A 29-year-old Nigerian man whose email scams aimed to defraud businesspeople from Singapore to Switzerland out of millions of dollars was sentenced to five years in a US federal prison.

The United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Geoffrey S. Newman, announced on Tuesday, September 11.

“Onyekachi Emmanuel Opara attempted to dupe thousands of victims into transferring money to him and his co-defendant in a phony email scheme,” said Geoffrey Berman.

Opara, 29, and a partner were arrested in South Africa in December 2016 and extradited to the US from Johannesburg in January of this year.

According to the New York FBI’s Complex Frauds and Cybercrimes Unit, he allegedly cooked up business email scams that targeted thousands of companies worldwide.

In these scams, Opara and fellow conspirators pretended to be supervisors at the target companies or third-party vendors, and emailed company employees requesting payments or information.

The emails, however, were sent from accounts with domain names very similar to those of the companies or vendors, or accounts whose metadata had been changed so it seemed like the emails were coming from a familiar address.

Once victims transferred funds, investigators say Opara quickly sucked them away to other bank accounts controlled by him and his partners. Investigators estimate that he attempted to steal $25 million in this way.

In a separate scam, Opara created a dating profile, posing as a young, attractive woman called “Barbara.”

Striking up relationships with men online, “Barbara” would convince them to send money overseas to accounts Opara controlled.

One victim transferred $600,000 to “Barbara”--money which landed in the bank accounts of Opara’s co-conspirators.

In addition to his five-year sentence, Opara has been ordered to pay $2.5 million in restitution.

“The global reach of our office and the FBI ensured that Opara will serve time in the United States for his crimes,” said Berman.

Read the full press release below....
"Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that ONYEKACHI EMMANUEL OPARA was sentenced today in Manhattan federal court to 60 months in prison based upon OPARA’s participation in fraudulent business email compromise scams that targeted thousands of victims in the United States and around the world. Through these scams, OPARA and his co-conspirators attempted to defraud victims of over $25 million. On April 11, 2018, OPARA pled guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud before U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty, who imposed today’s sentence."

U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said;
“From halfway around the world, Onyekachi Emmanuel Opara ran a global email scam business that victimized thousands of people out of millions of dollars. The global reach of our Office and the FBI ensured that Opara will serve time in the United States for his crimes.”

According to the allegations in the Indictment to which OPARA pled guilty and statements made at the plea and sentencing proceedings;
"Between 2014 and 2016, OPARA and his co-defendant, David Chukwuneke Adindu (“Adindu”), participated in multiple business email compromise (“BEC”) scams that targeted thousands of victims around the world, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Switzerland, Sweden, New Zealand, and Singapore. OPARA sent bogus emails to employees of the victim companies directing that funds be transferred to specified bank accounts. The emails purported to be from supervisors at those companies or from third party vendors with whom the companies did business.

In reality, the emails were either sent from email accounts with domain names very similar to those of the companies and vendors, or the metadata for the emails was modified to make it appear as if the emails had been sent from legitimate email addresses.

After victims transferred the funds as directed in the bogus emails, the funds were quickly withdrawn or transferred to other bank accounts controlled by scheme participants. In total, the BEC scam participants attempted to steal more than $25 million from victims around the world.

In furtherance of the BEC scams, OPARA created accounts on dating websites and entered into online romantic relationships with individuals in the United States by portraying himself as a young attractive woman named “Barbara.” “Barbara” would then instruct these individuals in the United States to send their money overseas and/or to receive money from BEC scams and forward the proceeds to other scheme participants located overseas.

For example, one victim with whom OPARA struck up a romantic relationship sent over $600,000 of the victim’s own money to bank accounts controlled by scheme participants at OPARA’s direction. OPARA also attempted to recruit at least 14 other individuals via dating websites to receive funds from BEC scams into their bank accounts and then transfer the proceeds to overseas bank accounts.

OPARA was arrested on December 22, 2016, in Johannesburg, South Africa, and was extradited to the Southern District of New York on January 26, 2018.

* * *

In addition to the prison term, OPARA, 30, of Lagos, Nigeria, was sentenced to two years of supervised release and was ordered to pay $2.5 million in restitution.

On June 20, 2017, Adindu pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit identity theft. On December 14, 2017, Judge Crotty sentenced Adindu to 41 months in prison and ordered him to pay approximately $1.4 million in restitution.

Mr. Berman praised the investigative work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Mr. Berman also thanked Oath’s E-Crime Investigations Team, the National Prosecuting Authority for South Africa, the South African Police Service, and the United States Marshals Service. Mr. Berman noted that the investigation is ongoing.

This case is being handled by the Office’s Complex Frauds and Cybercrime Unit. Assistant United States Attorneys Andrew K. Chan and Daniel Loss are in charge of the prosecution."

Police in Kuala Lumpur detained 25 foreigners including Nigerians, who were part of a Love Scam syndicate in six raids conducted in the Klang Valley.

Speaking during the Press conference at the Federal Police headquarters on Thursday, September 13, Datuk Ahmad Noordin Ismail, Federal Police Commercial Crimes Investigation Department deputy director (cyber crime and multimedia investigations) said the foreigners, who were Nigerians, Tanzanians and Thai nationals, aged between 21 and 40.

