Biz Profit NG (Bizprofitng.info) By Kenechukwu Reginald Ezeani Is A Scam! – Akaahan Terungwa.
I have long since held that Ken Ezeani is a scammer – and an unrepentant one at that.
What perhaps, I missed is the notorious fact that Ken Ezeani is truly unrepentant, hugely notorious and clearly one of the most persistent (if not the most persistent) internet fraudster Nigeria has ever produced.
I sincerely believe, he shares a yet to be declared honour roll with the likes of Lawrence Anini!
From incomefornigerians.com, kerewa.net, raingold.org and now bizprofitng.info, Kenechukwu Reginald Ezeani has proved that he is indeed determined to scam unsuspecting Nigerians of their hard earned money in the name of teaching them how to make money online.
Well, now that I have zoned in on him – all his sites and scamming schemes will be published here and analyzed for all the world to see.
After’ll, I’ve taken a personal interest in him, being the only scammer to ever have scammed me of N5000, circa 2012 when I was relatively new to the reality of making money online in Nigeria and he, on the other hand, paraded a site that promised to teach me what I needed…a promise that wasn’t kept to date – and a refund that wasn’t honoured when I asked for same.
That site was incomefornigerians.com – I site I later forced him to abandon via the campaign I ran on my now defunct site, notopoverty.com (a site that redirects to the present one today).
So, without my ado, why do I hold that Ken Ezeani’s site, bizprofitng.info is s scam?
Kindly read on to discover things by yourself.
Why Is BizProfitNG.Info By Ken Ezeani A Scam? 5 Reasons!
Calling something (anything actually) a scam is quite easy: anyone with a blog and internet access can do so these days.
Calling someone a scammer is easier still: just about anyone can achieve same. This is why, in order to prove my case, I’ll be offering tons of evidence here: not one; not two not three.
As a matter of fact, the evidence is legion – and overwhelming for those who are smart enough to discern.
However, before that, here is an actual full page screenshot of bizprofitng.info (as of 9th April, 2019).
The reason why I saved this page is that, Ken Ezeani is quite shameless and without remorse; he may (as he has done in the past) delete the site and allege that it never even existed in the first place!
Now that this is settled, let’s now see why I hold that the website is a cheap fraud and importantly, why you should never bother with it or any other website that remotely looks like it.
1. There Is No ‘System’ Online That Can Make You $3,052.68 In One Weekend Copying & Pasting!
The very first red in Ken Ezeani’s sales page is right at the fore of the page, just as you open it.
This wild claim is meant to excite the greed in newbies online – and get them to take quick action and overall, take the page more ‘serious’.
However, for the trained eye, this is the very first red flag: there’s no system online that can net you 3k plus USD in a single weekend when what you do is nothing but copy and paste.
None!
As a matter of fact, copy and paste is not a way of making money online: it was invented by Ken and his likes to lure unsuspecting victims who are attracted to the dot com lifestyle and would appreciate making money on autopilot while they lazy around doing nothing but spending it.
To further complicate issues – and prove that the whole page is a cheap idea at defrauding the unsuspecting newbie online, Ken Ezeani makes it known later on in the sales page that what he is teaching is affiliate marketing.
Now, I make bold to say that, there is no affiliate marketing program in the whole wide world that relies on the reality of cutting and pasting to make money.
None.
So, where in Satan’s hell did Ezeani get his own version?
2. John Okobi Is Another Moniker Of Ken Ezeani’s
In the world of online scams, it is always useful for the scammer to change up his or her identity and carry on an online moniker in order to scam in stealth mode.
This is exactly what Reginald Ezeani has mastered and is pretty good at.
Take a look at this entry: there, you’ll see that the fellow has successfully used various monikers in past including Dr. Azolibe, James Osita, a plethora of other names and now, John Okobi.
Curiously, I ran a Google search on the name and guess what I found out: nothing – except for a Nairaland profile that bore the exact same name!
Now, I connected the dots: no one on Nairaland uses their real name when they register, afterall, the whole essence of the site is to contribute anonymously. So, why would a fellow who is versed in the ways of the internet (even possessing the skills to create and run a sales page) commit this blunder?!
I connected the dots further: Ken Ezeani is in the business of both creating and buying Nairaland monikers – as this facilitates his fraud in a most perfect manner.
