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:
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)
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.
