The scammer has even created a website.
The name in the fraudulent email is:
[email protected]
www.ordentop.com
Please beware!

| So @ordentop.com domain is not legit? | Sep 29, 2023 |
I got contacted By Aleksandra and later by Nicolay with the @ordentop.com domain. How could I tell if they are scammers?

I think you're mistaken.
Frankly, this just confuses the situation further.
Here is the note attached to the Blue Board entry by staff:
"The emails [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. belong to a scammer and should be blocked and reported as spam. Please note the different spelling."
"[email protected]" would not get to the scammer because the domain is correct and the scammer has no access to the ordentop.com email server (unless they have successfully hacked it, which is probably requires more expertise than most spammers possess).
On the other hand, the ordenntop.com domain (note the spelling ordeNNtop.com - two occurrences of the letter "n"!) is not genuine. No website exists at that address, but the scammer has presumably set up a server to receive @ordenntop.com email addresses. They rely on victims not looking closely at the domain name.
And finally, it is hard to sympathise with anybody foolish enough to fall for an offer from a company using a gmail address like "[email protected]" instead of a corporate domain.
Regards,
Dan

Typical scammer tactics. Similar to the phishing "amazoon.com" domain.

I see my post was deleted because of rule 8.
I haven't posted any positive or negative comment. I just posted the email I received and said it was very suspicious.
Besides, the name of the legit agency was disclosed firstly by a staff member, with the exception that the fraudsters are using a double "n" in their email address and a gmail address.

By posting that email, who knows if the real agency could say something about it on this post and clarify any confusion?
Well done!
This will be the last time I post anything about people who pretend to be someone they aren't, steal and use the identity of genuine agencies for scamming.
Anyway, I'll probably stop participating in these forums...
PS: By the way... I haven't been notified on this post removal, as well as I still don't get any notifications from Kudoz such as agrees, discussions, certain questions, etc. ▲ Collapse
