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

Gumpstores Corporation This is just a standard Russian scam website that has been set up to form a front for reshipping fraud, auction fraud and money laundering fraud. The site content has been stolen from a company called Centurion Management Group, LLC. and adapted for the criminals purposes. The criminal's domains gumpstores.com and empdep.com have only been registered relatively recently which is at variance to their claim to have been "Established in 2003", they have no internet presence, there is clear Google evidence of fraud and job website spamming, they have a previous domain, (partnercorporation.com), that has been disabled and their location/contact details are easily demonstrated to be fake. They have another related scam Tenturio Management Group, LLC which uses the same stolen website content. The payload of the website consists of the triple whammy criminal fraud offer of 'Shipping Managers', 'eBay Specialists/Sales Managers' and 'PayPal Financial Managers'. The 'Shipping Manager' is clearly reshipping fraud, the 'PayPal Financial Managers' is clearly money mule activity and the 'eBay Specialists/Sales Managers' is undoubtedly auction fraud involved in getting rid of the goods obtained from their reshipping fraud operation.

Gumpstores Corporation  : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Gumpstores Corporation claim on their website 'About Us' page "Established in 2003", but the criminal's domains gumpstores.com and empdep.com were both only registered with MELBOURNE IT LTD, (Yahoo as reseller), on 02-Nov-2008. A clear indication of a fraudulent registration.

ii) The website content has been stolen from the Centurion Management Group, LLC. and adapted for the criminals purposes - clear evidence of website theft and fraud.

iii) A Google search for "Gumpstores Corporation" shows absolutely no internet presence at all for this particular Gumpstores Corporation apart from their own scam websites, fraud website listings and evidence of job website spamming.

iv) Fake Website Contact Details:

Gumpstores Corporation
70 N Chase Bvld,
Montgomery 36101.AL. USA

Mailing Address:
70 N Chase Bvld,
Montgomery 36101.AL. USA

P : 334-275-4114
F : 334-387-2900
E : sales@gumpstores.com

• - They've managed to misspell their supposed own address - N Chase Bvld instead of N Chase Blvd.
• - The zipcode is wrong - all of N Chase Blvd is 36110 - check for yourself
• - A USPS Zipcode check on the address "70 N Chase Blvd, Montgomery, AL" returns the message "The address was not found" It is a fake address - clear evidence of fraud.
• - The telephone number 334-275-4114 Locates to Opelika, Alabama and not Montgomery Alabama which is about 50 miles away - clear evidence of fraud
• - The Fax. number 334-387-2900 Googles as an internet dial-up number - clear evidence of fraud.
All clear evidence of fake details and thus a fake site. (N.B. - the address 4470 N Chase Blvd, Montgomery, AL 36110, USA was used by the Russian Finance Corp International Inc. fraudsters. It is unlikely to be a coincidence that the above fake address is a modified version of it).

v) They are not registered as a business in the US state of Alabama. Check for yourself. Clear evidence of a fake company.

That is a clear 'Reshipping Donkey' function of accepting deliveries of products that have been purchased using 'phished' victim's accounts and reshipping them off to Russia.

I have to confess that this is one, (undoubted), scam that I am not so familiar with, but given the initial reshipping fraud job, it does not require a great deal of imagination to work out the reason for the above job and what it is involved with. Lastly, the classic Money Mule function:

Short and sweet - the classic Money Mule function of accepting transfers of stolen funds, (or more likely funds derived from the above Ebay auctions of stolen goods), into your bank/Paypal account and transferring a balance back to these crooks less your 'commission'. Needless to say it will lose you a lot of money, (as the funds sent to you will eventually be recovered), end up with your bank/Paypal account being closed and you being investigated for fraud as you will undoubtedly be reported to law enforcement.
The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Gumpstores Corporation website has been set up by criminal fraudsters purely for the purpose of spamvertising an illegal trio of criminal jobs. 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 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.
