A lovesick New Zealand woman has reportedly been swindled out of more than a quarter of a million dollars by a Nigerian scam artist, aka yahoo yahoo boy..
$267k is about 53 million naira in Nigerian currency.
The two met online before the Nigerian man, Akintunde Vincent Abiodun, posing under an English alias of Christopher Williams captured the woman's heart. Akintunde, 37, is a Higher National Diploma Holder (HND), from Federal Polytechnic Auchi, Edo State.
He convinced her to send $267,000, reassuring her that he had enough money to pay her back because he supposedly had access to a family heirloom: a gemstone worth more than $18 million which he claimed he inherited from his father.
She believed he was in love with her and was using the money to come to New Zealand and settle down with her.
The Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is investigating Abiodun, and he is set to be arraigned once the investigation is complete,
Why do Nigerians love disgracing us in the international community??
