GamePower Systems Ltd. Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

GamePower Systems is just the latest in a long line of websites that have been set up to form a front for a money laundering job advertisement. It's another bogus games site, presumably in an attempt to catch a younger & more susceptible group, 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 criminal fraudsters. It's the direct replacement scam for the Ultragame fraud, and before that they had a previous alias of The GreatGame ltd.

They seem extremely confused about whether they are financial services company or a games related company. In fact they are neither - this particular GamePower Systems are simply a fraud related company.

N.B. This fraudulent company should not be confused with any other company bearing the same or a similar name. This fraudulent company is identified by these website graphics and the money laundering mule job it spamvertises under the 'Vacancies' tab.

GamePower Systems : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Exactly the same banner headline wording as the Ultragame fraudsters: "We Do Really Exchange Virtual Prizes For Real Ones"

ii) On their 'About Us' page, GamePower Systems claims "Company was established in 1995 year by Tim Leithner, currently is based in Helsinki, Finland and provides the financial and banking services.", but the criminal's domain gamepowersys.org was only registered with Estdomains on 15-Jan-2008.

iii) Contact Details from website:

Notice they say they are based in Helsinki, but they give a supposed Latvian address and the telephone numbers are US ones! They need to get their act together! Then there's the gmail contact email address - what legitimate company would use a gmail personnel address?

iv) A Google search for GamePower Systems shows three things, firstly that there is a legitimate Canadian company of the same name and secondly that these crooks have no internet presence in their field and thirdly that they are spamming job sites internationally as shown below.

v) They are posting the following 'job' on recruitment websites all over the world:

Both vacancies are part-time, work from home. The first position is carefully unspecified, but the second, (the one mentioned in the spam), is a clear re-shipping fraud - there is no other reason for the function specified.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the GamePower Systems 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.
