The Derek Onward Gang

[Departed]

There is a gang operating out of Nigeria, that specializes in counterfeit checks, counterfeit US currency, sweetheart scams, and stolen credit card scams, including hotel booking scams.

The leader of the gang is Derek Onward aka Janet Onward. Here are the Nigerian passports they use. Part of the hotel booking scams are obtaining visas, so they use the passports that they use to travel with.

These are their pictures:

[Top Gun]

Yah There sure are some ugly guys there!!:fear:

[Central Scrutinizer]

@ Top Gun,

We do not say people are ugly here. We do not allow ugliness. We say they are aesthetically challenged. I mean, imagine if one of these people google searches their name and they find this page and they find that you have called them ugly. You could really hurt their feelings. Please have some consideration for their feelings. Sure, they are scammers, but scammers have feelings too.

[Top Gun]

:qqb006: ......

[Gentle Giant]

Yes, Top Gun, aesthetically-challenged. These people are known scammers; anyone in the world can see their passport photo here, and you call them ugly. It could just humiliate them. Please respect the feelings of these criminals.

:D

[Spidey]

They have feelings?

[The Doctor]

Of course they have feelings, Spidey. Think of the intense feeling and affection they develop for.....money.

[Dororo]

Maybe we can stop the travel of this group.

[Quark]

I suppose we can't call them stupid either?

[Gentle Giant]

No, sorry Shaykh. We should refer to them as "intellectually-challenged".

[Spidey]

What about goofballs? Can we call them goofballs?

What about dimbulbs?

[Top Gun]

Yah, As they may be ugly I think we can call them GOOFBALLS!!!
just as long as we do not call them ugly Goofballs:boink:

[Le Pink panther]

Ah mon ami, you are as they say pushing the luck? :fencing:

[Marie]

They have been quiet. Are they out of business?

[The Doctor]

Hard to tell. They do seem a little quiet.

[Sphinx]

The look pretty desperate. I guess they can't travel much any more. :violin:

[Nanook]

They might be able to travel around Nigeria, but nowadays they'd be famous.

[Cold War Kid]

Now that they're famous, maybe they can use their celebrity status for something useful in 2008.

[The Doctor]

Maybe some prison time.

[Quark]

Prison time would be nice but if they're stuck in Nigeria it isn't very likely.

[Cold War Kid]

No, not as corrupt as Nigeria as.

[Miyuki]

He was using this email <derek.onward@yahoo.com> for a horse scam.

[Cold War Kid]

Man, you put his email here that's just like begging people to email him. :)

[Central Scrutinizer]

I think that's kind of the idea, I.K.

[Quark]

Say, I'm kinda new here. How do we know that these people are scammers? I mean, what's the source for this?

[Miyuki]

@ Rick,

Solid and gold-plated in this case. There's no question about what they did.

[Spidey]

@ Rick,

What she said. Don't worry about it. If they are here they are scammers or have been involved in scams.

[The Doctor]

Yes Rick, even when they email us and whine and complain that they aren't being treated fairly, they didn't get here by being Boy Scouts.

[Sphinx]

Some of these scammers are complaining? :D

[Quark]

They always think they are big men when they are scamming and then they cry like babies when they get caught.

[Cold War Kid]

Hang on, some of these people are complaining? About what? isn't this free publicity for them?

They can walk around internet cafes in Lagos and say, "hey look, I'm on a webpage. I'm a celebrity. Are you smallboi"?

[Nanook]

Fame and fortune, who could ask for more?

[Kit Kat]

Fortune I think they want. I don't think they want this kind of fame. It ruins their James Bond-ish image about being a bunch of smart-guy sneaky scammers.

[YogiBear]

If I remember correctly, departed said it was the old hotel+visa scam and checks that they were doing.

The hotel+visa scam sort of requires them to use copies of the passports they use to travel, or the travel visas are no use to them later. It also links them pretty tightly to the stolen credit card information they use to do the scam.

I have a friend who runs a hotel that got hit. They book rooms for several of their customers (they play the role of travel agent) using stolen credit card information, at hotels that help customers get travel visas when they stay there.

