If you or someone you know is age 60 or older and has been a victim of financial fraud, help is standing by at the National Elder Fraud Hotline: 1-833-FRAUD-11 (1-833-372-8311). This U.S. Department of Justice hotline, managed by the Office for Victims of Crime, is staffed by experienced professionals who provide personalized support to callers by assessing the needs of the victim, and identifying relevant next steps. Case managers will identify appropriate reporting agencies, provide information to callers to assist them in reporting, connect callers directly with appropriate agencies, and provide resources and referrals, on a case-by-case basis. Reporting is the first step. Reporting can help authorities identify those who commit fraud and reporting certain financial losses due to fraud as soon as possible can increase the likelihood of recovering losses. The hotline is staffed 10am-6pm Eastern Time, Monday-Friday. English, Spanish, and other languages are available.

This is why things work in those places. They are always proactive. Resources have been put in place to address these situations and prevent relationship frauds from getting so easy.

Come back to Nigeria. An innocent retiree, a University student or a local trader or businessman walk into a Nigerian bank to complain about their funds being stolen online even when they have evidently been very careful with their information, including refusing to declare their Pin, card info or OTP to any random strangers.

Knowing that all avenues for funds to be stolen have been well observed and not breached by the complainants, one will expect that the bank pursue the recovery of such funds determinedly or at worst locate and duly report the culprit to the authorities.

However what they do next is to tell the complainants that "sorry, there is nothing we can do to help". They refuse to acknowledge that their platform may have been compromised in some manner, which is the case in some of these frauds. That access bank is very notorious for that. Even an arrested fraudster claims that it was easiest with Access bank and First bank to use their USSD to hack into customers account once they lay their hands on the phone.

Before anyone tries to ask why anyone would be careless with their phone, know that stolen phones of users on other banks does not open their USSD to fraudulent use, so you should why the problem is with Access or First banks

The Law works here

The law works in the US and other western countries mainly because the citizens have a totally different moral vision, ethics, selflessness and care for their own society. Unlike Nigeria and other African countries where everyone is mainly looking out for their own pockets, greed and selfishness.

I did a search on the Kenneth Emeni guy and except there are 2 Kenneth Emenis in Virginia, greed was what ruined this fella.

Guy was a graduate assistant with a 4.0 GPA undertaking his masters at the Marshall University in W.Virginia.

Kenneth Emeni, 29, a citizen of Nigeria residing in Martinsburg, was involved from at least August 2017 to October 8, 2020, with Kenneth Ogudu, also known as Kenneth Lee, John Nassy, Romello Thorpe, Oluwagbenga Harrison, Ouluwabamishe Awolesi, and others in a money laundering conspiracy that took place in Huntington and elsewhere.

No Yoruba fraudster here, it's the same guy using fake Yoruba names. Read and comprehend before posting.

As part of his plea agreement, Emeni agreed to pay $904,126.96 in restitution.

This is the part I always highlight that a lot of us don't usually pay attention to. Besides prison time, there is always restitution.
