Aussie conned in internet love scam


Authorities say an Australian woman who fell in love online was duped out of nearly $US50,000 ($A54,095) by a Nigerian man who said he was her Mr Right.

.Lawal Adewale Nurudeen was sentenced to 19 years in prison and ordered to repay the woman. On Monday, Nigeria's anti-graft agency said about $US9,300 ($A10,061) that had been gathered so far would be returned.

Nigerian authorities say the 28-year-old man presented himself as a Briton working in Nigeria for a multinational company. Nurudeen told the 56-year-old woman he was a widower whose wife and only child had died in a car accident.

Authorities say a few weeks later he called the woman, introducing himself as a doctor and saying her "fiance" needed money for medical treatment following an accident.
