3 Nigerian Internet Fraudsters That Have Been Caught For More Than 10 Million Dollars ScamInternet fraud is one of the most trending illegal ways of making money in Nigeria.

These days, many young people venture into internet fraud to earn a living.

In Nigeria, most internet fraudsters are youths. These youths want to make quick money, thereby involving themselves in the crime.

At least one day every week, the Economic Financial Crime Commission, EFCC apprehends youths for committing internet fraud. This tell you how rampant the crime has become.

In some cases, these Nigerian fraudsters go as far as attracting the international government officials like the FBI, CIA and others to start investigating their wealth.

In this article, I will be showing you 3 Nigerian fraudsters that have scammed not less than 10 million dollars, approximately 5 billion naira.

1. Hushpuppi

Ramon Abbas popularly known as Hushpuppi was involved in a money laundering scam (business email compromise scams) of over $431 million dollars. During interrogations and investigations, Hushpuppi was said to have worked with some foreign hackers, which aided in carrying out the hundreds of million dollars scam. He recently pleaded guilty to the charges levelled against him in the United States Federal Court, which makes him likely to serve a jail term of 20 years.

2. Emmanuel Nwude


Emmanuel is a Nigerian scammer who impersonated as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria Paul Ogwuma, in order to convince a Brazilian company to buy an imaginary airport which he succeeded in selling for $242 million dollars. His accomplices were Emmanuel Ofolue, Obum Osakwe, Nzeribe Okoli and the Ikechukwu’s, a husband and wife duo. With the help of his accompanists and his new identity as the governor of the central bank, he was able to contact the director of the Brazilian bank, Nelson Sakaguchi.

Emmanuel was able to scam a total of $242 million dollars. He was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment but later released from the fraud case and now serving for murder charges.
