Some local touts (area boys) in Lagos popularly known as 'Leaders of Tomorrow' boasted to a BBC reporter in Lagos how they collect money by force from shops whenever they are broke. During an interview with the foreign reporter, one of the touts said they have no jobs but control some areas with shops in Lagos and how they collect money from traders...anyone he refuses to give them will be slapped and dealt with seriously...

They also revealed that they can kill anybody anyhow and collect money by force. One of them named ‘Cross and Die’ explained his name to mean, anyone who crosses his part knowingly or otherwise most surely be killed by him, he dramatically and boastfully said.

My bro,Nigeria is not UAE,but constant news like this affects our reputation. The outside world see us Nigerians and not Igbo,Yoruba or hausa.
Thank you.

mailemy:
It's pathetic the way we bring news like this on this forum. Wether igbo,yoruba or Hausa. The world see us as Nigeria and these things affects our reputation. Crime is being committed in other parts of the world. In the UAE, you dare not share these kinds of news on any social platform because it's being monitored and one can be persecuted if found guilty. How many times have heard about its citizen comiited a crime.
When will we learn to protect our reputation?

AMCON should also sell River Niger and Benue and Univeristy of Nigeria Nsukka to him.


Since Dangote is the only Nigerian businessman.
Nonsense

The Asset Management Company of Nigeria says it is close to selling Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Ltd to Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, and two Nigerian states.

AMCON’s Chief Executive, Ahmed Kuru, told Reuters that all processes on the bids were completed about two months ago and all that is left is the approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Dangote, in alliance with the states of Kaduna and Kebbi and the Bank of Industry, made a bid to acquire a majority stake in PAN last year after AMCON moved to sell off some of the assets it acquired in the wake of the banking crisis.







The automaker is worth over N15 billion.

Peugeot Automobile, a Nigerian vehicle assembly plant located in Kaduna State, has Psa Peugeot Citroen as its technical partner with a capacity to assemble 90,000 cars a year.

Yes it is a bad thing already.. what are we doing about it.. laundering our image will fail because the image is too dirty to launder, we need to stop praising the lifestyle that breeds this and start demonstrating that we can deal with poverty and corruption.. so I fail to see the point here.. Nigerian SCAMS have been in the public face since the 0s with scamming penpals with postal orders.. it has been a well known crime specifically made phenomenal not only by Nigerians abroad but by Nigerians at home as well.. so what if it is a public forum.. the disgrace goes on all over the world where Nigeria is mentioned. the OP's post does not add a mile to the already negative media we are getting. Nigerian Online Fraud is far more popular than Boko-Haram and ISIS put together. it is so popular it has attained cult status in Western Movies.. i don't see why you would think this single post is doing far more damage than our inept and cruel corrupt politicians and her ignorant citizenry .. I don't see the point. whether he posts news about scams there are over 100 thousand records of Nigerian SCAMS originating from Nigeria alone talkless of other countries. DEAL WITH IT

On our way

Three Nigerian scammers who befriended many of their victims on dating sites have been slammed huge prison sentences by a Mississippi court after making tens of millions of dollars from their schemes.


Oladimeji Seun Ayelotan, 30, was sentenced to 95 years in prison; Rasaq Aderoju Raheem, 31, was given 115 years and Femi Alexander Mewase, 45, got 25 years behind bars, according to a report by https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com

A court in the Southern District of Mississippi had in February found them all guilty of crimes including mail fraud, wire fraud, identity theft, credit card fraud and theft of government property. Ayelotan and Raheem were also found guilty of conspiracies to commit bank fraud and money laundering.

Dating back to at least 2001, the scammers were involved in multiple internet fraud schemes, resulting in losses in the tens of millions, according to the Department of Justice.

It claimed that they would befriend women on dating sites, establish a romantic relationship and then either get them to send money or have them participate in fraud schemes, usually without the victim’s knowledge.

The unsuspecting women would sometimes be required to cash counterfeit checks and money orders; use stolen credit card details to purchase goods; and use stolen personal information to take over victims’ bank accounts.

They were also apparently used to launder money via Western Union and MoneyGram, and re-package and re-ship goods obtained fraudulently.

A whopping 21 defendants have already been charged in this ongoing case, 12 of whom have pleaded guilty to charges involving conspiracy and 11 of whom have been sentenced.

The three Nigerians were among the six extradited from South Africa by US Department of Justice in 2015 to face charges of running a series of scams against gullible Americans over the past 16 years.

Fourteen others resident in the US were also arrested to face trial in Gulfport, Mississippi on nine federal charges, including conspiracy to commit identity theft, wire fraud, bank fraud, theft of US government funds, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The indictment states that since 2001 the accused, were part of a string of scams against Americans, facilitated by internet communications. These include the longstanding 419 scheme, whereby a massive windfall is promised once a small number of payments have been provided, but the DoJ claims it went much further than that.

The team was also accused of running romance stings to bilk the lonely of funds, shipping fraud, running fake work-from-home businesses, check fraud, and plain-old hijacking of other people’s bank accounts and credit cards to divert funds.

Global fraud continues to grow thanks to the internet and an increase in the use of both anonymizing technology and bots designed to mimic human behavior.

ThreatMetrix, which analyzes 20 billion annual transactions, blocked 130 million fraud attempts in Q1 alone, a 35% increase on the same time last year.

However, it is Europe that has become a major fraud hotspot. There were 50% more fraud attempts originating from the region than the US in the quarter, the firm claimed.

Kolababe:
Oga, stop this! How would she have "easily" made away with the money when she could have been easily traced. She should thank her stars she returned it because, if she didn't, the bank would have immediately freeze her account that she won't be able to withdraw the money and she will be arrested.

Gkemz:
It's for her own good because if she had refused to return the money, her account would have been blacklisted and deactivated for fraud. With her BVN detail, she could be traced and arrested by efcc as well.
