As if it isn't miserable enough being English in the modern age, we seem to be a country rotten to the core with scammers and thieves.
What we are seeing below is a cabal of fake fitness and wellbeing companies being used as a platform to defraud people. The premise is very simple:
- Make up a site maintained by some people innocent enough to actually believe they have a real job.
- Charge for access to that content, which presumably some people must pay for, even though you can find much better material for free almost anywhere on the internet.
- Point fake mobile phone delivery scam ads in spam emails at that site and sign people up for a £60 per month subscription instead.
The domain chargetraqing.com is a constant bugbear with their incessant mobile device scams and financial fraud pages. It is the source of all of the mobile phone scams below:

These companies all claim to be about fitness but have exactly the same ridiculous sign-up to browse content set-up for their websites. The coding is identical across all of the sites with exactly the same language choice home page, same sign-up form and the same about us page where they claim to be lots of different companies registered in Scotland and England.
