GFC Inc (Global Forwarding Company) Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

GFC Inc (Global Forwarding Company) screenshot - 30-May-2009

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

GFC Inc (Global Forwarding Company) is a standard money laundering mule fraud job spamvertising website which exists solely to lend an air of legitimacy to the inevitable 'money mule' job that exists on the 'Vacancies' page. It is a clear illegal job that consists of accepting stolen/fake funds into your bank account and transferring a balance to these criminals overseas via Western Union or Moneygram. The criminals have no web presence and their domain was only registered in the last few weeks despite their above claim "GFC Inc (Global Forwarding Company) Inc., founded in 1998, is an international multifunctional company with more than 30 branches worldwide". It is an identical scam to the Cargo Partner Inc. fraud.

Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) The criminals claim on their screenshot above to have been founded in 1998, but their website domain gfc-inc.net was only registered with Melbourne IT (Yahoo as reseller) on 15-Mar-2009 - a clear indication of fraud and misrepresentation.

ii) A Google search for "GFC Inc (Global Forwarding Company)" shows no web presence whatsoever for this particular company apart from their own fake website which gives the lie to their above clearly bogus statement: "GFC Inc (Global Forwarding Company) Inc., founded in 1998, is an international multifunctional company with more than 30 branches worldwide, including Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, Southern Africa, as well as North and South America". Clear evidence of fraud

iii) The bogus job from the website:

3 Mayakovskogo St.
Dnipropetrovsk 49064, Ukraine
Phone: +380-56-770-1112
+380-56-770-1113

• - According to Google, (ignoring the criminal's fake website), the address "3 Mayakovskogo St. Dnipropetrovsk" is the address for “DNEPROPETROVSK METALLURGICAL WORKS NAMED AFTER PETROVSKIY” and not the address of these crooks - there is no independent evidence that they are at this address.
• - Google searches for the telephone numbers +380-56-770-1112 and +380-56-770-1113 returns no hits for these criminals apart from their own fake website.

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.
