Police in India have busted a cyber fraud gang and arrested two Nigerian nationals for allegedly duping women through 73 fake profiles on Instagram.

The suspects identified as 29-year-old Rawlings Oshuor and 28-year-old Yao Theophile, were arrested in Delhi by cybercrime sleuths from Vadodara, Gujarat at the weekend.

During interrogation, the duo revealed that they have duped many people across India.

“We confiscated their mobile phones and checked the contents. They had made 73 different Instagram accounts to dupe people, especially women. Interestingly, names of all the accounts started with Alex,” said Hardik Makadia, Assistant Commissioner of Police (cybercrime).

The police said that they used to download photos and videos of some good-looking man called Alex and post those pictures on the bogus Instagram ids.

“They send friend requests to women from these bogus IDs and befriend them. Many unsuspecting users see the photos on these Instagram accounts and fall for them thinking they are genuine,” Makadia said.

The accused then starts sharing sob stories of his family or telling the victims that his wife has died.

When the victim develops an emotional relationship, the accused would then take the next step and start talking about gifts.

“They would tell the women that they were sending expensive gifts from abroad and asked the victims to pay for the customs or excise duty. Some women fell for the trick and paid the money,” Makadia added.

The victims transferred money online following which the duo used to cut off all contact.

They had targeted a woman in Vadodara who later filed a complaint with the cybercrime police station.

“We tracked down the duo from Delhi from where they have been running this racket. We have seized 25 mobile phones too,” Makadia said.

You this coconut head

From the names it's clear they're Ghanaians, please cut Nigeria some slacks and understand that not all crimes are carried out by us. A lot of opportunists are using our lack of good diplomats to hang so much crimes on our necks; many of these ambassadors do not have any business in foreign lands as they do not act on anything apart from passport issuance and exploitation. You would expect the ambassador to India to be directly involved in establishing the nationalities of these guys now

That purple bathrobe says alot...

But nah end credits Dem dey so

Those are Ghanaian names op. Bush man
