First Global Road Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

First Global Road is just one of a whole host of money mule and reshipping frauds from the same criminal gang. To see a few more of these criminal's aliases, Google for scraps of text from the site, e.g. "by people with great experience and knowledge in the field of international transport".

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.

First Global Road : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) First Global Road claim on their website "First Global Road was founded in the beginning of 1999", but the criminal's domains wethinkglobally.com and fgroad.com were only registered with PUBLICDOMAINREGISTRY.COM on 01-Mar-2008 and NETFIRMS, INC. on 20-feb-2008 respectively - that claim is clearly false.

ii) If they had have been around since 1999 they would have an internet presence. As it is, they have none at all except the odd mention by anti-fraud sites for their spamming activities.

iii) The First Global Road website's real function is to spamvertise both a re-shipping fraud part-time work from home job and a similar illegal money mule position accepting fraudulent funds into your account and transferring them back out to the criminals via Western Union or Moneygram for a percentage cut.

iv) Here is the re-shipping fraud job of "Shipping Manager" from their website:

Shipping manager.

You must enjoy working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and
have strong multi-tasking abilities and interpersonal skills.
This job requires punctuality, good organizational skills and proficiency with Microsoft office programs to maintain inventory and fill in necessary forms.

You will receive packages with electronics from our suppliers and then forward it to our further world wide clients via major shipping
companies: Fedex, DHL, UPS, USPS.
You will generally receive high Tech. Equipment - computer hardware, audio systems, electronics etc.
You will handle all aspects of warehouse activities including shipping, receiving, and inventory.
Experience in freight and custom clearance is key to hire. Top compensation and a rewarding work environment that offers room for growth.
All candidates must be reliable. Previous warehouse experience and experience in a pick/pack environment preferred.
You should effectively communicate with the clients, located in another city while maintaining frequent calls with questions and/or special requests.

5. Be responsible, hard working and communicable.
6. Be able to answer phone calls.

We offer competitive compensation, including base salary, commission, and expense reimbursement
Approximate quantity of packages/letters per week depends ONLY on your skills.

The above fraud could not be clearer - it is the well recognised function of "re-shipping fraud". There is no genuine requirement for such a service and what the unfortunate 'dupe' may not realise is that the goods he has reshipped have been purchased by fraud, e.g. stolen credit card details and he will be the only traceable link in the chain. This fraud is well documented by many authoritative agencies, e.g. the United States Postal Service detail it here in a press release dating back to February 2005.

v) and here is the even more well known & totally illegal money mule function, here entitled "Financial Manager" on their website:

Financial manager.

1. Be able to check your email several times a day
2. Be able to respond to emails immediately

Once again, the proposed job could not be clearer - it is the well known and totally illegal money laundering mule position which entails receiving stolen or fraudulent checks into your bank account and immediately wiring them back to the criminals via Moneygram or Western Union.

vi) No legitimate company is going to spamvertise among the untrained, inexperienced and uncertified general population for a "Financial Manager" acting as a spare time, work from home criminal money transfer agent accepting funds into a private account and transferring a balance out via Western Union. Such a proposition defines the company without doubt as criminal and fraudulent. Neither are they going to advertise for a similar "Shipping Manager" working from home in a part-time position. The correct term for this position is 'Fence' as the only possible reason for such a function is to launder stolen goods.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the First Global Road website has been set up by money laundering & re-shipping fraudsters purely for the purpose of spamvertising illegal jobs. If you are a registrar or a host abuse team that has received an abuse report regarding these fraudster's domains or hosting, 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.
