Second Hand Sale Ltd Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

Second Hand Sale Ltd scam screenshot (28-Oct-2009)

This fraudster should not be confused with any legitimate company of the same or similar name - the above website graphics clearly identify the fake website and these fraudsters alone.

Second Hand Sale Ltd scam. This is a straight criminal fraud operation where criminals have made up a fake company and have produced the above fake website with the apparent purpose of 'selling' non-existent machinery or 'helping' you to sell your machinery. At the end of the day the sole intention of these crooks is to part you from a large amount of money. The apparent modus operandi of this criminal is the same as the Kell Quip Ltd. fraudster. They have other aliases of UK LEADING AUTO MOTO GARAGE, farm-equipments.net Ltd (Farmers Garage), discountfarm.net Ltd., Central-Garages-Ltd, HPS Motorcycles Ltd., Machinery Garage Ltd, Tractors Agiaffairs Ltd and Tractors Sale Ltd involved in similar criminal fraud activity and fake transport companies such as Auto Cargo Co (Global Lines Co) and TransitSystem-Express that these criminals often use as a fake 'trusted' third party. Needless to say, their domain second-hand-sale.com was only recently registered for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year, their location and contact details are fake and they are not a genuine registered company in the UK. This fraud seems to be of Eastern-European origin and is covered in depth here.

Second Hand Sale Ltd : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) The criminal's domain second-hand-sale.com was only registered with ENOM, INC. (Surftown Domains) on 16-oct-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain' minimum period of only one year. A clear indication of a fraudulent registration

ii) A Google search shows absolutely no internet presence at all for "Second Hand Sale Ltd", apart from their own fake website, of course.

iii) A check of the UK Companies House registry shows that the Second Hand Sale Ltd company is not a registered UK company - clear evidence of fraud.

iv) The following fake staff from their 'About Us' page are common to other aliases as listed above:

Stephen Morrison - Stephen is at the origin of the concept of Second-Hand-Sale. He is the founder of Second-Hand-Sale.

Richard Coleman - Richard is the manager of . Is co-founder of Second-Hand-Sale.

Timothy Roberts - Timothy worked for the DRIRE Ile-de-France and later for the Bank of France. A former student of the Ecole Polytechnique and a member of the Corps des Mines, Timothy is co-founder of Second-Hand-Sale.

Jerry Moore - Jerry was the commercial director in France. Co-founder of the company, we are benefiting from its know-how and its negotiating skills.

Sandra Johnson - Before joining Second-Hand-Sale, Sandra took care of forecasts at the European level of Claas. During her studies at the School of Foreign Trade, she worked for John Deere export marketing. Sandra is responsable for the editorial content and partnerships.

v) Fake Location Details (from their website)

N.B. - as these fakers are not a legal UK registered company, it follows that the following contact/location details are going to be fake:

Second-Hand-Sale
Holmbush Farm
Crawley Road, Faygate
West Sussex, RH12 4SE
United Kingdom

Phone / Fax: 0044-206-202-3728

• - These are the same fake details that they used for their Central-Garages-Ltd and Tractors Sale Ltd scams - they are the location details of a genuine Holmbush Farm - the crooks have simply stolen them - clear evidence of fraud.
• - A Google search for the phone number "0044-206-202-3728" returns no hits apart from the criminals fraud sites, of course.
• - Calling the number 0206-202-3728 gives a "the number you have dialled has not been recognised" message - it is a fake number - it also Googles as the number for other clear fraud sites such as Auto Cargo Co (Global Lines Co) and UK Leading Auto Moto Garage which are clearly related scams.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Second Hand Sale Ltd website has been set up by serial fraudsters for the purpose of criminal deception. 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.
