Tyler Success Group Ltd. Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

Tyler Success Group screenshot:

This criminal fraud website should not be confused with any other company of the same or similar name - the above screenshot of the criminal's website home page and the detailed evidence below are intended to identify this fraudster and this fraudster alone.

Tyler Success Group scam is a standard reshipping fraud operation. The payload of the website is the usual 'reshipping donkey' post of accepting parcels to your home address and reshipping them to these fraudsters in Eastern Europe. The only snag is that the goods have been purchased with stolen credit card data and you are the only identifiable criminal link in the chain. Guess who the police are going to visit.. The criminal has also in the past spamvertised a money mule function.

This familiar 'About Us' text links the criminals to numerous other identical criminal operations:
"In 1997 at the conference "Theory and Practice of Electronic Business" Joel Danst presented his cash-flow distribution theory." The name changes, but the same bogus text is used by many other aliases of this crook such as TradeFinans, Guardian Trading Inc. and MU Trust Company to name but three.

If you've either received an active website link in an Tyler Success Group fraud spam, or know of an active domain and it is not listed in the domain tables below, then please let us know by reporting it using the 'Report Active Domain' option in the title bar above.

Tyler Success Group : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) The criminal's website domain is giftsgroup.info. What has that got to do with Tyler Success Group? It was registered with GoDaddy.com Inc. on 20-Nov-2006 which doesn't make sense considering in the 'About Us' text the claim is made that at the conference in 1997: "The same day Mr. Danst and Tyler made a verbal agreement on practical implementation of the idea by Mr.Tyler. Later this agreement grew into official partners' relations.". The whois data is hidden by Privacy Protect - no genuine company would do that. It is done because the whois data is false and if it were not hidden that would be a reason for suspending the domain.

ii) Exactly the same 'About Us' information above appears on numerous other fraud websites including TradeFinans, Guardian Trading Inc. and MU Trust Company to name but three.

iii) They have absolutely no web presence - a Google search for "Tyler Success Group" returns just the criminal's website and several fraud website listings.

iv) They use the Yahoo.com webmail contact address tyler.group@yahoo.com - no reputable company would use webmail contact addresses for business purposes.

v) The reshipping fraud job from the website:

DISTRIBUTOR

The pertinent portion of all of that is "We are looking for people who can receive and resend goods to our customers worldwide." That is the classic function of the reshipping fraud donkey. There is no need in reality for such a function. What it actually consists of is receiving, at your private address, goods that have been purchased with stolen credit card data obtained by this fraudsters phishing activities and forwarding the stolen goods on to these criminals.

vii) The part time, work from home, "PROCESSING MANAGER" position is clearly the well known and totally illegal money laundering mule position which entails receiving stolen or fraudulent checks into your bank account and immediately wiring them back to the criminals via Moneygram or Western Union. Such activity will get your bank account and your assets frozen, will lose you a lot of money and will get you a criminal record - don't be fooled or tempted.

viii) No legitimate company is going to spamvertise among the untrained, inexperienced and uncertified general population for a part time "PROCESSING MANAGER" or "Distributor". Such propositions define the company without doubt as criminal and fraudulent.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Tyler Success Group criminal's website has been set up by money laundering and reshipping criminals purely for the purpose of spamvertising a reshipping fraud job and an asociated 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 illegal activity - 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.
