REPLY DIRECTY TO: job@kiroxsolutions.com

I've just looked up the owner of the domain name kiroxsolutions.com.

Channon Jay Cruz (superbook@mail.com)
123-310 Dapple Ct
Wilmington
North Carolina,28403
US
Tel. +001.2544587549

The phone number and the address both exists and perhaps before investing with Kirox, you ought to give Channon a ring.

I suspect that he may well be an innocent party in this, but would you deal with a company supposedly in Sweden, who register their web site with an individual in the US. No! You wouldn't.

Important Notes :-

1. 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.

2. 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.

I received the Kirox email today and my first thought was to check it out as it all seems to good to be true - the first thing I found was this page, so many thanks for the time and effort to put it up.

The phone number may be real, but the postcode isn't,there is no such postcode as FI-00837 Stockholm, Sweden. The only reference I can find to this postcode number is an address in New Mexico. Also, the address 15 mauvas str B 33 looks suspicious, the "str" is a German abbreviation for Strasse (street) but I have not seen this used in Sweden. A multimap style street map is available for Sweden for anyone who wants to check it out:

Thanks for that, anon.

I was referring to the address of the web registration. It looks like some American kid is trying to scam some money. Shall we call the Feds?

It would be rather good to get a scammer in the slammer.

Thanks for this very useful web page. I went to Google to check out the name Kirox Solutions Inc. My company received their e-mail this morning. The website they use for their e-mail doesn't show up.

What a great website!

I just googled our "Swedish friend" and your link showed.

I suspected it was a scam but as I work as a VA I often receive enquiries from abroad, which I usually dispense to the bin.

Thanks again - I will pass your link onto my contacts list.

It seems likely that it is a false e-mail, but until it attempts to make a profit out of falsehood it is not technically speaking a "fraud". Has anyone followed up the e-mail?

Have had a number of emails of this type since putting my cv into a well-respected online job-search database. Moral is therefore perhaps only to provide this kind of database with an email address which you don't mind cleaning the spam out of!

My Outlook Express 'properties' option for this email shows the sending IP is 217.70.103.169.snt.ru

It is a Russian scam, probably aimed at getting valid IP's for computers to attempt to build a denial of service attack to extort money from firms they make threats to.

e mail sent was too good to be true and googled the company.Intresting thing is I'm not even looking for a job! but I guess as a matter of fact you have to question any anonymous person making any promise on the email. Looks like the nigerian Bank fraud is out and this job scam is in !
cheers guys for sharing your experiences!

It is good to see that many people have taken time to check this out but we have a sport in our office (rightly or wrongly) called dodgy email baiting whereby like Stuart Cameron (see above) we reply to all emails and see how far we can string these cretins along. We are seriously thinking about setting up a website whereby we can show how far we get and even what can be done about it. Some of the responses have been pure genius especially when they say they are from the Bank of Edinburgh in Glasgow and they have a hotmail address, just genius indeed!!

Dear,
Let me familiarize you with the position we offer.
Our business is based upon operations with electronic currencies.
It's a pity there were a lot of problems with the purchase of virtual currencies in Poland,however exchange rates in Poland are more advantageous. But we can see the opposite situation in the USA: you can easily buy and sell any of virtual money in large sums.
In the territory of the USA any operations with internet currencies may be conducted ONLY BY US RESIDENTS. Thus, we need employees who might conduct such operations.
What are usually the parts of an Employee's duties?
For example, a customer wants to buy e-gold. We provide you a list of official partners of the system for the purchase of the e-gold over the Internet or in an office of your city.
We do not offer this vacancy as a full-time employment, the working schedule is flexible, the best way is to choose the most comfortable hours during a day to perform your duties. All operations are carried out over the internet, sometimes you will recieve calls from us.
During first 6 months you'll be working 4-5 hours a day. All actions are coordinated by our managers, so you shouldn't be looking for clients, and you won't be contacting with clients yourself before you become a manager.
You don't need to analise the market, because our managers will be advising you what to do.
The relocation isn't required too, only in cases when you decide to do some advanced training.
Of course you don't have to pay for anything and there are absolutely no investments made from you.
We provide the best working conditions for our employees. The company provides Apple iPhones or Blackberries and MacBook Pro laptops (upon employee s choice) for easy communication with our managers and for exchange operations. Our employees get medical insurance and $120,000 annual salary. For those who have MBA degree it is $240,000.
We pay in each of the following money transfer systems - E-Gold, Western Union, MoneyGram, Credit Card etc.
Please do not confuse us with companies which operate with fake checks. That is a fraud. We NEVER operate with any checks.
We are seeking for partners who are seriously concerned with our business offer,so if you are ready to sign an agreement,you we'll start work in about 1 ot 2 days after signing it.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask them via email n.jones.pm.inc@gmail.com or try this number (512) 394-8945 (9 AM - 7 PM EST, Monday - Friday)
We are looking forward to hearing from you, Julia Summers.

