Dear mint3789-ga,

This company is a fraud. I speak from my experience as a former fraud
squad officer with New Scotland Yard and from the evidence supplied
below.

The company calls itself Stim Cell S.R.L.

There is no such company named in the Italian Company register.
http://www.infocamere.it/
Nor is there a report available on it from Dun & Bradstreet, a
business information agency.
http://smallbusiness.dnb.com/credit-reports/comprehensive-insight-plus-detail.asp?bhcd2=1158926192
Nor any entry in the yellow pages.
http://www.infobel.com/teldir/teldir.asp?page=/eng/euro/it

They state they are store based and give the address of Viale Vittorio
Veneto 11, Siena, 53100. This appears to be the address of a hotel and
there?s no sign of a shop in this photograph.

They ask for letters to go to a different address. The address of via
San Donato 17 appears to be that of Santa Maria Vergine Coptic
Orthodox Church. I'm not sure if anything else is at that address.

All emails to stimcellsrl.biz are forwarded to an untraceable yahoo
address: stimcellsrl@yahoo.com)

The domain owner allegedly lives in the US. I suspect that these may
be false details. The details can be found on this link.

A quick search of some of the wording used on the web site reveals
matches with other web fraudulently sites such as tyco-mobile.
?As a buyer, you are the beneficiary of our 5 - step process that postpones?
http://www.tyco-mobile.com/about_us.html
This one is alleged to be a fraud as well.
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff178177.htm

Interestingly the email contact given in the domain name ownership for
Stim Cell is given as tycosltd@aol.com This was obviously linked at
some stage to tyco-mobile and similar names.

These sites list Stim Cell it as a fraud.

Italian language blog discussing fraudulent web sites. One comment on
this site is (translated)
?It knows much swindle to me. .truffa. .truffa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?
http://attentiallupo.computer-idea.it/2006/05/molti_lettori_c.html


Finally the ?company? is trying to find a coder to design a code to
access ebay emails.

?Description
I want a program which will take an input of ebay member id and then
give me the email of that person. I will pay only after testing it. it
may be web based or desktop based.?

I could on much more with additional evidence, but I see no point. It
is a fraud. Do not contact them.

I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is
unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before
rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as
soon as I receive it.
Thank you
