419 scam emails from Vic Biz (Nigeria)
Vic Biz Cyber Cafe in 7 Akpakpava street, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria is the headquarters of a fraud gang run by Akin Aruloye and his brother Uyi Aruloye. It is the source of numerous scam emails, yet the Nigerian police does not dare touch them. The Aruloye brothers were sending victims to a check scammer based in Canada named Nosakhare Collins Aghayere (aka - Nosa Collins). Nosa was finally arrested by the Canadian police in the spring of 2007. Further arrests took place in Japan in the summer of that year. Since July 2004 we received fraudulent job offer spams that were part of a check fraud scheme run by criminals in Nigerian posing as various Chinese businesses. Respondents allowing themselves to be recruited were sent fake cashier's checks. When the new "employees" thought they were forwarding a payment by a customer to their employer they were really wiring their own funds abroad. After we received a tip-off about the Nigerian internet cafe from which this scam seems to originate, our website was visited from IP address 216.139.176.61, the IP address adjacent to 216.139.176.60 from which the job offer scams emails were sent. More recently the scam emails are sent via 216.139.176.62, which may be a proxy. On this page we will document further scams originating from the same source.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give also to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of (Twenty million five hundred thousand u.s dollars) that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this consignment and dispatched it to charity organizations. I have set aside 15% for you,then 5% for any expenses insured. God be with you. SALIM IBRAHIM NOTE: please my friend, becuase of security reasons kindly respond back to me via my most confidential email box [email protected] I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.

CMIEC is a label used by the Aruloyo brothers / Vic Biz gang. In addition, [email protected] was also used from 216.139.176.60, which is one of the Vic Biz IP addresses on QKON30. Therefore we conclude that QKON17 is probably also a Vic Biz net range.
