Twenty-three year Oyeniyi, a 300-level Mass Communication student of Lead City University, Ibadan, was arrested for allegedly defrauding some foreigners of millions of dollars. The suspect, who confirmed his involvement in Internet fraud, told the police that he got into the business two years ago. He also accepted to have swindled two women of huge sums of money. He said, “I am involved in yahoo business (Internet fraud). I had duped some women living in the United States of various sums of money. “I was arrested by the police as a suspected armed robber but I told them that my mother owned the car (Range Rover Sport) that they saw me with. “My mum is a doctor and my dad a retiree. “I got into the internet fraud business one year ago. The first deal fetched me $17m while the second fetched me $25,000.”

So in essence you are doubting the possibility of a scammer making 17 million USD from a single victim? Are you aware that Nwude and co made over 350 Million USD from a Brazilian mugu? And that was ages ago when they send scam letters by post office. What about now that a scammer have new technologies and software's to send millions of emails in one day?

Before I returned from Ghana, there was this news about a 19 years old Ghana scammer who just made 5 million Euros from a Holland mugu. The scam became public knowledge when the financial authorities in Ghana blocked the fund in Ghana and invited the sender to come personally to Ghana. The lady got to Ghana and was insulting all the police officers, telling them the small boy is her husband and the money is for factory project and if anyone harass her husband in Ghana she would sue them to court.

I dont blame scammers alone, I blame their victims for being too dumb and too greedy. Only a greedy fool will fall victim.

My friend even you said it; in Ghana some greedy victim was about to pay $5m and the banks between Ghana and the victims country went crazy.

The $300m fraud took place over a long period of time and involved the fraudsters and victims having a series of meetings all over the world.

You say one small pickin for internet cafe suddenly collected 2billion naira into which bank account? His student account? You go and receive 250million naira and see how easy it is

Clap for Oyeniyi the Igbo boy.

Ngodigha: Clap for Oyeniyi the Igbo boy.

Yeah its amazing how everyone goes neutral when the scammer is from Yorubah, if to say na Igbo guy we for don hit 8 pages long time, and our brothers will be calling us all sorts of names as if there is a crime they dont commit in Yorobahland. Nigerians, we are our own enemies...
