419 Scam – "WORLD WIDE CASH CHANGE LTD / PRESTIGIUOS LOTTERY U.K / Gary Blackwell" (Nigeria)

"WORLD WIDE CASH CHANGE LTD" is the fake identity used by one Nigerian gang of advance fee fraud ("419") scammers operating in Nigeria, Benin and the United Kingdom. They ask you to send them £4,670 for processing a non-existent lottery win. It's a fraud. (see one example scam email here). Emails signed by "Gary Blackwell" are actually sent from computers in Nigeria and Benin (a small country right next to Nigeria, where the same Yoruba language is spoken). The scam is linked to a company called "GDOTBEN" and an individual named "JUBRIL OMOZOZO".

The four scam operations "HERITAGE FINANCE LTD / NATIONWIDE LOTTO UK", "WORLD WIDE CASH CHANGE / PRESTIGIOUS LOTTO UK", "SOUTHTRUST INVESTMENT PTY. / GOLDEN REEF LOTTERY" and "CASHFLO FINANCIAL SERVICES LTD / IMPERIAL LOTTERY UK" are probably closely related. The first three scams use websites of fake security companies, email from which is sent from Nigeria. They all send similarly worded money demands involving Word documents. The forth scam operation, "CASHFLO FINANCIAL SERVICES LTD / IMPERIAL LOTTERY UK" uses a domain registered with very similar details to the ones used by the "WORLD WIDE CASH CHANGE / PRESTIGIOUS LOTTO UK" scam.

Links to similar scams
This scam is appears closely related to the "HERITAGE FINANCE LTD / DENNIS HAMMOND" scam. Just compare the wording of the scam emails, such as the reasons for the charge. The amount of £4670 demanded of the victims is exactly £1000 more than the amount requested by "Dennis Hammond". Both scams involve websites of fake lotteries and fake claims agents. Most 419 scams don't bother with that and charge much smaller amounts. Both fake lottery sites come complete with internet scam warnings. Domain world-widecashchange.net (hosted by MSN) was registered on 2004-11-07, one day after www.heritagefinanceltd-uk.com (also hosted by MSN), which was registered on 2004-11-06. We strongly suspect that both scams are run by the same people.

The attached "Invoice.doc" lists "System12" as the author and "GDOTBEN COMMUNICATION LTD" as the company that created the file. Acccording to an entry at businesspatrol.com, this is a company in Nigeria whose director is a Mr. JUBRIL OMOZOZO.

We wonder if "GDOTBEN" means "G . Benin", as in Nigeria's western neighbour country, because "MR. GARY BLACKWELL" is also sending emails from IP address 212.199.108.234 in an address range named "Gilat-ISP-Benin1", which appears to be in Benin, West Africa. We are not sure what the "G" stands for.

This Western Union money demand was forwarded to us on 2005-01-24:

Dear Prize Winner,
Thanks for your prompt response, our accounts department has verified your 
claims form and you can now go ahead and make the payment of the processing 
fees.
However I insist you make the payment via telegraphic transfer, as we do not 
accept demand draft as means of payment of the processing fees.
Also if it is possible to make the payment of the fees via western union 
money transfer that would be very much preferable find details of our 
account officer who you can make payment of the fees to via western union 
money transfer.
Name of receiver: Mr. Thomas Houser.
Address of receiver: 40 GROSVENOR SQUARE
                     W1A 1AE LONDON
                     UNITED KINGDOM
In the event of this method of payment been unavailable in your country, 
stick to the telegraphic transfer and make the payment of the fees on 
Tuesday and send immediately the receipt of payment of the processing fees.
Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

Truly yours,
MR. GARY BLACKWELL

Sending network (IP address 212.199.108.234 and 212.199.108.236):

Gilat-ISP-Benin1 is the name of an address range assigned to African customers of satellite provider Golden Lines (Petach-Tiikva, Israel).

Initially we weren't sure if "Benin" really referred to the country of Benin or if it was a reference to Benin City in Edo state, Nigeria. However, since there are other Golden Lines address ranges called Gilat-ISP-Nigeria1, Gilat-ISP-Zimbabew1 and Gilat-ISP-Mozamibque, it seems most likely that the name does refer to the country.
