IT Logistics, IP Logistics etc.

The latest rash of scam ads being paid with stolen credit cards are the "IT Logistics" ads. We started getting the freaked out phone calls from credit card fraud victims yesterday.

Here's a typical ad:

IT Logistics
Accountant Assistant needed for large financial company. Must be hard-working and reliable individual. High commissions paid. Check this offer! Info: http://www.itlogistics.org or itlogistics_team@yahoo.com

This particular ad is a real find, because it (mistakenly) uses the itlogistics.ORG domain, which shows the origins of the scam: Rumania.

Mostly these ads lead to itlogisitcs.BIZ -- which you should visit. It is complete scam site, but it has been organized better than many commercial site. It looks VERY real.

See the website's Vacancies tab to get a sense of the scam: Just send us all your personal information, and we'll let you know if you are hired...

There are many scammers pumping dubious enterprises based on re-shipping goods (similar to the wire-transfer scam in a previous post).

Again as far as AD2AD is concerned: we shake our heads sadly as we see the attempts to dupe the public with these dubious enterprises. Once we discover that these scams are being paid with stolen credit cards, we void them immediately.

These scammers have been working this approach for at least two years. They've had other names for their websites. Last May it was IPlogistics. Last year, ipdel.org (now resolves to a Romanian hosting service), in 2005 it was labeangroup.com. Basically the scammers ran the same ads, but in AD2AD's case, no fraud charges were reported, so we were not voiding them.
