Over the past months a growing number of fake social media accounts, WhatsApp and Telegram numbers have been impersonating Erick Octavian, professionally known as Vianzo. They copy his profile photo, his books and his content about studying and working in Australia to gain trust, then ask for money or personal data.

Discovery on 6 October 2026
On 6 October 2026, a TikTok account named “Vianzo Oz” with the username @erickoctaviann was identified using Erick Octavian’s identity and likeness. This is not an official Erick Octavian account.
The profile information references “koh tian”. Based on the evidence received, the account is suspected of being connected to a party using the names Koh Tian or Tian Rezo. That suspected connection has not been independently verified and must not be treated as an established fact. Erick Octavian states that he does not know and has no relationship or affiliation with Koh Tian or Tian Rezo.
Do not send money, OTP codes, identity documents, or personal information to this account. Keep the profile link and conversation evidence, then report it through the official channels.
Common patterns of the scam
- Offering a guaranteed job, visa or sponsorship in Australia in exchange for an "administration fee".
- Asking for transfers to personal bank accounts or e-wallets.
- Claiming there are limited "slots" or "quota" that must be paid for today.
- Fake giveaways, investment schemes or paid mentoring that request OTP codes, passwords or ID scans.
- New accounts with few posts, misspelled usernames, or comments disabled.
How to verify
- Open this website and compare the profile link character by character.
- Check the follower count and post history - copies are usually new and thin.
- Never continue a conversation that moves you off-platform immediately.
- Never send money before verifying through the official channels above.
How to report
If you have been contacted or harmed by an impersonator, please keep the evidence: screenshots of the full conversation and the profile page, the username and profile URL, transfer receipts, account numbers, phone numbers and email addresses, plus the date and time.
Send everything to erickoctavian@hotmail.com with the subject "Scam report". Also report the account to the platform, and report any financial loss to your local police and your bank.
