Fraudster: Juragan Mbako

Summary of the Fraud Research

An order was received on March 17, 2015. Order was for a large number of Petzl Carabiners. These are not something that sells in this quantity so the order was flagged for research. Just a couple weeks later the order was marked as fraudulent by processor. The Email address “Juragan@SafetyBOS.com” was pinged  & didn’t bounce. Our email was never replied to. The domain “SafetyBOS” was slurped from SafetyBOSS.com. A call was placed to Safety Boss, alerting them to the cloned site. A followup email was sent to SafetyBoss.com letting them know of the details. An ICANN fraud complaint was launched & the site was removed.

The WHOIS information revealed that the SafetyBOS site was hosted from somewhere outside Jakarta, Indonesia. This matches the name “Juragan Mbako” from a brief Facebook search for the name… most of the owners of that name are from indonesia.

A search was done on the order’s billing & shipping information. These were actually the same with this one. Turns out the address belongs to a company that does virtual office space. Someone is renting an office, “FI 25” at this location & committing internet fraud.
