A US security website has released a video the facebook profiles of some Nigerian Scammers.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They were able to do that because these guys used the same email addresses they used in opening their real facebook profiles in Scamming.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The report was published on <a href="http://krebsonsecurity.com/">http://krebsonsecurity.com/</a></div>

Earlier this week, I wrote about an online data theft service that got hacked. That compromise exposed a user base of mostly young Nigerian men apparently engaged in an array of cybercrime activities — from online dating scams to 419 schemes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It turned out that many of these guys signed up for the data theft service using the same email address they used to register their Facebook accounts. Today’s post looks at the social networks between and among these individuals.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Of the nearly 3,000 BestRecovery users, about 280 of them had Facebook accounts tied to their BestRecovery email addresses. George Mason University associate professor Damon McCoy and several of his grad students volunteered to scrape those profiles that were open and map their social networks to see if there were any obvious or discernible patterns in the data.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The raw data itself — which ranked the BestRecovery users on number of connections they had to other users — was potentially useful, but difficult to parse into meaningful chunks. Oddly enough, as</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
 I was poring over that data I heard from Chris Ahlberg, the CEO of Recorded Future Inc., a Cambridge, Mass. software company that specializes in Web intelligence and predictive analytics. Ahlberg was writing to say that he enjoyed the blog — particularly the posts with data-intensive analyses — and that he’d be delighted to collaborate on a data-rich research project at some point. I told him his timing couldn’t have been more serendipitous.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Ahlberg and his team took the raw scraped data sets from the Facebook accounts and ran it through their cyber intelligence applications. In short order, they produced some very compelling and beautiful graphs, shown below( Read the whole report<br />

Xclusive: How I Swindled American Women Of $48,000 – Student

<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">A final year student of Imo State University, Chibuzor Akobundu, has been
arrested by operatives of Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi, for allegedly swindling
foreign women to the tune of $48,000 through a dating website.</span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div>
Surprisingly, the 22-year-old Microbiology undergraduate 
confessed that his victims, resident in the United States of America, 
were ‘swept off their feet’ by his profile on the dating site.<br />
<br />
The suspects are Chibuzor Akobundu (Devon Miles, Martin Williams and Sani Bala Ismaila1st left), and other alleged accomplices.<br />
<br />
He
 spoke with journalists yesterday, while being paraded alongside two 
staff of a second generation bank, who allegedly facilitated the 
withdrawal of money via Western Union Money Transfer.<br />
<br />
The suspect 
adopted Devon Miles as his name and pasted a photograph of an unknown 
American citizen as his profile on the dating site.<br />
<br />
<strong>Victims</strong><br />
He confessed to have swindled five American single women within the ages of 40 and 50, in search for husbands.<br />
<br />
He
 gave the name of his first victim as Antoinette. He promised to marry 
her and was able to dupe her of $16,000 before she suspected he was a 
fraudster.<br />
<br />
His next victim was one Jettie Simpson, who reportedly sent $5,000 to him via Western Union.<br />
<br />
Others
 also duped by Akobundu were Shelly Bashir, $100; Billie Klock, $13,000,
 in a relationship that reportedly lasted for five months, and Andrea 
Desena, $8,000.<br />
<br />
<strong>‘How I operate’</strong><br />
Akobundu said: “I started browsing the dating site three years ago, posing as a US citizen residing in Nigeria.<br />
“At that time, it was a common game around my area in Ikeja. Along the line I met these ladies who were looking for husbands.<br />
<br />
“They
 fell in love with me because of my profile, where I stated that I was a
 49-year-old divorcee in search of a wife. I claimed to be an engineer.<br />
<br />
“I
 would tell them I was stranded in Nigeria and needed some money to 
travel back to US and they would send the money via Western Union.<br />
<br />
“At
 other times, I would tell them that my daughter was sick and that I 
needed money to offset her hospital bill and they would fall for the 
trick. I have never used charm to hypnotise any of them.<br />

“My
 parents were never aware of what I was into because anytime I got a 
reasonable amount, I would travel to South Africa and squander the 
money.<br />
<br />
“My regret is that I never used the money for anything 
tangible, to avoid suspicion. My mum is a teacher, while my father is a 
businessman and have been responsible for the payment of my school 
fees.”<br />
<br />
<strong>Victim’s story</strong><br />
Explaining how he was
 arrested, spokesperson for the Unit, Ngozi Insitume-Agu, said: “The 
arrest followed a petition via the Unit’s website from one Amelia 
Brosick, a US citizen, dated April 16, 2013, where she alleged that one 
Devon Miles, suspected to be a Nigerian, defrauded her to the tune of 
$16,439 using different tactics.<br />
<br />
“She added that she met the 
suspect on a dating site in June 2012, and the suspect, under the guise 
of dating her for the purpose of marriage, obtained the alleged sum 
fraudulently through Western Union.<br />
<br />
“Armed with the petition, 
Western Union was contacted and they sent a detailed spread sheet 
showing all the transfers in the name of the suspect.<br />
<br />
“Following 
the information, the duo of Nnamdi Nwakwue Dike and Olawale Oguniran 
attached to Western Union in Skye Bank, Owerri and Allen Avenue, Ikeja, 
branches, respectively, were arrested.<br />
<br />
“Their revealing statements
 led to the arrest of the serial internet fraudster, Chibuzor Akobundun 
also known as Devon Miles, Martin Williams and Sani Bala Ismaila. He 
adopted Devon as the internet name, but opened the account in the name 
of Martin Williams.<br />
<br />
<strong>Accomplices confess</strong><br />
“He
 confessed that he provided the bank staff with the photocopy of his 
identity card so that they could withdraw the monies, while he gave them
 some percentage.<br />
<br />
“The bank staff also confessed that they used 
Uche’s particulars to withdraw money from other persons’ accounts 
without his knowledge.”<br />
<br />
However, Dike of the Owerri branch denied 
knowledge of what Akobundun was into. He maintained that he was only 
doing his job as a front-line teller staff of the bank, adding that he 
had never at any time paid Akobundu above the stipulated amount.<br />
<br />
He said: “Anytime he came to collect the money, he would answer the question given  correctly, including the secret code.<br />
<br />
“Mine
 is to ascertain whether the details corresponded with what was in the 
system at the end of which I would hand his money over to him.”<br />
<br />
Asked
 if he received any gratification from Akobundu, he said he was given 
tips of N1,000 or N2,000 at times, just like some other bank customers 
do.</div>
