Ok...

I have checked out http://www.quickap.net and found this one to be a fraud.

first I check the WHOIS info

quickap.net = [ 64.94.117.8 ]

End of Whois Information

First thing I noticed is that the DATE of registration is 17-NOV-04 Awfully new for a Proffessional Company (not for a Professional Scammer though).

Next I looked around at the site itself. I find the comments alot about Technology developed by Micro General Corp. in 1985 in the fraudulant sites (found on their about us page http://www.quickap.net/index1.php?show=about_us )

And finally (for me anyway) I love the Verisign (or other "Trust" logos) logo. They go to another site and duplicate the code (html) for the verisign info. (it's simple. I did it as a demonstration. http://escrow-fraud.pgardner.net/Verisign/verisign.php ) The site is supposed to be presented from Verisigns own server (and thus have a verisign.com address. ) but they try to hide that from you using Javascript and hiding the address bar. If you want to see the real site with out the address bar hidden you can see the forged Verisign info at http://www.quickap.net/inc/verisign.php


I won't waste more time on this site. It's a fraud and I have added it to my database list of fraudulant sites

As for fapayment.net, again I start with the WHOIS info (this time I used whois.easydns.com )

Again note the CREATED date of 2004-10-13 Since I am writing this on 2004-11-22, I would be suspicious of this one too.

Further more, as of the time of writing, this site is No Longer available for viewing on the web.

Thus I have added it to my database of fraud/potential frauds.

I hope this helps.

Good Luck.

Many, many thanks!
I knew there was something wrong, but needed to be sure. The eBay custumer is behaving as a manual fraud author!!! Now, what shall I do? I want him to be punished by law or at least stopped, in order not to fraud somebody else... Shall I call the police? eBay doesn't pay much attention to these kinda notes posted to the site... Sad, but true...
PS: I found it funny to follow the evolution of the whole story!!!

My suggestion is to contact the Local Law Enforcement and see what they would like you to do. I suspect they won't do much since, apparently, no crime (as of yet) has been committed.

The next best choice would be to contact the IFCC http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp and see if they can and will do anything. Again, this is difficult because these crimes often cross internationatl boundries and many organizations that would try to help find it difficult to do things internationally.

Finally, if you are really brave (or just want to be a pain in their side ) You could lead them on, find out where money is going (probalby western union) and try and notify the Law Enforcement in that area. Again, it's a stretch. I unfortunately, have found out, like so many others, the hard way, which is why I have developed this site to help others to be informed.

Typically, when I add a new fraud site to the list they are in the search engines within 3 days (many have been in there the NEXT day.)

Thanks for pointing out these sites and I hope this information is helpfu to you.
