Again, fake reviews on a clone of Dealer Rater, active from the fraudulent domain name dealer-rater.com:

The real Dealer Rater is active since 2002 and uses the domain name dealerrater.com.

The fake one was registered in August.

All eight "happy clients" pretend to be using the company services before that company was even active online. Six of them were apparently posting their reviews even before dealer-rater.com was registered...

The scammers have created even a clone of the European Road Haulers Association (UETR) where the fake escrow company can be found:

VTIS Automotive Cargo

Tel.:+46 08-5592-5885

The real European Road Haulers Association (UETR) was founded in 1998 and uses the domain name uetr.eu.

Last but not least , a clone of Bloomberg, showing:

VTIS Automotive Cargo
VTIS Automotive Cargo, www. vtiscargo.com provides online escrow services. The Company acts as a trusted third party that collects, holds, and disburses funds according to buyer and seller instructions.
SECTOR Transport & Escrow
INDUSTRY International Shipping
SUB-INDUSTRY Escrow
FOUNDED 1999
ADDRESS Solkraftsvägen 12, 135 70 Stockholm, Sweden
PHONE +46 08-5592-5885
WEBSITE www. vtiscargo.com

The scammers simply stole the Bloomberg page for Escrow.com Inc and changed the name of the company, the location and the website.

The real Bloomberg was founded in 1981 and uses the domain name bloomberg.com.

The fake one was registered in August and uses the domain name bloomberginfo.press.

The fake site gets updated with the fake escrow company the scammers are currently using and the details are replaced with the next fake escrow company the scammers will be using in their next fraud.

I apologize for the delayed answer but I am a doctor and my time is very limited during the day. Hope you understand. We are about 8 hours ahead here.You have to know this is a private deal and I am not interested in any financing or loan deal. I would like to sell the vehicle only for cash. I live in Poland, and the vehicle is also located in Poland, Europe . I bought this vehicle from Canada at the time when I was there (I stayed 10 months in Canada with my job). Because of the Polish new regulations is hard for me to register the vehicle here, and I think the best option for me now is to sell it back to Canada because the vehicle still has a Canada registration on it and I think will be much easy for the new owner with the registration process (will be just like a regular registration in your country). Let me know if you still have interest in it. Attached you have more pics with the car.

Thank you
Mike

Thank you for your reply. As I told you in my last email if you are decided to buy the vehicle we have to deliver it to your location. I can take care of this. We can use the same transportation company that I used in the past when I shipped the vehicle from Canada to Poland. The transportation fee will be paid by me. They will deliver the vehicle to your location (your address) and also they will allow you to check the vehicle before the transaction is completed. The delivery company will act as a third party in our transaction. The delivery time will take around 15-20 days. You will not send me any money, the money will be received by the shipping company after they will pick up the vehicle and the title from my place and they will release the money to my account only after you check and test the vehicle at your location . I think in this way we both can be safe. It's a good company with over 30 years experience in this domain . Let's talk by phone so we can discuss better about everything. Leave me a number where I can reach you at.

Mike

They kept even the "CEO":
