Type of a scam Scholarship

8rental.com is a website set up by cybercriminals from Moldova. Deliberately deceiving clients and carriers they advertise themselves on the Internet as a “giant” of the European transport industry. They claim to be in operation for over 10 years and have 500 employees while in reality, it is a recently (2016) created website with fake identities, no legal information, no fleet or any other assets.

They organized a scam to involve unsuspecting students in US colleges and universities to write articles for their website. Under the disguise of a European transport giant, they have been advertising fake scholarships since 2017. All the happy winners' profiles from their website are fake.

Here is the list of universities where the students became victims of fake scholarships:

-Washington State University;

-University of Massachusetts Amherst;

-Central Piedmont Community College;

-Eastern Kentucky University (the link still exists among the specific scholarships here: https://scholarships.eku.edu/finding-scholarships-online )

Type of a scam Travel/Vacations

8rental.com is a fake company.

There is no such a company in UK or elsewhere in Europe legally registered. There is only a fraudulent website registered by individuals from Moldova pretending to be a « European giant » in passenger transport misleading hundreds of clients. By means of fake scholarships at different US university platforms they are boosting their site activity with student interest to the site page, creating additional internet traffic and using students' essays for their site content.

Pretending to be an international transport reservation system they attract the clients by low prices, ask their clients to pay a deposit by credit cards on their site but the service in many cases is cancelled before the arrival date with no deposit money return. Sometimes the service is organized but you are never guaranteed and your credit card number is no more secure.

In some countries like in France they work with fraudulent providers who after service overcharge foreign clients credit cards.(https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187221-d7802476-Reviews-Ri...⇄ />
They put a fake UK address on Google information page but in fact there is no such a company registered at this address. And no such a company registered in the UK. You can check on the website of the UK House of companies.

Unfortunately, it's very difficult to stop such a scam activity in the internet. All the information about the real persons behind is thoroughly hidden. The domain name 8rental is registered on the name of another site (easytour7.com) which is registered on a fake name with IP from Moldova.

The persons who promote the site creating dozens of fake internet users for posting excellent reviews (mostly from « americans ») are moldovan scammers.

Domain 8rental.com is owned by another site (easytour7.com) whish doesn't exist
