Subject: be ready to start working next week

Hello,

Thank you for contacting me back. Please be ready to start working next week.

Remember that you have to check your email/TM account in the morning around 9 am and then from 2 till 4 pm every business day (Monday-Friday, your local time).

I will place your name in a que right away, however older employees have priority over the
number of tasks that they receive. In addition we monitor to see how often you log into your
TM account, whether you log in on time or always running late. This is the biggest determining
factor as to how fast you will receive your first task!

In addition, keep in mind that upon receiving a Task, your deadline to completing a Task is
1:00 pm your local time!

When you are assigned your first Task, please understand that your performance will directly
reflect the number of tasks that you will keep receiving. Once a task is assigned I will
e-mail you with all the necessary details. You will receive notification in your own email
and your TM email. In the beginning it might take a while for you to receive your first task,
so be patient.

Current position is not complicated but is highly paid because of the high level of
responsibility. Therefore you are required to perform all your duties in the MOST reliable
and diligent manner. Our company, in its turn, promises to create all required work conditions
in order to assist your work.

Here is an example of working process:
- You receive $5000 to your bank account
- You withdraw the full amount received
- You deduct your commission (8%=$400) and transfer the rest of funds via Western Union/MoneyGram. WU/MG fees are paid from your commission. The average fee is 3%, if higher we'll add the difference to your base salary.

You would have to withdraw the funds in cash and process them further according to the
instructions that I will provide along with the task. You would use the 8% commission to
pay for the transfer of funds and the remaining percentage would be yours to keep.

Your base salary ($2300) and all your bonuses including the sign on bonus will be deposited into your account on the 30th day of employment with us. Your commission is paid with every transfer that you complete on the spot.

Sincerely,

Sonya McGiveron
Seeknet LLC
Personnel Supervisor

Soooo...after "working" with them for about a week, I did absolutly nothing, I knew it was a scam and felt so stupid that I fell for it. SO I quit. Well, of course I had to give them my paypal account for the money from "clients" to be transfered into and about an hour after I quit I recieved a 5,500 payment in my paypal account from a Mark Dickson in Texas that bought a gold and silver coin set from ebay, that I did not sell. I call paypal right away they told me to refund the money and change my password. less then an hour later I recieved an email that my password was changed again! This company or person hacked into my paypal account and changed my password, I ended up having to close the account and the bank account associated with it, thank God there was no money in it! I also subscribed to a membership with lifelock so they can make sure no one opens up any new credit cards in my name or any other type of identity fraud. The name of the company is Seeknet LLC or Seeknet USA the website looks legit, but don't fall for it, it's a scam!

One phone number is in California, the other is in New York. The registrant is in Gipuzkoa. This is the latest scam from the Mull-Bimbom gang, which operates rogue nameservers in the Soviet Union.

This domain is in the process of being reported for fraud. Sites previously run by the gang, which you can read about elsewhere on Scamwarners, are art-agentlimited.com, outsourceduk.net, techamlimited.com, and several others.

Hello,

I work for Seeknet USA and I just wanted to make it known that we are not involved with any such activity. Seeknet LLC is the company that is allegedly trying to defraud individuals. Their website shows OUR physical address to mislead and to appear legitimate. We are in contact with the FBI about the matter.

Seeknet USA is a legitimate company and is not in any way affiliated to Seeknet LLC.

Thanks for posting! The real one is seeknetusa.com, with a 12-year registration and a registrant in Torrance. The fake one is it-seeknet.net, with a 1-year registration and a registrant in Gipuzkoa (fake address, probably, as the gang's sites have registrant addresses all over the place). It has been reported, but is still up.

I happen to be another one who applied and was accepted to this company. Then I found the posts that questioned the legitimacy of Seeknet LLC.

I am not in the habit of trusting everything I read, so I decided to confront (politely) Seeknet LLC and request a copy of their Business License and Tax ID Number. It's difficult to be a sub-contractor for a company and not have that information. The IRS doesn't like that. Less than two hours after my questions I was unable to access my account on Seeknet LLC. Sounds to me like I have my answer regarding Seeknet LLC's legitimacy.

I did send emails to Nicole Brown (who speaks with an East Indian accent) and Sonya (I never spoke to her) and I'm waiting for a response. If I don't receive on I would think that I have my answer.

If there is an interest in what I tracked and how I will share it. If not I would only suggest that everyone be alert and protect yourself and your family.

The hoster disconnected the server. While the scammers were trying to bring it back up somewhere else, you tried to access it. It came back up at a new IP address between 18:50 and 20:50 UTC.

Your information may be helpful in defeating this gang. If you don't feel comfortable posting it in this thread, you can send it by PM.

i got the same bunch of emails from a different company. the address is haup-geit-support-co.net or haup-geit-support-co.com
by vonpaso xlura Thu Dec 13, 2012 5:30 pm
Yes, both of those sites belong to the gang and will be reported for fraud.
