This Lad says that he can prove he is not a scammer, because scammers will only supply photographs of models, or maybe one or two real photographs, whereas he will send many many photographs, including any poses requested. I now have over 160 photographs of him (or maybe it is his accomplice or friend or relative), plus two videos.
He goes by the name of Vix or Afeez Babajide or Afeez Bidemi Babajide or Aafeez Bedemi - [email protected] - a 22 or 26 year old Nigerian. He is on MySpace claiming to be both Nigerian and American:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu ... =260663126
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu ... =181959304
Apart from the requests for (and persistence about) money, Vix can come across as a very charming young man. He is willing to be boyfriend, or just a penpal. He will, if prompted, converse about life in Nigeria, customs, politics, foods, the economy. He says he is Yoruba, the son of a Muslim father and a Christian mother, identifying as Christian himself. He has given two (presumably fake) addresses:
13 Bemil Road
Ojudu Berger
Ikeja 23401
Lagos
Nigeria
and
1 King's Avenue
Bemil Road
Ojudu Berger
Ogun State
Nigeria
He sometimes writes Ojubu instead of Ojudu and King Avenue instead of King's Avenue. He obviously does live somewhere near King's Avenue (whether or not that might be the one in Ojudu) as he is standing by that street sign in one of the photographs I have of him.
His current given telephone number is +2347066162474 and an older one is +2348028861658.
Other names and email addresses he has used (posing as a white English, American, or German man) are:
Fred Christopher:
[email protected]
[email protected]
Robert or Sheila Roberts:
[email protected]
Jutice Adams:
[email protected]
These have all written emails sandwiched between Vix's mails, within minutes of each other, from the same IP address. He has also made a couple of errors, and signed a mail supposedly from Vix with Fred Christopher's signature.
It is likely he is also:
Jackson Kelly:
[email protected]
who has the same fondness for the first two IP addresses below, as favoured by Vix, and has written directly after a known Vix/Fred mail from the same address.
And he is also suspected of being:
Kayode or Kelly James:
[email protected]
who has been using the same IP address as Vix, but at a slightly different time.
His favourite IP addresses are:
196.1.176.222 (Abuja, Nigeria)
41.204.224.15 (Proxy, Abuja, Nigeria)
41.204.224.17 (Proxy, Abuja or Ibadan, Nigeria)
41.204.224.41 (Proxy, Abuja, Nigeria)
82.205.243.47 (Proxy, Satellite, Lagos, Nigeria)
He has requested money to complete an oil deal; for school fees for a younger brother; gifts for his family; and is currently claiming imminent homelessness, and wants variable amounts for a new apartment.
A few representative photographs of him:
Finally, an unlikely (and complicated) family story that Vix likes to copy and paste and reuse:
'To tell you something about me brother's Dad mum and other family people.
I am gone start like this baby..... My dad was married two wife, I can say my mum is the first wife and i can also say she is the second wife it funny thou but is just the fact. This how it goes, My Dad get married to this woman for some Years, They live together as husband and wife with a daughter for several years,There relationship was great and the both love each other so much, There is this suddenly fight and get seperated according to my dad so they both depart, The woman got another man and me dad got another woman a wife and that was my mom.Me dad and mom get along they love each other, been together for some years and still together...
Some few year back thier is this party that was organised in the family and this first woman which my dad first get married too happen to be there, She got one daugther for me dad already and she got some kids for the new man she got married tooo, Baby could you believe what happened? My dad and this woman got there fight setteled and they got along again and stated a new life and live together as husband and wife after 10 years of seperated that's was so bad and i see no reason for my dad to accept her back but i believe my dad was sharmed and he never know what he's doing again. The started living together as husband and wife again and my dad never take very good care of me and the brother's again, He spend all his time with this other woman, Spend all the money she ve got or make everyday on her and never come home or send money to me mom to take care of me and my brother,I believe is not doing it himself all i know and believe was that the woman sharmed her and she never know what she is doing. My mum was suffering and was take good care of us with the lil money she got from her provission according to her cos i was still a lil boy then.
Could you believe what happened next? This woman give birth to a baby boy again and she have to parked in to live together in my dad house that will live in and my mom was there messenger then, They send her on different Errand and even planned to kill her but there planns never worked!.. As time goes on this woman runned my dad and he never got no money to spend again and this woman start embrassing him, calling him all sort of name and stuff, She had no choice than to run back to my mum and they both start living together from then and he' s still marrying this woman but she is in different state, this woman was so wicked and she always pretend to be a good wife, I hate her but she liked me so much and she always want me to come and spend the holidays with her when i was still in secondary school, But then i was so afriad and i never want to die cos that what on my mind that she want to poison me, so i never go and spend any of my time with her , Even when she come where we live to visit my dad i will have to run aways and go lived with my friend till she go back.
About my brother's, My mum give bith two 4 strong boys i was the last born before till when my our first born decided, She don't live together with in my dad house, But she lived with my dad mother in the Northern part of Nigeria, There is this day they call on me mum that he was sick and when my mom get there he could'nt talk, walk or do anything, He's a very CUTE guy, Tall nice looking and easy going, He was poison with food on his dream and he affected him when he wake up to life, That's Strange and we lose him, that was how he ended up and now he's forgetten and living with God, May his soul rest if perfect peace. After then we remain three, my mum later give birth to another boy after some few years back and was name desame name and now he's happened to be the last born.!!! I have got two brother's and one Junior, In some few years back the one that happened to be the first born now, work tight and get some money to travel to UK, to work and raise money so that he can help the family with.He started saving money for the ticket and this money was been saving to my dad brother son and this guy ended up using the money for his graduation, This is a very bad story , my brother fainted when he had what happened to him but he got no choice than to start over again, Ever since then he was unable to raise that kind of money again and he still in the country!! Most of his friend that he wanted to travel out with are now rich guy and have been sending cars to there parent and even building some masions in here, I just believe everything in this life happens for a purpose. I believe in myself i know i am the one to make the family happy, I love my parent, My brother's so much and i want the best for them and i know everything is gone work out for Good!.
And i have to tell you some things about me, How i got fraustrated living my mum parent, and about to be homeless here!! One day i got to fetched water to take my bath from the 7 house to my house ,and i meet this pastor on the road when i was going and he called my name,that was so strange to me and he told me that i have to leave me parent house to make it in life, i laughed it out and i ignored the man how can i do that, Where am i gone be living and what will be happening to me, Who we feed me and how can i cloths my self so i never mind Him. So few months later there is this girl rented house in me dad house and we was living together and she told me his pastor asked him to tell me desame thing this other pastor i meet in the street told me, Baby it was so strange to hear that from her again and this time arround i have no choice than to move, i never noo anybody here and i just try to be strong and make it up, I was so friendly and people liked me so that helped me alot and i finnaly living with this guy for some years, But now he told me to move that he want some privacy with her GF so that was why i was temted to ask you to help me with the money for my Apart cos i never wanna be in the street and i can't go back tome dad house!! And again i have limited time to leave with this my friend cos he really want me out of his house!!!!!! i was so higger to get the money and that's was why i asked the money from you.'
