't Bear Internet Fraud

Capital Group Inc. screenshot (21-Nov-2008)

This fraudster should not be confused with any legitimate company of the same or similar name - the above website graphics and the included money laundering job clearly identify the fake website and these criminal fraudsters.

Capital Group Inc. This is just the latest of the numerous highly generic Russian scam websites that has been set up to form a front for a money laundering job advertisement. (The identical job was posted by the Calisto Trading Inc., Reynolds Investment, & Simple Investments fraudsters and others). 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. It's an identical scam to Epayment Solutions, Emarket Solutions Inc., Legal Operations Inc., Secure Operations Inc., Oranta Group Inc., Ketler Group Inc., Profit Financing Inc., Logic Group Inc., Maxi Group Inc., Fair Group, Fartex Group, MGPA Group Inc., Sky Group Inc., Idea Group Inc. and the Air Group Inc. frauds. This fraud website has been produced in several languages.

Capital Group Inc. : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Capital Group Inc. claim on their website "The company was set up in 1990 in New York, the USA by three enthusiasts having financial education", but the criminal's domain capital-group-li.cc was only registered with 厦门华商盛世网络有限公司 (Bizcn.com) on 31-Oct-2008. Clear evidence of fraud

ii) Our Partners: They used a fake Serfreport webpage to display a fake news item also to lend legitimacy to their company.The fake webpage is just a page on the criminal's own server.

iii) Our Partners: They use a fake News.de webpage to display a fake news item also to lend legitimacy to their company.The fake webpage is just a page on the criminal's own server.

iv) Our Partners: They used a fake Yahoo finance webpage to lend legitimacy to their company by showing a bogus stock figure for the equally bogus Capital Group Inc. The fake webpage is just a page on the criminal's own server.

v) Our Partners: They used a fake Businesswire webpage to display a fake news item also to lend legitimacy to their company. The fake webpage is just a page on the criminal's own server.

vi) Our Partners: They use a fake Stockhouse webpage to display a fake news item also to lend legitimacy to their company.The fake webpage is just a page on the criminal's own server.

vii) A Google search shows no internet presence at all for this particular Capital Group Inc. and they are not listed at the UK Companies House or the UK Financial Services Authority which they would have to be to be able to legally trade in the UK - they are undoubtedly a bogus company. Clear evidence of criminal fraud.

viii) This scam is related to the Calisto Trading Inc. scam among others & is identical to the Epayment Solutions, Emarket Solutions Inc.. Oranta Group Inc., Legal Operations Inc., Secure Operations Inc., Ketler Group Inc., Profit Financing Inc., Logic Group Inc., Maxi Group Inc., Fair Group, Fartex Group, MGPA Group Inc., Sky Group Inc., Idea Group Inc. and the Air Group Inc. scams - it even has the same following contact details for all the different companies:

When funds are received on employee's bank account Financial Agent's duty is to withdraw cash and transfer the funds via International Wire Transfer or using International Western Union/Money Gram money transfer system. The main advantage of our services is the shortest possible time within which the seller can receive money for the services/goods sold. If this operation is delayed, our client will have a right to cancel the contract and we shall suffer financial losses. That's why successful applicant must be very responsible and careful!

TRIAL PERIOD POLICY.

Successful applicants are offered the position on a trial period (1 month). This is a period when new employee will be trained and receive online support while working and being paid. A personnel supervisor can recommend termination during/after the trial period depending on agent's activity. New employee needs to be responsible and strictly follow our recommendations in order to pass the Trial Period successfully.

SALARY.

During the probationary period we offer 2300 USD monthly salary plus 8% commission from each payment processing operation. For example, an average $5,000 payment will bring $400 commission (but WU/MG fee is paid from this money, find more details below). Furthermore we offer $50 bonus for each transaction completed by 11am (local time). With the current volume of clients on average your overall income will add up to 4000 USD per month. A successful agent may ask for additional tasks and earn more. After the probationary period base salary will go up to 3000 USD per month, plus 8% commission. Base salary ($2300) is paid at the end of each month via wire transfer to employee's bank account. Commission (8%) should be deducted from the processed money.

IMPORTANT DETAILS.

    * Financial Agent must process received assets during one business day, i.e. from money collection on bank account to money re-sending to our client as indicated in the contract. Should money collection on employee's account is expected on day-off or holiday all payment processing procedures have to be completed within the following working day.
    * Every 14 days Financial Agent receives invoices for each transaction. This document is a confirmation of transaction validity, and in case of unforeseen circumstances it will evidence your personal non-participation. All invoices will contain detailed information about provider and will be sealed and certified by the President signature.
      *After the Trial Period invoices are sent every business day.
    * Since business transfers can be processed with delays, so Financial Manager have to specify a transfer as a remittance of private character. It is also applicable in case of a third party interest in the transfer.

    * All the fees (WU/MG) are paid from employee's commission. BUT our Company undertakes to reimburse part of expenses which are incurred in connection with money transfer (WIRE or by Western Union/Money gram system) should money transfer charges exceed 3%. At that, your net profit will amount to 5-8% of the total sum of payment processing operations
    * We don't require any investments to get started/work in our Company.
    * The Company offers incentive bonus program based on results of work and including several factors, i.e. total sum of money transferred, payment processing time, etc.

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.
