| Has anyone contacted the number he has posted, because I just received my first assignment last night and they are asking me to find a French translator for a client coming to my city. But when I called around I went to Innerlingua Translation Service and the guy called my back. But something odd struck me as a SCAM in the making. He said you are like the fifth person that has called from Infinity looking for a French translator, all from different states. Now I'm gonna call the number and do a little investigation of my own. Stay posted for my results in a few hours. |
|
|
|
| Ok I just called the number they have listed and it goes to a recording every time with some rag head on the recording. I SMELL SCAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM WITH A CAPITAL S |
|
|
|
| I got the very same assignment. I thought it was a scam when one person replied back to stop harrassing them and another said they got the same question a week or so ago from another person. Then I started doing my research. It seemed too good to be true. Just very odd. |

Hi all, , I had the same assignment, , the next assignment is contacting a Russian gentleman who owns an art place that has sculptures.
The phone number listed to call is a cell phone and the fax number is a land line, 2 different locations.
Going to yellow pages to see f that business exists with an office building. |
|
|
|
the address listed as the site of business belongs to a lady, , its a residence.
And no Infinity LLC listed in the phone book
Ok Im done with this scam lol |
|
|
|
I checked out the address and its an office building. Have they asked anyone for their credit card information? I was reading their website and during the trial period, the employee is responsible for the customer's expenses on their own credit card. Here's the quote:
"Every spending during your approbation period (list of items, travelling expenses, shipping, additional expenses, total cost etc) must be confirmed with our customer first. Once confirmed, the required amount is transferred to your credit card or bank account so you can take care of everything."
hmmmm... |
|
|
|
would you like to just hand me your credit card number? Because by giving them your account info, , they can pull money from your account. The address is to an Business Building and no Infinity OR a Jordan Mastagni is listed at that building.
I called the lady's name on the 340 and its a recording for another business, I am sorry for thinking it was an apt. building.
I contacted The building office. Here is the name and phone.
RXR Realities
212-489-5736
*If anyone wants to call and verify this. Please do. I talked to the office building manager and the security office.
I for one will not give this person my personal nformaton.
The person with this scam is very good at covering his tracks and making everything look legit.
(The next part of what he sent yesterday, wanted me to get a copy of the buyer info and the credit card receipt from the Russian gentleman . The client should have that information.)
Good Luck all. |

| I just started too and have done the translation and mammoth figurine so far. I got a phone call from "Jordan Mastagni" from this #347-284-6660 saying that he will not be available by phone # given on 8/27/11 and that I would have to contact him by email if I have any questions about the current assignment. I contacted a PNC bank that was at the 340 Madison Ave address and the gentlemen said he hasn't heard of that company from their building. He also said it was a big corporate building though. Has anyone got paid from them yet? Is everyone from a different state? Has anyone given their bank account information? Let me know what happens because I don't want to continue this if it is just a scam. I need a real job. |

dont continue, , , as I said the number and the name of the building managers is in my last post. There is NOT a company or a man by that name in that building.
The number he called you from is a cell phone. He never answers it.
I received the same info in an email.

| I too have been trying for DAYS to get a reply from him as to how to contact him directly. I have ask for his extension because the recording states that you need to enter an extension. Can never contact a real person. Hum!! Very Fishy I would say!! |
|
|
|
| I also got a e mail inviting me for this job several weeks ago...! I did the same french tanslation task and the russian figurine task. then today got e mail from Jordan Mastagni indicating he wanted my direct deposit info so the client could send me the $$ to pay for the figurinee and shipping form Russia. My daughter applied for the job and had the exact same tasks so we got suspicious. He would send me an e mail indicating he tried to call me on my cell but there were never any missed calls...I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the Internet crime complaint center. I suggest EVERYONEW does the same. someone out there I am sure is/are giving him their direct deposit info and they are tkaing their money...Then I got an e mail from the same guy (Jordan) saying my trial period os terminaed do not contact him again!!! |
|

|
| SCAM!!! SCAM!!!. REPORT THIS TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND TO THE INTERNET CRIME COMPLAINT CENTER (www.ic3.gov/complaint). DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFO, SSN OR DIRECT DEPOSIT INFO WHICH THEY DO EVENTUALLY ask for once they have you hooked!!! |
|
|
|
| I also got an email, I did the same French translator task and the Russian Figurine task.Then got email that his client can't pay thrugh Western Union and aske for my direct deposit info.I didn't give it to him.Then I asked myself to see if there is scam report on this guy and see all these reports.This is difinetly SCAM. |

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
Area Code
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
After I did a search since I also got involved with this company and 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:
http://www.dos.state.ny.us/corps/bus_entity_search.html
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!!! |

| THIS JORDAN GUY ACTUALLY CALLED ME!!! I TOLD HIM HIS WORK WAS A TOTAL SCAM AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO ROT IN JAIL. HE SAID THANKS ALOT AND F&^* YOU. CRAZY SCARY!!! |

| I did both assignments and I have no money in my account so I did give him my bank account info. He kept calling me this morning asking if I received payment for the figurine and to call him when I did. I asked him why do I need to contact him if I'm just supposed to go to Western Union and wire the buyer the money. I told him I was going to wait a couple days after the deposit was made for it to clear. He never gives direct answers. He sounds French but I heard him talking his middleeastern language in the background so whatever. I knew it was a scam from the beginning but with all the paperwork he had me fill out I thought it just might be legit and I had nothing to lose. I literally have nothing in the account I gave him and it is fully protected. So then I found this thread. I just got off the phone with my bank and put a block on my account and opened up a new one with a new account number. I'm pretty sure I am safe now. Indian people must have a sad life to conduct these scams all the time. I really don't know what their intention is. Either they are just draining accounts or somehow depositing fraud deposits in hope that you'll cash and wire it to them before it clears. I have no idea, but this needs to stop! |
