This fake bank is used in the "Famous Culture Lottery" scam operated by a 419 gang in Belgium. Fiducial agent:

Mr. Joe West of FAMOUS CULTURE AGENCY.
TEL: 0032-486-590-437
Email: famousculture@netscape.net

Fake bank contact details:

Desk of Director of Remittance
BRUXELLES CITY BANK
Bruxelles, Belgium
TEL: 0032-494101605
TEL: 0032-494101603
Fax: 0032-27069900
www.bruxellescity.net

They require an initial deposit of $5,028 by Western Union:

NAME: OPERA ISAH (Mrs)
ADRESS: Chaussi% de Charleroi, Brussel, Belgium

The domain bruxellesfinance.com was created on February 9, 2005. bruxellescity.net is a bit older: January 17, 2005. Unlike its newer sibling, that site seems to be down already.

Hi Joe,

Welcome to the site, and thanks for the info. The fake website (bruxellescity.net) was reported to the bank killers on 419eater.com on March 12th. Site is now dead Smile

Anybody running into the fake lottery should steer clear!

Thanks, guys! It's good to work with you Smile

Hopefully the same fate will strike bruxellesfinance.com very soon. I received info from someone who paid around $7000 to these crooks. Does anybody have contacts to the Belgian police?


Here's my introduction, if you haven't come across my site yet:

I track 419 and other scams by automatically extracting 419 scam email addresses as well as spam domains. My 419 feed delivers about 600-900 "419" scams emails per day. I archive all of that data and publish the most interesting bits to warn others.

I extract several hundred 419 mailbox addresses per day. I manually list cellphone numbers, bogus company names, aliases, bogus postal addresses from 419 scams, anything that people are likely to Google for.

I get a lot of email submissions from later stages of scams (including money transfer instructions) and try to track IP addresses to tie different versions of scams to common sources to map out the gangs behind them.

Joe

I have just checked the bank list at aa419.org and unfortunately it had not been previously logged. 419eater bank forum does not have it reported either... I shall be doing that presently.

Not sure if we have any contacts with Belgian Law Enforcement, I shall ask the question when I make the posting over at 419eater.

** edit**
bruxellescity.net has come back to life again.

I'm in contact with a Belgian lady, who has been accosted by a Nigerian scammer who sends her flowers and fake cheques, more or less on a regular basis, Shocked and she, in turn, is in contact with a Belgian police officer who's in charge of 419 fraud. I'll ask her to inform the police about this fake bank, or she could give me the name and mail address of that policeman...
