This fraudster should not be confused with any other company that may have a similar name. The website graphics and the evidence below identify this criminal.

Shopping Provider is a 'Purchase Agent' job spamvertising website. It's an identical follow on scam to the Shopping Assistance fraud and they have an identical alias of 2 Affordable. Through those two sites they are related to numerous others including - Global Network Solutions, Ace Rentals and Air Parcel Express fraudsters among others - search my home page with ns1.bdns.co.cr or 115.126.5.50 to see a more complete list of this prolific fraudsters aliases.

They make the (illiterate) claim on the above screenshot: "Our company has been build a few years ago", but their domain was only registered on 20-Jan-2009, they have no web presence, they are advertising a clear purchase agent job and their location details are bogus. In other words just a standard every day criminal fraud website created to fool the unwary into applying for a criminal 'job' with them which consists of using your credit card account to purchase goods which you then ship off to them and they re-imburse your credit card account directly with stolen funds. This means, of course, you have to give these criminal fraudsters your credit card details which I would suggest is not the most brilliant of ideas.

Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) You'll notice in the above screenshot that they state in fluent Runglish: "Our company has been build a few years ago", yet their website domain shopping-provider.com was only registered with BIZCN.COM, INC. on 20-Jan-2009. Clearly a lie and as such a clear indication of fraud.

ii) Despite their above claim of being in business for years, a Google search for "Shopping Provider" shows that their their fake company has no web presence.

iii) This 'Purchase Agent' job of "Personal Shopper" is posted on their website under the 'Vacancies' menu option:
