My deceased mother has just received another of these "You have Won" scams (Code WU05) from Olivia Roy.
I notice that Olivia Roy is now a Trademark of "Star Winner Solutions SA". In my logs, I've got a note that on 16 Feb 2004, a mailshot was received from "Olivia Roy" with a return address of "c/o Eva Lorca, BP, 1000 Lausanne 30".
The return address this time is "PO Box 58397, 1040 HJ Amsterdam". My logs also show this as the return address for: CIVPI (+Jean Sylvaint, Madja), Michelle Alby (TradeMark of Alpen), Miss Elizabeth,Tina Farel.
Who/what is this "Star Winner Solutions SA" that has suddenly cropped up? And who is the company that is actually behind all these "You have won" scams. ie who is the Holding company for Alpen, Star Winner Solutions, etc?
(I used to work as the computer dept for a mail order retail company years ago. There was one main holding company that had bought up other companies and used them as trading arms. Each of those trading arms had one or more "brands". These scams remind me very much of this structure: the brands "Olivia Roy", "Esther Laine", etc; trading arms "Star Winner Solutions", "Eva Lorca", etc. All the "You have won" scams are of the same style which leads me to ask: the main holding company (behind the whole pyramid): <any idea?>.)
