I heard. Tell me what’s new in this story, 11 fraud stars; and so? It happens everywhere, Go and read about the Great America fraud and top ten fraudsters of all time. The difference between Nigeria and other PERFECT countries is simply the focus. We enjoy discussing the worst about our country, the media focus which represents our image to the outside world. This tread has attracted 10 pages in less than one week. Even tread on Ghani’s death didn’t attract much, which means we enjoy discussing the worst about our country. Go and check up the 10 most corrupt countries on planet earth, Nigeria is not listed; but I guarantee it will soon be. The problem with this country is not the leaders alone; we have a bigger portion of the problem. I don't see the need of posting such tread in the first place. |

A credit card forger was caught in July 2008 trying out a new batch of phony plastic at a Nashville gas station, and investigators found the sophisticated equipment and blank cards needed to make the counterfeits in his apartment. http://www.tennessean.com/article/20090913/BUSINESS01/909130336/1003/NEWS01/High-tech+forgery+equipment+makes+credit+cards+vulnerable He's not a nigerian, credit card scams are not just by nigerians alone. We only have the reputation. |

jay bee: Yep, at least looking on the bright side, better scammers than suicide bombers blowing innocent lives up for 70 virgins (sex unspecified). But then, evil is evil no matter the shape size or target victims or perpetrators. It's not too much to hope that things are changing for the better gradually. Awareness is making pulling scams off more difficult. . . hopefully difficult and later on impossible. |

The real nigerian criminals are the Nigerian politicians forget the Nigerians abroad how about those who are milking the country dry. Those Nigerians abroad doing fraud are just trying to make a living!!! Not that I support what they are doing but if Nigeria was not so frustrating to live in I guess I guess many Nigerians would not be doing fraud abroad |
Re: Nigerian-Yoruba Criminal Gangs In America Busted Yet Again by sjeezy8: 6:10pm On Sep 13, 2009 |
Phony200: good they said he was a[b] foreigner[/b] why cant they do the same for a nigerians abroad who do fraud, instead of always putting NIGERIANS? when one reaches America you are an American but if you Bleep up you are a considered foreigner, even if you're a american citizen has lived and contributed to america for 20+ years. I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE DONT SEE THE DOUBLE STANDARD AMERICA HAS. |

I write again this whole issue of nigerian gangs doing scams is blown out of proportion like i said i donot support what they are doing but nigerians are no where near americans as conmen the only problem with us is that we donot invest the money made into reasonable projects. Buying a flashy car with 17 inch rims and living in a rented room makes no sense. I guess is a black man mentality |

Nigeria needs major improvement!!! I belong to the school of thought which believes that once we become economically stabillised the rate in criminality in the country and outside will be considerably reduced. |

