Malaysian Travel Scratch Card fraud
This fraud has been running for over 9 years. It uses over 400 web sites to lend credibility to their mail campaigns.
It runs an "Advanced Fee Fraud" pretending the victim has won a large 2nd prize of $220,000, then asking the victim to pay a tax of 1.5% in advance.
Once the victim pays $3,300 the scam is complete, and the victim will never see the prize money.
The Royal Selangor Hotel in Malaysia has revealed that this is a fraud.
The scratch cards that come with this fraud lists some sponsors. One of those is the Royal Selangor in Malaysia. In 2018 The Royal Selangor has responded with this information:
We've recently received multiple complains and confirmation regarding some scratch and win card offered by multiple travel agency and an investigation is currently ongoing at the moment regarding this.
Be assured that Royal Selangor is not involved in any scratch and win activities nor in any way involved in any of these activities. Kindly ignore all these scratch and win contests and DO NOT ever provide any form of information to them.
This scratch card fraud was detected on the street in Malaysia in 2015, as shown in a press report in The Star, Malaysia
From there it became more sophisticated, using hundreds of similar travel brochure web sites. Each site currently has a reference to a "16th Anniversary Promotion" (in previous years the 10th Anniversary or 12th Anniversary or 15th Anniversary). Once the fake web site is set up, the perpetrators print off thousands of glossy brochures based on the web site name, a fake sponsoring finance company name, two unique Malaysian phone contact numbers, and two scratch cards. One of the scratch cards wins no prize, but the other reveals that the holder has won a prize, typically second prize of US $220,000. The aim of this fraud is to appear credible. The brochure lists the web site URL, so a victim can load it to see if it exists. Also there will be a web site for the fake "platinum" sponsor.
The brochure also has country-specific information.
For New Zealand:
This year we have invested USD 5 million on the establishment of a new 5 star hotel with a new adventure theme park in New Zealand.
For Australia:
This year we have invested USD 5 million on the establishment of a new 5 star hotel with a new adventure theme park in Australia.
This is a false claim.
They also reference in the brochure a sponsor e.g. Sabrina & Rachel Holdings for sponsoring the first, second and third prizes.
{Fake travel company name} would like to thanks our platinum sponsor {fake finance company name} for sponsoring the first, second and third prizes.
This prize sponsor is supposedly a Hong Kong investment company. However, their web site is hosted in Kuala Lumpur, and the domain name was registered on August 20 2018. This is just one of over 100 "...holdings" domain names and web sites with similar characteristics hosted on the same Malaysian IP addresses. For example
aikenadneyholdings.com (suspended by OnlineNIC) copenhagenholdings.com (suspended by OnlineNIC) kaylabenholdings.com (suspended by OnlineNIC) oliviaowenholdings.com (suspended by OnlineNIC) sabrinakyleholdings.com (Suspended by PDR) sabrinarachelholdings.com (suspended by PDR) sharonjacksonholdings.com (suspoended by NetEarth) stevenmaryholdings.com (suspoended by NetEarth) summersamuelholdings.com (Suspended by PDR) susanromeoholdings.com (suspoended by NetEarth) talishareaganholdings.com (Suspended by PDR)
It is obvious that this prize sponsor is just another fake company, part of the fraud to try to lend credibility to this scam. The fake finance company sites were registered with the same registrars as the travel sites, namely PDR, NetEarth One, Web Werks, Online Nic, WEBCC. Each finance company has a custom designed logo to enhance the credibility.
Fingerprints
Historical information How can you tell if a web site is a member of the Travel frauds?
Historical information:
The fake travel sites used to have some distinctive features that could be used to prove it is one used in this fraud.
- "15th Anniversary Promotional Event"
- "16th Anniversary Promotional Event"
- "18th Anniversary Promotional Event"
This was on the front page in a pic_001.jpg image.
- "16TH ANNIVERSARY PROMOTIONAL EVENT"
with a link "Contact us for more information". This loaded a URL with "/anniversary.html"
- Menu tab contained "Promotions"
Selecting this tab used to produce a pull-down
16th Anniversary Promotional Event General Information 1. These terms and conditions, together with the terms and conditions that are specific to any Competition (as defined below) (the 'Competition Terms') are known as the 'Rules'. Words used in the Competition Terms shall have the same meaning when used here. In the event of any conflict between the Competition Terms and the Standard Terms, the Competition Terms shall prevail.
etc
Upon discovering that their finger-print had become too well known, they removed the incriminating evidence.
Nevertheless they are still running the same sophisticated operation
- fake travel company sites
- fake sponsor sites
- customized brochures
- fake scratch cards
- help desk that responds to the phone call and negotiates the advance fee
- help desk to handle email from the victims for each travel domain
- fake company address supposedly located in a floor space in a large multi-story Malaysian building

IP Addresses
By June 2018 all sites were located on Cloudflare addresses in the range 104.18.36.73 to 104.31.93.202. Why Cloudflare? They provide a reverse proxy, pass-through security service. They do not provide a hosting service. The actual IP address is therefore obscured, allowing the fraudster to hide the hosting site. Cloudflare is being used as a barrier to hide behind.
