N Design Studio, Inc Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

N Design Studio, Inc screenshot 09-Aug-2009

This fraud should not be confused with any other company of the same or similar name - the above website screenshot and the following fraud evidence refer to this company alone and no other. The above website has been stolen from a genuine company.

N Design Studio, Inc is just one of the numerous fake Russian scam sites that exist solely to ensnare the unwary, whether it is to 'phish' for bank details or mainly to recruit money mules. The complete fraud website content has quite clearly been stolen from the verified genuine Russian company Home Design and modified to suit this criminal's purposes, in particular the addition of a 'Careers' menu option that doesn't exist on the genuine website and leads to the criminal's money mule job. The fake website was only recently set up, (for instance, the initial domain ndesigntostudio-inc.com was only registered with the unresponsive registrars MELBOURNE IT, LTD. (Yahoo as reseller) on 20-Jul-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year) and contains a clear money mule solicitation of U.S. Representative/Financial manager under the Careers tab. Notice the illiterate line in the above screenshot "a member of the Europen Chamber of Commerce" - the 'Runglish' style of poor English and grammar is a common thread of these Russian criminals. Their other identical fraud aliases are/were Vidal Architects, Inc, Design Resources, Inc, Design Build Studio, Inc, Design 2 Studio LLC., First Design Group, Design to Perform and DESIGN BUILD INNOVATIONS, L.L.C - this is clearly a serial fraudster which is clear evidence of fraud in itself.

Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) This criminal's website has quite clearly been stolen from the genuine genuine Russian company Home Design so any claims made in it are not relevant to the criminals, although they do carry the claim "Since our company’s founding in 1998, we have assisted numerous corporate and some private individuals around the world" under this 'Careers' menu option. However, the fact that their initial domain ndesigntostudio-inc.com was only registered with MELBOURNE IT, LTD. (Yahoo as reseller) on 20-Jul-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year is clear evidence of fraudulent misrepresentation.

ii) This fraud is simply a follow-on fraud to all their other aliases, including Vidal Architects, Inc, Design Resources, Inc, Design Build Studio, Inc, Design 2 Studio LLC, First Design Group., Design to Perform and DESIGN BUILD INNOVATIONS, L.L.C- clear evidence of a serial fraudster.

iii) As is usual for these criminals, despite claiming to have been in business since 1998, "N Design Studio, Inc" have no Google internet presence at all - clear evidence of a fake company.

iv) The payload of the fake website is the following clear money mule criminal solicitation under the Careers tab:

Why do we need U.S. Representative/Financial manager?

When we initially started operations in the United States, we experienced some issues with US trade laws that can be summarized into two different problems:

   1. All financial services operations have to take place inside the USA
   2. Customers cannot make payments to a company don’t have offices inside the US, even if the company is an industry leader around the world. Our Home Office is located in Russia, which is why customers are not able to directly transfer money (payments for our designs) to our office in Russia. Under US law, the funds must be deposited into the account of the Financial Manager of Staffing Solutions that resides in the USA. Then, it is the Financial Manager’s responsibility to transfer the funds to our business in Russia. The company has to be registered in the US tax administration, which we have already finished. By maintaining a Financial Manager in the US, we are able to solve both of these problems and continue to help the companies that need us in the USA.

Main duties include receiving payments from customers:

   1. Bank checks
   2. Wire transfers
   3. Certified funds

Compensation:

The Financial Manager will be entitled to 5% of all completed transactions. The maximum turnover handled by a single manager is limited the by company’s policy and is set at $100,000 per month. Thus the maximum monthly pay will constitute $3,000-5,000.

Type of Employment:

Agreement

Time Commitment:

2-4 hours per week

Important:

We also have a business proposal for US company owners and managing directors. Private US businesses can accept funds from our customers with no limitations with a monthly turnover of up to 500,000.00 US dollars. Their profit is set at 7.5% of the turnover and may constitute $40,000.00 monthly. Please apply if you have a legal running business and are interested in this offer.

You can combine this job with your current job, because you'll spend no more than 3 hours per week. This job can become perfect addition to your current job.

v) You do not get a much clearer definition of the illegal 'part time' money mule function of receiving stolen funds to a personal checking account and transferring a balance back to these criminals via Western Union or Moneygram which on its own defines the company without doubt as criminal and bogus and is clear evidence of criminal fraud. The potential for absolutely massive fraud is self evident from the "business proposal for US company owners".

vi) No legitimate company is going to advertise for this sort of illegal part time, 'work from home' money transfer position among the untrained, inexperienced and uncertified general population overseas. The additional 'business proposal' shows the potential sheer scale of this criminal fraud operation - don't be part of it or you will lose a lot of money and perhaps your liberty.

vii) This 'Team' doesn't change between aliases, (except for the name of the so-called director, this time the identical face is Zverev Pavel Urevich for a change):

N Design team

viii) They have no location or contact details on their website at all - simply a webform. That's hardly credible for a so-called trading company.

x) The phone number 1(919)709-0277 is the same phone number as used by the Design 2 Studio LLC and DESIGN BUILD INNOVATIONS, L.L.C scammers among others and it locates to Fremont NC. This fraud report refers to it among several others as this Google search shows - clear evidence of criminal fraud.

xi) The Fax. number 1-(206) 337-1186 locates to Seattle WA - they must have a big office.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the N Design Studio, Inc website has been set up very recently by money laundering criminals purely for the purpose of spamvertising an illegal money laundering 'mule' job of receiving 'customer's payments' to a personal checking account and transferring a balance back to these criminals. 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 activity - 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.

The criminal's host is listed as Alta Vista (Yahoo), on IP address 216.39.57.104. Based on previous experience both Melbourne IT and Yahoo will not act on reports of criminal activity in a timely manner so this one could run and run like all the rest of this crook's aliases and generate thousands of unnecessary victims in the process.
