Job offer spam: United Travel Partners (utp-biz.com / utp-biz.org)
"United Travel Partners" - another money transfer scam
There are two domains, utp-biz.org and utp-biz.com in this scam. One advertized jobs in Australia, the other in the USA. There are visual similarities between the utp-biz.com advertisement and fraudulent job offer ads for eBay fraud and phishing-related frauds, but the job description is quite different. It's confusing at first. However, it's the same money transfer scam: The "employee" will receive a bank transfer and will have to wire it somewhere else by Western Union or Moneygram. There are similarities to the "Westernpoint" scam.

From: "Kurt Sekel" <egeizuibaw@ataloss.com> To: "US citizen" <emailaddress> Sent: Wednesday, 06 April, 2005 23:56 Subject: Home based Travel Agent position Hello, Our employment agency has forwarded your contacts to fill-in a new travel agent opening with our company. We are offering a compensation package of fixed monthly salary and performance bonus for the agent position. Please see the details below. The home-based travel agent is an independent contractor, which means that he or she has a great degree of freedom as far as determining how and with whom to do business. Some home-based travel agents function simply as referral agents, funneling business to a travel agency but not handling any of the booking details themselves. Home-based travel agents, of whatever level of sophistication, can work either full-time or part-time or only occasionally. There are home-based travel agents who earn money, home-based travel agents who earn a tidy part-time income, home-based travel agents who bring down a substantial middle-class income, and home-based travel agents who earn six-figure incomes. As you can see, there are so many variations and combinations that it is difficult to define the "typical" home-based travel agent. This means that virtually anyone can be a home-based travel agent, on their own terms and at their own pace, creating the type of home-based travel marketing business that makes sense for them. As a referral agent, you don't have to know a great deal about the mechanics of the travel industry. Your job is to communicate the fun and excitement of travel and get people to call our agency. The individual in this position covers all sales initiatives in an assigned territory. The incumbent meets with all agencies assigned on a consistent basis in order to solicit business and provide customer service. Preparation of periodic reports is also completed as required. Essential Functions: - Secures opportunities to quote on customer requirements. - Follows up (by phone or visit) on quotations submitted to customers. - Establishes professional customer/vendor relationships with appropriate customer personnel. - Submits monthly activity/call reports concerning customer-related activities for quotes, questions, and problems concerning customer/vendor relationships. - Performs all assigned duties in the assigned sales territory. - Assists management in the preparation of a sales forecast on a periodic basis and meets with management periodically to review sales, visits made, and customer service feedback obtained. Remember that there is no start up cost or any fees involved. To continue the application or to find out more about this exciting oppurtunity, please fill out this form. http://utp-biz.com/vacancies.html If you are hired you will receive a training package and first pilot assignments within next two weeks. Regards, Kurt Sekel

- Exactly zero Google hits for the company name, "YourSafeWay Inc" or its street address "1020 Lexington Ave., 4th Floor", despite the company supposedly being 5 years old.
- The domain advertised in this job offer spam was only created a week before the job offer spam was sent.
- A company turning over $60m in sales last year normally doesn't use a shared phone / fax number.
- "Vacancies" is the most prominent menu item on the website, which indicates that this is a hit and run affair: find victims to move money for the gang, then move on to a new website...
