And the police believed him. Shows the Nigerian police is populated with stark illiterates.

Thats what happens when you leave Computer science graduates you are to recruit to tackle cyber crimes and you recruit people on man-know-man basis. Very soon they'll say they finally caught the Nigerian fraudster that designed facebook.

Barryseal:

it is not illiteracy per se.

The guy actually mimicked a working online business model, selling books on amazon is a legit business, same with buying and reselling from alibaba. Payoneer is also a real thing, so guess he got greedy and didn't have the patience to let his Ecommerce business grow.

Don't worry, one day you will be paraded for nothing you know about and people seating in their houses would say "If he was innocent, he wouldn't be caught".

In the past three months alone, I have seen five cases of very innocent persons on Nairaland front page. They were paraded for various offences and later released after several court processes. If I didn't follow up on these cases, I would have been like you, thinking everyone that comes up in the news actually committed a crime.

You have a lot to learn about your country and the NPF.

Lol, I can't be paraded for something I didn't do cos I don't take criminal risks



I don't go close to such, if that's your lot....... Good luck!

Your owns end may be worst. Think of positive, many Nigerians are making cool money without venture into crime

I'm not into yahoo yahoo mister man

Good job by the IRT team. If they didn't catch him, he probably would have been one of those running for Governor in 2023, claiming to be a successful businessman.
The desperation of Nigerians to get rich quick is nauseating.

gwarotango:
you don't hate fraudsters, you actually support them which makes one of them too

You don't know me. My buisness have been directly affected by the negative perception of Nigerians as a result of the activities of these fraudsters. Even here on nairaland I have fought dirty with advocates of fraud. But I like being thorough. This whole claims of setting up payoneer and Amazon is a big insult on my intellect. If you know anything about ecomerce, and Amazon Kindle publishing, you will be riled up just like I am.

Having a registered business with physical goods is not a legal requirement for wealth. We can't continue to encourage this kind of archaic and obnoxious mentality. Which physical goods or office does Tunde Ednut or the anonymous multi millionaire owner of instablog9ja have? Which physical goods does Linda Ikeji sell, and before her recent venture into media production business, which registered company did she have? Come on.

Funny enough the guy is a nairalander

like it is always said "99 days for the thief and 1 day for the owner". those who think is just a foolish saying will always see it come to pass in their actions

Felt like I was reading a James Hardly Chase novel. Dude is a genius but a thief nevertheless.

Barryseal:

I hate cyber fraudsters but I have a feeling this guy is doing a legit buisness. He's an Amazon Kindle publisher and Amazon is a very protected site. No way he can set up a phishing site with a backlink to Amazon. He may have been tortured into admitting he set up "payoneer".
The guy will be walking home free if he gets a good lawyer. The illiteracy in our law enforcement rank and file is staggering. Most of them got into police with forged certificates.

There are irregularities in the news but that guy to me isnt innocent. With the story i understand what he did and how he did it unfortunately sharing the details here will give other thieves like him an idea. But for a tech person you should understand.

Have you guys seen the movie "mokalik(mechanic)"... Ignorance lo n pa awon efcc, naija police mehn.

ALL FRAUDSTERS AND THIEFS SHALL SUFFER BEFORE THE Y DIE IF THEY DIDNT CONFESS

JUST RECENTLY, A MAN JUMPED INTO OUR FENCE AND BROKE MY COROLLA CAR AND STOLE MY BRAIN BOX AND WINDING CONTROLLERS

I AM A YOUNG LADY, STRUGGLED FROM AGE 4 WHEN I LOST MY PARENTS TO THE HANDS OF WICKED MEN COS OF ENVY, WENT TO SCHOOL,FOUGHT AND GOT A JOB, WORKED HARD AND GOT A CAR RECENTLY JUST SAME PERIOD I GOT MARRIED...

AND A MAN,,,, A MAN HAD RENDERED HIMSELF MORE USELESS BY VANDALIZING MY CAR, MY CAR THAT I AM YET TO MASTER DRIVING, MY HUSBAND IS STILL THE ONE DRIVING THE CAR ,,,,,,,,

AND YOU THINK THE GUY WONT BE ATE BY MAGGOT ALIVE!!!!!


THE COUNTRY IS HARD, AND A SENSIBLE HUMAN BEING THINGS ITS BY STEALING THE HARD EARNED INCOME OF OTHERS THAT HE COULD SURVIVE


MAY GOD HANDLE THEM ACCORDINGLY!!!

I feel your pain. I'm sorry about this. Thief's don't have conscience and May they all die a miserable death. Anyone who can steal from you can kill you. No doubt. No wonder some areas don't hesitate to deliver jungle justice on any thief they catch red handed.

Barryseal:

He meant he used a phishing scheme to design a page which was a replica of payoneer.

Enjoy your ill gotten wealth and mansions from the small cubicle in prison. An electrical engineer from UNN, what a shame. One of those who keep giving Nigeria a bad name.

thorpido:
No matter how much you think you have hit it big through fraud,there's just that one day that a transaction becomes the trigger to investigations and subsequent arrest.

Not worth it on the long run.Now he's going to have the houses confiscated and go to prison.

I really want to know the force(s) behind one not satisfying with one hit!


If not, after hitting ones , one can invest that and go back to normal life


Human is insatiable indeed

Mehn...., this guy is "good'

Kendumazy:
Mheen! Now, Alibaba, amazon, payoneer will toughen their security system which will affect alot of innocent buyers. This is not a good news for us at all. If this story is true, this is not nice at all.

I doubt if amazon sells to Nigeria anyway. He doesnt receive payment on amazon. He directs potential victims to a cloned payoneer website to steal card information. It's Alibaba that would now get strict on dealings with Nigeria.

jayson87:
the guy said he designed payoneer... LWKMD

I don't think he actually said that, it is the article writer that is being stupid.

obicaddy:
Mehn...., this guy is "good'

No, he is not that good....
He should know that you dont acquire any major investment in your personal name....
if you are on the crime lane....

Gulher:
one format learnt

it is called phishing and it has been in existence like forever, that is why u are told to be careful when entering ur cc details in unverified sites.

It a crazy method he created a book and sold it on Amazon and he created a fake payment portal that will look like Payoneer once you use your card to make payment it will save your card info and he will use it to shop and ship items from alibaba site he could buy 10 IPhone X mas and asked for the item to be shipped to Ghana

buying from Alibaba was just his way of laundering ( washing) the money.

Probably a phishing page

Correcto:
I am not IBO but your write up makes no sense. The media is not interested in Genuine business. Crime exist in all tribes.

Pls I'm talking to my people because I know average igbo man are harworkinng but some unscrupulous bastards kept disgracing serious hardworking ones and those are the ones I'm talking to so pls oga pls face your side oo na beg i take beg you ok.

I hope you were not brought up with stolen money either directly or indirectly

Greed.know when to stop.

I totally agree with you...but take a minute to read the part where he said admitted that he was a fraudster. If the business is so legit, why send your goods to Ghana to be sold whereas your country has a ready made market? I think we should be lauding the police for good work done not knocks.

Phishing is social engineering- the use of subtle deception to obtain sensitive personal information from unsuspecting victims.

True!
Since he has gotten that block Cash out
He should have just stopped scamming
And invested in legit business
So there wouldn't be any need for raising eyebrows for the source of his wealth....
