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

Vestiga Travel is just a standard scam website that has been set up to form a front for a money laundering job spamming campaign.The site content is exactly the same as used for their other aliases, Star Travel and Paradise Touristics. Their domain vestigatravel.com was only registered on 11-Dec-2008 with BIZCN.COM, INC., for the usual criminal domain one year period and the bogus location/contact details are the same as for their Star Travel and Paradise Touristics aliases and are easily demonstrated to be fake. A Google search shows that "Vestiga Travel" have absolutely no genuine web presence at all. They are not a registered company in Spain.

Vestiga Travel  : Evidence of Criminal Fraud

i) Vestiga Travel claim on their website home page "The tour operator Vestiga Travel has been successfully operating in the travel services market since 1997", but the criminal's domain vestigatravel.com was only registered with BIZCN.COM, INC., on 11-Dec-2008 for the usual criminal domain period of one year. A clear indication of a fraudulent registration.

ii) A Google search shows absolutely no genuine internet presence at all for this particular Vestiga Travel. If they had indeed been in business since 1997 they would have a large presence. The fact that they do not is clear evidence of a fake company. There is also tremendous evidence of fake job website spamming.

iii) Fake Website Contact Details:
Contact Information
San Bernardo 44 28013
Telephone +34 915 470 294
USA phone +1 786 245 5113

• - The postcode for the address San Bernardo 44, Madrid is incorrect - a check on the Spanish postcode website shows it should be 28015 and not 28013.
• - The corrected address San Bernardo 44 28015 Madrid Spain actually belongs to the "Escuela Superior de Canto de Madrid" or the "Top Singing School of Madrid" - here's the Google street view of it showing no sign of any of these crooks. Absolutely irrefutable evidence of fake address details and fraud.
• - The above address and telephone number are identical to their Star Travel and Paradise Touristics aliases - clear evidence of fraud.
• - There are no Google hits for the telephone number +34 915 470 294
• - There are no Google hits for the US number +1 786 245 5113

iv) The company Vestiga Travel is not registered in the Spanish company register (CORPME) - irrefutable evidence of a fake company and fraud.

v) The fraud site content is exactly the same as the site content for their other aliases, Star Travel and Paradise Touristics.

vii) The Yahoo question

viii) The Ripoff report

ix) The identical alias Star Travel has been explored in more depth - it all applies equally well to this same criminal's alias.
The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Vestiga Travel website has been set up by fraudsters for criminal purposes. 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.