Other monikers he runs on Nairaland include: Alajehub, Landmark445, Alexkene, Ihategirls, 9jaboy1 etc. Kindly go through them and see the striking correlation between ‘their’ reasoning, manner of writing and general intelligence.
So, in the sad event that John Okobi has no other presence online except Nairaland (and the profile traits and characteristics match other already identified profiles run by Mr. Ezeani), I came to the conclusion that ‘Mr. Okobi’ also double as Ken Ezeani.
I’m pretty sure that, if you go through the various monikers provided above, you’ll also agree with me.
You’ll also agree with me that, a true, genuine and real business coach will neither create his moniker on Nairaland using his real name neither will the forum be the only place he registers his presence online besides a sales page!
3. No Genuine Online Business Includes Everyone!
In the world of online business (as it is offline), no business model is for everyone. No one.
There is simply no general online model that can fit the fresh graduate, market woman and the plumber down street, all at once.
The reason for this is super simple: online business involves skills that are not necessarily distributed in the population, across board.
For instance, in the affiliate marketing model Ken mentions (though he doesn’t make a dime there himself because he’s quite a bad writer – he hires folks who write his sales pages for him); one has to be a very good writer to make waves there and catch the fishes, both the big and small.
What this means is that, irrespective of the fact that you’re a fresh graduate, you may still fail flat with this model of making money, unless you are a good writer with smart, persuasive writing skills.
His ‘all-inclusiveness’ is thus a lure to ensure that whoever lands on the page hops on and says: “I can also do this!” A fact which in reality does not hold!!
4. Clicking Links Scattered Online Does Not Equals Money!
During the MMM boom in Nigeria, someone very close to me passed on.
As is usual with me, I was in attendance when the funeral held. There, I met an old classmate of mine; one I had not seen for more than 10 years.
The fellow was doing relatively well – and seem to understand what he was doing till he mentioned MMM.
There and then, the anti-scam advocate in me rose up and spoke: I told him (without mincing words) that Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox was a SCAM.
He argued to the moon and back: how on earth could I have the guts to say that his super awesome and paying scheme was a fraud?!
I kept quiet. Instead, I asked him a simple question: how on earth does this program make money to be able to pay you folks between 20% to 50% on money ‘invested’ in as short as 30 days?
His answer made me laugh like a drunk hyena: he said – ‘MMM makes money by sharing links. Once anyone clicks on the links, money is generated for them. They use the money ‘invested’ to drive traffic and it is the ‘proceeds’ of this traffic that they share with their ‘investors’.
To clarify (because, I could hardly believe that a university graduate was saying this in the 21st century), I asked him again: ‘are you saying that clicking links online generates money for those who have shared the links?’
This old classmate of mine answered: ‘Yes. The money is deducted from the data used on the site and paid to the original sharer of the links’.
I almost fainted: how on earth could someone be so ignorant of the working of the technology he uses daily to this point?!
Well, Ken Ezeani is telling a similar story here: just that, in his case, he is pretty sure this is not true (unlike my old classmate who was genuinely ignorant).
To clear the air, this is not how affiliate marketing works!
To make money online with affiliate marketing, someone must click on your unique link(s), follow up with the link and actually make a purchase! The money you are paid is called a ‘commission’ and it comes from a fraction of what the customer pays!!
Makes sense now?
The (false) narration of Ezeani here is thus a cheap attempt to lure both newbies and the super desperate as there is simply nothing of such in the whole online world!
There is nothing like sharing links to make money from the data of the clickers!
5. If Ken Makes Thousands Of Dollars A Day, Why Bother Selling N8,500 ‘eBooks’?
This is common sense, really.
Ken Ezeani claims that in a weekend alone, he made more than 3,000 USD.
Now, converting that at the rate of N360 to the Dollar, he ‘made’ more than a million Naira, just copying and pasting for the weekend!
Now, if this is true, he makes more than 5 million Naira a month, on conservative estimate, factoring the reality that there are 4 weekends in a month and that he may also work during the weekdays.
Now, why exactly would someone who makes that much be bothering with extracting N8,500 from you? Especially when it is understood that it would take him more than 500 sales to hit the same amount (when the current super poor Nigerian economy wouldn’t permit more than 50 sales maximum in a whole month)?
And, why would such a person who has discovered such ‘easy gold’ want to share it with an anonymous stranger like you and all for only N8,500?!
