Found another scam artist

[savvygeeks]

i got an email saying they need resellers so i went to their site and their prices are excellent. i emailed back asking if they receive credit cards and they replied back saying they were victim of credit card fraud and they do not take credit cards. now let me ask you people with common sense, does this sound a little odd? check their site out. http://www.worldidmedia.com

Sure looks that way.
Besides the no CC part;
Site gives

Zip Code: 37123
Verona, Italy
or
14 Saffron Close
Zip Code: LU2 7GF, Luton
Bedfordshire, UK
+39.045.576592

WhoIs gives

20059 NORTHMOOR
JOHNSTOWN,CO
80534
UNITED STATES
Creation Date........ 2006-06-05
Registration Date.... 2006-06-05
Expiry Date.......... 2007-06-05

Minimum order is $1500.

And you'll just love this part. A reverse look-up of the phone number says;

Italy
Vatican city

[savvygeeks]

forgot to mention. i did a whois and this is what comes up. LOL. look at the creation and expiration date of the site. now why in hell would a legitimate business not register for at least 5-10 years? also, these guys are supposed to be in europe and what's up with colorado and the phone number being an international number. too flaky. also this site is too similar to beticaelectronica.com which is a known scam site.

That's why I left the name from WhoIs out of my post. More likely that is stolen CC info or just a name that was picked out of the phone book.

In other words its fake/fraudulent info.

The phone number on the website is for the Pope, the whoIs info gives a mailing address in CO, with a phone number in S Texas: Corpus Christi, Area code 361. Also note that the contact info in the WhoIs is a yahoo e-mail addy. Free e-mail account.
EDIT:
A hint, any phone number that begins with a +1 is a US number.

I'd say no. Completly different profile. This is more like the Venco Electronica, PLESTER e-SHOP, or Quantum Shop type. Different website layout from any of the sites that I've seen lately.
Not a very good job either. Notice that the host is a Yahoo server. Which means that they won't be up for long, Yahoo will pull the site once they start getting complaints.

Welcome to RR.
As to http://www.ukih2k.net/ the website 'About Us' page gives;

STRATFORD ROAD 9
LONDON
UK
W8 6RF
Phone: +20-83383077

Per countrycallingcodes.com +20 is the code for Egypt. The number in the WhoIs info;4819388322, per bennetyee.org is not a valid area code for N. America, using the country codes site +48 is the code for Poland. As to the address, the USPS says it is a valid address, however whitepages.com reverse address look-up cannot find it and 'Google Earth ' shows a dirt road surrounded by woodlands. So it's a safe bet that the WhoIs info is fake.
