Remember the phone number +447451287765 used with CashQuickPay on cashquickpay.com and directfcm.net to steal money from victims searching for a loan?
It is also used on a website pretending to be Osawe International Football Academy, trying to steal money from kids dreaming to become professional football players.
The scammers stole the name from Osayamen Osawe, Nigerian professional footballer. The real Osawe has nothing in common with this so called "academy".
Also, the scammers stole the content from Soccer Interaction, a Spanish website.
From the fake website:
