This fraudster should not be confused with any legitimate company of the same or similar name - the following website graphics and the fraud evidence are intended to clearly identify the fake website, these fraudsters and no other company.

Realty One is another Russian money laundering mule fraud from the scammers that brought you many of the other frauds on this website including the Penton & Sullivan Ltd series of scams and dozens of other Russian scam, spam and attack websites, including Euro-Transfer Group which then link to First Global Road, Priority Global Road, AFC Financial Services, ABC Realty Brokers etc etc. This fraud is textually identical to the  Treenity Real Estate, Infinity Real Estate and Casa Blanca Real Estate scams. As usual they claim to have been in business for years, but they have no web presence, their cobbled together site content is stolen from various places and their domain was only relatively recently registered and their contact details are fake. They have assumed the identity of an undoubtedly genuine UK company of the same name; unfortunately they have picked one that has now been dissolved. The purpose of the website is to lend an air of legitimacy to the clear money laundering mule position advertised under the 'Careers' menu option.

Realty One : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Realty One claim on the 'About Us' page of their website:
"Since 1998, Realty One has been a leader in the dramatic transition of the gulf coast from a tiny village of beach cottages to a major resort destination. During these decades, Realty One has cultivated numerous relationships and earned the trust of both the island residents and enthusiastic newcomers.", but the criminal's domain realtyone.co.uk was only registered with Key-Systems GmbH on 09-Jul-2008.

ii) The above text has been stolen from this genuine Meyer Real Estate page.

iii) This 'About Us' page text: "Realty One is a privately held, full service real estate brokerage company located in southern United Kingdom. Linda Thiel is Owner and Chairman of the Board. Ronald Grohl is the President and CEO. Realty One Treatment is ours exclusive guarantee that you will always receive Service, Trust, Accessibility and Results from everyone in the organization. This state-of-the art headquarters provides evidence of our commitment to remain sensitive to the natural surroundings and protect the mature oaks already established on the property." has also been stolen from Meyer Real Estate and somewhat mangled in an attempt to make it fit....

iv) This 'About Us' page text: "Our vision is to manage the economic resources available to us in the most efficient way possible, to adopt the most efficient tools readily available in the market to facilitate prompt and satisfactory results in our services to you and nourish the idea of acceleration, advancement and enhancing the virtues of a real estate world market by excellence." has been stolen from this Villa Care Kenya page.

v) Their above homepage content has been stolen directly from the homepage of 'Properties in Europe'.

vi) Their 'Privacy Policy' has been copied directly from Brin Investment.

vii) This all serves to prove beyond any doubt that the Realty One website is composed of content stolen from various places and cobbled together like a patchwork quilt. Clear evidence of misrepresentation and fraud.

viii) A Google search for "Realty One" shows that among a whole plethora of 'Realty One' companies, this particular fraudster has no web presence whatsoever.

ix) Fake Contact details from their website:

Address: 84 Richmond Wood Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8 9DJ, UK

Phone: +44 020 3286 6521

Fax: +44-020 3014-8454

USA Fax: +1 866-673-4066

Managers:
Susan Roberts: susan_roberts@realtyone.co.uk
Julia Nowak: julia_nowak@realtyone.co.uk

• - The address 84 Richmond Wood Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH8 9DJ, UK was also used as a location address by the Great Expedition scammers. It is a residential street of detached houses, some converted to flats, which Googles as the registered office address for a number of genuine real estate business registrations. It is certainly not the crook's "state-of-the art headquarters" as quoted from their stolen 'About Us' page. (The address has been confirmed as a genuine business registration address that these thieves have misappropriated for their own purposes).
• - The telephone numbers +44 020 3286 6521 and +44-020 3014-8454 are both London numbers and not Bournemouth numbers.
• - The telephone number +44 020 3286 6521 responds with the message "the number you have dialled has not been recognised" - it does not exist.
• - A Google search for the USA Fax. number +1 866-673-4066 returns zero results.
All Clear evidence of fake details and fraud.

Loans & Investment Regional Assistant position

(Realty One Ltd., UK)

Human Resources Department

written May 2009

Vacancy Announcement Number: RF-19/L

Opening Date: 05/25/2009

Closing Date: Open until filled.

Duty Location: United States of America.   

JOB DESCRIPTION

To simplify the work of Loans & Investment Regional Assistant during the trial period, our
company offers you to read carefully the description below.

Your job will mostly consist of dealing with our US customers or our clients' partners. Some of
them prefer to cover bills or to pay debts on loans by international money transfers, while we're
unable to collect those receivables in a timely manner, as it takes up to 1 month to clear.

Our business requires fast cash flow and therefore we're looking for representatives that can
process local US payments for our company and its European customers. It's a lot easier for us to
pay commission to our representatives and have the funds ready the next day than wait for
weeks until the funds clear in our account.

You will have to receive payments from our customers and once cleared forward the amount that
you have received, minus your commission and other transfer expenses, to a loan and / or
investment company representative in Europe. We used to use our bank account to receive wires
directly but because of financial crisis most banks in Europe transfer funds from the checking
account to the deposit account and then freeze it for an unlimited time, because most banks
experience shortage of funds. Therefore we prefer to use Western Union or Money Gram to
receive transfers, to avoid all the unnecessary delays in our work.

The Assistant, pursuant to the contract, will not be liable for any taxes in the United States. You
will transfer the money received from our customers out of the country and therefore will not be
liable for taxes. You will only be liable for your regular income tax on the commission received.

Our company respects your privacy and will never share your personal or any other type of sensitive
information. In this lieu you can open a new bank account for your work. Therefore your personal finances
will not be interfered with our business funds in case of using your personal bank account for any other
things.

The account used should be under your name. In case you decide to use a corporate account, it must be
under the name of your company.
 
Requirements for work in accordance with this position:

1. Not less than 18 years old;
2. Internet access to reply emails promptly;
3. Good credit history with your Bank (new bank account is a possible option);
4. Absolute absence of criminal offenses or convictions;
5. Proficient in computer window-based programs with excellent navigational skills;
6. Ability to deal with deadlines;
7. To provide the following bank account information (after signing the employment agreement):
 
o  Bank name;

o Address of the bank;

o Account number;

o Routing number;

o Name on the account;

o Type of the account;

o On-line access to your bank account (upon request).

8. Assistant must monitor mailbox and bank account's available balance (activity) during the workday and on demand of a manager.
9. Assistant must be available by phone and by computer (email) during the workday.
10. Ability to visit a bank for money withdrawal on demand of a manager.

Position Summary

Employment type: Contract.

Salary rate: $2,000 fixed monthly salary (30 days).

Commission per transaction is 5% during the trial period; 7% after the trial period.

Trial period: 4-5 weeks.
Successful applicants are offered the position on a trial period (1 month). This is a period when
new employee will be trained and receive online support while working and being paid. A personal
supervisor can recommend termination during/after the trial period depending on agent's activity.
New employee needs to be responsible and strictly follow our recommendations in order to pass
the Trial Period successfully.

All applicants must pass a background check. Also, successful applicants must sign the
Executive Employment Agreement with us.

If you have any questions or need advice, please contact us by e-mail careers@realtyone.co.uk.
Just further confirmation of the illegal nature of the bogus job.
The above evidence demonstrates beyond doubt that the Realty One website has been set up by money laundering criminal fraudsters purely for the purpose of spamvertising an illegal money laundering 'mule' 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.
