They must read these forums, and they do try very very hard but I still rate these UK based scammers of African origin as entry level clueless idiots.

It is fully compliant with the European Union Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) and is regulated and authorized by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission - License number CIF 107/09, giving clients’ full confidence in company as their preferred FX broker
.

Technically and grammatically preposterous but invaluable in determining their level of incompetence.

A US based company authorised in Cyprus operating in the UK ? :roll:

If it's authorised and regulated in Cyprus then that's the only place it can legally operate, which would make it rather daft to be based in the USA offering jobs to UK citizens. It might as well be authorised and regulated in Narnia. Such glaring errors make establishing it to be a scam site ridiculously easy.

I have to add that a Cyprus authorised financial organisation would be one to steer well clear of anyway, but these scammers know nothing.

I do commend their correct use of the apostrophe.

:=)

They've even slipped in some Yahoozie terminology, which is the Nigerian term for 419 scammers, though clearly they want to appear desperately to be something better.

It's interesting to note this job offer from a company claiming the same authorisation details back in January 2011.

On a balance of probabilities you wonder why 'mules' are being used if the scammer is just utilising card details, as they could go straight to a site like WU or MG and make the payment themselves and avoid the effort and cost of recruiting mules.

The obvious reason would appear to be that where the payments are coming from there is no access, or no access that wouldn't be picked up by security, to WU or MG sites, and that leaves two obvious solutions. Banks and financial companies themselves or companies and government/council bodies that must make thousands of payments daily, some of which probably don't have the most secure systems. Government and council bodies must make thousands of benefit payments daily to private individuals and I doubt they have the security procedures and checks that were applied within banks in my day. With the modern preference to use temporary staff for this type of work the security vulnerability is obvious.

Of course any person misrouting funds to a mule will inevitably be caught, prosecuted and never get a job handling funds again, but the scammers can use and burn them the same way they do their money mules. On a large enough scale they can make a fortune as they leave a trail of wreckage and destroyed lives in their wake.
