ITV International is a run-of-the-mill illegal money laundering mule job spamvertising website. It hasn't got much that distinguishes it from most of the others documented on this site. It uses a website stolen from Vistapoint Technologies (Flextronic Components). The spam makes the usual ludicrous claim on their homepage that "ITV International is a market-leading provider of world-class technologies, low-cost manufacturing, and vertically integrated components" when a quick Google search on "ITV International" reveals that they are completely unknown as such.

It's extremely unlikely, but this bogus company should not be confused with the UK broadcasting company ITV, (Independent Television or any other television company for that matter).

The careers page:

ITV International Careers

The careers page reveals the real reason for the website - the usual 'suckers wanted' position of an illegal money laundering mule, (aka Sales Representative/Processing Manager), as follows:


Sales Representatives/Processing Manager (part time position)

Job Location
Australia

How to apply
Please use our online application below.

ITV International has an extensive database of clients who are located in Australia and we are looking again for responsible, honest and motivated people to help us in organize our representation in this region.

During last year our newly employed agents and local representatives were involved with a large number of prospective private investors and companies who are ready to take part in our business. However, the absence of ITV International offices in Australia created numerous difficulties. To rectify this problem we are employing staff who will be representatives of ITV International in their particular regions.

To optimize our work with existing clients and to expand our business we need new staff that can dedicate 2-4 hours of their time per day and earn extra 500-800 AUD weekly. All offered positions are currently part-time and give you a chance to work mainly from home.

How it works?
When the prospective client intends to buy our products or services he signs a contract and sends an international wire from his local bank. The central problem of our activity in Australia is the prolonged duration of funds transfers from our clients to us. As a result our client waits from one week to over month until his transfer reaches our account and our Managers give an order to ship products to a customer. Our newly employed agents will solve this problem by means of there geographical position close to the client.

The Process
1. Our customer (located in your area) informs us about his wish to buy specified products or services..
2. We supply our client with your contact details and he transfers funds directly to you (cheque sent to postal address specified by you or via bank transfer to your bank account). You inform us the moment the funds arrive.
3. We immediately give an order to ship products to the customer. In most cases this will allow us to ship client's order on the same or next business day.
4. You then transfer the client’s funds to our bank account (or follow other transferring methods as will be stated in your instructions).

How much we pay
We pay you a 5-7% commission from the total amount of the funds transferred to you from our clients. You simply deduct the commission from the received amount. We cover all other bank fees and transfer costs.

We can afford this commission as our clients compensate for it and we save greater amounts avoiding the 10% Tax on Foreign Trade here in Hong Kong. You are not obliged to pay any taxes in Australia until you are acting as an agent.


Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) Stolen Website - the criminals have stolen the website from Vistapoint Technologies, (Flextronic Components) and have just changed a few graphics and added a bogus money laundering job page.

ii)
The above 'job' consists of  accepting money into your account and transferring it out to the crooks via Moneygram or Western Union for a percentage - the usual illegal money mule function.

iii) They are spammers - spams received from the auscert.org.au mule distribution. Sample spam below.


iv) They have no contact details on their website - no company address and no company telephone number.

v)
Their domain itv-international.net was only registered on 19-Nov-2007 which means they've done well to grow to become a "market-leading provider of world-class technologies" in only 7 days.... I think not.