Later (after copies of the visas are obtained) the scammer playing travel agent cancels the reservations and tells the hotel that he has already refunded his clients money and gets them to credit the refund to his card (also stolen)

Since they counterfeit checks, the visas should be easy to forge and use to travel. Nasty!

[YogiBear]

Got this from my friend and it shows how the scammers do this format.

I don't know if this is from the Onward gang, but it is a new version of the same format. Thought you guys may find it interesting.

They don't sound like the brightest lights on the Christmas tree. :rolleyes:

Fame is such a fickle mistress. :)

[Dororo]

I think Derek was trying a horse scam!
I did not even reply to this guy. I have had an ad on here for 3 days!

[Quark]

What's he doing with the horses?

[Sphinx]

What's he doing with the horses?
Like omg hes not like, you know, with horses is he?

[Quark]

Derek? Why not? he'd probably bugger anything that stands still for him long enough to get his pants down.

[Kit Kat]

Stop it people! This is just a rumor. There is absolutely no proof of personal relations between Derek and any animals. Fake checks, stolen credit cards, yes. Animals no. This is just a rumor that some people spread about Nigerian 419 scammers.

[Sphinx]

but like if its a rumor isn't it like maybe true?

[Kit Kat]

No it is not true just because it's a rumour.

[Gentle Giant]

OK, here's some solid facts.

Individuals claiming to be Omobolaji King and Oluwayomi Josephaka "Yommy" Yusuff (for and on behalf of himself and his brother Yusuf Michael Oluwaseun Yusuf) have contacted us to express their unhappiness and displeasure at finding their passports posted on this website and in this thread. In order to be fair in this matter, the following is submitted for consideration of the jury (i.e., that's you, folks). You may attach any weight and credence to these statements as you so choose.


In order to simplify their arguments, their statements of fact are as follows (some editing has been done):

1. Omobolaji King and Oluwayomi Josephaka "Yommy" Yusuff (for and on behalf of himself and his brother Yusuf Michael Oluwaseun Yusuf) claim that they are not now scammers.

2. Omobolaji King and Oluwayomi Josephaka "Yommy" Yusuff (for and on behalf of himself and his brother Yusuf Michael Oluwaseun Yusuf) claim that they have never been scammers.

3. Omobolaji King and Oluwayomi Josephaka "Yommy" Yusuff (for and on behalf of himself and his brother Yusuf Michael Oluwaseun Yusuf) claim that they have no knowledge of how copies of their passports came to be on someone's else's computer.

4. Omobolaji King and Oluwayomi Josephaka "Yommy" Yusuff (for and on behalf of himself and his brother Yusuf Michael Oluwaseun Yusuf) claim that someone (a scammer) has used their passports in a scam and that they, Omobolaji King and Oluwayomi Josephaka "Yommy" Yusuff (for and on behalf of himself and his brother Yusuf Michael Oluwaseun Yusuf), are innocent victims of identity theft.

5. And most interesting of all, Omobolaji King and Oluwayomi Josephaka "Yommy" Yusuff (for and on behalf of himself and his brother Yusuf Michael Oluwaseun Yusuf) claim that have no personal knowledge of or acquaintance with anyone named "Derek Onward".

6. Omobolaji King and Oluwayomi Josephaka "Yommy" Yusuff (for and on behalf of himself and his brother Yusuf Michael Oluwaseun Yusuf) do state that they currently reside in Nigeria.

So we just want to enter that into the record. Other facts are known which would contradict some of these statements but they will not be submitted into evidence at this time.

[Kit Kat]

So that means maybe later?

[Gentle Giant]

So that means maybe later?
If they whine and complain about it like crybabies.

[Departed]

Immmmmmmm Baaaaaaacccccckkkkkk! The body may be rotting in the grave but my spirit is just fine now and ready to take all the scammers on.

Run and hide yahoo bois, De Iceman is back from the grave.

You wanted proof , then look at Yogi Bears thread on Kamo, he just found what I found and he is spot on.

[Sphinx]

I thought Derek needed a little luving just so he didn't feel like we don't care any more. And then look what I got:

[Nanook]

That's nice of you to worry about Derek. :)

[Departed]

Hello from the other side Derek, fear not my dear scammer you have not slipped my mind. Even now my minions are haunting cyber space for any traces of you and they always succeed because they know the price for failure.
