This will be a pretty long report. I want to fit in all the information that I have so anybody reading this can hopefully gets a heads up about this company or another company like it. Cause I don't assume InfoTech Systems is the only company name they operate under. I will be link lots of stuff, I will link all the training task I was sent. In hopes that if people google them they will be directed to this post to get a heads up.

Here is some of the referrence material I used to get the IP address and to find out where they were located. So you to can use them if you are wondering if company is this company.

This site has a How To on getting the IP Address and email was sent from:

http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-track-the-original-location-of-an-email-via-its-ip-address/

This Site can be used to look up where that IP Address comes from:

http://cqcounter.com/whois/

This is the site for report scams to the FBI:

http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

I think those are probably the top 3 sites I used to get information and report it. Other then ripoffreport.com of course.


On 8/31/10 I was emailed a letter stating a company (InfoTech Systems) would like to interview based on review my application through my local State job search site. The letter stated Dear Applicant which I thought I don't remember applying to this company, but I had applied to so many maybe I forgot I applied here.

This is the first email I received from them. It came from a Chris Brown (I assume this is a hacked email account) at july09benefitsonline.Edited Out, his IP address is 10.231.84.204. Which I was able to trace to:

 OrgName:

Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
OrgID:

IANA
Address:

4676 Admiralty Way, Suite 330
City:

Marina Del Rey
State Prov: CA Postal Code: 90292-6695 Country:

US
This was the only email I received from this IP address and email address. Below is the Email.

From: Chris Brown (july09benefitsonline@Edited Out)

A few minutes later (sent at 6:31PM Tues 8/31/10) I received the same email from Infotech Systems admin@Edited Out The IP Address for this is 41.155.49.158, which I was also able to trace and it shows up as Nigeria.

If you read through it and look at some of the time stamps you can see if took this dude a really long time to answer sometimes. Which I kinda just chalked up to being at work while interviewing.

This email and all the emails since that I have received from this company since have come from Brian Ronald br.infotech@Edited Out, with the IP Address of 41.155.38.115. Again from Nigeria also from the same person, Catalin Miclaus shows to be the account holder for that IP Address on site I used to look it up.

So 09/02/10 I started my first day of training with InfoTech System, Brian Ronald was the person that interviewed me and he was also my trainer for this. I will link below the IM chat for that day aswell as the training material I was emailed.

First here is the training email to use as a reference on the IM log.