In the past about 3 years ago I fell for one of these and gave them my Bank details, withing 2 says I had £6,000 put in my account and a phone call from them to say take 10% commission and all the expenses and send the balance in cash to a man in Germany via Western Union, I withdrew the cash and was about to transfer the money by western union when I had a phone call from my Bank saying that the money was illegally taken from someone elses account and put into mine and that I should go to the Bank right away otherwise the Police would be involved, I did this right away and was lucky to survive it. It all looks to easy and good to be true and I was mad to go ahead with it, hindsite is a good thing. Has anyone else followed it though?

Here is another e-mail just received this afternoon:-

I checked the message source, and this what turned up:

From: "Mike Jenson" whose email is shown as - zcusubordinate@bluehavenofsacramento.com

Also, I get lots of this type of cr*p as I run a website with a "catchall" email address for contact. This one was addressed to advertising@... (mydomainname.c**). "Advertising" isn't one of the names I use on the site. I expect a bot sent this.

Someone here suggested a website about stringing these villains along. I've seen one, it was hilarious. They had the plonkers going into Western Union Offices asking to collect transfers to Ima Scammer, and other such dumb names.

Another funny one was about them saying they could supply certain goods. They were asked about obtaining a submarine, and strung along with stupid questions about fictitious features, totally made up stuff, like does it has quadrific bandanerspiddles? (I made that up, but you get my point), and the string-alongers were getting positive replies, all for the entertainment of viewers of the site.

I think it's a great idea. While they're wasting their time being strung, they have less time to target the more vulnerable net uses.

First time I've seen this page. Nice. Good work.

My partner just got same email today from manoksolutions. Interesting they say there in SWEDEN, the domain is registered in ISREAL and registered to some guy in CALIFORNIA. Not only is this a pure scam it is also MONEY LAUNDERING, and they just want a MULE to pass on dirty money. What ever you do DO NOT fall for it, your bank WILL spot it and YOU could find yourself on the wrong side of the law, and your account closed.
Excelent blog though, thought this email was a con, as work in the finance sector monitoring accounts for such activity.

Blogs like this help to get the message across, if only every one bothered to google first!

Manok Solutions now offer uk@manoksolutions.com. Allegedly came from xxynett@cplqld.org.au
Next email in spam folder sent from captjerry08@live.com (same as shown in OE email properties, reads
Dear Friend,

Good day and compliments, I know this letter will definitely come to you as a huge
surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision
you make will go off a long way to determine my future and continued existence. Please
allow me to introduce myself. I am Capt. Jerry Adams, a US Marine Capt. serving in the
3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment which Patrols the Anbar province, Iraq.

I am desperately in need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you. I
am presently in Iraq and I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am
seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $12,570,000 (Twelve million Five Hundred
and Seventy Thousand US dollars) to the States or any safe country of your choice, as
far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service
here. This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved.

SOURCE OF MONEY:
Some money in various currencies was discovered and concealed in barrels with piles of
weapons and ammunition at a location near one of Saddam Hussein's old Presidential
Palaces during a rescue operation and it was agreed by all party present that the money
be shared amongst us. This might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what?
No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell
hole. The above figure was given to me as my share and to conceal this kind of money
became a problem for me, so with the help of a German contact working with the UN here
(his office enjoys some immunity) I was able to get the package out to a safe location
entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package as he
believes that it belongs to an American who died in an air raid, and before giving up
trusted me to hand over the package to his close relative.

I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Iraq for you to pick up. I
do not know for how long I will remain here as I have been lucky to have survived 2
suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention. This and other reasons put into
consideration have prompted me to reach out for help. If it might be of interest to you
then Endeavour to contact me and we would work out the necessary formalities but I pray
that you are discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship.

Please Contact me via my private box: captjerry08@live.com so that I can furnish you
with more details.

Respectfully,
Capt. Jerry Adams,
United States Marine Corps. IRAQ.

Both emails now deleted

I'm sorry to sound a bit harsh, but you have to be a idiot to even consider replying to anything like this. In this day and age, I'm surprised about how many people thought this sounded "genuine"!?

Report it to the police and have nothing to do with them. You'll end up a lot poorer and in some countries you'll spend a few years in jail fior money laundering.