More Proof That Biz Profit NG Is A Complete Scam!
As can be seen above, it does not take genius or the services of a native doctor to see that Ken Ezeani’s intention is simply to scam the unsuspecting newbie of his/her very hard earned money.
That much we can all see in the 5 points I have raised above.
However, it appears that is not all; there is more incriminating evidence:
A. Photoshop Of Credit Alert
The very first ‘proof of earning’ in this sales page is a screenshot purportedly from GT Bank.
While the screenshot itself used to be an actual correspondence from GT Bank, the version here has been edited and fitted with details to suit this particular nefarious purpose.
First, do you see the distance between the ‘John’ and ‘Dear’ in the first red circle above? This is not how the typical GT messages are rendered. The space between the two is simply too large.
For comparison, I’ll be showing you an example from my own account directly with the same bank. If you also bank with GT (great chances are that you do), you should also compare this Photoshopped photo here to the one you receive from your bank and see for yourself, firsthand.
Second, look at the next red encirclement: do you notice that all the particulars on the right are thicker and bolder than the rest of the text?
Now, kindly confirm the screenshot with mine below and (further) see for yourself:
Can you clearly see the difference now?
B. Amazon Affiliate ‘Proof Of Earning’ Theft
When I saw this one, I laughed long and hard: this is a program I’m very familiar with its working (the Amazon Affiliate Program) – so naturally, I took a long, careful and interested look at it.
What I found out shocked me!
This ‘proof of earning’ from Amazon was actually lifted from another site and published – hook, line and sinker!!
Here’s the site: http://kicauanburung2.blogspot.com/2015/07/earn-money-online-from-affiliate.html – and as can be seen here, the article was online as far back as 2015!
To avoid Ken Ezeani persuading the owner of the site to take down the article (the site appears abandoned – and this is very possible for such a passionate crook) and making me look stupid in the process, I captured a live, complete shot of the page and stored it here.
If you want to simply take a look at a screenshot of the said page, here’s a most recent screen capture:
See?
The sad part is that, Ken Ezeani is non-repentant and like the leopard, has never bothered to change his ways.
If you look at my original post sometimes back accusing him of being a scammer (find the post here) you can see that the fellow lifted up articles from my blog, back to back and was busy telling folks via his sales pages that he could make them rich by teaching them how to blog!
A fellow who was relying on my genius (by way of intellectual theft) to keep his very own blog alive!
The years have past, no doubt. However, it is clear that Ken Ezeani has never bothered to change!!
C. Replica Of A Similar Sales Page Bearing Slightly Different Information & Details…
The evidence that Reginald Ezeani is a cheap internet fraudster keep pilling.
However, we are not going to spend the whole day here: it’s time to offer a wrap up…let them that have ears, hear.
However, that wrap up won’t be possible without an introduction to another ‘mysterious’ low-level domain that is an exact replica of what Ken Ezeani offers with Biz Profit Info.
Here’s the site: https://oluwasegun374.wixsite.com/website/single-post/2018/04/25/FINALLY-REVEALED-The-Undisclosed-Method-Of-Making-Real-Legitimate-Money-Online-Even-If-Youve-Never-Made-A-Kobo-Online-Before.
The admin here, is not a ‘Ken Ezeani’ nor is it a ‘John Okobi’. Rather, it is one strange ‘Oluwaseun’!
Take a look at the site directly (or here, in case it ever gets unpublished) and let me know what you think in the comments below.
Now, let’s get to better things: how on earth can you avoid scams like this; scams from Ken Ezeani or any of the bad eggs from Nigeria (or elsewhere) in the future?
It’s simple, actually. And I’ll show you how.
6 Smart Tips On Avoiding Scams Like This In The Future
When Mr. Kenechukwu Reginald Ezeani scammed me many years ago, I was a hopeless newbie online and fell for his cheap scam, 100%.
However, with the years and the experience I’ve amassed over the years both online and off, I often laugh and wonder how on earth I was that naive!
Sadly, there is always a naive newbie online – and this is his specialty and the specialty of his kind.
As a newbie thus, how do you ensure that you never, ever, fall for this sort of scam again?