“Various devices including laptops, mobile phones and ATM cards used by the suspects were also confiscated during the operation. Checks on the devices showed over 1,500 people from China, Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, United States and Malaysia who were under the syndicate’s surveillance as potential victims," he said.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that 10 cases involving an overall loss of RM500,000 were linked to this syndicate reported nationwide,” he added.

Ahmad Noordin said modus operandi employed by the syndicate involve posing as middle-aged man who was looking for a life partner.

He would then befriend victims through Facebook and gain their trust.

“After gaining the victim’s trust, the syndicate would inform the former that it would send a parcel containing cash and jewellery as a symbol of their relationship. The victims would then receive a phone call for an individual saying that the parcel was detained by the authorities and that they would need to pay a certain amount to recover it.

“The suspect would also use a third party banking facilities by asking the victim to surrender their ATM cards through postal service,” he said.

Ahmad Noordin said the suspects were being remanded to facilitate investigation under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating and Section 6 (1) of the Immigration Act 1959/1963.

“The public are advised to be apply extra cautious when using social media and not to fall prey to people they befriend through the application. Also, don’t ever give access of your bank accounts to criminals as this could land account holders into trouble and could be investigated under Section 424 of the Penal Code,” he said.

A Nigerian man sacrificed his cardigan for his girlfriend and wore her girly crop top to save her from getting into trouble and she rewarded him in a beautiful way.

The young man with the Twitter handle @EchewaDignity said his girlfriend had on a crop top and her matron was going to penalize her for it, so he exchanged his cardigan with her crop top and had to drive off wearing the girly top.

But, at the end of the day, the girlfriend made him a nice pot of steaming banga soup.

A Nigerian lady has shared her sad story of how her husband was murdered by Boko Haram members and how she turned to Codeine and weed for comfort.

Narrating her story to Bits by Borno, she said;
''There were so many losses in my life. My father died. My husband was killed by Bokoharam. I was happily married and my husband was a driver.

He drove big trucks from Lagos to Maiduguri and provided everything for me. We were so happy. I have a daughter Khadijah who now lives with my mother.

When my husband was killed, I didn’t want to move in with her and her husband. I didn’t want to be the reason her marriage failed. Because I didn’t like the man she married after my father died.

So I went to live with my uncle. And you know when a house isn’t your home, you face so many things. I was mistreated badly in the house and my clothes were thrown out. His family kicked me out of their house. I didn’t know where to go or what to do.

And that was when I decided to move in with one of my friends and they introduced me to this lifestyle. I take about four bottles of codeine, I smoke weed and also swallow tablets. I don’t think too much when I take all of these. I feel happy"

They (love, lust and infatuation) all look alike at the beginning but soon show their actual colour.

You need to know as early as possible what you are feeling for the opposite sex to either back out on time before you do something stupid or pursue your object of attention with vigour!

Here is the difference.

1. LOVE begins with an attraction, a special feeling for someone. You like them, admire them, respect them and likes to spend time with them.

INFATUATION begins with a strong, intense feeling for someone that focuses basically on physical attributes like her blue eyes, his well-chiselled Jaw or her curvy body. It is called “falling head over heels in love” because of the whirlwind feelings that come with it. It focuses more on the physical than lasting attributes.

LUST: Begins with a strong, intense feeling of strong sexual desire.

2. LOVE focuses on giving and how to make the life of this person better without seeking anything in return.

INFATUATION focuses on giving unreasonably as a bait to get “love” and a relationship in return.

LUST focuses on giving to get sex in return. After the sex, it focuses on taking and taking.

3. LOVE waits for sex: it controls its sexual feelings till the wedding night.

INFATUATION always desire and yearn for sex.

LUST is impatient for sex. It can’t wait to have sex. It asks for sex as soon as possible.

4. LOVE makes sacrifices to help the other person achieve greatness.

INFATUATION can make sacrifices, but it must get something in return.

LUST can also make sacrifices, but it must get sex in return.


5. LOVE sticks with you regardless of the problem you face.
INFATUATION runs away at the sight of problems.

LUST create problems for you and disappears into thin air!
6. LOVE admires the person’s total package: character, beauty, handsomeness, spirituality, weaknesses, and strength.

INFATUATION only focuses on beauty/physical attraction and strengths. It despises them for their weaknesses.
LUST focuses on the body alone.

7. LOVE is rational, down to earth honest and truthful to the other person.

INFATUATION is irrational, very emotional, pretends a lot and do uncomfortable things always to get acceptance from their partner. E.g., she bleaches her skin to get him to like her more. He steals or borrows an unreasonable amount of money to buy her things so she can keep “loving” him.

LUST pretends and lies a lot to get sex.

uckennety:
Your right

But stop saying that student visa is the surest
I went for masters look
Am not up to 30yrs
And I went to study a computer engineering course
I paid for everything including accommodation for 6months





See reason for the refusal

You will see it makes no sense

I was so thorough and I went to embassy before I applied and took list of their requirement
I gave them every letter all documents were verifiable and legit.

Visa is try your luck

Its gamble

Hmmm...

Thanks for the enlightenment though.

It's very sad that they don't give a sensible reason for denying you a visa when you provided all the documents needed.

What's your plan now?

Still going to Korea or you're choosing another country?

According to this Nigerian lady on Twitter ;
"I've been keeping this thing since last year, anytime I have much cash at hand I just put it inside. A friend of mine told me it's diabolic so I decided to open it. When I opened it I found just 800 naira inside. I'm still in shock. This thing is truly diabolic."

How is this possible? See people's reactions below;
