Global Financial Group Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

Global Financial Group is a pretty standard money laundering mule recruiting website which they make obvious by advertising a clear money mule job of receiving payments into your account and transferring them back out by Moneygram/Western Union which is the clearly defined illegal money mule function that will get your bank account and all your assets frozen and get you a visit from the police - don't get involved.

The website domain is registered with Yahoo as reseller for Melbourne IT (01-May-2008) and is hosted on the Yahoo small business network. Those characterisitcs are shared by the Office Online fraudster. They purport to be a Ukrainian based company but I have my doubts. They look more like a US fraudster pretending to be a Ukrainian fraudster to me.

This fraudster should not be confused with any of several legitimate companies of the same or similar name - the above website graphics and the included money laundering job clearly identify the fake website and these fraudsters.

Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) They are advertising the following clear work from home illegal 'money mule' job of 'Correspondence Assistant/Manager' under the Vacancy tab on their website as follows:

Global Financial Group is a financial services holding company that has emerged as an industry leader, providing diverse investment products and credit services to consumers and businesses nationwide.

Global Financial Group has the following excellent and challenging employment opportunity for a highly motivated and innovative individual to work in our International Mailing Services (IMS) Department.

Correspondence Assistant/Manager will be responsible for managing the process of receiving and processing of payments Global Financial Group. Willing to work flexible schedule, including Saturday.

Correspondence Assistant/Manager Essential Functions:

Receive the Internet PayPal payments from our clients.

Report to the supervising manager (you will receive an e-mail instruction for each money transfer).

Transfer the money funds to the representative of the company.

There can be no argument about the criminal nature of that advertised 'job' - it is the clear and well documented 'money mule' function of accepting payments into a private account and transferring them back out using Moneygram or Western Union.
No legitimate company would advertise for private citizens to do such a part-time illegal job working from home exchanging money, it is clear evidence that the company is both bogus and criminal.

ii) They make the claim on their website "Global Financial Group is a financial services holding company that has emerged as an industry leader". This is quite apparently a lie as they have no internet presence whatsoever, apart from recognition as spammers and scammers by other fraud sites

iii) Their website domain global-fin-group.com was only registered 01-May-2008 so according to their claim they have become an "industry leader" in eight days - a patently nonsensical claim - clear evidence of fraud.

iv) They claim on the above screenshot to have opened the post of 'Correspondence Assistant/Manager' on January the 7th. 2008, but the website domain wasn't even registered until May the 1st. - clear evidence of fraud.

v) Their http://www.global-fin-group.com/contact.htm support email address is a live.com address - no reputable company would use such a sole contact address

vi) They have an agreement Word document posted here on their website. It is supposedly signed by one "Darius Sielicki" but the actual signature is totally different, viz:
