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.

NIXON CONSULT, LLC. is a fake website that has been set up very recently for only one purpose - to lend an air of legitimacy to a money mule recruitment campaign. It uses the same website template as the IC Audit & Consulting fraud and their website content is stolen from the Stonegate Growth Strategies, Ltd. website. The posted money mule job of 'Financial Representative' is identical to the one posted by the fraud site Toft Business Group, linking the two together. Their fake machine generated testimonials, e.g. "This is the most reliable thing of thing we've ever used" link this scam to the Navitex and Western Trust, LLP scams among others which links it to the 'Rockphish' group. The same fake testimonial also appeared on the AmexFinance scam so this crook's pedigree is fairly evident. The whole purpose of the website is to advertise and to lend credibility to the inevitable illegal money mule job of 'Financial Representative' which is posted on the website. As per usual their website domain(s) are very recently registered, (domain nixonconsult.com was only registered with MELBOURNE IT, LTD. (Yahoo as reseller) on 08-jan-2009 for the usual criminal's domain minimum period of only one year), their location details are bogus and they have no internet presence.

Evidence of Spamming and Criminal Fraud:

i) As their website content is stolen from Stonegate Growth Strategies, Ltd., their claims are largely irrelevant, suffice to say that NIXON CONSULT, LLC. have no Google internet presence, zero hits in fact apart from their own fake website, so their claims of legitimacy are clearly bogus.

ii) The payload of the website is the following clear illegal money laundering mule job under the 'Careers' tab:

It is not important where did you work before or where are you working now, but if you have combination possibility, you are sociable, responsible and self-exacting, you have a magnificent opportunity to become our employee and to receive high income.

iii) You do not get a clearer description of the ILLEGAL money mule function than that - it will get your bank account and your assets frozen, lose you a lot of money and earn you a visit from the police. Do not be tempted.

iv) No legitimate company would advertise for private citizens to operate as unlicensed and illegal money transfer agents. To do so clearly defines the NIXON CONSULT, LLC. company as both criminal and fraudulent. There is also a 'phishing' for identity theft aspect due to the nature of identity proof usually requested upon registration. Clear evidence of criminal fraud.

v) These fake testimonials appear all over the place as they have been generated by this fake testimonial generator hence the meaningless nonsense "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 this crook's pedigree is fairly evident.

vi) Their location and contact details from the website:

78-40 164th Street,
Fresh Meadows, NY
Phone: (718) 407-4013
Fax: (718) 732-2058
E-mail: info@nixonconsult.com

• - A Google search on the address 78-40 164th Street, Fresh Meadows, NY fails to return any hits for these criminals
• - There is no Google Maps listing for NIXON CONSULT, LLC. at that address.
• - The telephone number (718) 407-4013 locates as a Brooklyn number and not a Fresh Meadows number.
• - The Fax. number (718) 732-2058 locates as a New York City number and not a Fresh Meadows number.
• - The Fax. number (718) 732-2058 Googles as the fax number of the US office of the Hong Kong electronics distributor company Sandipak Hi-Technology (HK) Limited
All clear evidence of fake details.

vii) A webcheck shows that NIXON CONSULT, LLC. are not registered in the NY state business register, irrefutable evidence of a fake company. Check for yourself.

The above evidence is clear proof that the NIXON CONSULT, LLC. website is a fraudulent website set up using stolen content with intent to deceive. 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.

The host for this criminal is Yahoo on the often used criminal's IP of 68.180.151.74. Yahoo are unfortunately currently very slow to respond to abuse reports and these criminals have an easy ride as a result which is why they use Yahoo so much - it's a vicious circle that Yahoo either don't seem to grasp or are incapable of getting to grips with.

The host for this criminal is Altavista/Yahoo on the often used criminal's IP of 216.39.57.104. Altavista/Yahoo are unfortunately currently obstructive and very slow to act on abuse reports of criminal activity, (if at all), and these criminals have an easy ride as a result which is why they use Yahoo so much - it's a vicious circle that Yahoo either don't seem to grasp or are incapable of getting to grips with.
