Proteus Solutions Scam

Proteus Solutions Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

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

Proteus Solutions scam screenshot (21-Feb-2010)

Proteus Solutions is just another clearly fraudulent money mule recruiting spammer, (sample spam below), and scammer using a stolen website and identity. The spam is more or less identical to the spam sent out by other scammers such as OnlineOfficeSource, OnlineCompanySite Inc, CurrencySource (Stolen Identity & Site), Zexchange and InterWeb Exchange scammers. Their domain proteus-solutions.org was only registered with DomainContext, Inc. (R1744-LROR) on 12-Feb-2010 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year as were all their others, (see tables below for details), and their undoubtedly fake whois details are masked by Privacy Protect. The above site content is stolen, their location and contact details are bogus and they are not a registered company. The name of a previous alias, (OnlineCompanySite Inc), still appears in the Terms & Conditions on their registration page and they are still using the same address details of their previous InterWeb Exchange alias. Irrefutable evidence of serial fraud.

The whole purpose of this fraud site is to lend an air of legitimacy to a 'Money Mule' job that consists of accepting stolen funds to your home address, and transferring a balance back to these crooks in Russia/the Ukraine via Western Union or Moneygram. It will get your bank account and your assets frozen, lose you a lot of money and earn you a criminal record - don't be tempted. Their fraud website uses the usual 'off the shelf' template, in this case the Drupal 'Proteus Solutions' template number 27334.

Proteus Solutions : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) The above Proteus Solutions fraud website home page content is the same as their previous InterWeb Exchange alias and has been stolen from this company and includes a registration portal for a money laundering mule role which is being spamvertised in the usual way. Clear evidence of site theft and fraud.

ii) The criminals claim on their above home page, "Established in 1990, Proteus is the worldwide leader in Foreign Exchange Payments and Services. Proteus works closely and exclusively with the world's largest banks and financial institutions", but the criminal's domain proteus-solutions.org was only registered with DomainContext, Inc. (R1744-LROR) on 12-Feb-2010 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year as were all their others, (see tables below for details). - clear evidence of a criminal fraud registration.

iii) They are spamvertising the job of “Executive Manager” which has no website details at all - just a registration form for you to record your personal details - don't do it as it is simply a doorway to enrolling you in an illegal operation which at the very least will cost you a lot of money. If you read the copyright notice in the box on the registration form, you will see it currently refers to 'OnlineCompanySite Inc', (their previous alias) - clear evidence of serial fraud.

iv) No legitimate company would advertise for private citizens to operate as part-time, work from home "Financial Managers". To do so clearly defines the fake Proteus Solutions 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. Do not be fooled.

v) Stolen & Fake contact details from their website: (N.B. - these are the same fake address details as used for their previous InterWeb Exchange alias)

Contact Us
Vainonkatu 3, 40100 Jyvaskyla, Finland.
Local Phone: +4(014) 653 211
US phone: +1 (315)8424277

• - A Google Search for the address "Vainonkatu 3, 40100 Jyvaskyla, Finland" returns no hits for these criminals, (ignoring their own fake website, of course). In fact it is the address of the Cumulus Hotel Jyvaskyla. Clear evidence of a fake address and fraud.
• - A Google Maps Business Search and street view confirms that these criminals are not at that address.
• - The 'local phone' telephone number +4(014) 653 211 is clearly not a genuine Finnish number, (Finland country code is +358 for a start).
• - A Google search for the fake telephone number "+4(014) 653 211" only returns their previous InterWeb Exchange alias and my fraud listing for them.
• - A Google search for the telephone number "+1 (315)8424277" only returns the crooks previous InterWeb Exchange fake website and no other hits.
All clear evidence of fake location and contact details.

vi) A search of the Finnish BIS (Business Information System) shows that there is no such company as "Proteus Solutions" registered in Finland - check for yourself - it is undoubtedly a fake company - irrefutable evidence of fraud.

vii) The Spam:

Dear xxxxxx

We found your curriculum vitae on the CareerBuilder therefore our HR department looked through your curriculum vitae and length of service and highly recommends you for the position of an "Executive Manager" in our company.

Your position will consist of:

Filling in of report on on the carried out work on time
Maintaining of records of customers in the USA
Support customers with all the needed information
Maintaining of financial deals within the USA

You'll get the detailed information over the telephone interview.
We need a person:

Age: starting from 25
Citizenship: US
Time: from 3 to 5 hours of free time daily for carrying out his,her obligations

The pay makes up to 5000USD per month. The pay will be carried out to your bank account monthly.

There are many applicants wishing to take up this position therefore we're nicely asking you not to put away with your decision about this position.

You may find all the rest information on our website

Please fill in all the fields correctly, while data will be checked by our
security department.
Pass an interview over the phone.

We really appreciate your wish to join our company and we're looking forward to a long-term cooperation.

The above is the usual vague 'Runglish' description of the offered role which is commonplace now as the crooks try to evade detection, but make no mistake, the sentence "Maintaining of financial deals within the USA" and the clearly fake nature of the stolen website guarantees that it is the illegal 'Money Laundering Mule' function of accepting funds to your personal bank account and transferring a balance back to these criminals in Russia or the Ukraine. The transferred money eventually comes back as stolen and is recovered by the bank, leaving you out of pocket by the amount you have tranferred and facing some awkward questions about why you are involved in criminal fraud. Do not be tempted.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the fake Proteus Solutions website has been stolen and has set up by criminal fraudsters purely for the purpose of spamvertising a 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 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.
