The C&C and recruitment division of this crime syndicate has a new hub site that has been recruiting cyber-mules, primarily from job postings on Craigslist during the past three months.

The job ads are very generic, and advertise part time management positions. There are no links or leads in the postings as to who they are. Once a potential cyber-mule submits their resume they first receive the following response:

To: Potential Cyber-mule

Subject: Job offer on Craigslist, Fellow Solutions, Inc

Hello "Potential Cyber-mule"

Thank you for responding to Fellow Solutions, Inc's job offer on
Craigslist.

I represent Fellow Solutions, Inc. My name is Aleksandr Kostanda, I'm
a manager of this company. We are a rapidly growing comprehensive
Business Solutions, Internet and Website Design company. We specialize
in getting businesses onto the Internet quickly and professionally.
Our manager team will grow the next 3 months.
In this letter I will kindly let you into the details of Fellow
Solutions, Inc position of Manager.

We have been in Business 7 Years and many of our staff have been
involved with the Internet for a lot longer, we are somewhat of an OLD
business in this relatively new industry.

Our Marketing Department has developed a perfect idea to boost sales
(our company produces web items).
The idea is to have more subsidiaries that would resell our Webstite
Templates.

As more we have the websites (subsidiaries) as more we can get new
customers and of course we get more profit. The advantage of having
such subsidiaries lies in having different business names sell our
web design services. It's business strategy.

Manager is the person who owns a subsidiary company.
Anyone can do this, because setting up a small company of your own is
very simple, and provided with easy-to-follow step-by-step
instructions of your personal Fellow Solutions, Inc manager.

After your company is set up, Fellow Solutions, Inc will create a
website (online store) for you which will resell our templates.

Final step is launching your store live on the web and taking your
commission from sales.
Your income will increase as the business progresses.

Let me emphasize extremely advantageous features that are sure to help
you make the right decision and become our partner. They are:

- No skills and experience in programming and web design are required
from you. Fellow Solutions, Inc professionals will handle all
technical questions;
- You will not have to sell or advertise anything. It is our special
marketing department that will be responsible for it;
- It's good opportunity for the manager because for this work he
spends not too much time and can work for his usual work and for our
company because we have the opportunity to enter to the USA's market.

If you've got a burning desire to succeed and are interested in
maximizing your personal and professional growth, please kindly get
back to us via our email address
( aleksandr_kostanda7@fellowsolutions.com). I will get back to you with
every little detail of how our cooperation will develop.

Please reply to this email: aleksandr_kostanda7@fellowsolutions.com

Respectfully,
Aleksandr Kostanda,
Fellow Solutions, Inc.
