M.O. OF CASE
The Nigerians Tommy Mack and Marvellous Mezre Okafor are the main brains behind this type of crime. These two Nigerians sent e-mails through the mail ID sandraee233@gmail.com to all the Agricultural Universities in India as if it was sent by officials of 3rd International Conference on Water Resources Energy and Climate Changes, U.K. requesting the interested candidates to participate in the seminar. In the email itself it was mentioned that the interested candidates should send their resumes directly to the email ID sandraevans111@gmail.com. Some of the universities circulated the mail copies to their staff and students believing the mail as an official communication from U.K. One woman Assistant Professor who is working at regional Agricultural Research Station Polasa Jagtial, Karimnagar, Telangana showed interest to attend the conference and according to the schedule of conference she submitted her paper to sandraevans111@gmail.com on 31/07/2015. On 01/08/2015 she got the reply from mail id conference@icwrecc.co.uk which is contact mail id of website www.icwrecc.co.uk mentioned in the mail from sandraevans233@gmail.com regarding acceptance of her paper for oral presentation in the conference to be conducted at Royal Crown Hotel London and asked her to pay first and then they will reimburse after the conference.
Since communication came through proper channel from Administrative section of Professor Jayashankar telangana state agricultural university Rajendranagar Hyderabad, she obtained permission from Director of International programme for attending the conference and also discussed the matter with Director International Programme regarding the conference. They assured that the conference is genuine and useful for her profession and career. Initially the fraudsters sent a mail to the victim requesting to deposit for an amount of Rs.33,000/- towards hotel tariff to stay in Royal Crown Hotel, London. Later they demanded another Rs.52496/- as mandatory refund (MSRD) towards security deposit as many Asian people misuse the trip for other purposes. Later they demanded to pay Rs.43,657/- towards one way air ticket. They promised to pay the return ticket. Later they demanded to pay Rs.61,211/- towards health insurance. Later they demanded to pay RS.28,600/- towards paper publication. In the same way they demanded to pay Rs.20,000/- towards paper presentation. For emergency VISA Rs.35,488/- was demanded. All these amounts were paid by the complainant in the bank accounts of Mr.Paolenthang SBI, Bank and Md.Aziz Khan Bank of India. After that they sent a mail to the victim pressuring her to convert her ticket to class-1 and for that they demanded to pay Rs.96,000/- but the victim lady refused to pay that amount. Later they sent a mail to bear half of the charge and they would bear half of the extra fare. By this time, the complainant got some suspicion and denied to pay further more. Therefore according to the mail and telephonic communication, she deposited the money in the bank accounts of Md.Azim Khan and Paolenthang up to tune of Rs.2,82,000/-.
Even after paying amounts for various expenditures, she did not receive her air tickets or confirmation regarding participation in conference. Therefore she contacted The Director (International Programme). Director (International Programme) put a mail to sandraevans233@gmail.com which was not replied back. Hence The Director (International Programme) told her that it appears that the conference is fraud. In this case the fraudsters Mack and Marvellous Mezre Okafor created fake mail addresses conference@icwrecc.co.uk, sandraevans233@gmail.com, sandraevans111@gmail.com, and a fake website www.icwrecc.co.uk which appear to be official mail IDs website and thereby cheated the innocent public. The messages and mail IDs regarding this crime were found in the lap tops seized from their possession. In depth investigation has to be carried out to know the total victims.
