| ITS A SCAM |
| 23rd of Aug, 2011 by Danielletyson |
Oh MY Goodness, I stumbled across this site, and I am in complete shock.. I just started this job, and this very evening I get my new assignment and was like is this a JOKE!!!!
I felt dumb by the assignment they gave me.. as I was looking for this "mammoth tusk" from Europe I see this site.. what can be done about this... I am going to copy and paste my assignment, how do we stop this!!!
Hi Danielle,
There is something new for you. Given assignment is has no specific deadline. Its ASAP. 1-2 days.
Our client has purchased something in Europe. Unfortunately, this exclusive gift has been broken. It was a gift for their business partner so now they are looking for replacement ASAP! Our client feels nervous about this situation as they are meeting with partners soon (next month) and they need replacement ASAP.
Your task is to assist with finding and replacing this item. You will find all contact information in the Attachment (email and website address).

This means that they are coming from Russia, not the NY or any other place in the US. You can verify this by tracing the e-mails you receive from this company using the e-mail full headers here:
http://whatismyipaddress.com/trace-email
I got this from the NY corporations search:
Selected Entity Name: INFINITY LLC
Selected Entity Status Information Current Entity Name: INFINITY LLC
Initial DOS Filing Date: MARCH 09, 1995
County: NEW YORK
Jurisdiction: NEW YORK
Entity Type: DOMESTIC LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
Current Entity Status: ACTIVE
Selected Entity Address Information DOS Process (Address to which DOS will mail process if accepted on behalf of the entity)
C/O MARK GREENBERG REAL ESTATE CO. LLC
1981 MARCUS AVENUE C131
LAKE SUCCESS, NEW YORK, 11042
Registered Agent
NONE
You can also verify this by going here:

In any case the address is in NY State but not in NY city. Everything looks more and more suspicious by the minute. I smell a scam here but I will continue until I am 100% and without giving any bank, credit card info, social security or anything that will put me at risk. This can also be a refined variation of the scam where you "cash" the company's checks where you keep 10% of each check.
Good Luck on this one!!! |

Although it looks too good to be true the service makes sense. I also got the French translator assignment and the figurine assignment as well. If it is not a scam it may be that they just want to know if we can find the right information for their rich clients. However this remains to be seen.
The following looks extremely suspicious:
After doing an IP address trace this is where the e-mails are coming from:
Country Russian Federation
State/Region
City
Latitude 60
Longitude 100

| I hate to admit this, but I was a victim of this scam. It it is a scam, trust me it's a scam. I lost a fair amount of money. Same kind of nutty assisgnments. They directed deposited money to me, then after I bought the the items they wanted and paid me for it ...they reversed the direct deposit. That's how it works. I was an idiot and i have to admit to that. i was not doing anything but trying to make an extra buck. I did nothing illegal. Just and honest guy and now with a lighter wallet. Hope this helps someone. |

| Whatch out! Now they opened another brand new website: http://magichrsupport.com/ with the same scam. They are "located" in "New York", but their e-mails are coming from "California" suposedly! they probably know now how to fool around with fake IPs but haven't perfected it yet. They are actually from the Russian Federation, maybe ex-KGB's out of work. |
