If you've either received an active website link in a Walker & Sons Inc 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.
This Walker & Sons Inc criminal fraud website with content stolen from Ernst & Young and HLB international should not be confused with any other company of the same name. The above website graphics and the following content define this criminal alone.

Walker & Sons Inc (Walker&Sons) is the latest fraud from the money laundering department of the well known 'Rockphish/Asprox' phishing criminals. It is the replacement zombie botnet hosted fraud for the Sunreef Yachts criminal fraudster and in fact is still using the same PFA-BOSTAN-TUDOR-TEODOR  (Jump.ro) botnet nameserver host IP 89.46.37.173 as was used for the Sunreef Yachts fraud et al and uses a generic flash banner with website content stolen from the Ernst & Young website. They are also claiming to be partners with the international accounting firm HLB International & HLB Nathans - this is a lie and the HLB company have published a fraud warning of these criminals on their home page.

The payload of the site is the usual clear money laundering mule fake job which is also heavily spamvertised, (spam copy below). If you are a registrar or a host who has received an abuse report concerning this criminal then please review the irrefutable evidence below and take prompt and permanent action to shut this criminal down. The stolen Ernst & Young content and the fake claim of partnership with HLB link this site inextricably with other frauds such as NTI Consult and
IC Audit & Consulting and via them to many others. Most of the criminal's current known domains are/were registered with the registrar 123-reg.co.uk/Webfusion (GX Networks Ltd) as were Sunreef Yachts domains and Green Tree (Warehousing) Ltd fraud domains.

Current Zombie Botnet Controller Hosts

Mountain Cablevision LTD./Clearance Rack Inc - ns1.paradiserouse.com [24.213.90.172] - Notified 22-Oct-2008
WholeSale Internet, Inc./Webhostone - ns1.americanstool.com [208.110.88.88] - 



The above table shows the current providers of
zombie botnet hosting services to the criminals and how long they have been providing them for. The decent ethical majority of service providers, (all credit to them - they are a pleasure to deal with), act within 1-24 hours of being informed of the criminal abuse of their system, (the best in less than 1 hour), but there are unfortunately some thatfor whatever reason, do not. Any hosting company that remains in the above list for more than 48 hours has unfortunately not responded positively to abuse reports and may possibly be a 'blackhat' or even a criminal controlled host.

If you are an abuse team that has taken action, please let me know so that I may remove the above record and update the data.

Walker & Sons Inc (Walker&Sons) : Evidence of Site Theft and Criminal Fraud

i) The Walker & Sons Inc (Walker&Sons) fraud website is hosted on a 7-IP 'Fastflux' zombie botnet on exactly the same IP address (89.46.37.173) as was latterly used for the Sunreef Yachts fraud as evidenced below - No legitimate company would use a zombie botnet to host their website - irrefutable evidence of criminality.

ii)  The Walker & Sons website contains the usual part-time, working from home, clear money mule function advertised as "Financial Coordinator" under the 'Careers' tab which is the only post that is also advertised in the criminal's spam, (sample below):
Financial Coordinator

Job summary :

As a regional Financial Coordinator for our company you will be responsible to administer customer payments. You will help to fasten customer settlements and payments delivery. You will participate in internal and external company funds flow to speed up maturity of bills and other transactions. We need you to support our international team to be able to raise capital, attract more and more customers and expand into new economical markets and assist in the development of the company in general.

The above role is clearly the ILLEGAL role of a money laundering mule. Notice the illiterate trademark phrase  'fasten customer settlements and payments delivery' that these criminals always use. The fake 'job' will get your bank account and your assets frozen and will get you a visit from the police and possibly earn you a criminal record. Don't be tempted.

iii) The criminal's website content is largely stolen from the Ernst & Young website, (in particular compare the criminal's home page with the Ernst & Young 'About Us' page), with minor modifications. This is their way of getting around the usual 'Runglish' that generally gives these criminal's game away - wherever they use their own content it becomes obvious.

iv)
The
criminal's spam contains forged header information and the usual bayesian filter avoidance 'white text' code that irrefutably link it to the Cronos Investment, Draper Investment, Harvey Investment, Adamant Global, Sydney Car Centre, Waller Truck, Newman, Esmond and Eisenberg, Green Tree (Warehousing) Ltd, Sunreef Yachts and all this criminal's many other aliases along with the 'rockphish' and 'Asprox' phishing criminals.

