The name Deepak Agarwal seems to crop up a lot – here it is again: http://www.bizclaims.com/2010/11/getslimpackage-c…

Rather sceptical of those "officer told me" claims though – highly unlikely that would they discuss an ongoing investigation, particularly naming names of suspects!

This website throws up a phishing warning in Firefox as the security certificate is forged or not matching its source. lafincs.com (or lelhelp.net on the webpage) then go on to say:

Chargebacks & Cancels

If you have made it to this website, then you should have no reason to chargeback a transaction. We are here to assist you, whether you have decided you are unhappy with the product or have concerns over charges.

I think I've heard the phrase "Our award-winning customer service call center" enough times to want to vomit.

We see rubbish platitudes and self-congratulatory phrases like this all the time, even the mysteriously and currently silent dark lord said similar things.

Because of your contribution, I suggest we make this a new post, authored by yourself. Is this okay with you and I'll set permissions accordingly?

And that DSL thread has a killer of a posting from MCD which lists shed-loads of connectivity streaming from Co Durham…

This is where LAFINCS.COM, a.k.a. LAFIN ENTERPRISES LTD hole up – it's an old prefab council house in our famous town of desperados and crisp products, Consett.

Also at the same address is LB TJ WEB PRODUCTIONS LIMITED… see:

Catchy Cash at 85 Durham Road are just round the corner! Weirdly, the address does not really exist! Check the map:

You'll see Outlook Optical who are at 87 and Wok 'n' Go who are at number 81 (according to yellow pages).

This means the small house next to the Chinese takeaway is 83, which leaves the first part of Outlook Optical as 85 and the upper as 87 as it's obviously two properties knocked together.

Whatever the optical place is (as a business with the same name is in Whitley Road across the Tyne), the property looks unused as a business from this streetview view, although they do have satellite!!.

Also found this very interesting 4 page thread which has investigated these companies and the links between them in some depth.
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r24610419-Credit-…

On page 4 is a post from 6th January 2011 which says:

"Even though the scam started in July 2010, it is still going strong with a flurry of recent fraudulent charges. Same routine, same shell site, same bank runaround yet it goes on.

Here's just one discussion with recent complaints:

http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/888389010…

I filed a complaint at the fbi.gov site, I know others did too, yet nothing has happened. I wrote John Leyden with the Register about how prevalent this is and hope he chimes in since it involves organized crime using UK addresses."
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r24610419-Credit-…

The recent complaints refer to unauthorised charges from Lafincs Consett (County Durham) – so it seems the County Durham UK Ltd companies are up and running again under new names? eg:

Catchy Cash Ltd. 85 Durham Road Blackhill Consett County Durham DH8 8RR Companies House Registration Number: 7006949

illegally acquired funds from consumers by making unauthorized charges and debits to their bank accounts

This was the case for Daniel Greenberg, the former CEO of ClassicCloseouts.com, yesterday.

The investigation is all here:

Whether my spam sources come via botnets or ISPs that don't mind being abused in such ways or from email businesses devoted to the task of spamming is irrelevant to me.

It's still crap.

It's still spam.

It's probably dangerous to your PC or your pocket and thus anyone who deals in it is most likely crooked.

Notionally, it's from a person with these details:
farrell carlson
email hidden; JavaScript is required
78.191.202.57

The backlink is to 'wealthsystem.eu which when I looked had no WHOIS at all as the server was down… However, the IP address is in Turkey and is exactly the same telecom as the one that hosted a site that hacked my website not long after I started it. (i.e. before I got it hardened with permissions and .htaccess etc)

Be that as it may, this site didn't crack my website and the link end up at just a review type promo for smiling Scott Davenport's "My Home Wealth System" which is comprised of a wodge of CDs and other baloney such as money statements, a limited time countdown timer, etc..

Anyway, I hope this helps someone, by pointing out that much of what I get through this website and email, is spam – and I get an awful lot of it!!!. No matter how it arrives though, you should by now KNOW that it's always untrustworthy….

Because in the old days, a cold call from a broom salesman was a pain, but at least you had a broom at the end of it. These days, you end up with nothing but trouble.

For those that don't know, this is crap that arrives at a WordPress powered website, this website, for instance, and is a way of putting automated backlinks to website owners. Invariably, this is to boost the website's SEO ranking because when I've checked them out, they're always pants.

