It is painfully obvious to see these scammers are not the poor (without money) people they build themselves out to be while they carry on their scams. While this one is probably one of the higher producing scammers, and obviously did not buy off the EFCC with his money a $150,000 in US Dollars is N45,339,150.20 ( according to coinmill today https://coinmill.com/NGN_USD.html#USD=145,%20000 ) and 45 Million is a lot of money. Not to mention that is only what went through his bank account. It does not count any of the western union/MoneyGram transfers that were likely sent to a fake alias he collected.

I found the story here : https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/209321-efcc-arrests-man-145000-love-scam.html

EFCC arrests man over $145,000 love scamDSC_0005

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, said it arrested Iwuchukwu Uche for obtaining money under false pretence to the tune of USD145, 000.

Mr. Uche, who said he was a military officer working for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, in Kabul, Afghanistan, allegedly collected the money from his victim, H. Uyen, a Vietnamese woman, after promising to marry her.

The suspect, who also claimed to be a property agent operating in Nigeria and Ghana, allegedly told the victim that he needed the money to procure some documents for the planned wedding.

The money was allegedly wired to the suspect’s Diamond Bank account number: 0028998256.

The suspect will soon be charged to court, after investigation is concluded, a statement signed by EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren.