Simple:
I. If An Offer Is Too Good To Be True, It Most Certainly Is!
The number one way to detect a scam of this nature is to see if what it promises is too good to be true. For this very sales page, there are a number of things that sound super sweet to the brain but are not feasible in the real world:
- Making more than 3 thousand Dollars a weekend, copying and pasting links!
- The bullshit story that links make money, once someone clicks on them.
- The outright lie that everyone can handle the business model comfortably.
- Etc.
You see, online business is not different from offline business: if what you are hearing about an online business doesn’t march the reality offline, run away – it’s a scam, plain and simple!
The only difference between an online business and an offline one is that, you can have customers all around the globe and if you’re selling, make sales even while you sleep!
However, do not deceive yourself: this takes years to attain! Personally, it took me about 5 years to finally crack the code!
It is thus not something you can crack during the weekend and visit the bank on Monday!
II. Always Look For The Photo Of The Person You’re Dealing With Online And Ask For A Video Call With Anyone You Have Not Met Offline (Before You Part With Your Hard Earned Money)
This is something that will instantly distinguish the scammers from the real folks online.
When you come across any offer online, look carefully to see if the photograph of the person who is peddling such information has his or her photo on the same platform where such information is peddled.
It is not a coincidence that Ken Ezeani does not have his photograph online – especially on his sales page. The reason is simple: it will make it easy to identify him and possibly, effect an arrest.
If the photo is not there, try to search for it online, especially on social media. Beware of social media accounts that have only 1 profile photo though: most of them are bought or outrightly fake.
Finally, always insist on a video call with such a fellow before parting with your hard earned money.
WhatsApp video calls can easily be used for this purpose. The main purpose of the video is to make certain that the photo on the sales page (if any) matches the face of the person you are talking to. if it does, fine – test passed. If it does not, run – it’s a scam!
If the person rejects a video call from you (or rejects the request for one), tell him or her straight that a video call is the only way you’re going to release your hard earned money to them.
No video call, no money. Simple and short!
III. Similarly, Do NOT Fall For FAKE Photoshopped Proof Of Earning. Ask The Fellow To Log Into The So-Called Accounts In Real Time While You Watch On Live Video!
This is something that I got really attracted to, back in my days as an amateur online.
Back in those days, I trusted every photo online and did not have the slightest idea that photos can actually be doctored and made to read exactly what the person behind them wants.
Hell, there are even ‘professionals’ online whose job it is to fabricate any sort of document for you! Just give them the details and the rest, they say, is history.
Videos are a much more difficult ball game, due to their nature.
This is why, if you truly want to verify someone’s online claim, make that initial video call and politely ask them to log into their online accounts, in real time so that you can take a look.
99% of such folks (especially of the Nigerian variant) will blow and say that you’re not serious!
You’re not serious here means that you are not yet ready to be scammed! Accept it in good faith and move on – you just saved yourself some stress and money.
If however you get to be shown a video, be smart to record it and compare notes with the one published on the site…since birds have learnt to fly without perching, men must also learn to shoot without missing!
IV. Always Check To See If A Person You Have Not Met Online Is Active On Social Media
These days, everyone is on social media – and there is no reason to expect that someone who is offering to teach you the art of making money online wouldn’t be.
However, being on social media is one thing, being active is quite another.
To be safe, always check to see that the person is at least posting updates once a week. Anything less is unacceptable and should make you become suspicious immediately.
Usually, Facebook is the most preferred option here in Nigeria – and is a platform EVERY genuine internet marketer has a presence on.
Look at the friends of such a person and take a close look on the comments that come to the updates made. With this, it will become very clear to you what you are facing: a legitimate business person or a shameless ‘hustler’ and common thief – like the case of Ken Ezeani in question here.
V. Always Run Away From Offers That Address The Whole World!
This is self explanatory – but I’ll throw in a line of explanation just the same: run away from offers that address the world in its entirety.
An offer online that covers student, workers, housewives, illiterates, slay queens, baby mamas, grand-mothers, grand fathers, single mothers and just about anyone who exists on the surface of the earth is an outright scam!
No one offer can cover such a large and impressive spectrum of persons and still be valid – it’s as simple as that.
This is because, for an offer to be valid, it must be targeted and focused; this reality naturally excludes all others who are not in that close group.
Besides this, an offer addressing the whole world smells and stinks of desperation! Or, how else would one want that large a circle in reality if not to scam them out of their hard earned money?!