DefenceTimesNews Voice of Cape Nigerian Muse African Institute Confab Nigerian credit card ring in Minnesota exposed! By Wasiu Sodeinde Continued from home page, There is palpable fear among Nigerian crime communities in the Twin cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota, as agents of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehensions, BCA began rounding up some Nigerians believed to be involved in credit card theft and identity fraud in the northern part of the United States. Eleven Nigerians, eight of who are currently being detained at the Ramsey County jail in St Paul Minnesota have been charged with multiple counts of fraud for allegedly running a counterfeit credit card scheme and stealing more than $650,000. According to the Department of Justice the list of the charged individuals include Bashiru Adelumola Fowoshere and Titilayo Abidemi Fowoshere, both of Ramsey; Adekunle Kayode Ayeni, Yewande Mariam Sholebo, Adewale Alba Alli, Olayemi Lateef Banjoko, Idowu Ayinla Sadiq, Abiodun Banjoko and Oyetoyin Oseni Atobatele, all of Fridley; Oriyomi Enitan Olowosago of Brooklyn Park; and Ajibola Alli Fowoshere, whose address is unknown. Abidemi Ayeni Fowoshere, wife of Delu is known in many social functions as the 'big girl' and was allegedly known to carry not less than $2,000 in cash in her wallet all the time. She too is now in Ramsey County jail. Africa-Online's correspondent; Wasiu Sodeinde scooped that the alleged leader of the gang, popularly known as Delu is currently being sought in connection with the crime and is believed to have escaped to Nigeria while His wife, Bidemi and brother in law, Adekunle Kayode Ayeni who was arrested a day after his 27th birthday are currently in the clink. Africa-Online's correspondent was also informed that Abidemi, wife of the alleged leader of the gang had been deported several times to Nigeria only for her to resurfaced back in the states "she had been deported back to Nigeria not less than three times, how she managed to come back to US still beats everyone's imagination?" added a source who does not want to be named for fear of intimidation by the members of the gang who were believed to have vast network throughout the US, Europe and Africa. Another source claimed that the leader of the gang, a five foot tall man with a rotund belly whose family is related to a monarchy in Lagos State has been contacting network of friends in US to get lawyers to effect the release of his wife and his foot soldiers . The alleged leader, Delu Fowoshere bald headed in the middle with brother in law Kayode Ayeni, standing (R) while in rasta hair is Abiodun Banjoko left in jean pant is Olayemi Lateef Banjoko According to the source, Delu was allegedly said to have shipped not less than 20 assorted cars monthly to Nigeria and was said to have boasted that he could afford expensive lawyers that would handle the case. According to a source who is closed to the gang, he was alleged to have informed his foot soldiers not to blow the whistle until he had got them a lawyer. According to information obtained by the Secret Service, one of the charged individuals allegedly boasted that he would never get caught for his crimes because he was too good at "covering his tracks Africa-Online's correspondent however gathered that there are other Nigerians still being sought in connection with fraud related crimes like, counterfeiting, credit card fraud and mail fraud among others, top among the suspects is a man believed to be a son of the special adviser to the former president of Nigeria on ecological matter whose father's house was allegedly being used for the criminal activities. Most closed associates and friends of the gang members were said to be on the run following the breaking of the news of the arrest of eight members of the gang, others who were very closed to them are now living in fear as they were not sure of how extensive the investigation into the crime would go. A mother of one of the suspect was said to have collapsed when news of the arrest of his son was broken to her. Oyetoyin Atobatele has fleet of cars and has own plate numbers like Oseni 1 Oseni 2 Oseni 3 etc inscribed on them and is known to have own cloth line, he is currently a guest of the police at the Ramsey County jail, Minnesota. Africa-Online's correspondent can authoritatively reveal that most of the family of the arrested Nigerians have had brushes with the law in the past. An impeccable source told NewsStar that the wife of Idowu Sadiq was arrested about seven years ago in New York while attempting to cash a stolen $100,000 cheque from an account that did not belong to her. She was jailed and had to deliver her first child in the prison. She was believed to have relocated to Canada where she was said to be living under a different identity. Africa-Online's correspondent was also informed that the half brother of Delu Fowoshere was allegedly being investigated for credit card related offense in Minnesota. He was said to have got the wind that he was being investigated before he escaped to Canada. He too is believed to be currently living in Canada under a different identity. Most Nigerians living in Minneapolis and Saint Paul were said to have not been surprised by the arrest of these suspects as information available indicated that most of the suspects had no visible sources of livelihood but were always seen at parties spraying Dollars like seed. The suspects if convicted could spend up to 30 years in jail as charges preferred them carry a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison. The alleged big boss, Adelumola Bashiru Fowoshere has evaded the law for a long time, He was allegedly known to have fled from London to USA, now he has absconded to Nigeria, Yewande Sholebo now on the run is alleged to have thrown a lavish Ankara Nite birthday party last month in Minneapolis Olayemi Lateef Banjoko just released on bail bond Alleged thieving family : Titilayo bidemi Ayeni, (Middle) and brother, Adekunle kayode Ayeni (right) Oriyomi Enitan Olowosago is believed to be related to the Land speculator family of Ikorodu,Lagos © 2001-2009 Onas Inc.
