The "company representative" scam - check fraud by Nigerian gangs

Introduction

We have received some many unsolicited emails from companies, often claiming to be in China, looking for representatives to establish a business presence in other countries and for transferring payments. Recipients of such mails are typically promised 10% of those payments from customers. In reality, this is a check fraud scam that can work on a massive scale, causing damages from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In some cases, names of legitimate companies are abused for the scam. In other cases no real company by that name exists.

The scammers are not Chinese (or even Asian) but Nigerian. They mail their "representatives" fake checks from "customers" to deposit in their personal or business accounts. Often these are written on blank check forms stolen from legitimate businesses. Provided the business whose check is abused has sufficient funds in its account, the check will initially clear (it will usually only bounce when the business receives the deposited check that it never wrote). When the check clears the "representatives" wire the amount to a bank account in another country, such as Japan, Taiwan, China, the Netherlands or the UK. By the time the fake check bounces (which can take a month), the money is already out of the country and the representative is left to pick up the losses, often tens of thousands of dollars.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: All names of companies and individuals listed on this page are fake. The criminals either abuse names of legitimate companies or persons or they invent names. All of the existing companies whose names appear on this page (e.g. CMIEC, Shipro Kasei) are victims of the criminals and are not connected in any way to the illegal activity committed in their name.

If you have been recruited or if you have examples of such spam not listed here then please contact us.

If you have a few minutes, here is a little extra that you can do to help us:

  • Create a free account at Yahoo.com or Yahoo.ca under an assumed name
  • Start composing a new message in Yahoo.
  • Click "reply" in your email program. Copy and paste the quoted spam text into the new message window in Yahoo, as if you had received the message in the Yahoo account. Add some text at the beginning to express your interest in the offer.
  • If a specific address is listed as a contact address in the spam then address the message to that email account instead of the spam sender address.
  • Click "Send".
  • It typically takes a day or two to get a reply. Once you get a reply in your new Yahoo account, click on the arrow on the right hand side of the "Forward" button and select "as attachment". Mark the subject
    [419] rep scam company name
    and send it to 419@419scam.org.

Thank you!

A superficially similar scam is run by Eastern European organized crime rings, who move money from eBay fraud or phishing scams.

In the United States this type of crime is investigated by the Secret Service.

Here's what immediately caught my eye:
  1. The sender address uses a free web mail provider. For less than $35 you can register your own domain. Which serious company wouldn't?
  2. No company address is given.
  3. These guys harvested addresses off websites. We know, because we received two copies of this mail, one to a currently unused email address still mentioned on one of our sites, the other from another of our sites. Both sites are closely linked, making it highly probable that address harvesters that visit one soon sweep the other.
Why would any company transfer payments through a third party, when they can open a bank account or use direct wire transfers? This doesn't make sense. If you perform a Google search for some phrases, you end of with numerous hits, some of which point directly at Nigerian scammers: Here is another version with full mail headers which reveal the real source of these spams:

The Vic Biz tip-off
As you can see, the above emails were sent from Nigeria. We were curious about what kind of business "Vic Biz" is, until we came across the following tip-off:

Subject: Scammer Liu Peijin

The Chinese scammer stealing money from so many people over the internet is 
really a Nigerian from Benin City in Edo State Nigeria, by the name of Uyi 
Aruloye who does these scams with the help of his Brother Nosa Aruloye. They do 
it from thier gang headquarters in Vic Biz Cyber Cafe in Benin City and they 
work for a Nigerian Monster in the Netherlands called Rafiu Otono. They are 
currently having their victims send the money from their counterfeit checks to a 
Bank in Japan:
 Bank Name:Chiba Kogyo Bank.
Branch: Narashino branch
Bank Code: 440
Bank Acct #: 1003430
Bank Address : Narashino Shi Okubo 4-1-22
Swift code : CHIKJPJP
Bank Tel # 047-472-7111
Beneficiary:M.F System
"Lui Peijin" emails:

Vic Biz is watching this page!
See the following logs from our website for some revealing Google searches performed at Vic Biz (IP address 216.139.176.61) that caused them to visit this page on 2005-01-24. As a result of that we received the following mail.

