Operation wire-wire. Quite hilarious

This FBI be lying like crazy, how can you say that more than a billion dollars has been lost from 2016 to date

E go plenty pass sef. Na the one wey people report be that.
Only invictus collect $10m. Some people go collect 30m etc

With all the hoopla about yahoo money (while politicians who've stolen much more from the treasury continue to hold public office) let's even assume all those funds entered Nigeria's banks & those figures would represent the better part of Nigeria's non-oil foreign exchange earnings

But I bet the significance is lost on this government of dullards who will also never see the double standard in play here. . . .

America warehouses both our stolen funds & the foreign reserves left over, using these monies to trade while at the same time hounding Nigeria because of yahoo and tying up our our law-enforcement apparatus for the purpose of plugging the leaks in her own porous financial system.

Please give Igbos their country so that we can make it a prison.

Wtf
CEO/CFO Wire boys

And with all their fvcking ill-gotten wealth, nothing to show for it. Wasted it all on material fvcking things, booze and hoes. They've damaged the society at large, with easy money girls now only give yawu-yawu boys attention making hard working guys wanna go into illegitimate means.

What's the difference between them and the fvcking politicians whose continued corrupt practice, someone tell me.

Yawu boys who dont know jack shit about the Arab-pepertrated sub-saharan enslavement of blax which occured long before the popular trans-Atlantic slavery have stolen billions of dollars into this mere geographical expressional excuse of a a country and yet nothing tangible to show for it other than to consume, consume and consume.

Did they build any major industry like there are in developed and advanced nations with all their I'll gotten blood-forsaken money ?

Yet they continue to wallow in the deluded justification that they are simply taking back our money the whites got from slavery by ascribing reason for their internet crimes.

Took them weeks and months to steal, takes one second to give it back by purchasing exquisite cars, expensive drinks and exorbitant jewelry all of which are not made/manufactured here but imported from the same countries their breathe depends on.

Oyinbo hackers and smart guys utilize their skills to conduct information epionage by enterkng secured and classified target and steal blueprint and prototype of emerging and or advanced tech stuff and bring it to their country while ours just continue to ruin the image of a failed country with no real laws / justice but where chaos has now attained fvcking entropy.

F.B.I. dare not relent on your pursuit and investigations. Never trust EFCC all the way.

May God bless you my brother, they only want to oppress, nothing else , thats why they wanted to be rich, they use the money to cause more problems, fools thinking they are smart, they still all end broke last last.

Nigerian scammers are stealing BILLIONS of dollars

By Cleve R. Wootson Jr.
June 12, 2018 at 2:56 PM

The FBI said June 11 it made 74 arrests in connection with 419 Nigerian email scams. The Post's Cleve R. Wootson Jr. explains how these scams have managed to be so successful. (Allie Caren/The Washington Post)

Savvy people already know it’s a bad idea to trust an email from a Nigerian prince hoping to use their bank account to unload a dead relative’s vast wealth.

And they’re just as suspicious of the sudden Internet-based love interest with questionable grammar who needs a few thousand untraceable dollars to clear up a passport issue in time for a magical first date.

But in a sophisticated and terrifying evolution of the Nigerian 419 scam, web-savvy crime syndicates are figuring out ways to bilk U.S. citizens of billions.

On Monday, the FBI announced the arrest of 74 people across the world — including 29 people in Nigeria and 41 in the United States — who authorities say were part of complex international networks that combed filings by the Securities and Exchange Commission, spoofed CEO emails and successfully targeted even hardened employees whose jobs are to safeguard their companies from financial mismanagement.

The recent scams have the same DNA as the poorly worded emails that have been showing up in people’s inboxes since the 1990s. Instead of playing on hopes of finding love or lust for sudden wealth, they play on fears about missing a vital company payment or upsetting a boss’s boss.

“[Scammers] are doing their research … going onto company websites and looking for the right people,” FBI Assistant Director Scott Smith, who helped lead the investigation, told the Wall Street Journal. “They may even go as far as pulling annual reports and finding what companies they do business with and [impersonating] those accounts.”

Adeyemi Odufuye and his team, for example, sifted SEC records, company websites and other business documents, looking for the names and email addresses of chief executives, chief financial officers and controllers, court documents say.

Odufuye, who had a half dozen nicknames, including “Jefe,” the Spanish word for “chief” or “boss,” led a crew responsible for stealing $2.6 million, including $440,000 from one business in Connecticut, according to the Justice Department.

The schemes used a variety of tactics to gain people’s trust and steal their money, federal authorities say. They registered website domain names that were hard to distinguish from the companies they were targeting — impersonations meant to give emails an air of authenticity. Some of those emails arrived with malware attachments that would snap images of a victim’s desktop or transmit key log information — a hacker trick for nabbing someone’s password.

They even employed money mules whose sole purpose was to move the ill-gotten gains from account to account, authorities say, disguising the electronic paper trail from investigators.

Odufuye was extradited from Britain on Jan. 3. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft.

The arrests highlighted just how many people are falling for the latest iterations of the Nigerian hustle, as well as the staggering losses American businesses are accruing. According to FBI figures obtained by the Journal, victims of such scams reported $275 million in losses in 2015. By 2017, reported losses had more than doubled, to $675 million. And in the first quarter of this year, more than 4,000 victims reported $685 million in losses. The bureau estimates American businesses have lost more than $3.7 billion as a result of the schemes.

Since January 2015, the FBI estimated last year, there has been a 1,300 percent increase in identified exposed losses from similar scams. On Monday, the FBI issued a public service announcement about the scams.

Last year, FBI Special Agent Martin Licciardo, an organized crime investigator, said such crimes are “a serious threat on a global scale. The ability of these criminal groups to compromise legitimate business email accounts is staggering. … They are experts at deception.”

Scammers target businesses of all sizes, sometimes spending months studying a company’s organizational chart, the FBI said. They target people who frequently transfer large amounts of money and sensitive records in the course of business. They impersonate executives, human relations staff, law firms and trusted vendors. They usually insist that whatever bogus issue they’ve raised be cleared up as soon as possible, often by an immediate wire transfer. Discretion is often advised.

Says who? In the recent fraud case of invictus, wasn't it UK interest they were protecting?

Invictus was arrested in US and will be tried in the United States. Get your facts straight ok.

Again, the job of the FBI is "to protect American interest and not Nigerians".

Nobody is arguing with you on where he was arrested or being tried? FBI became interested in Invictus as a person because a UK company complained about being dupe. And the FBI can work for the interest of any country or company so far you contact them..

Go get your fact straight ok?

Not true. Go back to what prompted my response to you. FBI steps only steps in to defend and protect US interest, which includes mine. FBI cannot work for the interest of any other Country apart from US. Period!

Trutherme is right bro and you are so wrong. Please correct yourself by even stating that FBI's interest is for others beside America. That statement of yours is ridiculous and absurd.
