ZikTrust Global Express review: Transportation service 5

The warning applies to all "companies" that call themselves "ZIKTRUST".

There is no record of any "ZIKTRUST" company in the UK government database of registered companies:

https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/search?q=ZIKTRUST

Which means the following website companies are not actually companies:

- ZIKTRUST GLOBAL EXPRESS - https://ziktrustglobalcourier.com/

- ZIKTRUST GLOBAL COURIER or ZIKTRUST GLOBAL COMPANY - https://ziktrustglobalcompany.com/

The alleged US company "ZIKTRUST GLOBAL EXPRESS" (https://ziktrustglobal.wixsite.com/ziktrust) is also a fake. Ask them about the number and place of their company registration, and they fall silent. The company is supposed to be seated in San Francisco, US. However, the address (500 Terry Francois Street) doesn't exist. There is no 500 Terry Francois Street in San Francisco. There is a 500 Terry Francois Boulevard, and there is a place with the number 500. However, there is no company called "Ziktrust" there according to Google Maps.

The leaves ZIKTRUST LOGISTIC EXPRESS, located in Chicago, USA, phone number +[protected], website https://ziktrustlogisticexpress.com/. I have contacted them asking if they have are in any way connected to ZIKTRUST GLOBAL EXPRESS. No answer so far.

"ZIKTRUST LOGISTIC EXPRESS", website https://ziktrustlogisticexpress.com/, allegedly seated in Chicago (no address provided), is almost certainly also a fake. I asked them several times on their phone and in their chat function whether the are related to "ZIKTRUST GLOBAL XPRESS", the other "company" of the "ZIKTRUST" group in the US. No answer.

So "ZIKTRUST" deserves zilch trust. Whatever it is you want to send or receive, never trust them.

Apparently there's another "company" related to the "ZIKTRUST" fraud. It calls itself "CIVAL LOGISTICS" (https://civalogistic.com/about-us/). The gallery of the "company"'s "Board of Directors" shows the same photos that are featured on https://ziktrustglobalcourier.com/our-people.html (all taken from somewhere on the internet of course), with slightly different names and job descriptions:

ZIKTRUST GLOBAL EXPRESS: "John Doe, CEO". CIVAL LOGISTICS: "Tom Walker, President Director".

ZIKTRUST GLOBAL EXPRESS: "David Schenken, Manager". CIVAL LOGISTICS: "David Schenken, Manager".

ZIKTRUST GLOBAL EXPRESS: "Lonnie Radzinsky, Accountant". CIVAL LOGISTICS: "Lonnie Radzinsky

Finance Director".

"Lonnie Radzinsky", the charming young lady who is the "Accountant" of "ZIKTRUST GLOBAL EXPRESS" (https://ziktrustglobalcourier.com) and the "Finance Director" of "CIVAL LOGISTICS" (https://civalogistic.com/about-us/) at the same time, is even more versatile than this double function would suggest. She is also the "Accountant" of

1. "Ventum Global Logistics" (https://ventum-global-logistics.com/about-us/our-people/),

2. "Botch Pty Ltd." (https://botch.com.au/about-us/our-people/),

3. "Worldwide Express Shippers" (https://worldwidexpressshippers.com/our-people/)

4. "Cosco Line" (https://www.cosco-line.com/our-people.html)

5. "FastCargo Express" (https://fastcargoexpressdiplomatic.com/our-people)

6. "Private Express Delivery" (http://pexpressdelivery.com/our-people.html)

7. "Equity Couriers" (https://equitycouriers.com/about-us/our-people/)

8. "Swift Direct Cargos" (https://www.swiftdirectcargos.com/our-people.html)

9. "World Cargo Diplomatic Delivery" (https://worldcargodiplomaticdelivery.com/our-people)

10. "Fast Above Cargo Delivery Service Inc" (https://fastabovecargos.com/our-people.html)

11. "Express Global" (https://www.expresglobal.co.uk/our-people)

12. "Swift Delivery and Logistics 24/7" (https://swiftdeliveryandlogistics247.com/our-people.html)

13. "Safe Express Global" (https://www.safe-expressglobal.com/our-people.html)

14. "Iplus Courier" (https://ipluscourier.com/our-people)

15. "Oceanic Prime Delivery Company" (https://oceanicexpdelivery.com/about-us/our-people/),

and so on.

Poor "Lonnie", she must be working 24/7. I hope her colleagues, "John Doe" (CEO) and "David Shenken" (Manager), who usually appear by her side, work as hard as she does.

Below is a list of fraudulent shipping non-companies I identified so far.

The locations were obtained by inserting the website URL in the DNS Lookup search engine under https://www.whatismyip.com/dns-lookup/. The search yields the IP address, and clicking on the IP address yields the IP address's location.

Judging by the IP addresses, these fraudulent organizations are clustered in two places in the US: Atlanta, Georgia and San Francisco, California, with most of the IP addresses being from Atlanta.

Another thing these "companies" have in common are the photos and job descriptions of their staff.

Usually it's the stock photos of "John Doe, CEO" (sometimes "Tom Walker, President Director"), "David Schenken, Manager" ("Vladimir Castro" in one case) and "Lonnie Radzinsky, Accountant" (at "CIVAL LOGISTICS" she is promoted to "Finance Director", see https://civalogistic.com/about-us/). "ZIKTRUST GLOBAL COURIER" (https://ziktrustglobalcompany.com/about-us/) show different faces "Vena Georgeyo, Chairman", "Philil Burphly, Manager", "Johny Zabrila, Co-ordinator" and "Michal Wincent, Accountant". Of course these are also stock photos, and a search on Google Images (click the camera icon on the right, then upload the image) reveals that these photos, with the same or other names, also show up in the management of a number of other fraudulent "companies". "ZIKTRUST LOGISTICS EXPRESS" (https://ziktrustlogisticexpress.com/about/) shows no management faces but only the helpful smiling faces of three hard-working employees (which I would also expect to find on other websites). "ZIKTRUST GLOBAL XPRESS" (https://ziktrustglobal.wixsite.com/ziktrust) is the only one that shows no faces at all unless I missed something.

Another line of the "Ziktrust" family includes an organization that calls itself "Ziktrust Global Services" or "Ziktrust Global Company" or "Ziktrustglobal Courier" (they can’t make up their minds on the name). Their website is https://ziktrustglobalcompany.com/, IP-address 162.213.251.[protected] Atlanta, Georgia, USA). They obviously love nature, for their head-office is right in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales (https://www.breconbeacons.org/). The dream-team leading this company consists of "Vena Georgeyo, Chairman", "Philil Burphly, Manager", "Johny Zabrila, Co-ordinator" and "Michal Wincent, Accountant" (https://ziktrustglobalcompany.com/about-us/).

If dashing young businesswoman "Lonnie Radzinsky" of "Ziktrust Global Express" et al is versatile beyond belief, mature businesswoman "Vena Georgeyo" is even more so. As Google search for sites where "Vena"’s photo shows up:

https://www.google.com/search?tbs=sbi:AMhZZiscwMBF1chFvaOfa1CnrtucnH0S2LMXcdwdvC45h5Z1GU3DzW-xuWM7k6lIT9e4e4yZfRqzrCd_1RPzrS7NuYBBOOKXY3XBJitUSToo-L5lByqIuPuagnV-YEpq4SdK6botTqKGXAIbm6dwcI6bmdOBLyY3e0A

yields at least 36 fake shipping companies of which she is the "Chairman". The photo also shows up on the websites of other dubious companies, like Özgür Enstelation A.Ş (http://www.ozgurkablo.com/en/about-us.html), where she is "Sunny Vandosky, Quality Checker".

Careful with following the links to these fake company websites. Some of them are reported as insecure.
