YouTube Video Advertises Illegal Simbox Profits

There are YouTube videos that brazenly explain how to commit simbox fraud and evade the legal consequences, even warning criminals not to use cheap Chinese gateways!

Previously I have argued that the best way to learn about simbox fraud is reading the advice given by the firms who sell simboxes. Now I learn that the suppliers have gone one step further, producing a pretty slick promotional video that explains how to conduct simbox fraud in Ghana. Their YouTube video says

Ghana is a perfect place for making money

and

Simbox termination… will bring you a lot of money

and

Per month, your income will be about $27000

but they warn that

Cheap equipment will bring you to jail

because

Cheap Chinese gateways… do not have special features like SIM migration and human behavior simulation, which are strongly necessary for safe termination in Ghana

Watch the video below and you will not only learn how to commit simbox fraud in Ghana, but also which EU business provides both the GSM gateway and practical advice on how to avoid law enforcement!

Hat tip to Jan Vervloet of LATRO Services for telling Commsrisk about this video.

  1. I havent laughed to hard before.
    This video is hillarious, made by clueless people who are trying to sell equipment which is no better than the chinese crap they are talking about.

  2. I was not sure whether to laugh or cry. We are living in interesting times in deed!

  3. Eric, now you see the pressure and stress I have to deal with on a daily basis. Even the fraudsters are advertising our country Ghana as the place to come to commit crime. The fight is on.

      • I think Nixon should also make a video that shows what happens to the crooks who come to Ghana, hoping to strike gold but make the mistake of crossing his Mr Wampamba’s path :)

  4. Last year when i talked to them using their contact chat program, it was quite funny to ask if they can help availing pre-provisioned SIMs too? ;-) Well, the representative did not have any answer and asked me to check with his product manager and they shall get in touch with me on skype. The product price is negotiable providing you give them the traffic you want to generate and how many channels one would like to use. Another good question they asked is if am i working as a firm or an individual !!! Now that states quite a good things about Telco Industry ! :)
