Swiss Erlin Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

Swiss Erlin website screenshot (29-Jan-2009)

This Swiss Erlin criminal fraud website should not be confused with any other company with the same or similar name. The above screenshot and the following evidence defines this criminal alone.

Swiss Erlin is a very widespread reshipping/money laundering fraud scam with many aliases, including Swiss Espe, Serenity Exclusive, Sion Enge, S&E Sales Corp.(Swiss Jewelry) and S&E Sales Corp.(Solar Jewelry). Their identical websites are all based on the genuine Sundrani fine jewelry website template, their identical management teams have various different names but are all stolen from another company, (details below), their domains are all recently registered, their location details are variously bogus and they have no internet presence other than fraud site listings and job website spams. They exist solely to try and give an air of legitimacy to a fake criminal job spamming campaign.

Swiss Erlin : Evidence of Site Theft and Criminal Fraud

i) The Swiss Erlin fraud website domain swiss-erlin.com was only registered with PUBLICDOMAINREGISTRY.COM (MYDOMENS.COM) on 02-Dec-2008 which makes a nonsense of this 'About Us' page puff: "As of today, Swiss Erlin is not only a link in a big chain of the world financial flows, but also an independent segment. Uniting more than 50 jewelry suppliers across the Globe, Swiss Erlin is also a management consulting and outsourcing company, with net revenues of US$15.55 million for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2007".

ii) Following on from the above statement, A Google search for "Swiss Erlin" shows a complete absence of web presence, other than the criminal's own website, fraud site listings, planted questions and an attack site masquerading as an embedded movie.

iii) The criminal's management team is a clearly bogus team - they are all stolen from the genuine Demandware company and their names changed - conclusive and irrefutable evidence of criminal fraud.

iv) The criminal 'Purchasing Agent' job solicitation from the website:

This scam entails the victim purchasing high-value goods on his credit card and shipping them off to these criminals. The mug is then 'recompensed' by stolen funds credited to his credit card, (for which the crooks need to know the details!!!), or to his bank account. Eventually these funds come back as stolen, the victims bank account and all his assets are frozen and he faces large losses and a visit from the police - don't be tempted.

v) The clearly fake location details from the website:

Contact Us

Swiss Erlin Headquarters

Switzerland
33 Alpenstrasse
Kuesnacht, CH, 8700

Phone: +41(44)586 29 58

• - A Google search and a Google Maps check shows that there is no Alpenstrasse in Kuesnacht, Alpenstrasse is on the opposite side of the Zurichsee to Kuesnacht - it is a fake address.
• - The Telephone number +41(44)586 29 58 is a Zurich number and not a Kuesnacht number.