v) The criminal's spams, (example follows), contain the illegal money mule function of accepting payments into a private bank account and transferring them back out to the criminals less 10% via Moneygram or Western Union - clear and irrefutable evidence of solicitation to commit money laundering fraud.

vi) The Spam Content

The
Walker & Sons Inc spam headers contain many different forged/bogus 'From' & 'Return Path' addresses & various forged 'Receive' lines. The subject lines vary & all indicate that there is a job opportunity to be had. There is - an illegal job as a money laundering 'mule' or transfer fraud victim, i.e. accepting stolen or counterfeit proceeds into your account and forwarding them on via Western Union or Moneygram for a percentage cut. Needless to say it is these mules that will probably feel the full weight of the law while the remote money launderers are safe. The bogus or stolen funds in the mules account may well also be recovered, leaving them with large losses.

• - They are not registered at Germany's 'Companies House' - clear evidence of fraud
• - Their bogus German address of Brahmsstrasse 10 is actually the address of the Schlosshotel Im Grunewald, Berlin - Clear evidence of fraud.

The above irrefutable evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Walker & Sons website has been set up by money laundering and phishing criminals purely for the purpose of spamvertising an illegal money laundering 'mule' job and is directly related to Cronos Investment, Draper Investment, Harvey Investment, Adamant Global, Sydney Car Centre, Waller Truck, Newman, Esmond & Eisenberg, Sun Reef Yachts and the rest of the money laundering/phishing criminal fraudsters' aliases documented here. 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 site theft, copyright offences, criminal money laundering activity and spamming - 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.

Do not be misled - these are professional criminals with a long history of fraud as detailed on the General Information page and are the same criminals as the 'rockphish' phishing fraudsters, so if a host or registrar shelters these crooks then they are also sheltering the 'rockphish' phishing fraudsters and aiding and abetting their criminal 'phishing' fraud activities.

Please notify me of any domains not listed here.


Notes for Registrars

i) The  Walker & Sons Inc criminal uses his own nameserver domains to control his zombie botnets or provide his DNS. By definition there can be no legitimate domains using his dedicated botnet nameservers & his conventional nameserver domains are always very recently registered. This provides an ideal database search option for you to identify and delete all of this criminal's fraud domains without any risk of hurting an innocent domain. The criminal's current botnet nameserver(s) are:  ns1.paradiserouse.com,  ns1.netvorkdiscover.com and ns1.americanstool.com

ii) The criminal's domains have different false whois registration data.

iii) The criminal will not respond to your challenge but will use the notice to prepare a new network - immediate suspension is requested, please.

The Zombie Botnet

See here for information on this method of site hosting favoured by these criminals.

The Zombie Botnet DNS Data (Valid for domain wolkeson.org.uk, wolkeson.me.uk, wolkeson.co.uk, waalker.org.uk, waalker.me.uk, waalker.co.uk)

These criminals are experienced liars, thieves and professional confidence tricksters. Do not be fooled - do not believe them. The evidence of criminal fraud is undeniable. I'd like to thank the many honest & ethical hosts and registrars who have disconnected/suspended these fraudsters within an hour of receiving an abuse report, (several in c. 20 minutes). However, the zombie botnet controlling nameservers seem to be occasionally hosted by Colocation/VPS service providers who do not respond to criminal fraud abuse reports. The honest & ethical SPs will respond with an immediate, (preferably not 24 hours or 48 hours & certainly not never...), disconnection on receipt of a criminal abuse report, having considered the evidence, but more and more frequently service providers stall or simply ignore abuse reports. This latter minority of uncaring & unethical hosts and registrars are aiding and abetting criminal fraud and the victims suffer because of it.

Blocking The spam

I have had quite a few queries about how to block the criminal's spam in Outlook Express. Fortunately they are easily detected using the OE 'Mail Rules' (Tools - Message Rules - Mail).

Rules based on the From, To etc addresses will never work as the header data is all forged. The message body remains constant, however & that can be used to detect them.

Use the rule "Where the message body contains specific words" and use 
"Walker and Sons Inc" as the search item then choose 'delete' (or whatever action you prefer) as the action then that will definitely detect every single one of these spams.

