Crime / 3 Nigerian Scammers Get 235-years Jail Sentence In U.S. by ariy(m): 9:09pm On May 29, 2017 |
You may have heard of hilarious Nigerian scams. My all time favourite is this one: A Nigerian astronaut has been trapped in space for the past 25 years and needs $3 million to get back to Earth, Can you help? Moreover, Nigerians are also good at promising true love and happiness. But You know, Love hurts. Those looking for true love and happiness lost tens of millions of dollars over the Nigerian dating and romance scams. These criminals spend their whole day trolling the online dating sites for contact emails and then send off hundreds of thousands of fraudulent emails awaiting the victim's response. A US federal district court in Mississippi has sentenced such three Nigerian scammers to a collective 235 years in prison for their roles in a large-scale international fraud network that duped people out of tens of millions of dollars. The three Nigerian nationals were part of a 21-member gang of cyber criminals, of which six, including Ayelotan, Raheem, and Mewase, were extradited from South Africa to the Southern District of Mississippi in July 2015 to face charges in the case. Oladimeji Seun Ayelotan, 30, faces up to 95 years in prison Rasaq Aderoju Raheem, 31, faces up to 115 years in prison Femi Alexander Mewase, 45, faces up to 25 years in prison A federal jury found all of them guilty of offenses involving mail fraud, wire fraud, credit card fraud, identity theft, and theft of government property, the US Department of Justice announced Thursday. Also, Ayelotan and Raheem were found guilty of conspiracies to commit bank fraud and money laundering, which is why they have been given longer prison sentences. Until now, the justice department has charged a total of 21 suspects in this case: 12 defendants have already pleaded guilty to charges related to the conspiracy while 11 have been sentenced to date. The gang has been operating since 2001 and ran a variety of online scams, including romance scams, where the criminals used the false identity of love-struck girlfriends on a dating site to establish a romantic relationship with unsuspecting victims. Once the gang members gained the victim's trust and affection, they would convince them to carry out their money laundering schemes and launder money from other rackets via MoneyGrams and Western Union, or resend electronics and other goods bought with stolen credit cards to countries where they could be sold for a profit. The gang members were arrested by South African police in a joint operation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in December 2015. However, Nigerian scams will never die, and you could be their next victim. http://thehackernews.com/2017/05/nigerian-scams.html?m=1 |

if police arrested the kidnappers while rescue the staff and students, then no ransom was paid but if they didn't arrested any of them it means schl or parents paid ransom before they were released |

R.SF's Resolution for the year 2017. Just 2 of them .... A. There is no other rainy day to save towards. It is already raining cats and dogs in Nigeria right now. I will help as many people as I can help financially this year. Many people are suffering, and anything will go a long way to help make a number of families happy every night when they settle down for their "0 0 1". Christ did not only have compassion upon seeing the multitudes in Mark 8:2-6, he fed them. “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.” 4 His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?” 5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied. 6 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people, and they did so" I want to be like Christ this year. B. I will strongly pursue the take-off of Operation LAFIYA DOYA. Active Citizen's united for the security and protection of our "Yams" from both the Executhiefs and the Legislooters. Strategy 1. Characterize the Yams and Goats 2. Secure the Barn 3. Recommend good Yam-Tenders 4. Degoatify the Nation 5. Increase Yam storage and shelf life Tactics: 1. Count all the Tubers at harvest 2. Insist on open sun-drying of yams 3. Build moats around the barns 4. Tag all goats with FFID Technology (Fraud Frequency ID) 5. Track and hound all fraudulent Goats 6. Follow the process from Yam to Elubo and ensure no wastage 7. Incarcerate stubborn goats when necessary. Membership Open to all Hacktivists Command Structure Loose but Federated. The words of Esther 4:13-14 rings loud in my heart and mind ... "And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” I will make myself useful, defending the poor and the helpless. Perhaps you still doubt your own existence and strategy to realize your purpose in Nigeria at this time? There is no doubt in my own mind. https://www.nairaland.com/3558210/national-cake-resolution-year-2017 |
