Job Scam: ifxtrade.net
I haven't investigated this as deeply as I might, because the scammers in this case haven't set up their website properly. It probably works in Internet Explorer, but I never use it. Anyway, I received job offer spam from 69.95.28.41 (host-69-95-28-41.roc.choiceone.net.; WHOIS claims location is Williamsville, NY, USA) on Wed, 15 Jun 2005 05:44:41 +0000. The spam is as follows.

The defanged hyperlink actually pointed to http://www.ifxtrade.net/normalpage.asp@page=92, for what it matters. The entire site appears to be a rip-off of http://www.ifxonline.net/. Apparently this has happened before, with the domain "ifxtrading.net", and they aren't happy about it. It's not clear whether they know about the new rip-off, though, so I've sent them a note about it. The WHOIS record for the rogue site, "ifxtrade.net", says it was created on 2004-12-24.
