U.S Treasury Sanctions 6 Nigerian Cyber Actors For Targeting U.S Businesses by thompsons: 11:52pm On Jun 16, 2020 |
WASHINGTON – Today, in a coordinated action with the U.S. Department of Justice, the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took action against six Nigerian nationals for conducting an elaborate scheme to steal over six million dollars from victims across the United States. The individuals designated today targeted U.S. businesses and individuals through deceptive global threats known as business email compromise (BEC) and romance fraud. American citizens lost over $6,000,000 due to these individuals’ BEC fraud schemes, in which they impersonated business executives and requested and received wire transfers from legitimate business accounts. Money was also stolen from innocent Americans by romance fraud, in which the designees masqueraded as affectionate partners to gain trust from victims.https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm1034 4 Likes 4 Shares

...........took action against six Nigerian nationals for conducting an elaborate scheme to steal over six million dollars from victims across the United States.Multiply the 6 of them ages all together, that should be their jail time. Chikena. Bastard criminals that keep soiling the name of our darling nation everywhere. With all the great opportunities they have over there, crime is the only thing inside their empty head. Oles, ndi ohi, thieves, barawos. You will see the people that see them as their role models in life coming here to support their crimes. Na inside prison all of una go end las las. Lazy youths! Jimwils: Kicktaker:These fraudulent thieves is not about name checking, it exists all over the tribes in Nigeria. Only the Hausas may be exempted to a high degree. Call a spade a spade and not an Agricultural implement! tillaman:Don't rush. FBI and INTERPOL no dey rush. Be patient for the UPDATE!! Prophet Phyno has said it all 2 years ago!!!

Report didn’t state whether these people were resident in Nigeria or the US. Not even their nationalities. Report should be more specific. Meanwhile Nigeria’s ID system needs to evolve better to cope with today’s standards. Everyone should be able to be identified by their phone numbers and BVNs, plus police should be better funded and cleansed of corruption so they could better do their jobs... not dismissing the fact that government should do better with wealth creation opportunities to assist with the high unemployment rate in the Nigeria 12 Likes 1 Share |

Welcome to Nigeria where the educated South (igbo, yoruba, etc) cannot find themselves any meaningful employment, hence some decided to involve themselves in crimes like yahoo, etc. While the illiterate North is constituting nuisance with bokoharam, bandit, iswap, etc Add the above two variables and what you have a a bad name for Nigeria, which lack of Leadership and gross irresponsibility of the political elites have been the common denominator that caused all these. Since project Nigeria have proved not to work, how long shall we continue to answer this bad name? Let us balkanize this country into manageable confederations and develope at our own pace, where youths will be engaged with meaningful employment. The earlier we tell our selves this truth the better for us. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Yahoo boys have succeeded in ruining the reputation of Nigeria and Nigerians globally, there by making it extremely difficult for the legit ones to transact business or offer services online and in real time. They see an average Nigerian as a dishonest person and should be stayed away from. The Nigerian government needs to do more locally, extremely stiffer penalty for these fraudsters, to at least deter others. 20 Likes |
