NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT screenshot - 10-Sep-2009

This fraud should not be confused with any other company of the same or similar name - the following fraud evidence defines and refer to this fake company alone and no other.

NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT is just another fake financial site used as a vehicle to legitimise a money laundering mule recruiting fraud scam. It's an identical scam to the Navitex scam, (which was a zombie botnet hosted 'Rockphish' site), and the Western Trust, LLP scam, so the criminal's pedigree is absolutely clear. Their site content has been stolen in part from the Carrley Business Consulting website, their domain neoinvestmentgroup.com was only recently registered for the usual criminals domain minimum period of one year only, they have no genuine third party web recognition, their website uses an off the shelf generic template, (Template 19813 - Navitex Website Template), (and it still doesn't work properly using Firefox), their location details are an accommodation address and they are not a FSA, (Financial Services Authority), registered company, so they are clearly fake. They are also still claiming the fake testimonial: "This is the most reliable thing of thing we've ever used. I'm good to go. I love your system". Reverse IP checks indicate that their host IP, (212.150.164.73), is home to an identical fraud alias, Investment Alliance, LLC, (and other fraud domains), and their other Russian host IP for domain neoinvestmentllp.com, (195.88.190.29), owned by the Russian "Bigness group Ltd. Network", is populated by nothing but numerous fraud, attack and porn domains..

Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) From the above screenshot "We have many years experience" and from their 'About Us' page: "NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT was formed in 2007", but their domain neoinvestmentgroup.com was only registered with BIZCN.COM, INC. on 17-jun-2009 for the usual criminal domain period of one year only. A clear indication of a fraud registration.

ii) The fake NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT website content has quite clearly been stolen in major parts from the genuine company Carrley Business Consulting and modified to suit the criminal's purposes - for example, the criminal's 'About Us' page content is a clear copy of the Carrley Business Consulting 'About Us' page content. Clear evidence of site theft and fraud.

iii) As is usual for these criminals, a Google search shows that "NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT" have no genuine third party internet recognition at all, (ignoring their own fraud website, of course). Do not be fooled by the fact that there is a UK registered company by that name - see below.

iv) The NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT scam is a clear, identical follow-on fraud to the Western Trust, LLP scam. They also have another current identical alias, Investment Alliance, LLC - this is clearly a serial fraudster.

v) The fake testimonials in the above screenshot appear all over the place as they have been generated by this fake testimonial generator hence this meaningless nonsense from the screenshot above: "This is the most reliable thing of thing we've ever used". Try a Google search for the phrase and you'll see what I mean... the same fake testimonial also appeared on the AmexFinance scam so there's another likely alias for this crook.

vi) This Yahoo question refers, indicating fake job spamming.

vii) There is a company registered at the UK 'Companies House' by the name of NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PLC (Company No. 06746058) at the address below. As the website is clearly a serial fraud, the criminals have either stolen an existing registration or have registered their own fake company. In deciding which, it is worth noting that the above registered company was only incorporated on 11-Nov-2008 and has never filed any accounts according to the Companies House data. This is clearly at odds with their 'About Us' page statement: "NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT was formed in 2007" which clearly confirms their fake nature. There is also no genuine telephone number listed for the registered company on 192.com or ukphonebook.com.

viii) 'Contact Us' Details from website:

NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PLC

39 HAMILTON HOUSE ,
1 TEMPLE AVENUE,
LONDON, EC4Y 0HA, UNITED KINGDOM

Phone: +44 (0) 203 287 8617

Fax: +44 (0) 203 287 8617

E-mail: contactus@neoinvestmentgroup.com

• - A Google search for the address "39 HAMILTON HOUSE , 1 TEMPLE AVENUE, LONDON, EC4Y 0HA" shows that the address appears to be an accommodation address for numerous companies, including the one that they have clearly either stolen or created.
• - The single telephone number +44 (0) 203 287 8617 returns the message: "The number you have dialled has not been recognised" if you ring it - it is a fake number.

ix) A webcheck shows that NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT are not registered with the UK FSA, (Financial Services Authority), which means they are not authorised to trade in the financial sector in the UK. Clear & absolutely irrefutable evidence of a fake company. - check for yourself.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the NEO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT website is a fake financial website that has been set up very recently by criminals purely for the purpose of criminal fraud. 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. Historical records link these criminals to the 'Rockphish' group via the identical 'Navitex' fraud.
