Cargo Alliance Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

Cargo Alliance screenshot (04-Sep-2008:

Cargo Alliance is a run-of-the-mill Russian re-shipping fraud job spamvertising website. It is from the same stable as the ITV International, Dominion Financial Co., ITV Solutions , Shaller Finance, and many other frauds already documented. It has identical sister frauds of Cargo East Line and East Way, Inc.
Notice the reference to WF in the "Do you know" box above - this fake company is referred to as WF Inc. in several places throughout the website. Is it a previous alias? Is it where they've stolen the website from? I've not found out for sure. If you know, let me know.

This fraudster should not be confused with any other company that has the same or a similar name. The website graphics and the evidence below identify this criminal.

Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) The 'Vacancies' page reveals the real reason for the website - the usual 'suckers wanted' position of a re-shipping fraudster or fence of stolen goods to give it the correct title, (aka Correspondence Assistant/Representative), as follows:

Vacancies

Correspondence Assistant/Representative:
No special experience is required for this position!

No start up fees! No out of pocket fees! Nothing to pay!

We hire all over the USA except Alaska and Hawaii.

We are looking for honest and bright people for this position.

Requirements:
- Resident of the United States, UK, Canada, France, Italy or Germany
- Fluent English (for applicants from all countries);
- Basic knowledge of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel;
- Home Computer with e-mail account and ability to check your e-mail
box at least twice a day;
- Adults only accepted (we cannot hire underage people);
- 4-6 hours free during the week (mainly in the evening /
non-business hours) for communication and 3-5 hours a week more for
package processing;

Job description:

Those people who are accepted for this job will follow these simple
instructions:

1. Receive correspondence from our company and its clients at his/her
residential address;
2. Report to our manager (every candidate will be included in a
manager's lists)
3. Forward received items according to instructions of our manager.

4. Fill in the forms and papers as indicated in our manager's
instructions (you will receive an e-mail with instructions for each
box).
5. Ship packages out

You will be paid by the check or via PayPal every two weeks.

No reputable company is going to entrust the job of shipping agent to any John/Jane Doe recruited at random from the general public. This is the clear 'Reshipping Donkey' function. If you are lucky the packages will contain the goods obtained from fraudulent EBay auctions and/or bought with stolen credit card data. If you are unlucky they could be drugs or other criminal traffic. Unless you want a criminal record, don't do it.

ii) On the 'About Us' page, Cargo Alliance claim "Our business exists for more than 5 years", yet their website domain cargoalliance.biz was only registered with TUCOWS INC. on 28-Jul-2008. A clear indication of fraud.

iii) On the 'About Us' page, Cargo Alliance claim "In January, 2004 we dealt with more than 700 active sellers, and we had about 4.500 customers served during the year 2004. The circulation during the year was $6.200.000". amazing, considering that their domain wasn't registered until a couple of months ago and they have no internet presence at all - a Google search for "Cargo Alliance" simply shows a genuine 'Cargo Alliance' in Canada but nothing about these crooks. Clear evidence of fraud.

iv) Website Contact Details:

v) The contact details are identical for all three of the fraudster's aliases, including Cargo East Line and East Way, Inc. Clear evidence of fraud.

vi) Cargo Alliance are not registered at Germany's 'Companies House'. Clear, verifiable evidence of a fake company.

vii) Cargo Alliance are not registered in the French company register. Clear, verifiable evidence of a fake company.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates that the Cargo Alliance 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.
