The Latest in IT Security

This fake job offer from inukjob.com involves illegal money laundering, and it also seems that the scammers want to use your identity for “correspondence” which normally means things like reshipping stolen goods and identity theft.

I’ve seen another variant with a reply address of Delores@inukjob.com. In all these cases, the email appears to come from the victim (here’s why). Let’s dig a little deeper into the domain. It turns out that it is registered by scam-friendly Chinese registrar BIZCN.COM.

The WHOIS details are fake:

   Tara Zwilling info@inukjob.com
   315-362-4562 fax: 315-362-4511
   3201 Oak Street
   Syracuse NY 13221
   us

There is no number 3201 Oak Street in Syracuse, New York (see for yourself) and the Zip code is incorrect, it should be 13203 and not 13221.

There’s no web site, mail is handled by a server at 31.214.169.94 (Exetel, Germany).  The following mailservers can be found at that IP:

mx.ineurojob.com
mx.hollandsjob.com
mx.inukjob.com

You can assume that all these domains are fraudulent. If we dig a little deeper at the namesevers ns1.ariparts.net (also on 31.214.169.94) and ns2.ariparts.net (8.163.20.161, Level 3, US), then we can also find the following very dodgy domains:

hollandsjob.com
pracapolsk.com
ariparts.net
ineurojob.com

All these domains have fake or hidden registration details and can assume to be part of a scam. Avoid.
