which quotes a link back to a different website

which amusingly has these contact details

More curiously is the company Quadpower Limited - now dissolved but I've managed to call up copies of the now defunct website.

That was at http://www.quadpower.co.uk/

The evidence here is to confirm the bogus nature of the website rstenterprisesltd.com however, there are troubling features.

Scammers will readily steal and misuse company names and addresses, but they are much less likely to steal contact phone numbers as they are the means of perpetrating the fraud.

These are places where common phone numbers are used.

Hi everyone.

Unfortunally i can confirm this is a scam.
One of my relatives made the payment for one of the machines they sell.

Can anyone help us informing us of what can we do more?

Best regards
by TerranceBoyce Wed Feb 20, 2013 8:57 am
How was payment made ?

If payment was made by Western Union or Moneygram it's going to be very difficult to do much to get the money back.

If payment was made to a bank account that can at least be reported and closed.

Hi

The transfer was made to a bank account in the Uk, barclays.

Regards
Sonia
by TerranceBoyce Wed Feb 20, 2013 1:33 pm
Can you post the details of the bank account please.

We have quite a long list of bank accounts being used by fraudsters and it'll be interesting to know if it is one that's been used before. The name of Barclays Bank does keep occurring as a place that many of these accounts are held.

Have you reported this to your local police ? - you should do.

Often the account holder is an innocent 'dupe' but even if they are innocent my own feeling is that they must expect to have their account closed at the least. It's the only way to stop it happening again through this account, and I say this not knowing if the person is British or foreign. The same rules should apply.

Hi

My company is the real rst enterprises and my life and others has been blighted by these scammers stealing my company info! I have no idea how to stop them as they open new websites and bank accounts each week it seems.

These scammers are in Eastern Europe using hijacked Barclays accounts around London , these people are serial fraudsters and the police don't want to know. I have had countless people mainly from other European countries turning up on our Doorstep telling us they have sent countless 1000's of pounds to these people and not seen the goods. The way they work the scam is a fault of the banks especially as when you send money via an Iban number the iban doesn't have to match the company details given. So they open a bank account in the name of Ivan ivanov and then just paste false address and Skype phone numbers to the fake invoice using the Ivan Ivanov iban. Hey presto the money arrives in Ivan's account which they then withdraw out to Georgia/Russia/Ukraine and shut the account down, rotating the merry go round each week between stolen info and bank accounts each week. I know how they work it but how to stop it when the just create another anonymous website and steal another genuine companies info to perpetuate their scam?...?

You have to ask yourself if you think that someone will sell you a 15,000£ machine for 5000 then it's either stolen or a scam, buyer beware!

Terraceboyce if you wish me to clarify your investigations I will as some of your findings for websites are incorrect, what is for certain is that you shouldn't send any money to anybody unless you can go and inspect it first in person what you are buying!

I have a police fraud reference number relating to this scam although as I said before the police don't want to know as these people are not based in the uk.

Welcome to Scamwarners 'rst' and it's a point worth making that you and other company owners are also the victims of these scammers who, let's face it, are operating an organised criminal fraud. How the police and banks can kid themselves that it's not their concern is an outrage.

Though members of this forum are volunteers, many of us have skills, knowledge, abilities and contacts that go beyond what might be expected. It has been reported that banks have responded to victims that they performed the required KYC checks when opening these fraudulent accounts and believe that this is as far as they need to go. Having spent all my life in banking I can be quite certain in stating that any banks who believe this to be the case is misguided and needs to be cautious in making such statements. It is their job and responsibility to know what their customers are doing and report any suspicious transaction.

When you state

...the iban doesn't have to match the company details given.


.. I think you know this is not the case, and any bank accepting such payments is rendering money laundering legislation pointless and ineffective. I will quite happily support any victim in making a claim against a bank through the FOS who would find the bank irresponsible and possibly fine them on top of making them repay any funds lost.

There is a very disturbing pattern to how these payments are being routed and I'll gladly raise the issue through my MP if I receive enough data and information. I will say it clearly that money laundering legislation makes it an offence for a bank not to report the activities of those engaged in fraud, and it is no defence to state they didn't notice.

The police and banks will take notice if Parliament and the regulatory authorities direct them to do so and I have no fear of going over the head of anyone if I have the facts to prove that there is an issue they aren't handling effectively.

I'll go back over the details I have on this fraud together with the more up to date information I have on bank accounts being used in other similar frauds. If more victims identified the bank accounts being used this could be cleared up quite quickly and effectively. If it can be demonstrated that this is a large scale organised crime it will be dealt with by specialist police who have greater powers to investigate all those involved.

The scammers are picking UK businesses because they have a reputation for being trustworthy. Their actions are destroying that reputation and that is another lever that can be used.

Any information on how the scammers operate is useful and it's quite possible that they operate as you say 'rst' by mismatching the IBAN/account number with the name of the company they're impersonating and, as clever as that might appear, the drawback to them is that this is itself an offence and represents the essence of money laundering in hiding the identity of the real recipient of funds. No bank wants to be found to be holding an account operating that way as the potential repercussions for them are serious.

Though the money may eventually be routed abroad this scam cannot be operated without representatives in the UK and their presence will be well documented.

I have just managed to reply as every time I try to log into this site, it has been hijacked and taken to me to a honeypot site in Lithuania!

If these people are operating out of Ukraine Russia Georgia they don't care about any laws nobody will touch them and if they tried they will probably just pay off the local police, these people are not scared by laws. The only way to stop them is to stop them opening accounts here and stop the banks allowing payments with mismatched iban numbers

Anyway I have some copies of fake invoices given to me by scammed people I can email to you with the bank accounts, the accounts have apparently been shut down but who knows... If you give me an email address I can send them.

As far as I can tell it must be the same group that is perpetuating this fraud with most machinery as the style of the text, websites, photos is all the same. For me it's been going on for at least 2 years, I suspect for others it's longer.

Just to let you know, the quadpower website is a project that never happened which is why it's offline, the le tracteur rouge is a company in France (no idea why you cant find it as its registered in montauban as an sarl) but not being used at the moment, the reason why it has strange text is because the site is in French automatically translated back to English which is why the English is awful, never bothered to change it as all the customers were French and the web designers were indian and hell to deal with! You will see a common 'will beck ltd' address on there as that's a family company of ours used for postage as not too keen on broadcasting our home address all over the www as not trading with them anyway. Currently don't have any other websites so all the others you see are scams but not these, you are barking up the wrong tree

The scam websites are all thing such as all-machinery-sales.com rst-machinery-ltd.com etc, these people like hyphens.i called one of the numbers on one scam advert and its obviously a Skype number diverted to a mobile or similar and the person who answered was definitely eastern european or Russian and could barely speak English .

If we can stop all these robbing b stards from stealing my and other people's company info and people's cash then I'd be very glad
