The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested Edoboryi Osaruese Leerees, 23, a fake Jumia agent in Benin City, Edo State.

Leerees was arrested following a petition by a lady who claimed to have paid him over One Million Naira (N1,000,000) for the supply of goods which she and her friends ordered from his page online but never got the items.

According to the lady, Leerees sent her a message on WhatsApp and told her he was an agent of Jumia and pledged with her to help him market his products which were on sales at 40% discount.

When the lady saw how attractive the prices were, she and her two friends credited his accounts with the sum of One Million Naira (N1,000,000) and waited for the delivery of their goods.

However, when days elapsed and the goods were not forthcoming, she went to Jumia office to make enquiry and discovered that Leerees was not an agent but a fraud and then decided to petition the EFCC after he refused to refund her money.

Leerees modules operandi was to use his social media platforms as an agent of Jumia to advertise goods which are purportedly on promo at cheaper prices. This make genuine but unsuspecting customers to send money into his account for the goods to be delivered to them which were never delivered.

Investigations further revealed that Leerees is an internet fraudster and has defrauded several people. He operates with the name Vin Diesel and Mark Sinclair, an American and has obtained money from foreign nationals.

The suspect has made useful statement and would be changed to court soon.

We need longer jail sentences for these guys....if person know say he go use 20 years for prison for fraud...he go think am twice

Nawao.. Everything evil is happening in Edo State.

I pity people that marry from there. Just very few people who marry from there are far from deep life troubles.

will she be refunded

Everything about Nigeria reeks fraud and corruption.

I stopped buying things online after several attempts. They will never send the exact thing you ordered. If ordered a foreign clothe, they will package Aba-made stuff to you.

I don't think there is any law in our constitution that allows for a stiff penalty to all this fraudsters, since the constitution was written in 1999, internet fraud was not prominent then.

If they can start giving them stiff penalty, I believe some people would think twice before going into fraud.

Effc don't even have a serious work to do again self,, 4th eyes should also arrest the girl for buying a cheap market, Ole

Nawa oo, we are still on vin diesel's case, you are here looking for who to scam. Thunder fire u oooo.

There are many on Jiji claiming Jumia workers

Greed always prevents reasoning. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

On the issue of domain flipping. I checked out Flippa, but the prices were quite high for blogs with reasonable names. The ones that were below $2k didn't have standard tlds. Got any cheaper platform you could recommend?

What is not good is bad.

Everybody na scam

It's just get harder to catch them. Nigerian scammers are actually smart (well a few select though), thus stiffer penalties won't help. The only solution to fraud which I know of cannot be applied due to incessant corruption in the nation. Plus, I no be rat, so I no go talk am come out

Everytime they post anything like effcc stuff instead of this stupid mtn scammers should back off yet they will still come and post shit again

Hmm! Inside Benin!








I sell cheap and super neat laptops with free delivery and pay on delivery.

Details on signature.

In Benin too many criminals,
That state ehnnn, e been like like evil land...
