 | reply to MGD Is this what you need? Hmmm they both have the same 4 digit number after them - does that mean the same processor?
11/22/2010 CHK CRD WWW.RELIABLECHI 5732 CLR $9.62
This is the other:
11/18/2010 CHK CRD WWW.FULLYDIGIST 5732 CLR $9.62
even though they cleared 4 days apart, they originally showed up as pending on my accounts within a day of each other. Maybe the weekend slowed one down as far as processing.
To answer your questions -
Both cards were debit/credit cards issued from my bank (same bank, 2 accounts. one is business one is personal). My name is on my personal card, my name plus an extra word (my biz name) is on the biz card.
I can only think of a single place I ever used both cards - my biz card gets used all over but I rarely use my personal card at all. The last time I used it online that I can recall was the website Groupon. And I actually had to dispute the charge with them because I first used my biz card and it told me it was declined, so I then tried the personal account. That one went through but they ended up charging me on BOTH accounts. I looked back to June on my personal account and aside from that, I have no online purchases with that card.
"Many thanks for posting, and for adding another of the OCS's card fraud laundering websites to the pandemic fraud list.
Can you please post the exact line item charge for the SCAM FRAUD = reliablechip.COM 209-690-9828 = SCAM FRAUD.
Were the cards issued from the same or different financial institutions?.
Do the cards share common activity / vendors over the past 24 months?.
Both cards debit, credit, one of each?.
Both cards in the same account name ?." |

Yet another small-ish host with mostly Russian language sites on it. I know of a bit over 100 domains using those nameservers, and a little over 20 sites hosted on the same IP. Almost all in Russian. |

Another card fraud laundering website which has "hit the ground running" !!. I suspect in this case, since fraud charges are reporting 2 weeks after the domain was registered, is that RELIABLECHIP.COM 209-690-9828 is the SECOND or higher card fraud website for an existing active cyber-mule who already has a merchant account. May even be the same San Jose, CA, cyber-mule whose business bank and merchant account is at a local branch of COMERICA Bank

Once again note the quick move of the domain away from the original DNS, so the domain cannot be locked out or revoked by the original vendor.
It appears that SCAM FRAUD = FULLYDIGISTORE.COM 209-710-5385 = FRAUD SCAM went offline also, in tandem with its sibling SCAM FRAUD = USTECHTODAY.COM 209-710-5237 = SCAM FRAUD
Again please post the line item of the fraud charge for: SCAM FRAUD = RELIABLECHIP.COM 209-690-9828 = SCAM FRAUD include any state abbreviation. Obtaining an ARN (Acquirer Reference Number for that transaction would be very helpful.
Less than 14 DAYS from domain registration to completed fraud charging, sets another milestone in the infamy of this multi year Organized Crime Syndicate.
It also underscores just how completey owned the financial system, and ultimately consumers, are by this massive fraud operation.

Siteshots are a great archiving tool for preserving these quickly pulled websites. Interestingly, an analysis of USTECHTODAY.COM once again yielded a forensic crumb which connects the current group back to the card fraud operations in 2008. This connection also ties back to the first discovery of the Organized Crime Syndicate's testing of non intangible card fraud laundering websites, real physical products. During the shadowing of the birthing and start up phase of the 2008 UK Berry fraud operation which was hosted in the US on a master block of IPs owned by the now defunct and notorious Russian McColo Cybercrime operation. During that 2008 shadowing, an audit revealed these two websites stashed on the OCS's McColo IP space megaphotostore.net and kiddytoys.net on IPs 208.72.172.194 and 208.72.172.195 respectively. Though apparently targeted at the UK, these were the first card fraud laundering websites discovered listing tangible products.
Take note of the stock camera photo used on the main header display of the 2008 MEGAPHOTOSTORE.NET:

Though at first it may not appear to be related to the camera photo used on USTECHTODAY.COM

and the circa 2008 UK targeted MEGAPHOTOSTORE.NET

Forensic analysis shows that both pics, though altered and presented differently, are both derived from the same identical stock photo.
You can begin to see it when the mirrored images from each are presented side by side:

Once rotated and presented in the same perspective, the matching hash values becomes visually obvious:

One of hundreds of data bits collected over time, where individually they may seem as random events, however, collectively they add significantly to the evidence data.

