Dem plenty. One of them just defrauded the city of Saskatoon for over $1million this week using this same format. When you defraude a company for such large amount of money, the FBI or the CSIS will come for you.

When were kids visiting the village during summer break, one very old toothless man used to say " in this life we're in, wealth/money has a big secret. It's not by working under the scotching sun from dawn to dusk that one makes it".

People used to laugh and say old baba should just admit that he prefers morning kaikai drink than going to farm. cheesy cheesy grin

But if you look at it, the old man was right.

Many so-called "self-made" men have a very dark secret. Most invented no product, nothing unique that others are not doing in the sector, etc.

Sometimes AMCON reveals their antics, others better connected get away with it. Since EFCC is now a political tool.

Crimes never pays.

That is why I still tell people to beware of this dude here.

His name is Emmanuel Damilare and his last known phone numbers are not reachable. I paid him for services and he never delivered them but disappeared till date without trace.
Let me guess,you saw a post on Nairaland about sales of a product or delivery of services,you contacted the Op and discussed,he asked you to send money and you didhuh
People like you are the reason scammers keep coming here with all the warning we give here daily. They know they will meet idiots who are so dull and ready to part with their money shior undecided
Anyone scammed on Nairaland has 70% of the blame. There are lots of awareness here against scammers,if you get scammed I blame you more.

Shut up there, you fool. I never said I met the guy online or on nairaland.

He scammed me last year and I only shared his details online so others will not fall victim.

You will not read post well before putting your dirty mouth. Ozuwor....

A Forbes-rated young Nigerian billionaire and CEO of Invictus Group, Obinwanne Okeke has been arrested by America's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) over a $12 million (N4.3bn) fraud.

It is not clear how he made the list of Forbes’ 100 Most Influential Young Africans 2018, it should however be noted that he founded the Invictus Group of Companies, an investment conglomerate dealing in construction, agriculture, oil and gas, renewable energy, telecoms, and real estate.  Invictus Group operates in three African countries, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zambia. His company was named as Africa’s Most Innovative Investment Company of the Year by African Brand Congress in 2017. 

He was arrested last week on the last day of his trip to the United States for allegedly defrauding top American companies of huge sums. Notably, he allegedly scammed $12m from a steel company by hacking into an executive’s office365 account and sending an email with a fake invoice to the purchase department. His arrest came after Special Agent Marshall Ward of the FBI and the team he heads opened up an investigation in July 2018, following a petition by Unatrac Holding Limited. 

The charge sheet reads in part “In June 2018, Unatrac Holding Limited, the export sales office for Caterpillar heavy industrial and farm equipment, headquartered in the United Kingdom, contacted the FBI. They reported that Unatrac had been victimised through an email compromise, which ultimately resulted in fraudulent wire transfers totalling nearly 11million US Dollars. After reviewing the documentation provided by the representatives, the FBI opened an investigation in July 2018.

"The FBI discovered that after capturing the legitimate credentials of Unatrac’s Chief Financial Officer, the accused was able to log in and access the CFO’s entire Office365 account, which included all of his emails and various digital files, the logs indicated that between April 6 and April 20, 2018, the intruder accessed the CFO’s account 464 times, mostly from Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from Nigeria.

“With full access to the account, the intruder sent fraudulent wire transfer requests from the CFO’s email account to members of Unatrac’s internal financial team. The intruder also attached fake invoices to the emails to enhance the credibility of the requests,” the investigator stated. The investigation, painstaking and far-reaching, lasted more than a year during which Obinwanne emerged as the principal culprit and has since been arrested while on his regular visit to the United States."

Before his arrest, Obinwanne Okeke was a celebrated businessman who had a 'grass to grace' story on Forbes. The arrested suspect is said to be the 17th child of a polygamous father who died when he was 16, and he reportedly moved from one relative to another before moving Australia where he “did all kinds of jobs just to survive.”  He became a viral sensation after he got featured in 'Forbes Africa’s 30 Under 30' list in 2016. 

The young Nigerian who accepted an offer to be a Contributor for Forbes Magazine and published his first essay in May 2017, has however been arrested by the FBI for allegedly being a fraudster which is popularly known as 'yahoo-yahoo' in Nigeria.
