Spintex A.G. scam

Spintex A.G. Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

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

Spintex A.G. scam screenshot (14-Nov-2009)

Spintex A.G. fraud is a fake financial company that is the vehicle for a money laundering mule job spamvertised by the usual spam campaign aimed at recruiting mules for their criminal activities. They claim on their screenshot above to have been in business since 1973, but their initial domain spintexag.com was only registered with EASYSPACE LTD, on 16-Jul-2009 for the usual criminal fraud domain minimum period of only one year. The purpose of the website is to carry and lend legitimacy to the usual part-time, work from home money laundering mule job under the 'Vacancies' menu option. Their location details are fake, their website content is the same as used by another fraudster and they have no genuine web presence, (they have clearly stolen the name of another totally different, (inactive), company in a different field). This fraud is an identical clear follow-on, (or more likely preceding), fraud to the ESKOFORT A.G. scam - this is a serial fraudster. The website has apparently been stolen from another well documented as fraudulent website, Coldwell, Seymour & Robinson Corporation, aka 'CSR Corporation', aka 'Whitherspoon, Seymour & Robinson', (now extinct, but their old website domain wsr-corporation.com redirects to csr-corporation.com).

Spintex A.G. : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Spintex A.G. claim on their website screenshot above, "Specialising in international corporate law since 1973, CSR are established as the market leader in this field", (note the accidental inclusion of CSR which betrays the content theft), but the criminal's domain spintexag.com was only registered with EASYSPACE LTD, on 16-Jul-2009 for the usual criminal fraud domain minimum period of only one year. A clear indication of misrepresentation and fraud

ii) Despite their above grandiose claim, a Google search for these crooks only shows another clearly different (inactive) company of the same name but with different details who operated in a different field when they were active. This particular Spintex A.G. have absolutely no web presence whatsoever, ignoring any occurrence of their fake website, of course.

iii) Stolen site content - the main site content is exactly the same as this company, (widely documented as fraudulent). Their testimonials have been stolen from this genuine company.

iv) The fraudster's job of 'Regional Assistant' is exactly the same one as published by the Realty One scammers and is a clear 'money mule' solicitation.

v) Fake Location Details (copied from their website) N.B. - these are the same fake details as for their ESKOFORT A.G. alias.

• - The address "Alte Passwangstrasse 506" Googles as the address of GPV Electronics AG and not these criminals.
• - The European telephone number is clearly fake, for a start the country code '+45' is for Denmark, not Switzerland.
• - A Google search for the phone number "+45 36 95 04 09" returns no results for these crooks, (ignoring their fake website, of course) - just my listing for their previous alias.
• - A Google search for the phone number "+1 302 343 7072" returns no results for these crooks, (apart from their own fake website, perhaps) - it is located in Hartly, DE.

vi) A Swiss Federal Company Register search shows no current listing for the company "Spintex". It does not exist in Switzerland - it is irrefutably a fake company.

The pertinent words there are "Processing transactions of our customers and their partners". It is a money laundering mule position that will get your account closed, your assets frozen and will earn you a visit from the police. Do not be tempted or you will also lose a great deal of money when the 'payments' come back as fraudulent. There is no genuine job to be had here.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Spintex A.G. website has been set up by criminal fraudsters purely for the purpose of illegal activity. 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.
