The name has changed from Johanson to Jenson and the e-mail address is now at gefestinc.com. But the spelling of directly is still wrong.
2. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.
3. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.

Thanks for the warning. I got the mail but couldn't find the company on the web so it was looking uncertain. Luckily I came across this blog.
I was the same, so I thought I would search for it and correct it is not there so I'm pleased I found this. A lot of people do get sucked in and loose lots of money and I can never understand why they do it!! I do get loads of these e-mails daily and would like to know how to stop it!!...Regards KB
Just had this e-mail! Glad I searched it! Cheers!
I done the same as the rest. Thanks!
Blimey..found this blog just in time..very convincing email as I'm looking for pastures new was nearly sucked in...thanks
Hi,
Thought this was too good to be true, but I could do with £3k per month :)
Other inaccuracies in the mail:
The way they've written the address, is not the Swedish way of writing an address, it is normally Roadname (Number), not the Engligh (number) Roadname. And they've given the Englidh "Street" not the Swedish "-vägen," or "-gatan"
The Area code is non existent, not even in any way a Swedish area code.
Stockholm telephone area code is (0)8, not (0)1.
Just to add my 2c.
(Reference: my Swedish wife)
Glad I searched google for gefestinc.com and came up with this blog as #1 entry - excellent.
I then did a check on WHOIS through www.networksolutions.com and found the following information:

Does she need to know about her "client"? That's all folks. I leave it up to you. Keep blogging!
John (in UK)
Yeah picked this up today as well. Mine came from Mike Jenson (nfxindefinitely@beshoffmotorcars.com)
but talked about a different company (gefast inc) on the bottom
Well! White pages gives an address for a Deborah A Noble at the 310 Riverside Drive apt 310 address.
Either she is the spammer or someone has stolen and is using her identity. I will send an email to the New York police to advise them that there is a problem.

Thanks for this blog - just like taking references, too few people do their homework. I'm grateful that you popped up so speedily on Google.
Cheers

I have just had this email and thought I'd better check it out and guess what another fraudster.
Thanks friends
Thanks for this detail. I recieved the email and was interested. Fortunately I always check things out when they come via email. Its about time these fraudsters were tracked down and prosecuted.

Hi, I echo everything that everyone has said so far, I had the same Spam myself and did a search to get here,
not everyone that gets help or reads this blog will leave a comment, so, why don't we just return fire, in mass, whether you leave a message here or not,
You can send text's to a land line, which is read out slowly at the other end by a robot like voice usually, most annoying if you get a lot of them,
John C, on this page, was good enough to search out the "who is" web details of the registrant,
Obviously I can't advise anyone to do this at all, if you did send a text like;
Dear Deborah Noble at 310 Riverside Drive, Manhattan, New York, do you realise that you may be linked to a web site address / domain and also Spam e-mail's that more than likely are fraudulent
to 01 212 8641590
it would be up to you,
or an e-mail to
deborahnoble@email.com
and then put a block on this address in your e-mail filter
..... but ......
what goes around comes around .....
awesome blogging, and glad it came up top of the list on google. Felt it looked dodgy and as usual it is!
Thanks again
thanx guys and girls great job another scammer to add to the thousands but got this because i take little notice if them
colin uk
Read this blog with interest, but could someone explain how the scam/fraud works.
Just like the rest, searched Google for gefestinc.com and came to you.
Really well done - you're doing a real service. Thanks
Like everyone else researched via google and come to you. Thanks for all the help you offer - keep up the good work.
Like everyone else, i received an email from this 'company' and so i thought i'd do a quick search to see what i can find out and came to your site. Thank you for the insight.
