Eight people, among which are to Nigerians, have been arrested for their alleged roles in an Africa-based cyber conspiracy that U.S. law enforcement officials say defrauded companies and citizens of millions of dollars. Five of the defendants – a Mexican, two Americans, a Ghanaian and a Nigerian – were arrested in the U.S., the Justice Department said, NAN reports The other three – two Ghanaians and a Nigerian – were arrested outside the U.S. and were being held pending extradition. The arrests were made as part of the department’s efforts to fight schemes to intercept wire transfers from businesses and individuals. “The defendants allegedly unleashed a barrage of international fraud schemes that targeted US businesses and individuals, robbing them to the tune of approximately 15 million dollars,” said Acting Assistant Attorney-General John Cronan. The indictments are part of Operation Keyboard Warrior, a recently announced effort coordinated by U.S. and international law enforcement to disrupt online frauds perpetrated from Africa. The Africa-based co-conspirators committed a series of intrusions into the servers and email systems of a Memphis-based real estate company in 2017, according to the indictment. The defendants were able to use spoofed email addresses and other anonymisation techniques to identify large financial transactions and initiated fraudulent email correspondence with relevant business parties. They then redirected closing funds for real estate transactions to destinations in Africa. The indictment includes charges related to wire fraud, money laundering, computer fraud and identity fraud. Some of the Africa-based defendants are also charged with operating romance scams, fraudulent-check scams,gold-buying scams and credit card scams. https://lailasnews.com/2-nigerians-6-others-arrested-for-allegedly-stealing-15m-from-us-firms/ 1 Like

![]() A fight distracted our attention yesterday while we were watching the Portugal vs Iran match... Two yahoo guys were fighting over a transaction so some security (Civil defense, police, neighborhood guard) went to savage the situation. Unlike me, I decided to draw close to know he cause of their differences that was when I realised they were Yahoo guys. The way those guys were confidently and shamelessly explaining the scenario of how he scammed a client and his colleague hijacked the transaction and the way they were being celebrated made me lose hope in this country... At the end they were hailed and freed on the basis of Omoadugbo ni won.... I learnt also that in some part of Benin and Delta, If you are not into Yahoo and internet scam, even ur parent will think u are slow and useless.. Where have we gotten it wrong as a nation??
