ALL SUSPENDED. Some of these were freshly registered in November 2018 (That's going to hurt, especially if all the brochures and scratch cards have been prepared)

These need to be rated as Misleading / Unethical, Potentially Illegal / Scam.

The review should name and shame the Malaysian registrar, WebNIC / WEBCC who refuse to suspend them despite several requests with copies of press articles, government advisories to citizens, etc.

* * * FAKE FINANCE COMPANIES * * *

Each brochure and scratch card thanks a "Platinum Sponsor" - supposedly a Hong Kong finance company. There are a large number of these fake sponsor companies, with domain names registered with registrars who accept payment for the registration service. The domain names correspond to a credible looking web site, all following a similar pattern. They exist solely to try to lend credibility to the 16th Anniversary Malaysian Travel scratch card fraud. The finance companies in fact do not exist. A list of fake domains fitting this category, together with the crime sponsoring registrar is shown. They were live in July 2019:

3. Red Sunshine Tour redsunshinetour.com
Fraud Report
I have received a coloured brochure, two scratch tickets one saying Thankyou, and one saying I had won USD$220,000. from a Malaysian company called Red Sunshine Tour. I contacted them and they asked that I send photos of the front and back of the ticket, together with the front of the envelope it was sent in. Someone from the claims department said they would contact me on Monday. I fully expect that they willl ask me for money to send it which they won’t be getting.. would be nice to win, but I guess not meant to be.

4. Red Maple Holiday redmapleholiday.com
Fraud Report
Received a glossy pamphlet in the mail today from Red Maple Holiday. 16th Anniversary Scratch and Win. Two scratches. One says Thank You and the other - 2nd Prize USD 220,000. Even listed Brother, Trivago and others as official partners etc. Obviously another scam from Malaysia.