Today I got a pair of real pants spams here. They were almost intelligent comments which proves that the A.I. is getting better. However, their spam nature is revealed by the inappropriateness of the subject to the return web address, plus, both had the SAME IP address of:

173.10.21.161

This is a ComCast address with an interesting entry of:

NetName: CBC-UTAH-12

Well I never!

The web addressees were to:

'http://www.wisdomteethutah.net/ after commenting on my fine post of http://strangelyperfect.tv/356/hey-techno-techno-… by saying:

That's a shame the RAID doesn't work. Its a good thing I found this because I was considering getting that myself.

…and to:

'http://www.alwaysaffordablehomes.com/ where they said, after commenting on some further words from myself entitled, http://strangelyperfect.tv/307/china-plastic-bags… ,

It's too bad that people can't be more responsible with the environment. We should be more considerate. Look at europe – they recycle so much more than us…

The wisdom teeth lot are here:

Utah Valley Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

480 West 800 North

Orem, Utah 84057

…and the affordable homes are here:

494 West 1300 North

Springville,UT,84663

"Hang on!", I thought. "That first address looks familiar!"

So pop it into google with an extra keyword of SCAM like so,
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=480+West+800+Nor…

…and you find, top of the list, a website devoted to colon cleanse reviewing, I kid ye not!

Deb (for it is she) at 'http://www.debscoloncleansereviews.com/tag/purity-12/ pulls out the unsurprising information that "Purity 12" is a scam – and it's located at exactly the same address as the wisdom teeth folks!

Doing the same for Salisbury Homes pulls out one RipOff Report back in 2005, so hey, not so clear cut, eh?

Q. What's it all mean?

A. I dunno, but I may pop in if I ever go to Utah and find out. In all likelihood, it's yet another mail drop account.

That link of yours, http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/new-nam… , about Jesse Willms, had a comment just 50 mins ago about this website.

Yes, it's another fake news site.

However, the links are for "Speedy Buys", which must be US as my UK IP gets redirected to,

It's like the return of the king…

"Twenty-seven companies involved in the mis-selling of health supplements have been wound up in the High Court following an investigation by Company Investigations of the Insolvency Service.

The investigation found that all of the companies (see list below) had their registered offices in the County Durham area but traded internationally, mainly from locations in Barcelona and Malta by placing "Free Trial Offers" for health supplements on numerous websites."

Commenting on the case, Stephen Speed, Chief Executive of The Insolvency Service said;

"The Insolvency Service is determined to come down hard on companies who seek to rip off the public by mis-selling products. I urge all consumers to be vigilant when it comes to ‘free trial offers’, and remember if it looks to good to be true, it often is."

Analysis of the available records for just seven of the companies found that they had turnover in excess of $19 million in the period August 2009 to March 2010 which was processed through merchant accounts based in Germany.

The products offered by the companies included Acai Berry Detox, Acai Power, Effective Acai, Acai Detox, Absolute Acai, Colon Cleanse Fresh, Colon Purify, Life Cleanse, Resveratrol, Resvmax, Miraculous Teeth Whitening, PureClean Teeth, Dermasensation and Dermainfuse.

"Winding up petitions were presented on 21 June 2010 against:-

LB Belvedere Limited, LB Cygnus Media Limited, LB Deluxepass Limited, LB Eridanus Entertainment Limited, LB Evil Angel Limited, LB Friendfinder Limited, LB Global Web Solutions Limited, LB Internet Media Productions Limited, LB Ilogic Solutions Limited

Winding up petitions were presented on 22 June 2010 against:-

LB LFP Internet Limited, LB Lyra Entertainment Limited, LB Nomad Media Limited, LB Pegasus Media Limited, LB Price Communications Limited, LB RSC Limited, LB Southint Prop Limited, LB Watt Media Limited

Winding up petitions against the following companies were presented on 23 June 2010 and on 25 June 2010 the Official Receiver was appointed as Provisional Liquidator of the companies:-

LB Carsed Marketing Limited, LB Nakedsword Limited, LB Cassiopeia Media Limited, LB Cybernet Entertainment Limited, LB RHS Limited, LB Pride Studios Limited, Intercontinental Consignment Logistics Limited and Gillmap Limited

Petitions to wind up Fyso-UK Limited and H5-UK Limited were presented on 13 July 2010."

I see Gillmap Limited is on the Insolvency Service list (dazzlewhite / dazzlesmile) – so Jesse Willms is also connected to this pile of poop!

Here's a person complaining that they'd been double charged with no 'free sample' to test it out:
