[Scam] Survey Says ... this website ain't no prize!

One of the mod team came across seemingly known scam. This go round ... they are using our name. Clearly ... we are NOT in business of surveys or prizes.

It popped up when he started an IE to use a VPN that can't use firefox.

It is a known malware "propagator".

Anybody game for a bit of sleuthing? Would be nice to bite this bunch in the hind end(s). Send a little legal action their way ...

Anyone else seen this in action? any ideas on who they are? I am willing to bet they are changing their name often as this current domain is a May 2011 registry.

I'm curious if there's a redirector for the specific address used for the 'survey'. The page at surveyprizecenter.com doesn't seem to do much.

You might send them a takedown notice.

Maineville is a tiny suburb of Cincinnati, 128 acres, one traffic light. They have no datacenter, they're just a reseller.

Took the survey using Safari for Windows. No popups presented; but a TCP port viewer didn't show any connections. Hmmm.

Used a 'yahoo.com' disposable email address, and a phone number from my Caller ID list of incoming calls, one I knew was from a political call center soliciting donations.

Created a filter in the Yahoo! account to dump all email to that disposable email address in one particular folder.

Fed the survey a wad of false, but plausible data. Waiting to see what hits those folders.

Well - consider this thread an official complaint.
What have you done to redress the issue?
And frankly, how is that site hijacking/redirecting when someone using IE goes to "dslreports.com" ?? It doesn't happen with Firefox, it doesn't happen with Chrome. Just IE.

You've been told they're not affiliated with DSLREPORTS - and the hijack is not welcome. What steps are you going to take??

Sounds like DNS cache poisoning or running through a proxy to me. I'm viewing this on IE right now, no problems.

Having different browsers resolve the same url to different ip's sounds like possibly a proxy address was slid into the IE connections settings. May want to run a malware scan.

I have now disposed of the disposable email address.

First email hit on 7/16/2011. From . Total of 454 email messages through 9/12/2011.

Roughly 8.5 email messages per day to that particular email address. Whatever else you may find, the survey seems primarily to be an email address harvester. If I didn't know that I had set that email address up for this test, I would have thought I was being hammered by spam. Main reason why I don't put my email address on mall contest entry forms; got heavily spammed by doing so. Once. But it took me a few weeks, in that case, to associate the commercial email adverts with the contest entry. Sleazy, yes. Very. But if you willingly give up your email address to the harvester, can you really call the results, "spam"?

Particularly since this is such an obvious fraud, heaped in deception, not to mention the possible potential criminal issues with respect to DNS.

Congratulations!

You have been selected to participate in an anonymous dslreports survey. For a limited time, we are offering selected participants from [script to geo locate ip address and name city/town] an exclusive gift for participating.

To begin, please complete STEP 1. Participation required.



Not only does the SCAM SurveyPrizeCente.com intercept traffic and assume the identity of dslreports.com, the entire operation is rogue. There is no prize, only the harvesting of names, email addresses, and cell phone numbers for spamming. The testimonials are fabricated and total deception (Attention FTC), The same pics are assigned to multiple names depending on the IP location of the viewer.

A focus shot of the above:

Scammers, Spammers, and other assorted Cyber Criminals, frequently use anonymous cloaking services for domain registrations in a premeditated plan to hide the ownership details of domains set up for nefarious activities. The internet equivalent of conducting business while wearing a ski mask.

As expected, the scamming surveyprizecenter.com follows this rule, and has a recent cloaked registration:
.

IP Location:
- Ohio - Maineville - Beyond Hosting Llc


Let's begin the forensic hunting expedition right at the front door, audit surveyprizecenter.com and the surrounding neighborhood. Though there appears to be numerous domains on "Beyond Hosting LLC" worth looking at with respect to potential rogue online advertising, we will limit our initial review to the immediate neighborhood of the SCAM surveyprizecenter.com pop up hijacking while masquerading as an affiliation of DSLREPORTS.

An analysis of the immediate domains in that cluster indicate the following are "Next of Kin", so to speak, to

surveyprizecenter.com

IP= 8.29.132.122

Domain = apxtrkr.com

IP= 8.29.132.123

Domain = nationalsurveyboard.com

Domain = surveyprizecenter.com

IP= 8.29.132.125

Domain = extremecouponsnow.com

Infringement, Name hijacking, pop up dns based intercept, total fake to dupe internet users into giving up their number for text spamming and their email address to spam harvesting:




a closeup of the above domain name from this siteshot



Possibly thousands of domains are subjected to this form of carpet bombing name hijacking & popup. You can see what the targeted domain is, as it is listed at the end of the PHP scripted string:

Total FRAUD and DECEPTION:




Not just misleading, deceptive and an impostor, a TOTAL Lie.

apxtrkr.com is, as its name indicates, is a tracking and script directing domain for the various scam popups.

This malware analysis shows the scripted routine:

Really, Oh Really !!

Started out simple enough:

Name/Company:
apaxmedia.com

Country:
United States

City:
Hamden

I'm new to the getafreelancer.com community. I have over a decade of web development experience. I currently run my

own web design company and I am constantly looking to take on new projects. It is my goal to spread my company name

throughout the industry by providing customers with high quality, low cost web design and web solutions.

>> My qualifications:

- 10+ years of experience with HTML. Able to install and modify JavaScript, CSS, PHP and scripts of several other

languages. Will be able to install, modify or create 99% of scripts you may need for your site.

- 10+ years of experience with graphics and logo design, identity management and company branding.

- Search engine optimization, Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing professional. Advanced online web marketer.

PageRank tweaking.

- Dual major in Communications and Media Production with a Masters in Information Systems Management from Quinnipiac

University, Hamden, CT, USA. Located in New Haven, CT.

