The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested 13 suspected Internet fraudsters for conspiracy, possession of fraudulent documents and obtaining money under false pretence.

Spokesman of the commission, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, who disclosed this in a statement on Friday, said the Lagos zonal office of the anti-graft agency effected the arrests.

“They were arrested on Saturday, Dec. 16, 2017, in some parts of Lagos and Ogun states, following intelligence report received by the commission about their activities.

“The suspects allegedly confessed to being involved in phishing, love scam, forgery, spoofing and business email compromise, among other offences,” he said.

Phishing is an attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details (and money), often for malicious reasons, by disguising as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

Spoofing, on the other hand, is a type of scam where an intruder attempts to gain unauthorised access to a user’s system or information by pretending to be the user.

According to the EFCC spokesman, some of the suspects live flamboyantly without any known sources of income and are said to have bought houses and exotic cars from the proceeds of their criminal activities.

He said they were allegedly found to be in possession of forged contract papers of multinational oil and gas companies, banks’ instruments and forged data page of international passports of foreign nationals, among other documents.

Other items recovered from the suspects, he stated, included laptops, flash drives, modems, one Range Rover SUV, one Toyota Highlander, Two Toyota Corolla and one Toyota Camry.

Uwujaren added that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded.

Scre.w the EFCC.

Do I support these guys?no.

Are they violent robbers?no. Did they kidnap anybody?no. Are most of them graduates that have tried without getting any kind of job?yes.

Scre.w Buhari and the APC Government that has turned everybody into something else before they turn beggars.

If the EFCC is serious about arresting yahoo boys,then they should start with the inventors of yahoo in Nigeria from the letter posting days,like Rochas Okorocha, Orji Uzor Kalu, Paschal Ugbomhe,Jarrett Tenebe and the drug/yahoo kingpin Kashamu.

Half of those holding Legislative Positions in Nigeria,especially from the Eastern and Southern Axis are/were Yahoo guys.

Leave the boys looking for Christmas Rice money only alone.
