Man posing as US soldier allegedly scams woman out of almost $400,000 By Lily Nothling A foreign national from Africa accused of posing as a soldier from the United States in order to groom a woman he met online, has been charged with fraud after allegedly scamming her out of almost $400,000. Key points: A 34-year-old woman began an online romantic relationship with a man in October 2018 via social media The man had a "well-structured backstory" as a US soldier and convinced her to give him close to $400,000 In a "disturbing" twist, the alleged scammer met with the woman, pretending to be an agent for the US soldier in order to collect the money Police said the 34-year-old woman began an online romantic relationship with Cosmos Emeh, 32, after befriending him on social media in October 2018. It is alleged in the following months, she was groomed into believing Mr Emeh was a US soldier, and sent him more than $200,000 through a money transfer service. Police said he then travelled to the woman's house to collect a further $105,000. She became suspicious and reported the matter to police after confiding in a close friend. Detectives from the State Crime Command's Financial and Cyber Crime Group arrested Mr Emeh on Thursday while he was trying to persuade the victim to hand over more money. He has been charged with one count each of fraud and attempted fraud. The court heard Mr Emeh is studying a degree at a Brisbane university and denied having any contact with the alleged victim via the internet. His lawyer told the court he only came into possession of the SIM card used to receive money and contact the alleged victim yesterday. Mr Emeh appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court this morning where he was denied bail. Police also executed a search warrant at a Durack home in Brisbane's west and seized a number of items. Detective Inspector Vince Byrnes from the Financial and Cyber Crime Group said the alleged scammer had cultivated a "well-structured backstory" to deceive the victim. "There was a backstory with this US military officer that involved the loss of close family members," he said. "I would categorise this victim as a well-educated young person who has entered into an online relationship based on what she was told." 'Disturbing case' Detective Inspector Byrnes said when the alleged offender met with the woman to collect money, he pretended to be an agent for the US soldier. He said the in-person pick up was particularly "disturbing". "It's very uncommon in Australia or anywhere around the world to have an offender involved in a scam to physically present themselves for the collection of money," he said. Detective Inspector Byrnes could not say if the woman would get her money back and said police were investigating whether the accused had targeted other victims. "This is a serious crime that has been perpetrated against somebody which can have a devastating emotional and financial effect upon them," he said. "In circumstances like this, these generalised type of scams are not limited to one victim." Detective Inspector Byrnes said people needed to be aware of the "red flags" when forming relationships online. "The camera doesn't work on their phone so you can't Skype, you can't do it face-to-face — it's these types of methodologies used by the scammers to protect their identity," he said. US soldier scam is common internationally Detective Inspector Vince Byrnes addresses the media from a podium at police headquarters. Detective Superintendent Terry Lawrence said it was a common international scam. "The US Army Criminal Investigation Command receives hundreds of complaints a month from people who find themselves involved in an online relationship with someone purporting to be a US soldier," he said. "Usually the offender's interaction with the victim is all online, so this further step of traveling to the victim's home is certainly something we need the public to hear and be warned of today." Police said the case was an "urgent warning" to the public to be wary of relationships developed online. "Take the time to evaluate the relationship, talk to friends and other loved ones about your new relationship online — we are thankful the victim in this instance took this step," Detective Superintendent Lawrence said. https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-11/romance-scam-man-charged-with-fraud/10707828?pfmredir=sm |

Misterpaul:ok, let me go straight the point. My husband did use an agent, cos the guy gave him 100% assurance. It was actually a visit visa. He made a down payment of 250k, and 450 to be paid once visa comes out. I think the guy scammed us. See reason for refusal below

[quote author=ideamaster post=74609763] Have a look at the Aitsl website. It says your application is assessed against 2 criteria. Qualification and English test. They don't require experience. You would have to gather more points from other sources like English test However, your qualification must include supervised teaching practice. thanks and God bless you sir... yes my qualifications include teaching practice both in Nce and BEd and I was well supervised... but how include it (supervised teaching practice)? will I be required to submit any document/records for the teaching practice? thanks in advance |

Xerona: They don't trust 3rd world countries with Sub 600. Most people that had gotten such did so by submitting evidences of them going to conferences in many other country and returning without violating their visas; unless you have such evidence(s), it will be difficult. And y'all suppose attach some tangible evidence of solid link back home. -Landing Property. -Ongoing Business that you are playing a major part in. -Conferences attended* (local & International*) -Then Grace.(what worked for Mr.A may not work for Mr.B) |

Thanks to you all that ekes out your time to attend to the inquires of the prospective Australia immigrants. I'm a nursing student of one of the state universities in Nigeria. I have a plan of migrating to Australia after graduation. I have gone through many threads here about Australia immigration and I must say that I have gained a lot. I decided that immediately after graduation, I will talk to a medical director of a private hospital to give me an employment letter and also to be paying a specific amount of money to my account as an employee for two years. In those two years, I will be running my internship program and also NYSC which I THINK can't stand as years of experience. This is just the plan of a naive fellow. Will this be possible, I need your opinions. Thanks. |
