Four Nigerian men, Monty Emu, Adewunmi Nusi, Emmanuel Oko, and Chukwuka Ugwu (pictured above) have been jailed a total of 14 years for duping single women out of about $350,000.

According to the UK Mirror, the four men duped these women after they responded to a false profile of an "attractive middle-aged man" on popular dating site, Match.com. Don't these women learn?

"They then fell for the conman's story that he was due to receive a £100 million inheritance from his father but that it was tied up by red tape in India.

Once the relationship had developed with the fake man, normally called James Richards, the conspirators started requesting cash.

At first the women were asked for a £700 legal fee by a fake solicitor but then the sums requested rose to up to £100,000, Winchester Crown Court heard.

The trial was told that vulnerable women were conned out of £220,000, with one victim, Suzanne Hardman, handing over £174,000.

Some realized it was a scam and did not hand over any cash. Following a three-week trial, Monty Emu, 28, of Frencham Road, Southsea, Hampshire, and Adewunmi Nusi, 37, of Bomford Close, Hermitage, Berkshire, were convicted of money laundering.

At the start of the trial, Emmanuel Oko, 30, of Waverley Grove, Southsea, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud and money laundering and Chukwuka Ugwu, 29, of Somers Road, Southsea, admitted money laundering.

Oko, who was said by the judge to be at the centre of the conspiracy, was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment for the fraud and four years to run concurrently for the money laundering offense.
Emu, who laundered about £55,000 during nine months, was jailed for three and a half years, Ugwu was jailed for 46 weeks and Nusi was imprisoned for 18 months.

Sentencing the four men, Judge Susan Evans QC said: "This was a highly sophisticated conspiracy to defraud, it preyed on the trusting, the lonely and the emotionally vulnerable. The amount of planning was, in my view, substantial and would have required a highly organized group of individuals. Some of those females that were targeted were utterly taken in by this cruel scam and the sophistication of the crime means it's unsurprising that some of them were taken in. The hurt and distress you caused them was enormous. It's not even about the loss of the money being at the forefront of this, it's about the emotional hurt you caused them."

In a victim impact statement, Ms Hardman, from Basingstoke, said that the fraud had led to her suffering sleepless nights and not eating because of the stress and that she had lost her self-respect.
She said: "From the day I reported the incident to the police, I felt very vulnerable and sick to my stomach. As I look back, I felt groomed and that is how I became a victim of this, I wouldn't want anyone else to be a victim of this type of crime. I do feel a duty to warn others, women specifically, of this type of theft over dating websites and the internet. The money itself was to act as a pension and to support my family as I got old, one could say I have lost everything that I had from a 28-year marriage."

Sylvia Tai Sen Choy, who lost £11,300 to the scam, said that she had been put on anti-depressants since falling victim and at one point I was too frightened to answer the phone.
"All I wanted to do was meet someone so I wasn't on my own, it sickens me that there are people out there who want to prey on people's emotions."

So true.
That's the hypocrisy of the tribal warrior touts of NL.

The fall of the blackman began with the deceit of riches, wealth and power. the 2nd trick of satan to lure the black people into fall. every people in nigeria now is after riches, wealth and power, fall is 100% awaiting those that run after these illusion, it is absolute! That wealth, riches and power comes with each and everyone of us from that second we got concieved in our mothers womb. all it takes is to love yourself first, when you love yourself, you actually love GOD, because you appreciate how well he has created you. Love your brothers and sisters (i never said love your enemy o, however, you must know your enemy). study yourself, study your environment and surroundings, Then you can begin to bring mavellous things out from GOD'S creation. And the 1st trick of satan is GOD is a spirit.

These people will never stop embarrassing the name "Nigeria".

I don't know if Nigerians are the hungriest people in the world,there are citizens of poorer countries yet they act with dignity and integrity.

Then when other countries and their citizens treat us like shiit in their country we commplain.

And when I say we deserve it Nairalanders scream "publicennemy".

#Noconcience

This is not news

Nigerians will never learn...but why do these white women fall prey to stuffs like this??

Epic man.


The first thing I looked for was the names as a preview to the forth coming tribal war. On seeing them I burst into laughter.













The morale is cash knows no tribe. We should think about that.

The tribal warlords have suddenly gone quiet. At least this crime will make us all do an introspection as Nigerians stained by the indiscretions and greed of our compatriots instead of hurling stereotypical insults and innuendoes at each other.

We can go all strong and blame the women for falling cheaply but loneliness and general vulnerability most times obscures sound judgement. These are always exploited to the fullest by conmen. I hope they recover fully.

My only sadness about this case is that the sentences aren't long enough for the crooks.

They are completely discombobulated by the equal representation. I suspect some must have developed a serious headache thinking of how to handle this.

Joke apart, Adewunmi Nusi was the person that coerce the Igbo guy to join them. Chukwuma was a good guy that unfortunately chose the wrong Yoruba guy.

Not that all Yorubas are fraudster, but you get my point.

Hypocrites allover.

The Hausas hardly soil the name of Nigeria when crimes as these are uncovered.

Though, i'll take these crimes anyday to what AbdulMutallab planned doing.
