Scammers' ideas to rob Internet users seem to never stop.

Artists against 419 discovered today a particularly ironical website set up by Nigerian scammers. This fake site presents itself as an official european body in charge of tackling money laundering. It is rather simple and not very credible though, as the scammer put on the home page both the United Nations and the Council of Europe logos.

The domain is using nameservers from an american hosting provider -Cirtexhosting- that has been compromised and abused in another recent cybercrime case. A Romanian phisher gained control of one of their servers, and managed to host phishing sites targeting half a dozen French banks and an indefinite number of international financial institutions.

One of the most recognized and effective international body trying to combat money laundering issues is the Financial Action Task Force.
