Both websites contain numerous indications of scam.

First we have their registrations:

Domain Name: EARLY-DEX.COM
Registrar: DIRECTI INTERNET SOLUTIONS PVT. LTD. D/B/A PUBLICDOMAINREGISTRY.COM
Whois Server: whois.PublicDomainRegistry.com
Referral URL: http://www.PublicDomainRegistry.com
Name Server: NS123.DARRELCONCEPTSGHANA.COM
Name Server: NS125.DARRELCONCEPTSGHANA.COM
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Updated Date: 20-oct-2011
Creation Date: 20-oct-2011
Expiration Date: 20-oct-2012
Registrant:
PrivacyProtect.org
Domain Admin ([email protected])


So earlydex is 1 month old, and the registration data is hidden. If it belonged to a legitimate shipping company, there would be no need to hide the registration information.

Domain Name: ALCARTS66.COM
Registrar: DIRECTI INTERNET SOLUTIONS PVT. LTD. D/B/A PUBLICDOMAINREGISTRY.COM
Whois Server: whois.PublicDomainRegistry.com
Referral URL: http://www.PublicDomainRegistry.com
Name Server: BIZ1.DARRELCONCEPTSGHANA.COM
Name Server: BIZ2.DARRELCONCEPTSGHANA.COM
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Updated Date: 07-may-2011
Creation Date: 05-may-2011
Expiration Date: 05-may-2012

So Alcarts66 is 6 months old, again only registered for a year.

Both domains were registered through:
Registration Service Provided By: DARREL TECHNOLOGIES
Contact: +233.244528251
Website: http://www.darrelconceptsghana.com


Chances of a legitimate shipping company in UK registering its domain through Ghana are almost zero.

In addition, the address is a multi-story building. Legitimate addresses would include at a minimum a floor number, and possibly an office or suite number.

The phone number shows this info:
Original network provider* Magrathea Telecommunications Limited

This company provides many phone options, like redirect phone numbers that don't require the owner actually be in the country.

This phrase from the early-dex website: "Our state-of-the art technology provides you with the option to outsource all or any portion of your supply chain to us"
was actually copied from a legitimate website that has been in existence since 2005: http://www.landstar.com/

I could go further, but at this point, it's already clear these are fakes.

Will be down in approx 24 hrs - Michael
