Multiconcept Group Inc. scam. This is just the latest of the numerous highly generic Russian scam websites that has been set up to form a front for a money laundering fraud job advertisement. (The identical job was posted by the Calisto Trading Inc., Reynolds Investment, & Simple Investments fraudsters and others). It's a bit slicker than most but at the end of the day its function is to con you into believing that they are a legitimate company when the evidence clearly demonstrates that they are crooks. It's an identical scam to Epayment Solutions, Emarket Solutions Inc., Legal Operations Inc., Secure Operations Inc., Oranta Group Inc., Ketler Group Inc., Profit Financing Inc., Logic Group Inc., Maxi Group Inc., Fair Group, Fartex Group, MGPA Group Inc., Sky Group Inc., Idea Group Inc., Air Group Inc., Ideal Group Inc., Capital Group Inc., Fox Group Inc., Ebusiness Group Inc., Onicks Group Inc., Multi Group Inc. Single Group, DDK Group Inc., DC Group Inc. and the Key Group Inc. frauds among others. This fraud website has been produced in several languages. They may vary the template, but it's the same old fraud and the same old website content. The website carries a clear money mule solicitation, their multiple domains were only registered very recently and all their contact and location details are bogus.
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.

Multiconcept Group Inc. : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Multiconcept Group Inc. claim on their website "The company was set up in 1990 in New York, the USA by three enthusiasts who have financial education", but the criminal's domain multiconceptgroupmain.cn was only registered with 广东时代互联科技有限公司& amp; amp; amp; nbsp; (Time Internet Technology Co., Ltd. Guangdong/now.cn) on 16-Mar-2009 for the minimum period of only one year. A clear indication of a fake domain.

ii) A webcheck shows that Multiconcept Group Inc. are not registered in the NY state business register, clear evidence of a fake company. Check for yourself.

iii) Our Partners: They used a fake Serfreport webpage to display a fake news item also to lend legitimacy to their company.The fake webpage is just a page on the criminal's own server.

iv) Our Partners: They use a fake News.de webpage to display a fake news item also to lend legitimacy to their company.The fake webpage is just a page on the criminal's own server.

v) Our Partners: They used a fake Yahoo finance webpage to lend legitimacy to their company by showing a bogus stock figure for the equally bogus Multiconcept Group Inc. The fake webpage is just a page on the criminal's own server.

vi) Our Partners: They used a fake Businesswire webpage to display a fake news item also to lend legitimacy to their company. The fake webpage is just a page on the criminal's own server.

vii)  Our Partners: They use a fake Stockhouse webpage to display a fake news item also to lend legitimacy to their company.The fake webpage is just a page on the criminal's own server.

viii) A Google search shows no internet presence at all for Multiconcept Group Inc. apart from their own fake website, of course and clear evidence of job website spamming.

ix) This scam is related or identical to the numerous scams listed above - this is a serial fraudster.

x) Another alias, another set of clearly fake Location Details (copied from their website)

Main Address:
1301 Race St.,
Philadelphia, PA 19107,
USA

Tel: +1 (610)624-3562
Fax: +1 6109155435

• - They are not listed as a business at the address 1301 Race St., Philadelphia by the Google Maps business listing - clear evidence of fraud.
• - The address 1301 Race St., Philadelphia Googles as the address of the  Hampton Inn Philadelphia Convention Center and not these crooks - clear evidence of fraud.
• - Unsurprisingly, there is no independent Google evidence of this company at the address 1301 Race St., Philadelphia. Here is the Google street view of the building.
• - There are no Google hits for the telephone number +1 (610)624-3562 apart from their own fake website, of course.
• - There are no Google hits for the telephone number +1 6109155435 apart from their own fake website, of course.

xi) A Pennsylvania state business search shows that there is a business named Multiconcept Group Inc registered in Fogelsville PA, but it does not appear to be these criminals - . Check for yourself. It also appears to have zero Google web presence.

DUTIES

We are searching for people to process payments coming from our clients. Multiconcept Group Inc. will provide an agent with detailed instructions as regards payment processing operations including sender full name and amount total for each separate case.

When funds enter employee's bank account, Financial Agent's duty is to withdraw cash and transfer the funds via International Wire Transfer or Western Union/Money Gram money transfer systems. The main advantage of our services is the shortest possible time within which the seller can receive money for the services/goods sold. If this operation is delayed, our clients are entitled to cancel their contract with us and we suffer financial loss. Therefore, successful applicant must be very responsible and careful!

TRIAL PERIOD POLICY

Successful applicants are offered the position on a probationary period basis (1 month). This is the period when a new employee will be trained and receive online support while working and being paid. A personal supervisor can recommend termination during/after the trial period depending on agent's activity. New employee should be responsible and strictly follow supervisor's recommendations to pass the Probationary Period successfully and be employed by us on a regular basis.

SALARY

During the probationary period we offer USD 2,300 monthly salary plus 8% commission for each payment processing operation. For example, an average $5,000 payment will entail $400 commission (but WU/MG fee is paid from this money, please see for more details below). Furthermore, we offer $50 bonus for each transaction completed by 11 a.m. (local time). With the current number of clients, on average, your overall income will amount to up to USD 4,000 per month.

IMPORTANT DETAILS

    * Financial Agent is supposed to process received assets during one business day, i.e. from the moment of money entering his bank account to the moment of re-send to our client in accordance with contract terms. If money enters employee's account on a day-off or holiday, all payment processing procedures have to be completed during the next working day.
    * Financial Agent receives invoices for each transaction every 14 days. This document is a confirmation of transaction validity, and in case of any (if any at all) unforeseen circumstances it will evidence your personal non-participation. All invoices will contain detailed information on money sender and will be both sealed and certified with President's signature.
      *After the Probationary Period completion, invoices will be sent every business day.
    * Since business transfers can be processed with delays, Financial Manager should specify each transfer as a private remittance. This provision is also applicable in case of a third party interest in the transfer.
    * Our clients appreciate our operational efficiency and are ready to pay extra fee for shorter transaction terms. If we manage to deliver goods to buyer within 10 days, the deal is considered to be fulfilled at the earliest possible date.
    * All the fees (WU/MG) are paid from employee's commission. HOWEVER, our company undertakes to reimburse part of expenses which are incurred in connection with money transfer (WIRE or by Western Union/Money gram system) should money transfer charges exceed 3%. All in all, your net profit will amount to 5-8% of the total amount of each payment processing operation.
    * We don't ask for any investment to start cooperating with our company.
    * The company offers incentive bonus program based on work results with regard to several factors, i.e. total sum of money transferred, payment processing time, etc.

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.
