American Scammer Caught For Posing As Nigerian Prince by Rossikk(m): 11:59pm On Dec 31, 2017 |
Meet your ‘Nigerian Prince.’ Police say he’s behind hundreds of scam emails BY DON SWEENEY UPDATED DECEMBER 29, 2017 01:06 PM Anyone with an email address has likely gotten a message from a Nigerian prince or two offering hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in secret inheritances or, in some cases, payment for assistance laundering ill-gotten gains from mining conglomerates or royal treasuries. Police in Slidell, Louisiana, say they finally caught up with one of the people behind some of those emails. He’s not exactly Nigerian royalty, either, police wrote in a Facebook post. Michael Neu, 67, of Slidell, Louisiana, faces 269 counts of wire fraud and money laundering following an 18-month investigation, police wrote. They say Neu took part in hundreds of financial transactions involving phone and online scams to con money from people across the United States. In these scams, the supposed Nigerian prince (or other official) asks for the person’s personal banking information in order to speed the transfer of the purported inheritance or temporarily hold the allegedly pilfered funds. The information can then be used to withdraw funds from the victim’s accounts. http://www.sacbee.com/news/nation-world/national/article192149904.html |
