Professional Building City Company Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

Professional Building City Company scam screenshot - 06-Mar-2010

Professional Building City Company is just another fake financial site used as a vehicle to legitimise a Russian money laundering mule recruiting and reshipping fraud scam spamming campaign. It's the usual stock glossy 'flash' template that these crooks tend to use, (with annoying muzak & pointless Flash intro.), but the evidence is clear that they are fraudsters, for instance, despite their above website footer of 2004-2010, their domain pbc-company.com was only registered on 14-dec-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain' period of one year only with Directi Internet Solutions Pvt. Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com/WEBSYSTEMS. The sole purpose of the website is to lend an air of credibility to the usual money mule/reshipping fraud mule spamming campaign, (example below). The payload of the site is a very familiar money mule 'job' of 'Customer Manager' and reshipping fraud job of 'Correspondence Manager(Part-Time)' located under the 'Careers' menu option. They have no web presence, their location and contact details are all bogus and they are not a registered business business entity in either of their supposed locations of the UK and Kansas.

The same website part-time, work from home money mule job of "Customer Manager" has also appeared on numerous other fraud pages, I won't list them all, (there are just too many) - just click on these Google searches for "basic tasks from your manager" or "simple financial operations" and you will see that this is a serial criminal operation.

Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) Looking at the above Professional Building City Company home page I can only assume that they have stolen their website content from Russian sources and run it through Google translation, e.g: "We are working progressively in order to achieve the position of leadership in the building industry concerning business headlines, prise rates, and market position. Since Professional Building City deals with material suppliers, architectors, engineers, and other corporations, we reached a great association with the best companies". They claim on their 'About Us' page: "Professional Building City Company was found in 2004", but their website domain, (pbc-company.com) was only registered with Directi Internet Solutions Pvt. Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com/WEBSYSTEMS on 14-dec-2009 for one year only. A clear indication of a fake website and a fake company.

ii) A Google search for "Professional Building City Company" shows that these criminals have no genuine web presence, (ignoring their own fake website, of course), but there is evidence of spamming and fraud.

iii) There is no company by the name of "Professional Building City Company" registered at either of their two claimed locations - they are not listed in the UK Companies House register and they are not listed in the Kansas business entity register - Check for yourself. Irrefutable evidence of a fake company and fraud.

iv) The true purpose of the website is to lend legitimacy to a job website and email spamming campaign attempting to recruit money laundering mules. Here is the money mule job that they publish on their own website under the 'Careers' tab:

Customer Manager

Principal Duties:

-Doing some basic tasks from your manager:
-Managing personal assets
- Making simple financial operations;
- Working part-time.

Requirements:

- High school or college or 1+ years experience in management;
- Basic computer, good verbal and grammar skills;
- Opportunity to remote work;
- Well developed analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills
- Strong operational background and knowledge
- Exceptional people skills
- Problem solving skills
- Top notch communication and writing skills

v) The above job is defined by the sentences:

- Managing personal assets;
- Making simple financial operations.

and has appeared on numerous other websites for these criminal fraudster as Google searches for "basic tasks from your manager" and "simple financial operations" make clear. Irrefutable evidence of serial criminal fraud.

vi) Here is the reshipping fraud job, also published under the Careers tab:

Correspondence Manager

PRINCIPAL DUTIES:
- Checking goods* for performance capacity, defects and mechanical damages,
- Packing the given goods, filling in the acceptance form, indicating all defects and damages found,
- Sending goods to Sales Manager.

* All parcels pass the control in the International Package Center, we care about your security.

ADDITIONAL DUTIES
- Assistance in company’s financial business

REQUIRED SKILLS
- Team work

Do not be misled - the first of the two tasks involves accepting stolen funds to your personal bank account and transferring a balance to these crooks. The second involves accepting goods bought with stolen funds to your home address and reshipping/transferring them off to these fraudsters in Russia or the Ukraine. Don't be fooled by either illegal fake job or you will end up losing a lot of money, having your bank account and your assets frozen and possibly ending up with a criminal record as those are the classic illegal money laundering mule and reshipping fraud functions.

ix) You do not get a clearer description of the ILLEGAL money mule function of accepting stolen funds to your personal bank account and transferring a balance back to the criminals via Western Union than that - it will lose you a lot of money, get your bank account closed and your assets frozen and earn you a visit from the police. Do not be tempted or you will certainly regret it.

x) No legitimate company would advertise for private citizens to operate as unlicensed and illegal money transfer agents. To do so clearly defines this fake company as both criminal and fraudulent.

xi) the Fake contact details from the website: (Remember that these criminals are not registered in either the UK's Companies House register or the Kansas business entity register, (check for yourself), so their location details are not going to be genuine).

• - A Google search for the address "66207 W 95th St, Overland Park, KS" returns no hits for these crooks, (ignoring the criminal's own website, of course).
• - A Google Maps Business search for the address "66207 W 95th St, Overland Park, KS" shows no such business at the address.
• - A USPS zip code check for the above address returns the message "The address was not found." - it is undoubtedly a fake address.
• - A Google Search for the US telephone number "+1 785-783-5565" returns no results for these criminals, (ignoring the criminal's own website, of course). However, it returns this fraud hit.
• - A Google Search for the US Fax. number "+1 786-431-4071" returns no results for these criminals, (ignoring the criminal's own website, of course). However, it returns this fraud hit.
• - Their telephone number 785-783-5565 locates to Topeka, KS, not Overland Park, and their Fax. number 786-431-4071 locates to Miami, FL - they must have a big office - clear evidence of fraud.
• - The address "Ecclesall Rd Sheffield" is just a road - there is no locating information - clearly fake.

xii) They are not a business listed in the UK telephone directory - check for yourself - clear evidence of a fake company.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Professional Building City Company website has been set up very recently by money laundering criminals purely for the purpose of spamvertising an illegal money laundering 'mule' job with an attendant reshipping fraud 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 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.
