Lachlands Textiles Ltd Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

Lachlands Textiles Ltd screenshot (13-Oct-2008):

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

Lachlands Textiles Ltd., is just another bogus fabrics site fraudster that is spamvertising a bogus job on Craigslist and other places. It's a website that has obviously been thrown together wth all expense spared to try to pull the wool over your eyes. As usual, the real aim of these fake websites can be found under the 'Jobs' menu option - the usual part time, work from home 'job' entitled "Representative / Bookkeeper" which will get your account and assets frozen and earn you a criminal record. This criminal's domain was only registered on 18-jun-2008 with FASTDOMAIN, INC. (BlueHost.Com) and although they claim to be "a leader in the textiles industry" they have no internet presence whatsoever - the only Google hit as I write this is for their own website. Previous fraud alias - NARMADA TEXTILES which stole the identity and the contact details from the genuine & innocent Narmada Textiles company. This alias still uses the Narmada Textiles address. Clear evidence of fraud.

Lachlands Textiles Limited : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Despite this statement on their 'Home' page: "As a leader in the textiles industry...", the Lachlands Textiles Limited website domain lachlandstextiles.com was only registered with FASTDOMAIN, INC. (BlueHost.Com) on 18-jun-2008 and there is only one Google hit for the search term "Lachlands Textiles" and that is for their own website - they have no internet presence whatsoever.

ii) The very basic, unreadable, (black text on a dark blue background), website is very crudely put together and claims to be "still under construction" - it must have taken all of half an hour to cobble together.

iii) The website images are stock royalty-free photographs taken in a textile mill downloaded from here and here and here and here

iv) The following spamvertised job appeared on Craigslist:

v) Bogus Website Contact Details:

Lachland Textiles LTD
Jalan Gunung Soputan No. 2X
Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia
Phone: (62-361) 486 071, 486 072

That is the stolen address of the genuine Indonesian Company Narmada Textiles

If you click on this Google search for "Jalan Gunung Soputan No. 2X" you will see where these crooks are coming from... Their previous fraud alias was NARMADA TEXTILES which stole the identity and the above address from the genuine Narmada Textiles company. The genuine company still have a warning of these criminals on their website - don't be fooled.

The above evidence clearly proves beyond any doubt that the Lachlands Textiles Limited website has been set up by money laundering criminal fraudsters purely for the purpose of spamvertising an illegal money laundering 'mule' job. 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 invariably 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.