Fraud Blog Initial entry 14th. September 2008

***Latest News*** 15th. September 2008
New fraud domains reported by site contact - all registered with GX Networks Ltd t/a 123-Reg.co.uk/Webfusion

walkes.org.uk
walkes.me.uk
walkes.co.uk
waalker.org.uk
waalker.me.uk
waalker.co.uk

No response has been received from GX Networks Ltd t/a 123-Reg.co.uk/Webfusion to yesterday's abuse report for the original six domains and the domains are still active. The abuse ticket has been marked "SPAM Delete" and somehow I don't think that refers to the domains... No response received from abuse reports to botnet hosts. This criminal is unfortunately experienced in picking hosts and registrars that will willingly aid and abet his criminal activity.

***Latest News*** 16th. September 2008
No response received from GX Networks Ltd t/a 123-Reg.co.uk/Webfusion, but surprisingly, most of the criminal's domains have been suspended, just two of them remain, waalker.me.uk and waalker.co.uk and of those two, waalker.me.uk has a DNS setup error, so only the one active domain is known for the criminal, waalker.co.uk. If you know of any more, please notify me.
Later: The last two domains waalker.me.uk and waalker.co.uk appear to have been suspended by 123-reg.co.uk/Webfusion.
Later:
Three more domains belonging to this criminal spotted, 
all registered with GX Networks Ltd t/a 123-Reg.co.uk/Webfusion
- wallker.org.uk, wallker.me.uk, wallker.co.uk and hosted on the ns1.worldinschool.com [89.46.37.173] hosted zombie botnet.
Please notify me of any active websites/domains.

***Latest News*** 17th. September 2008
New domains notified by site contact - salker.org.uk, salker.me.uk, salker.co.uk all hosted on the above PFA-BOSTAN-TUDOR-TEODOR (Jump.ro) hosted zombie botnet. No response from 123-reg.co.uk/Webfusion to my reports yesterday regarding domains wallker.org.uk, wallker.me.uk and wallker.co.uk. Sadly, it appears that my optimism regarding their having come over from the dark side may have been misplaced. I hope not.

***Latest News*** 18th. September 2008
Information from site contacts: The nameserver domain tvnetsite.com has been suspended by Spiritdomains and the criminal has now slotted in one of his pre-registered domains transmo.net, (previously used for the 
Sunreef Yachts fraud), and has six new domains on a botnet controlled by ns1.transmo.net: walkeer.org.uk, walkeer.me.uk, walkeer.co.uk, walsoon.org.uk, walsoon.me.uk, walsoon.co.uk

Zombie Botnet DNS Data (Valid for domains walkeer.org.uk, walkeer.me.uk, walkeer.co.uk, walsoon.org.uk, walsoon.me.uk, walsoon.co.uk)

Unfortunately the suspension of the initial 12 domains by GX Networks Ltd t/a 123-Reg.co.uk/Webfusion seems to have been a one-off event, perhaps an unauthorised action by an honest, decent and ethical employee. Subsequent reports have not only been ignored but summarily deleted from their ticketing system.

***Latest News*** 19th. September 2008
Both of the criminal's botnet nameserver domains transmo.net and worldinschool.com have been suspended by Network Solutions LLC - thank goodness for an ethical registrar. No doubt there will be two more along shortly. Watch this space... Please notify me of any active websites/domains.

***Latest News*** 20th. September 2008

GX Networks Ltd t/a 123-Reg.co.uk/Webfusion appears to have suspended the domains wakson.org.uk, wakson.me.uk, wakson.co.uk, wallkerr.org.uk, wallkerr.me.uk and wallkerr.co.uk but not the domains walkker.org.uk, walkker.me.uk, walkker.co.uk, wallkker.org.uk, wallkker.me.uk and wallkker.co.uk for some reason. As they never report back, it's difficult to know why....
Update (22-Sep-2008) - 123-reg.co.uk, (Webfusion) have suspended all of the remaining active domains and responded back. Hopefully this is a good sign that the registrar is willing to take prompt action against their criminal clients which is in the interest of everyone vulnerable to these criminals and suffering their spam. Thanks are due, especially to SV of their abuse team for kindly replying.
