Raymond Virciglio is a convicted Internet fraudster who continues to steal from people after being sentenced. As the legal process has not reformed him, we have no hesitation in rejecting arguments that he has "served his time." Most fraudsters involved in this type of crime are based in, or originally from, Nigeria (hence the term "Nigerian 419" fraud). But whereas Nigeria is a corrupt country where the police can be bribed and there is little chance of prosecuting criminals successfully, Raymond Virciglio is an Italian citizen living in Great Britain, so he can be caught and prosecuted (as you will see). If you have been a victim of Raymond Virciglio's criminal activities, please make a note of his contact details and keep copies of all emails and letters that you exchange with him and the scammers he works with. And remember that if the police refuse to act (e.g., they may say they cannot prove the case "beyond reasonable doubt"), you can sue criminals like Raymond Virciglio in the civil courts, where a lower standard of proof is required -- "balance of probability." We can put you in touch with expert witnesses to help you pursue your case. Here are just three examples of scams in which Raymond Virciglio has been involved 1) Raymond VIRCIGLIO, a retired 62-year-old male, Adebowale FALEYE, a unemployed 34-year-old draughtsman and Olatayo OGEDENGBE, a 39-year-old male mechanic were all sentenced at Southwark Crown Court (London, UK). They were each convicted on three counts of Conspiracy to Defraud, and they were sentenced to three years imprisonment on each count (to run concurrently). The case was a typical West African 419 fraud, where the victims (from the middle east) were induced to pay advance fees totalling $20,000 U.S. dollars, in order to release a large consignment of money ($23.5 million) allegedly held in a security vault in London. Needless to say the consignment turned out to be non-existent. See Metropolitan Police Fraud Alert (A) and Metropolitan Police Fraud Alert (B). 2) A historian from Graz (Austria) lost $32,000, and was then urged to pay $90,000 more, but then the police stepped in and made two arrests -- a "driver" from Nigeria and a "lawyer," a Italian in his sixties and living in London. The Italian was sentenced to 24 months, eight in jail. The scam was reported by the Austrian news agency ORF in articles dated 9/1/2004, 10/27/2004 and 6/7/2005. 3) Raymond Virciglio, together with his associates "Anthony Pepple" and "Frank Ashley," used a Mayfair address to try to con a British businessman (resident in Saudi Arabia). They attempted to set up meetings in Saudi Arabia and in London, but we were able to prevent this scam happening. As a crook with no moral scruples, Virciglio thinks nothing of misusing his passport to help with his scams. He has "lost" two passports in as many years -- and those are just the ones we know about! Given that "lost" passports can be misused by terrorists and people traffickers, it will be interesting to know what the Italian government thinks about Virciglio's actions. And the UK police may want to talk to him about the false reports he gave about how the passports were "lost." |
