Subject: FAKE ESCROW/COURIER SERVICE: vehiclechoiceinc.com

Abuse complaint regarding:


Name: Vehicle Choice Inc.
URL: http://www.vehiclechoiceinc.com
IP: 74.52.128.210
Country: Canada
Type: Escrow service


THIS SITE IS FRAUDULENT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

+ The escrow service is not registered with The Companies House of Canada.
This is a sure sign of a fake escrow service, and is a guarantee of its illegal nature.

This can be evidenced here: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/app/ccc/searc ... g&portal=1


+ This particular site is using a known fraudulent layout. This particular layout has been used many times as can be seen in the fake escrow sites gallery area at http://escrow-fraud.com/images/sites/Layout35/ .


+ The escrow service is listed in the escrow-fraud.com fake site database:
http://www.escrow-fraud.com/fraud_data.php?id=2199


+ The site's telephone number does not match its claimed location. At http://www.vehiclechoiceinc.com/contact/contact.php the escrow service gives 1 (509) 277-6780 as its primary business number.
This business claims to be located in Canada, but the telephone number is from Spokane, WA, USA.
As can be verified at:
http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=ana ... on=phonenr


+ Site gathers personal information on insecure form. Legitimate businesses do not gather this type of information without security precautions.

Customer login: http://www.vehiclechoiceinc.com/solutions/solutions.php
Register: http://www.vehiclechoiceinc.com/data/registration.php


+ Short domain registration:

The site registration period:
Creation date: 02 Oct 2006 00:23:48
Expiration date: 02 Oct 2007 00:23:48


+ The domain registration information is recent, though the site claims to have been in business for some time.

The site claims to have been in business since: 2001
The WHOIS registration says: 2006
