I would like to know if http://ausielindo.com/  if this company is
real to do business with or is just another scam site like
http://www.mecrotek.com

Dear ar032,

Ausielindo is a scam. I checked the Singapore database of registered
companies for their name, but no company of that name exists in
Singapore.

Note that they seem not even to know what their own company's name is:
On their website, I found the variants "Ausielindo", "Ausialindo" and
"Ausie Lindo". This shows how careless the scammers were when they
made their fraudulent website.

The company "Compas Enterprise", mentioned on the "info address" page,
does not exist in Singaporte either.

I also checked the ownership record of their domain. This is the result:

Mary Julie Bowman
PO Box 99800
EmeryVille, CA 94662
US

The Emeryville address is revealing: It shows that the domain was
registered through an anoymizing service offered by Yahoo under the
name "Yahoo! Private Domain Registration". Only registrations done
through that service have that P.O. Box address. It is a fact that
reputable companies have no reason to conceal their identities and
actual locations. Only the owner's name remains unchanged, but nothing
is easier than to register a domain with a fake name. Only fraudsters
have reason to hide behind a such mask, because they don't want to be
tracked by their victims.

The domain was registered only on 9 October 2005 and will already
expire on 9 October 2006. That is typical for frauds: Scammers use
"disposable" domains that will simply be abandoned once they are not
of use any longer.

And there is more. I found this company profile Ausielindo posted at
EC21, a business-to-business marketplace where anyone can pretend to
be a company:
http://bestlaptop.en.ec21.com/company_info.html

Note that "Compas Enterprise" suddenly became "Kompass Enterprise".
Employees of a real company would certainly know what their company's
name is. But there are other interesting details in that profile:

- They claim to have the impressive annual revenue of "USD 5,000,001 -
10,000,000". And yet they have auch a primitive website? This is
absolutely unrealistic.

- They claim to be in business since 2002. But why would a company
wait three years before registering their name as their domain? I'd
say that this "company" is no older than their pathetic website.

- The claim that their address is Simlim Square BB 4 SG, 320384
Singapore. But Sim Lim Square in Singapore is not a street - it's the
name of a huge electronics shopping center. The correct postal code of
that shopping center is 188504. The postal code 320384 does not even
exist in Singapore, neither does the postal code 908833.

Finally, the only payment methods they accept are telegraphic transfer
and wire transfer - which is typical for fraudsters, since the victims
can neither call back the money, nor can they ever trace who actually
received the money. Reputable companies offer better, safer payment
options.

Ausielindo is clearly a scam. I advise not to do any business with them.

Regards,
Scriptor
