CDI Group Inc. scam. 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 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. 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., Air Group Inc., Ideal Group Inc., Capital Group Inc., Fox Group Inc., Ebusiness Group Inc., Onicks Group Inc., Multi Group Inc., Single Group, DDK Group Inc., EFS Capital Group Inc., Eagle Group Inc. FCB Group Inc., TDK Group Inc., Ecos Group Inc., BBM Group Inc., Veston Group Inc., BCG Group Inc., Dream Group Inc., Flar Group Inc., Ward Group Inc., Gio Group Inc., Spal Group Inc. and the JSR Group Inc. fraudsters among others. This template is exactly the same as their Huge Group Inc., Emerge Group Inc. and BFS Group Inc. aliases. The website carries a clear money mule solicitation, their multiple domains were only registered very recently, they are not a registered company and all their contact and location details are bogus.
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 fraudsters.

CDI Group Inc. : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) CDI Group Inc. claim on their website "The company was set up in 1990 in New York, the USA by three enthusiasts who have financial education", but the criminal's domain cdi-groupmain.cc was only registered with BIZCN.COM, INC. on 24-Jun-2009 for a period of only one year. A clear indication of a fraudulent registration.

ii) A webcheck shows that this particular CDI Group Inc. are not registered in the NY state business register, clear evidence of a fake company. Check for yourself. (Not to be confused with another company of the same name).

iii) 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.

iv) 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.

v) 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 CDI Group Inc. The fake webpage is just a page on the criminal's own server.

vi) 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.

vii)  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.

viii) A Google search shows no internet presence at all for this particular CDI Group Inc., (apart from any of their own multiple fraud sites, of course). Not to be confused with other companies of the same name.

ix) This scam has identical content to the numerous scams listed above - these are serial criminal fraudsters. If you want to see just a few of their aliases, Google for "The company was set up in 1990 in New York, the USA by three enthusiasts who have financial education".

x) Another identical Russian fraud and yet another set of fake Location Details (copied from their website)

Main Address:
122 Fulton Street,
New York, NY 10030,
USA

Tel: +1 3474175839
Fax: +1 3473423198

Remember that these criminals are not registered as a legal business entity in the state of NY, so the above address details are bound to be bogus.

• - A Google Search for the address "122 Fulton Street, New York, NY" shows no sign of the criminals at this address, (ignoring the criminal's own fake website, of course).
• - A Google Maps Business Search for the street address "122 Fulton Street, New York, NY" shows they are not a listed business at this street address.
• - There are no Google hits for the above telephone number "+1 3474175839" apart from their own fraud site, of course.
• - There are no Google hits for the above Fax. number "+1 3473423198" apart from their own fraud site, of course.
All evidence of fake details.

DUTIES

We are searching for people to process payments coming from our clients. CDI Group Inc. will provide an agent with detailed instructions as regards payment processing operations including sender full name and amount total for each separate case.

When funds enter employee's bank account, Financial Agent's duty is to withdraw cash and transfer the funds via International Wire Transfer or Western Union/Money Gram money transfer systems. 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 clients are entitled to cancel their contract with us and we suffer financial loss. Therefore, successful applicant must be very responsible and careful!

TRIAL PERIOD POLICY

Successful applicants are offered the position on a probationary period basis (1 month). This is the period when a new employee will be trained and receive online support while working and being paid. A personal supervisor can recommend termination during/after the trial period depending on agent's activity. New employee should be responsible and strictly follow supervisor's recommendations to pass the Probationary Period successfully and be employed by us on a regular basis.

SALARY

During the probationary period we offer USD 2,300 monthly salary plus 8% commission for each payment processing operation. For example, an average $5,000 payment will entail $400 commission (but WU/MG fee is paid from this money, please see for more details below).

IMPORTANT DETAILS

    * Financial Agent is supposed to process received assets during one business day, i.e. from the moment of money entering his bank account to the moment of re-send to our client in accordance with contract terms. If money enters employee's account on a day-off or holiday, all payment processing procedures have to be completed during the next working day.
    * Financial Agent receives invoices for each transaction every 14 days. This document is a confirmation of transaction validity, and in case of any (if any at all) unforeseen circumstances it will evidence your personal non-participation. All invoices will contain detailed information on money sender and will be both sealed and certified with President's signature.
      *After the Probationary Period completion, invoices will be sent every business day.
    * Since business transfers can be processed with delays, Financial Manager should specify each transfer as a private remittance. This provision is also applicable in case of a third party interest in the transfer.
    * Our clients appreciate our operational efficiency and are ready to pay extra fee for shorter transaction terms. If we manage to deliver goods to buyer within 10 days, the deal is considered to be fulfilled at the earliest possible date.
    * All the fees (WU/MG) are paid from employee's commission. HOWEVER, 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%. All in all, your net profit will amount to 5-8% of the total amount of each payment processing operation.
