Vexmarc Fraud

Don't Bear Internet Fraud

Vexmarc is just another fake financial site used as a vehicle to legitimise a Russian money laundering mule recruiting fraud scam spamming campaign. It's the usual stock glossy 'flash' template that these crooks tend to use, but the evidence is clear that they are fraudsters, for instance, their domain vexmarc.com was only registered on 16-sep-2009 for the usual 'criminal's domain' period of one year only with the unresponsive Turkish registrar of many of these fraudster's domains, ALANTRON BLTD and they are hosted by the Russian host, openhosting.ru on IP address 81.176.236.12, an IP which has been previously used for many other frauds, including AGS Consult Ltd., Finance, AmexFinance, NTI Consult, Milet Business, Inc., Liram Delivery Service and Mirax Cargo - this is clearly a serial fraudster. The sole purpose of the website is to lend an air of credibility to the usual money mule spamming campaign, evidence of which can be seen on many job websites, (example below). The payload of the site is a very familiar money mule 'job' of 'Customer Manager' located under the 'Careers' menu option. They have no web presence, their location and contact details are all bogus and they are not a registered business entity in their supposed locations of the UK and New York.

The same website part-time, work from home money mule job of "Customer Manager" has also appeared on numerous other fraud pages, I won't list them all, (there are just too many) - just click on these Google searches for "You will make some basic tasks from your manager daily" or "Making simple financial operations" and you will see what a huge serial criminal operation this is.

Evidence of Criminal Fraud:

i) Looking at the above Vexmarc home page I can only assume that they have stolen their website content from Russian sources and run it through Google translation. They make absolutely no claims about when they were founded or how long they have been in business, which is not surprising as their website domain, (vexmarc.com) was only registered with the unresponsive Turkish registrar of many of these fraud domains, ALANTRON BLTD. on 16-sep-2009 for one year only. A clear indication of a fake website. Why would a US/UK company use a Turkish registrar and a Russian host?

ii) A Google search for "Vexmarc" shows that these criminals have no genuine web presence, (ignoring their own fake website, of course), but there is evidence of job website spamming. (Not to be confused with a genuine company with a similar name).

iii) There is no company by the name of "Vexmarc" registered at either of their two claimed locations - they are not listed in the UK Companies House register and they are not listed in the New York business entity register - irrefutable evidence of a fake company and fraud.

iv) The true purpose of the website is to lend legitimacy to a job website and email spamming campaign attempting to recruit money laundering mules. Here is the job they publish on their own website:

Customer Manager

Job Summary:
- You will make some basic tasks from your manager daily;
- Manage personal assets;

v) The job is defined by the sentences:

and has appeared on numerous other websites for these criminal fraudster as Google searches for "You will make some basic tasks from your manager daily" or "Making simple financial operations" make clear. Irrefutable evidence of serial criminal fraud.

Do not be fooled - the first of the two tasks involves accepting 'personal assets', (money or goods), to your home address and reshipping/transferring them off to these fraudsters. The second involves accepting stolen funds to your personal bank account and transferring a balance to these crooks. Don't be fooled or you will end up losing a lot of money, having your bank account and your assets frozen and possibly ending up with a criminal record as this is the classic illegal money laundering mule and reshipping fraud functions.

Here's a typical job website spam from these crooks as seen on Njobster.com (one of many found by a simple Google search for Vexmarc):

vii) No legitimate company is going to advertise for this sort of illegal part time, work from home - "control of our customers and their payments" and "You will receive a certain percentage from every successfully completed transfer", money transferring among the untrained, inexperienced and uncertified general population overseas. It will cost you a lot of money and eventually the police will come knocking at your door. Do not be tempted.

viii) the Fake contact details from the website: (Remember that these criminals are not registered in either the UK's Companies House register or the New York business entity register, (check for yourself), so their location details are not going to be genuine).

ix) They are not a business listed in the UK telephone directory - check for yourself - clear evidence of a fake company.

The above evidence clearly demonstrates beyond any doubt that the Vexmarc website has been set up very recently by money laundering criminals purely for the purpose of spamvertising an 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 criminal 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.
