Convicted Scammers: Ayman Ahmed El-Difrawi
(aka Alec Defrawy / Defrawi)

Difrawi is alleged to be behind many spams and scams circulating on the internet.  If reports are accurate, you've probably received spam/scam emails from one of his operations. His colleague, Lou Perlman was just convicted (May 23, 2008) to 25 years! Hurray!  That's one more scumbag behind bars! 

NOW, GO GET DIFRAWI! ARE YOU LISTENING FBI???

According to other websites Difrawi is behind the junk/scam/spam emails coming from 

There is little doubt that the websites above are scam.  Whether Difrawi is behind them remains to be proven. We've can obtain hudred (thoudsands?) of examples from dsite visitors to pass on to the FBI, so they ought to be able to gather all the evidence they need!

Read what Wikipedia says about him and see the many references to back up their allegations, and make up your own mind.  He is a convicted criminal - that is an absolute fact. Whether he is still engaging in criminal activities is another question. On his own website, Difrawi, argues his past and current innocence.  Yet, even he refers to a number of connections to known criminals and criminal operations. It seems implausible, at least, that he is just a unlucky guy who happens to work for or with criminals and criminal operations. But that is up to the justice system.  We can only hope that the FBI and Florida's police read Wikipedia, too, and are watching scams such as Adminsolutionsgroup and WorldVoiceNews to catch whoever is behind them, whether it is Difrawi, or someone else!

Quoting Wikipedia:

Ayman Ahmed El-Difrawi (also known as Alec Defrawy or Alec Defrawi or other variations) was born in 1964 to Ahmed El-Difrawi and rafia Kashmiri, two Egyptian immigrants who now live in Groveland, FL,

Criminal History

In 1996, Ayman was sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison and to pay more than $2.3 million in restitution to the victims of a scam he created through companies known as the Small Business Loan Association and Shearson Management Group[2]. Ayman was released from prison on August 27, 1999[3].

While Ayman has only served time on the charges stemming from Fraud charges, he has been arrested or charged at various times with crimes including child abuse and illegal wiretapping[4].

Later, Ayman was a key player in Lou Pearlman's, Talent scouting scandal.[5][6][7][8]

Current Activities

Ayman currently resides in Orlando, Florida where he allegedly runs a consulting business as Dr. Alec Defrawi[9]. Defrawi Consulting is not listed as a company in Florida. The website was originally registered by Defrawi and first reported 2004-07-22 in its Whois history[10]. The website's content has not changed since it first came online [11].

It's been alleged that Ayman is running a modeling and employment scam almost identical to WSN with cohort Michael Fomkin called variously Impact210 and Toospoiled.com, perhaps under the assumed name Peter Luterek.[12][13]
