Name: Finance Group Company Inc.
URL: http://www.finance1groups.com
IP: 62.149.18.63
Country: United States
Type: Job scam
THIS SITE IS FRAUDULENT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
+ This site claims to be a escrow company, but the company is not
registered with the proper authorities. This is a sure sign of a fake
escrow company, and is a guarantee of its illegal nature.
This company claims to be located in United States.
All financial businesses in this country are regulated by The Office of
the Comptroller of Currency.
This escrow company does not appear on their list of legitimate finacial
institutions:
http://www.occ.treas.gov/
+ The company is offering jobs for so called "escrow agents". The job
description is
"accepting funds on your personal bank accounts from the buyers, and
routing them to the sellers according to our instructions afterwards"
This is a clear indication for money laundering and for a mule
recruitment. This can be evidenced at:
http://www.finance1groups.com/vacancies.php
+ The company is listed in the escrow-fraud.com fake site database:
http://www.escrow-fraud.com/fraud_data.php?id=4802
+ The company has no Internet presence beyond their main site, but makes
claims to have been in business for a while:
http://www.google.com/search?as_q=Finan ... ompany+Inc.
+ Site gathers personal information on insecure form. Legitimate
businesses do not gather this type of information without security
precautions.
