Identity fraud

Impala Fruit warns against fraudster

On Wednesday, Impala fruit had a run-in with someone pretending to be a Czech firm. This person randomly got in touch through Skype, pretending to be the Tekoo firm in the Czech Republic. He had registered tekoo.eu, but the original website can be visited at tekoo.cz.

"By visiting tekoo.eu, you are forwarded to tekoo.cz, giving you the impression that you're visiting a GOOD company. He now tries to purchase from under the guise of Tekoo, with his own transportation. On Tekoo, of course we get a credit limit. So the bill will also go to Tekoo, but the shipment itself will never arrive, because that's being taken to another address."

Fortunately, all information of a registrant can be viewed publicly, including a correspondence e-mail address. The registrant uses the following correspondence e-mail address: tutti-frutti@gmx.us.

Impala Fruit has looked up which other names he has registered, and the following turned up: www.benvdwaal.com By visiting this website, you're linked to Ben vd Waal's existing website. So he's planning to purchase on behalf of this firm, and will correspond using an e-mail address that ends in @benvdwaal.com. This way, Ben vd Waal could suddenly be confronted with invoices for products they DIDN'T buy.

The individual has more registered (we don't know if this is his "own" company, but it appears he sells the fruit that was bought through this):
 
andezejnosal.com
The registrant's address is:
 
Registrant Name: Andezej Nogal
Registrant Organization: Andezej Nosal
Registrant Street: Rzymowskiego 31
Registrant City: Warszawa
Registrant State/Province: Warszawa
Registrant Postal Code: 02-697
Registrant Country: PL
Registrant Phone: +79261784255 (of course not a Polish number)

Impala Fruit issues a warning against this company, and declares it is prepared to give further information on this. FreshPlaza has no liability regarding the data given above. These reports are posted outside FreshPlaza's responsibility, which is why the name of the report's sender is always given.
