Before talking about the fake sites, let's take a look at the person behind this:

Chibueze Okoji Chukwu is a Nigerian who's details was reported for the first time back in 2006, being associated with two fake sites pretending to be banks; alliedbondbk.com impersonating Allied And Bond Bank and fangod.net impersonating First Atlantic Merchant Bank Ghana. Since then, other a 100 domain names were or are associated with his details. Not all the sites associated with his identity are fake, some are built for real businesses in Nigeria, though the ones created, maintained and used for fraud are the majority. These are mostly impersonating banks, couriers and official institutions.

Email addresses used for registering the fake sites:

Subject: I am not a greedy person

I decided to write you this proposal in good faith, believing that you will not betray me.

I have been in search of someone with the same last name of our late customer and close friend of mine (Mr. Richard), hence i

contacted you because both of you bear the same surname and coincidentally from the same country, and i was pushed to contact

you and see how best we can assist each other. Meanwhile I am Mr. John Shao, a reputable banker here in United Kingdom .

On the 15 march 2007, the young millionaire (Mr. Richard),a citizen of your country and crude oil dealer made a fixed deposit

with my bank, valued at US$6,500,000.00 (six million, five hundred thousand US dollars) and the mature date for this deposit

contract was on 30th of November, 2014. But sadly he was among the death victims in the 12 May 2008, earthquake disaster in

china that killed over 65,000 people. Because he with me in china on a business trip and that was how he meet his end.


My bank management is yet to know about his death, but I knew about it because i went china with him and i have his death

certificate as his account relationship officer, and he did not mention any Next of Kin / heir when the account was opened,

because he was not married and no children.

Last week my bank management requested that Mr. Richard should give instructions on what to do about his funds, if to renew

the contract or not.

I know this will happen and that is why i have been looking for a means to handle the situation, because if my bank directors

happens to know that he is dead and do not have any heir, they will take the funds for their personal use, so i don't want

such to happen. That is why i am seeking your co-operation to present you as the Next of Kin / heir to the account, since you

bear same last name with the deceased customer.

There is no risk involved; the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any

breach of law. It is better that we claim the money, than allowing the bank directors to take it, they are rich already. I am

not a greedy person, so i am suggesting we share the funds in this ratio, 50/50%, i.e. Equal.


Let me know your mind on this by sending me your full name, occupation, date of birth, your direct telephone number and

please do treat this information highly confidential.


I wait for your positive response.

With Regards
Mr John Shao
