SELLER BEWARE – Crime Ring Investigation Continues
Kristal Snider
ERAI
ERAI is investigating what is believed to be a crime ring operating in the Los Angeles, CA and Las Vegas, NV areas. There is evidence to suggest the individuals operating these organizations are placing purchase orders with fraudulent intent. A majority of the addresses provided herein are either residential or belong to shipping services (e.g. Postal Etc., Mail Link, and other similar services). The phone numbers are disconnected, the websites cannot be located, are parked by the registrar, or are currently for sale, and emails are either undeliverable or do not elicit responses. Most of the email accounts end in .net or yahoo.com.
The California group of companies is almost exclusively placing orders for Amphenol connectors. The Las Vegas group of companies is exclusively placing orders for switches. Both groups operate in the exact same manner and are believed to be working together.
A list of the parts the criminals have stolen and are believed to still be seeking can be downloaded at:
