I was doing some background searching on the company name.


According to the ASIC
http://www.asic.gov.au/asic/asic_srchlodg.nsf/byheadline/Home+Page?opendocument#asic_search

Extracted from ASIC's database at AEST 13:07:05 on 23/01/2007

Name: FES PTY LTD
ACN: 002 207 632
Type: Australian Proprietary Company, Limited By Shares
Registration Date: 01/07/1981
Next Review Date: 01/07/2007
Status: Registered
Locality of Registered Office: Scotland Island NSW 2105
Jurisdiction: Australian Securities & Investments Commission

Previous State: NSW
Previous Number: 27598447

Former Name(s) FREELAND ENGINEERING SERVICES PTY LTD
KLEFAND PTY LTD

http://www.search.asic.gov.au/cgi-bin/gns030c



------------

The real company is by no means a young company (it was first registered in 1981), as the ad above describes. Also, the previous registration name suggests that they are somehow involved with engineering.

Jurisdiction: Australian Securities & Investments Commission This simply means that they are registered in www.asic.gov.au

Type: Australian Proprietary Company, Limited By Shares - A Proprietary limited company or abbreviated as Pty. Ltd. company (sometimes Pty Ltd. or P/L) under Australian law is a business structure that has at least one shareholder with a limited number of shares. The opposite of Proprietary Limited is the Public limited company.

Following up on my above posting, I found that the content featured on http://www.fesptyltd.com/about.php is directly copied from http://www.offshore-companies.co.uk/eng/mission/


Also, its funny. On the Payments page they have 'Refund Policy' and nothing underneath it, but 'We accept payment by Wire Transfer, Western Union, Money Gram or Credit Cards. We accept payments in the following currencies: USD, Euro.'


-----
Some minor things I personally found funny :D

Check is spelt 'Cheque' in Australia

The head office is in Melbourne, while the business registration is for a place in Sydney, Australia.
Coincidently, its only a 20-30 min drive, and a short ferry ride to Scotland island from where I live. :lol:

The 1st site ties back to a site for 'phishing', while the 2nd site goes to 'joker.com' :x

It also looks like the person is from the States, and not Australia.

[Unregistered]

So this a hoax? I received this email also.

[Nyla]

No, it's a scam, not a hoax. The difference being that a hoax might fool you. This may cost you money and land you in court on criminal charges.

I expect this website will be closed soon. I reported it to Melbourne IT several days ago, and they are generally good about responding to abuse reports.

[Butterpie]

This company was not shut down. I just recieved an e-mail from them. I was tempted, but my doubtful, wonderful quick thinking husband :thumbup: told me to see what I could find on the net. Good thing I did! They are still at it and they are still saying they are from Australia. They are now saying that they have different areas now, like, telecommute work, affiliate programs, sponsorships and travellers assistance.

I believe that this is a scam and that all should beware!!!! This company or so called company is out to get info on "you" and launder money. This is just too good to be true!

FES PTY LTD is a registered and real company in Australia, it was formed in 1981.

The fraudster from the United States is just using/stealing its business details, so it looks legit if you try and look it up by its ACN.

[Brucenk]

I was recently contacted by David Williams of FES Pty Ltd. He insisted that they were sending me a check via US Post. This check was indeed received a few days back in the amount of $3520.15. The check was written on a Wachovia Bank Account in North Carolina in the names of Susan and James Belcher. The return address was in California.

Thus far the check is still in my posession, funds unavailable(go figure) and funny enough I never get a reply from Mr. Williams yet they called my office on numerous occassions asking about receit of the check and when it might clear.

Just figured I'd keep the info flowing.

Hi All,

I was sent a check by Richard Williams for $4700 and was told to keep 10% and send rest through western union. After the check cleared, I sent money.
My bank just told me It was a bogus check. This company made a fake check and the Acount Holder called the Bank that he never wrote the check. My bank has reversed the transaction and I lost $4700 alltogether. Stay away from this company.