Email from "Barrister Andrew Alade", a "legal silicitor" according to his email address, on behalf of the Otono family (2005-04-05):

Hello, 

A relative of Rafiu Otono happens to be one of my Clients and the said 
person has his name related to scam issues in your site. This is an 
issue that has just come to my knowledge and i would like to have a 
concrete information on the issue. 

Now if at all this Rafiu is related, i would like a proof of his 
relationship with the said crime as i know that a corporation with 
your integrity will not post implicating files on-line without a prove 
of those crimes. I have been assigned by my client to investigate on 
the issue. I will be of immense help in providing any valuable document 
in my possession to you.

Please, your reply is earnestly expected as this issue has eaten deep 
into the family of my Client.

Sincerely,

Barrister Alade

The sender address of this Rafiu Otono "lawyer" email is very interesting, because it is quite close to IP address 192.116.119.135 which was the source of the Benson Philips / WBC representative scam, it came from the same provider.

Two months later we got some hate mail from Nigeria. That email arrived from IP 195.166.240.195, which was used by the "huamao_botero@msn.com" rep scam, adjacent to IP 195.166.240.195 which was the source for "huamaoarts_craft@unshawmail.net" and "info@wbc-importexportcompany.net", another "WBC" themed rep scam.

Your Ref:2810/04/TF-WBC

First I must thank you for picking up the consideration to be our agent via our costumers who are already and able to pay some of our outstanding bills.

Surprise to say that your role in this endeavour is to serve as our agent to get to our customers who has been indebted to us over a considerable lenght of time and help stand as an agent through which they will make such payments to us.

Your reward for helping us collect such an outstanding debt will be 5% of whatever money that is being paid to our Company through your Account.

You will be given adequate coordinates and banking instructions through which you will remit our balance 95% from your Account to us.

Please be advised that we will have to begin the necessary process of approving you as our agent/partner on our receipt of your understanding, transparency, honesty and your sincere abilities.

The main reason why we are sourcing for your help as our Agent is because we are currently having tax problems with the government and as a result all our Company Accounts worldwide are under strict watch and scrutiny, based on an unecessarily high progressive taxation rate which is politically motivated by masterminds in the government which our Company has fallen out of favour with.

On our receipt of your understanding/mail we will need some vital information from you that will enable us legitimise the process of this transaction, by drafting a Power of Appointment creating an Agency for the relationship of a Principal and Agent, also stating your benefits by way of Fiduciary gains or commission for your Fiduciary services.

Please send down the needed information;
Company name as a legal entity or your personal name acting in your personal capacity in the eyes of the law.

Contact Address, email address and tel/fax numbers.
Age, occupation and position in the Company (if you belong to a company).
A valid mode of Identification (e.g Drivers License, passport etc.) to this email id.

We will inform you on the next step to follow as regards our approval for you to be our representative, upon getting the above information from you and will also forward my own valid form of identification to you.

Note: Endeavour to indicate your reference number as above in all of your correspondence with us. I await your immediate response and a customer will soon make payment through you to us.

Thanks in advance.

This company claims to be based in Sapporo, but the phone number listed is a Tokyo number. The real Shipro Kasei Kaisha, Ltd. (http://www.shipro.co.jp) is a legitimate company based in Osaka and it has no connection to the scam, as you can see from this FRAUDULENT EMAILS ALERT on their website. The criminals actually made a copy of the real company's website (http://www.shiraishikasei.com) for another version of this scam:

"Yoshimori Tada, Shiraishi Kasei Ltd"

Shiraishi is the surname of the president of Shipro Kasei Kaisha Ltd., a legitimate Japanese chemical company whose name was abused by the criminals for this scam (see disclaimer).

The registration details provide interesting information. First of course they show this website is not linked to any Japanese company - the address listed is in the Netherlands, where Nigerian mobster Rafiu Otono is based, the man handling the setup of bank account in the Far East for this scam. The second interesting fact is the link to the Barnby lottery scam / "Icegld.com" (Ice Gold) scam:
