The websites: "cartpayinc.com" and "cartpaysolutions.com" with the tagline: "CartPay - Payment simplified," are fraudulent, and were created by scammers to steal their victims’ personal information, financial information and money. The websites which claim they are a US based card processing company that offer simple and reliable merchant solution, do not have simple website security called SSL, which is required by all e-commerce websites, especially websites that deal with credit card, debit card, net banking and other prepaid card payment processing. SSL security is used to protect sensitive information that is transmitted over internet by encrypting it, so if it is intercepted by cyber-criminals they will not be able to make sense of it.
The Fraudulent Websites: "cartpayinc.com" and "cartpaysolutions.com"
The websites have the following phone number listed, which we do not recommend calling:
- USA +1-888-8832856
- INDIA +91-8099506800
- UK +44-800-088-5568
The fraudulent websites will send the following email message to their potential victims:
