1) She didnt do any business with them. 2) she didnt know them from Adam. 3)She just wanted to reap where she didnt sow. (4)Why would anyone tell you that they have some huge illegal money they want to trasfer to you and you agree? Thats the mark of a fraudulent person.

The Yahoo Yahoo scam only catches the very greedy and unscrupulous. Good for her.

If they have said they have no real evidence and will investigate, that's fine. If they have said they have no real evidence and have closed the case, that's foolishness.


The scam site "gin-fb.com" is a phishing site. The official site of the Gulf International Bank is "gibonline.com".

Well if 9jahoster.com will not be doing anything about it.... its like complaining to a driver that he's a rough driver... if he refuses to heed advice you move on to tell his boss.

9jahoster.com is hosting "gin-fb.com" on a server with the following details:
=====
NetRange: 184.154.0.0 - 184.154.255.255
CIDR: 184.154.0.0/16
OriginAS: AS32475

Updated: 2012-03-02
Ref: http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-184-154-0-0-1
=====

The IP address block is registered to Singlehop. Those are the people who have the power to take down the entire server if the smaller resellers refuse to take down a phishing site.

The email address in bold is the email you should use to contact them about this.

After sending the mail you can go back and thank 9jahoster.com for their support and you won't need their assistance anymore as you have reported the issue to the datacenter responsible for that server.

The site details is enough to show that this was a planned scam to swindle people of their monies.

How would a company based in dubai and posing as an investment company be registered by a Nigerian web developer in Ibadan?

Yeah, i understand all these freelancer stuff, but this is way beyond that.

It leaves so much to be desired...

Just hope these guys can be nabbed.

==============
WHOIS - Wikipedia
Purpose

The WHOIS system originated as a method for system administrators to obtain contact information for IP address assignments or domain name administrators. The use of the data in the WHOIS system has evolved into a variety of uses, including:[citation needed]

Supporting the security and stability of the Internet by providing contact points for network operators and administrators, including ISPs, and certified computer incident response teams;

Determining the registration status of domain names;

Assisting law enforcement authorities in investigations for enforcing national and international laws, including, in some countries, specialized non-governmental entities may be involved in this work;[original research?]

Assisting in combating abusive uses of information communication technology;[2]

Facilitating inquiries and subsequent steps to conduct trademark research and to help counter intellectual property infringement;[citation needed]

Contributing to user confidence in the Internet as a reliable and efficient means of information and communication and as an important tool for promoting digital inclusion, e-commerce and other legitimate uses by helping users identify persons or entities responsible for content and services online; and

Assisting businesses, other organizations and users in combating fraud, complying with relevant laws and safeguarding the interests of the public
=============
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whois


Bottomline: The administrative contact information in the WHOIS records of a domain is responsible for whatever happens on that domain, whether he is a reseller or end user... he is totally responsible for the use of the domain. The authorities will pin him down and it is left for him to prove he's just a middle man or not... that is not our business. His name is there and he's responsible. End of story.
