Do you remember ViVi Contras Belleville Brown 429, the long-winded scammer who contacted me at length about a position at “the intersection of Global Supply Chain and Systemic Accountability”?
Well, I guess I’m not the only candidate she targeted. I just received an email that read, in part, as follows. (I’m hiding the identity of the emailer to spare them from other scammers.)
“I received a very similar ‘contact’ from Vivi Brown trying to solicit my employment interest in the same AI/Energy Structure start-up. Oddest ‘interview’ procedure I have ever seen. No concrete job descriptions, organization structures, identification of Founders, etc. All communications mandated on WhatsApp (encrypted). Very verbose ‘corporate speak’ exchanges. When I asked if this was AI, they obviously denied that it was. Answers to background questions don’t necessarily add up. Company startup name given to me was “ARCLight’, and their interest in me reportedly ties to my mgt experience in Energy Structure Development. Numerous pictures (AI driven ?) of the young Vivi Brown have been forwarded with ‘feel good’ influence peddling formats, mixed in ‘business’ answers to my structure comments/questions. It looks like the AI derived Vivi was created as an Influencer on EezyCollab (“catfishing”?).”
I never encountered the WhatsApp red flag since I applied my KYB Fraud Failure flag early on, but I’m not surprised.
As for EezyCollab (which was NOT part of the scam, but may have been used by the scammer), it “connects AI products with the right creators across global markets — powered by an AI platform of 100M+ creators, direct pricing, and end-to-end delivery.” Plus its founder Yiki Chen is a marketer and vibe coder who has been vibe coding since 2021. Groovy.
Returning to Vivi, I found the website https://www.shvivi.com/#home for A.R.C (sic) Insight. (Not ARCLight.) It includes insights such as the following:
“Vivi Brown’s profile was not built through display. It was formed through consistency, disciplined judgment, and the gradual development of capability — producing a rare combination of written clarity, operational steadiness, and long-range strategic calm.”
Yes, written clarity.
