Theplanet has become very proactive about killing fakes since it merged with EV1. Nice work, SP! |

If he's not hosting his DNS entries can the DNS provider be notified, then he's stuffed.
edit: Looks like it's these people http://www.2mhost.com/ |

Scam Patroller could also send a copy of the report to Joker.com, the Registrar, which could zap the domain completely.
I don't know how cooperative they are, though. |

I have just sent an email to joker.com:
Quote: |
Hi,
Can I bring your attention to a scammers fake check/mule scam website, here is the domain:
http://www.efias.com
You are the registrar of the scammers domain:
Domain Name: EFIAS.COM
Registrar: COMPUTER SERVICES LANGENBACH GMBH DBA JOKER.COM
Whois Server: whois.joker.com
Referral URL: http://www.joker.com
Name Server: DNS17.2MHOST.COM
Name Server: DNS18.2MHOST.COM
Two days ago, the scammers http://www.efias.com website was being hosted by http://www.gnax.net and Gnax closed their hosting and site down for fraud, yesterday, the scammers rehosted their site on http://www.theplanet.com and ThePlanet.com killed their site just this morning for being used for fraud, they have now rehosted again with http://www.softlayer.com today, this is the topic on Gnax's support forum after they closed it down:
http://www.tranxactglobal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7560
We have it in the fake bank database on aa419.org , see here where it lists Gnax.net as the hosts and an update when it was rehosted on ThePlanet.com before being rehosted again by softlayer.com today:
http://db.aa419.org/fakebanksview.php?key=11662
This scammers site needs to be closed down fast before more victims lose money, please also be aware that this scammer more often than not uses stolen credit cards to pay for his webhosting and domain name purchases, so you might be looking at a credit card chargeback!
It's a fake site being used in fake employment/mule scams, whereby they offer people jobs processing checks, the jobs involve cashing cheques (checks) for their clients (except there are no clients, the scammer sends them fake checks) , the victim, who thinks they have a legitimate job, cashes the checks, keeps 5% as their commission and sends 95% back to the scammers, some time later, they are informed by their banks that the checks were counterfeit, the victim then faces having their bank account frozen, facing possible arrest and imprisonment for passing fake checks and money laundering, they also have to repay the bank the full amount of the check they deposited, scammers send check for between $5000 - $10,000 in this type of scam, so the victim is left paying back the bank for a long time!
This is the scammers "job description" page on their website explaining the fake job to people:
http://www.efias.com/index.php?page=54
The job description:
Vacancies available now:
Transaction Manager;
You are supposed to transfer money from our partners in your country to our international representatives.
Your objective will be collection of money (via wire transfer, as a rule) and further transfer to international representatives of our company in different companies (via Western Union money transfer, as a rule). To get money you can use your bank account in any bank of your country. If you do not have any, you will have to open one before you start working (you may open several accounts). If you already have your bank account, you can use it to receive money.
To transfer money to international representatives of our company via Western Union money transfer it is enough for you to visit the nearest Western Union centre. To find the address and telephone of the nearest centre, please, visit www.westernunion.com and click "Find Agent Location".
Your salary will depend on the sum of the transactions you will operate. Your profit will make 5% from each transaction you will operate. The sum of one transaction generally does n ot exceed 5, 000.00, so we can easily calculate, that being engaged only 2-3 times a week you will get minimum 2,000.00-2,500.00 per month.
You can read this banking scam webpage where it is explained in full detail how this particular scam works:
http://www.banksafeonline.org.uk/moneymule_explained.html
I am sending a copy of this email to the Police at Interpol http://www.interpol.int on [email protected] for their investigative purposes, as we do with all abuse notifications.
Should any victim wish to sue you for damages to recover lost money because you were knowingly hosting a fraudulent site "after" being notified about them at this time, Interpol can provide evidence that you were aware of their fraudulent nature as of the date of this abuse notification.
The domain is also being reported to Internic/ICANN via their site here:
http://wdprs.internic.net
Please close this scammers domain down before many victims lose money, this particular type of scam is very successful, so they need to be closed down quickly!
Cheers,
Scam Patroller. |

Blimey, that was reshosted quick...the scammers must perceive this little bugger as important.
Top work SP, although I have a funny feeling the registrar will give it "nowt to do with us mate"... |

^^^^^ Worth a crack though, might catch them on a good day.
I just went went to report them through:
http://wdprs.internic.net
But someone has beaten me to it, after submitting it says:
Quote: |
Thank you for helping make Whois data more accurate. A Whois Data Problem Report related to www.efias.com was recently submitted, so no further action is required. |
Did anyone here do the report?
www.efias.com seems to be having site problems at the moment aynway, the site says:
Quote: |
Fatal error: Unable to connect to database in /home/efiasne/public_html/efias/_admin/_kernel/class/database/database_connect.php on line 31 |

^^^^^ Cheers, thought so, I have reposted it on Gnax's forum asking to kill it again, I pinged the domain which also confirmed it:
Quote: |
Pinging www.efias.com [207.210.95.194]:
Ping #1: Got reply from 207.210.95.194 in 18ms [TTL=56]
Ping #2: Got reply from 207.210.95.194 in 18ms [TTL=56]
Ping #3: Got reply from 207.210.95.194 in 17ms [TTL=56]
Ping #4: Got reply from 207.210.95.194 in 17ms [TTL=56] |
207.210.95.194 = gnax.net
I guess softlayer.com must have killed them then |

Nothing like a good game of whack-a-mole with a fake site. The scammers must be going crazy trying to keep ahead of you, SP |

thejoker.com do not subscribe to icann so I'm out of luck with that. The phone number I suspect is bogus, called it and a woman answered, knew nothing about efias.com. |
