Registration Page At TelexMOB Triggers ‘Web Forgery’ Warning In Firefox Browser
Late last night the PP Blog visited the registration page of the emerging and bizarrely named “TelexMOB” scheme, which appears to be targeting victims of the alleged TelexFree Ponzi- and pyramid scheme. Our earlier story is here.
The page now is triggering a “Web Forgery” warning in the Firefox browser. Such warnings may be associated with phishing schemes.
Here is the lion’s share of text from the warning (italics added):
Reported Web Forgery!
This web page at register.telexmob.com has been reported as a web forgery and has been blocked based on your security preferences.
Web forgeries are designed to trick you into revealing personal or financial information by imitating sources you may trust.
Entering any information on this web page may result in identity theft or other fraud.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission declined this morning to comment on TelexMOB. Like TelexFree before it, the emerging scheme appears to be targeting speakers of Portuguese and English.
Promos for TelexMOB already are appearing on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Precisely who is operating the “program” and from where are unknown.
BehindMLM.com reported earlier today that TelexMOB “has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market affiliate membership to the company itself ($60-$1250).”
