UK Private Investigator Unmasked A Nigerian Online Dating Scammer by mediaNGR: 8:25am On Nov 21, 2018 |
BBC has released a video showing how one of its reporters, Athar Ahmad alongside a private investigator, Laura Lyons, unmasked a Nigerian online dating scammer who claimed to be Paul Richard, a US soldier based in Dubai but was later discovered to be a Nigerian named Okechukwu who owned a barbing salon in Ibadan, Oyo state. Athar whose mission is to unmask online dating scammers, had set up an account on a dating site as Kathryn Hunter - a wealthy divorcee looking for love. Not longer after he registered, four men, all claiming to be soldiers, hit her up. The most consistent was Paul Richard who claimed he was a US soldier in Dubai. “ It's not long before the catfish begin to bite. Four men approach me online and they all claim to be US soldiers''Athar saidPaul asked for her number and when he called her, his dialing code showed he was calling from Nigeria and what was most astonishing was his thick African accent despite his claim of being a US soldier. He later sent her his picture which was that of a white soldier. When asked why he had such an accent depsite being American, Paul said he had a cold, hence his distinct accent. As the conversation between them continues, Paul professed his undying love for Katryn and wished he could marry her immediately. He also started asking her to send him money.https://www.mediahelm.com.ng/2018/11/uk-private-investigator-unmasked.html Mynd44 Lalasticlala Seun