>> What makes me different:

- I'm new to this community, thus I want to make the best impression as possible. Your website will be created by

someone with a decade of experience. It will gleam with professionalism, excellence and perfection.

- I'll take your website's competitors into account (if applicable). I'll make sure YOUR site is better than your

competitors in terms of aesthetics, ease of use, quality and functionality.

- I'm located in the USA. Your job won't be outsourced overseas to someone who hardly knows English or understands

how to deliver a site to an English-targeted audience.

- I won't expect payment until you are happy. I'll be there to update or make minor changes to your website for as

long as it takes to make it perfect. I'll supply you with my instant message names, personal e-mail and cell phone number.

Since then, progressed to a whole new level. Though many of the scripting jobs he recruits for are hidden, wonder why. Why go Rogue !!

Some of the jobs that are not hidden:

We need someone experienced in WAP friendly page design to create a landing page that has the following:

Text: "Please enter your cell phone number:"

underneath this, a cell phone field, max 10 digits. Validate the phone number and present WAP friendly validation

error if phone number is not proper.

On form submit, you'll http post that form to a URL we will supply.

Your page must validate highly here:

If you can do a good job, we'll have plenty more WAP projects for you. Thanks!

DEADLINE is 6 hours. This should not take long.
BUDGET is $30 max. Bids higher will be rejected.


Apparently these "issues" won't end anytime soon, a lot of nefarious stuff in the pipeline

We need a designer who can design professional looking, cleanly-coded, lightweight (low file size) landing pages for

email and zip submit CPA offers.

Examples:

[obscured] /bb7/index.php
[obscured] /ipzas2/index.php
[obscured] /wm2/index.v1.php

We need 1 landing page. This includes the front index.php page, as well as the sign-up page ( [obscured]

/bb7/index.php), and the HTML/CSS code.

Turnaround time needs to be QUICK, it shouldn't take 1+ week for a simple mockup. The way I like to work it is I

send you a few website designs for ideas/inspiration, we'll chat on Skype or elance to hammer out the specifics,

then you create 1-2 mockup jpegs. I have no interest in filling out design questionnaires, as they are not necessary

for landing pages, so please do not send them.

A LOT of potential design work $$$ if you can DELIVER. We reserve the right to cancel the project and hire another

designer if your first mockup doesn't meet our goals.

One can never know..... when you pick the wrong domain name to hijack for a fake survey and non existing prize.

Who knew !!

At the very least, this operation may routinely violate the FTC deceptive practices and standards, at worst, some of the scripting may violate Federal Computer Intrusion laws. Ignorance should not be an issue here.

Yes, most certainly the results are spam / UCE. They are knowingly sent by ANDREW PAUXTIS and his Apaxmedia, Inc. operation, in clear violation of the CAN-SPAM Act. Your logging of 454 emails within that period constitutes abusive bombardment IMO.

I believe your characterization of this as being only "sleazy", fails to consider numerous egregious factors in these cases. Most notable is the fact that victim's first & last names, cell phone numbers (for text spamming) and email addresses are obtained via "Phishing".

An internet user's visit to a website is intercepted, and a pop up masquerading as an authorized,legitimate page from the website is presented to the victim. The name of the website is prominently displayed in large bold letters. The intent is to deceive the victim and convince them that the website itself is conducting the survey. Victims may be lured into giving up their contact information on the belief that the website, which they may know and trust, is conducting a legitimate survey. In many cases they are told falsey that they have already won a prize.

Not only is this internet traffic interception and redirection probably illegal, but the established reputation of the legitimate website may be tarnished when the visitor gets repeatedly text and emailed spammed upon completion. In addition to this injury, there are gross trademark and copyright infringments via impersonation taking place.

All victim personal data name, email, cell phone, are obtained by fraudulent deception. Any subsequent use of this fraudulently obtained data by ANDREW PAUXTIS and his Apaxmedia, Inc, is illegal. Any quasi check off agreement accepted by the visitor on the bogus pages agreeing to future communications is therefore null and void.

NormanS See Profile Do you still have the spam data?. I would be very interested in seeing the domains that are being spammed published in the thread, in order to see who APAXMEDIA's customers are that are utilizing this nefarious method.

Apparenlty ANDREW PAUXTIS forgot to proof check his Apaxmedia, Inc APAXMEDIA.COM website. Besides pretending his "OFFICE", rather than his ECM mail drop box, is located on Park Avenue he also lists the Park Avenue zip code as 11758, which is actually the Massapequa, NY zip code of where Mr. Pauxtis lives.

Hi Justin,

Almost a month after your posting, your rogue customer ANDREW PAUXTIS and his APAXMEDIA are still operating their scamming surveyprizecenter.com operation and other domains from beyondhosting.net - Beyond Hosting, LLC's IP addresses.

Justin, how exactly did you "Take care of this" back on August 08/30/2011? Nothing short of immediate termination of his account was appropriate, in order to limit your liability from his actions. Surely this wilful scam operation is a serious violation of your TOS.

I need you to send us an email. I do not monitor the forums daily. Abuse@beyondhosting.net -- This information is publicly available so I am not sure why you did not come straight to us in the first place.

We will forward the complaint to our customer as well as review it with our lawyer. After the customer is sent the complaint they will have 3 days to respond and take care of the issue themselves. If they do not respond they are then shutdown.

I don't get it. You know the problem exists. Why aren't you doing something about it now? Why didn't you do something about it back on August 30th? Why the delay tactic in waiting for an email to be sent? You certainly found this thread so it's not a secret. It's just as good as an email.

I rather suspect that, as long as Andrew Pauxtis' checks clear, they'd rather not lose their revenue stream.