VI. Look Out For The FREE Offers! No One Can Give Out What They Don’t Have
Finally, always look out for a free offer that is available for you as a prospective client before you pay.
This offer may be an eBook, a course or a 3 paged PDF document.
However, this freebie, if present, will give you an idea of the worth the person is ready to impact; it will also give you an idea of what the person knows and what he or she does not know.
Generally, it is said that you cannot give what you do not have. This is a very good instance of such.
If the person has no freebie to offer like Ken Ezeani here?!
Run, for the sake of both your money and your life!
Wrap Up
Generally, online scams like this are made easy because people (especially, Nigerians) are greedy.
They are made possible because people, especially Nigerians are generally lazy and prefer the ‘short cut’ way of doing things, often.
These scams also thrive because most Nigerians ALWAYS want something for nothing!
Finally, these scams are a part of our reality as Nigerians because the culture of ‘fast money’ and ‘Benz’ is fast becoming a reality we are sadly burdened with daily.
This is not supposed to be. If you run away from such a life as detailed in the lines above, there is simply no way such scams would be attractive to you in either this life or the next.
There is no way folks like Ken Ezeani will ever scam you!
Take the word and save yourself.
P.S: What Does Ken Ezeani Look Like?!
This is Ken Ezeani, the fellow behind the scam we have comprehensively treated here. If you live in Lagos or its environs, be on the watch out, you might just meet him physically, one day.
If he scammed you, kindly submit details and I’ll publish your story here. However, starting with the police using his pic will be the smartest thing to do.
Truth Seeker
At first, I decided not to comment on this, but for the sake of the newbies who have no idea, I decided to drop by.
While I have not met or dealt with Ken Ezeani, but the truth is Most of the things you posted as the sign of a scanner is pure wrong and misleading!!
There are genuine people who make money and are genuinely teaching others by doing some of the things you mentioned above. So categorizing everyone who does what you mentioned as a scammers is purely misleading.
If you truly understand business strategy, you’d realize that YES, ITS POSSIBLE TO MAKE MILLIONS ONLINE AND STILL SELL AN E-BOOK FOR N8,500!!
It all depends on the motive behind it, as well as the strategy the sells for such book is expected to furnish.
Akaahan Terungwa
Dear ‘Truth Seeker’,
Ordinarily, I would have deleted your comment right away (there’s no point wasting time on negative forces).
However, on a second (and deeper look), your comment goes way deeper than actually meets the eye. Thus, for the sake of the very newbies this article is meant for, I’ll raise some posers and address them:
1. My article here raises a lot of points; way more than one. As a matter of fact, I’ve raise seven good point – some as damning as Ken Ezeani stealing images online and claiming they are proof of earning or as implicating as ‘photoshoping’ GT Bank’s statement of account. Why on God’s holy earth would you choose the eBooks point (and only the eBooks) to talk about?!
2. Your name here reads ‘Truth Seeker’. Usually, people comment with their names (‘Vincent Chukwuma’ from your FB profile) when they are interested in making points they want to be taken serious. Only those who are not sure of what they are saying or who themselves comment because of some sad sinister motives hide their identity.
3. The email address you used for this purpose is also false (to protect your privacy, I’ll not publish it here though). I will not also elaborate further – that will amount to helping your types avoid detection in the future.
4. You made a similar comment on my FB page where I shared this same post. From there, I followed the comment to this FB account.
There, I discovered that your profile truly looks questionable and ‘unreal’; it is the type of profile scammers use and I’ll counsel any newbie to do business with you at their own risk (that is, if you ever offer anything for sale on that profile).
Here are the red flags:
i. Your FB URL reads thus: https://www.facebook.com/raisecash1. Don’t you have a name? Why use ‘raise cash 1″? What happened to the obviously fake ‘Vincent Chukwuma’ you have used as a display name?
ii. You do not have a real photo of yourself; what is there is a profile picture showing wolves! Are you serious OR ARE YOU AN ANIMAL?!
iii. Finally, even the wolves pix is the only profile photo you have ever uploaded there 🙂
I could go on and on and even make a post of a thousand words (or more) if I had the time. Sadly, I don’t.
So, I’ll conclude here and go do something better with my time:
You are Ken Ezeani himself, an ally of Ken’s or a bloody internet fraudster sucking the blood of newbies online who do not know any better!