Is there any way I can get this domain name removed? I'm now directing people to contact that other site or better yet, their credit card company, but I'd rather have the other site shut down if possible. Thanks! Kudos for placing an alert of your site ribbon-o-matic.com »www.ribbon-o-matic.com about the car fraud laundering site ICON-O-MATIC.ORG Hopefully it will stop victims from incorrectly associating your site with the fraudulent one.

Record created on: 2010-09-07
SCAM FRAUD = BRATTTOYS.COM 352-397-2859 = FRAUD SCAM must have hit the ground running after their 09/10 formation:
=======================
352-397-2859 reported on Nov 26 hit my bank statement for 4.97 too
=======================
352-397-2859 reported on Nov 23 $ 4.97 also showed up on my visa. I don't know why or how.
=======================
352-397-2859 reported on Nov 22 they got my card also.
=======================
352-397-2859 reported on Nov 20 This company, Brattcompany.com, showed up on my Visa statement with acharge for $4.97. I
have no idea who they are or what the charge is for.
=======================
352-397-2859 reported on Nov 20 this number showed up on my bank statement shows as brattcompany.com. they stole my debit
card number, no such company or number.
=======================
Reasonable to suspect that SCAM FRAUD = BRATTTOYS.COM 352-397-2859 = FRAUD SCAM and SCAM FRAUD = BENETENTERPRISES.COM 727-493-2152 = FRAUD SCAM
are the same cyber-mule based on the common Crestview, FL 32536

The business entity is similarily configured to an anonymous mail drop / forwarwarding service many miles away

Manager/Member Detail
Name & Address Title MGRM
BENET, BERNHARD 602 S MAIN ST #782 CRESTVIEW FL 32536
Annual Reports No Annual Reports Filed ==================

Due to relativley unique name we can trace BERNHARD BENET and his LKA to the Tampa,FL area, and more specifically to Tarpon Springs, FL., not anywhere near the Crestview, FL/ mail dropbox over near Pensacola. Online promotions for other business entities connected to him or his wife show a residential address near Tampa, FL of:
HOA Publishers 3831 Brooksworth Ave, Tarpon Springs, FL 34688 727-934-7038
That residential address was corroborated as recently as January 2010 on an annual report filing with the state of Florida for Travel Pros, Inc., A Delaware Corporation, and also for Tpi Training Services, Inc.

Only the online filing for BENETENTERPRISES.COM 727-493-2152 carries a contact address of Crestview, FL:

The OCS tactic of a remote drop box is certainly not new, but does appear to be a consistent SOP of this genre. An address close enough so as not to raise suspicion during the merchant account application process, and far enough away to shelter and hide the cyber-mule. The OCS goes to some lengths to locate an independent mail drop within a defined radius of the cyber-mule.
EDIT = ADD:
The presumption is that these are all cyber-mules and not LLC formations using identity theft data. As mentioned before while there have been some cases in th epast of drop box set ups for that purpose, specifically in the toll free group, the vast majority of drop box configurations were for the named cyber-mules. Mary Attalla was one such example where drop boxes were utilized for subsequent LLC formations. We have yet to uncover for this genre both the mode and recruiting vector used for recruitment.
The curent mass profilation of card fraud laundering websites now almost nearing the pandemic stage, reiterates both the level of access and unfettered availability that this organized Crime Syndicate has to consumer's card and identity account data. Regadless of the rate of uncovery of these card fraud laundering entities it still remains only a percentage of the total.

Evelio areas .
Indeed you are, I recall trying on multiple occasions to locate a contact number for you during mid 2008. Not only was your assigned entity short lived, the Organized Crime Syndicate then utilized your identity to register multiple subsequent card fraud laundering domains after your departure.
